Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Brad Gibbons (returning with $2,000 in prizes)
Debbie Pine
Lance Hoar
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Perfection! Brad solves NURSERY RHYME.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is CROWN OF THORNS STARFISH.
Our BONUS will keep you wide awake. There's a Conair grooming kit to take!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is MADAM BUTTERFLY.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Brad could still take the lead, as he has the first call after Rob gives the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 510.
Brad: S (2,895)
Debbie: L (510)
Lance: N (DUD!)
Brad: P (x3) (3,405)
Lance only had one good letter call, and nothing else. He and Debbie are taking home Zepter International stainless steel utensils and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.
BONUS ROUND:
It's time to give a stamp of approval to one of our major prizes! Brad could win one of these:
Kuala Lumpur holiday
He might also like some cash, and there's a $9,600 Jackpot somewhere on the Wheel!
We add 4,235 to his previous 1,975 for 6,210, now bringing Brad to a healthy five consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Pair of Raymond Weil gold watches
Let's try this with a big total and a big puzzle.

Keeping a grip on the Olympic Torch, we now follow it to Launceston!

Debbie solves THE LAND OF THE DANES, and that's what vowels are for. Debbie takes an extra 200 if she can land on the answer to our clue.
She doesn't understand it. The answer is Denmark. *BUZZ* "Oh, hello." 
Say hello to these prizes and take one home with you, Debbie! This is the land of a University Games board game package, a Gregory's book and map package, and a Spiegelau glassware collection.
