Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

Some "Guy" at the Wheel is following the Olympic Torch to Cessnock. We think.

Today's contestants:
Roger Ford
Nicky Malloy (female)
Guy Phillips (returning champion)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.

Round 1

THING

ROGER	Nicky	Guy
310: T (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!	300: S 220: N (DUD!)
		300
Lose A Turn!	300: R (x2) 750: L (DUD!)	-50: E (x4) 120: C 220: H PROTON: B (+150 value) Solve: Correct!
	300	740

THING

Guy solves CHEESEBURGER. He might be drooling about the other half of our car that he could win later on.

Right now, Rob's getting hungry. We'll serve Guy a Tosca luggage set, a Hewlett Packard scanner, or a Hills Industries trampoline, and then Rob can have a bite.

Guy will try not to bite the trampoline.

Roger	Nicky	Guy (P)
	300	740
		Trampoline

No Puzzler today, Rob! We have some cash and a Proton Satria XLI to give away!

The answer to our last puzzle was TO WIN FAIR AND SQUARE. Our next puzzle is:

$10,000 Puzzle

(No category given, but Rob says this person is a fabulous swimmer.)

We still have a BONUS today! Why wouldn't we want to give someone a Royal Selangor pewter fruit bowl?

The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.

Round 2

CLUE

Roger	NICKY	Guy (P)
	300
	310: S 180: R 530: T (x2) Lucky T! 385: N 660: L -50: E (x2) -50: A (x3) 1,500: P (x2) Solve: Correct!
	4,295

CLUE

Perfection! Nicky solves A TADPOLE'S PARENT. She grew up so fast, and she can grow just a little more with a bonus 200 for answering the clue.

Some extra growth as she answers frog (though Rob also would've accepted toad).

We hope she'll never outgrow our prizes like a home office software package, an Echo brush cutter, or a Saas racing seat.

Nicky's ready for a brush cutter, as she's sick of using scissors.

Roger	Nicky	Guy (P)
	4,495	740
	Brush cutter	Trampoline

We begin our next round.

Round 3

PERSON

Roger	Nicky	GUY (P)
		150: N (DUD!)

430: T (DUD!)	1,500: R (x3) 230: D (DUD!)	145: L (DUD!)
	1,500
530: S 145: H (DUD!)	-50: E 610: P (DUD!)
530	1,450

PERSON

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

We don't have much time for those last letters! Rob must give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 310.

Guy: M (310)

PERSON

Guy solves MURRAY ROSE before the trilon is turned.

He might also pick a prize even before looking at them, but we'll give the viewers time to look at a Michel's Patisserie coffee package, a Denver 10-pin bowling package, and Royal Selangor desk accessories.

Guy wants the desk accessories.

Roger	Nicky	Guy (...)
530	5,945	1,050
	Brush cutter	Trampoline Desk accessories

The top-dollar value is now 2,500!

Round 4

GEOGRAPHICAL

Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 375, and Roger will start.

Roger: N (x2) (905)
Nicky: S (1,825)
Guy: R (375)
Roger: T (DUD!)
Nicky: M (DUD!)
Guy: K (DUD!)
Roger: L (DUD!)
Nicky: E (x2) (1,825)
Guy: P (DUD!)
Roger: G (1,280)

GEOGRAPHICAL

Roger solves NORWEGIAN SEA.

We don't know if it will make up for all of Roger's bad luck today, but we think he'll like a 5-night Gold Coast holiday, a Raymond Weil lady's tango watch, or a Thor front load washer.

Roger sticks with the holiday.

Roger	Nicky	Guy (...)
1,280	6,320	1,425
Gold Coast	Brush cutter	Trampoline Desk accessories

The consolation prizes are a Pixi Foto family portrait package with photo session and Parker Pens.

Guy still leaves with all his prizes.

BONUS ROUND:

We know that Nicky's not finished growing her collection of prizes. She's now ready for the good stuff, and here's some of our major prizes:

3-piece lounge suite
Lady's and gent's golf package
La Germania stainless steel oven ($4,003)
5-night South Molle Island Resort holiday ($4,315)
Proton Satria XLI ($14,990)
One of those car spaces hides a $11,300 cash Jackpot!

With 6,320, Nicky quickly scores five consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

La Germania stainless steel oven

This puzzle will put Nicky to the test!

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

She'll put the puzzle to the test with the common STNRL, and E.

PHRASE

She has no idea, and she does not solve A BAD WORKMAN ALWAYS BLAMES HIS TOOLS (Rob forgets the "always" when first reading the answer).

Nicky's son Kyle comes up to visit her mother Nicky anyway, and Rob says hello to him. Will Kyle be watching tomorrow?
