Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Chris Crowther (female)
Michael Pate
Nicky Malloy (returning champion)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Nicky tries a guess of RON CLARKE. She clears this round!
We have a BONUS prize that would like to make itself at home with you, if you can welcome a pair of Retravision micro furnaces to your home.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
After everyone does their part to reveal the puzzle "perfectly", it's Chris who takes a Tasco telescope, a blue Epoch violin, or a Hitachi power tools package.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Let's take this in a different direction. Rob gives the Wheel a spin, and consonants will be worth 230.
Michael: D (DUD!)
Nicky: P (3,200)
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Chris: S (220)
Michael: R (3,125)
Nicky: D (DUD!)
Chris: N (DUD!)
Michael: L (DUD!)
Nicky: E (x3)
Chris: M (DUD!)
Michael: P (DUD!)
Nicky: C (220)
Chris: H (440)
BONUS ROUND:
We don't find it too bizarre that Nicky's here again. A few more prizes, and another chance at a major one like...
Entertainer oven
Holiday in Vanuatu
Integral Furniture plaza lounge suite ($5,170)
King and Lady Cobra golf sets ($5,050)
Proton Satria XLI ($14,990)
Wouldn't it be awesome to win an $11,400 Jackpot?
We add 3,830 to her previous 6,320 for 10,150, and Nicky now has a great opportunity with seven consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
La Germania stainless steel oven ($4,003)
Will a smaller puzzle be better?
Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
