Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
We end this week with the Olympic Torch travelling to Dubbo! Just 14 days to go!
Today's contestants:
Melinda Kime
Juliet Spence (returning, but awfully empty)
Nicholas Kaiser
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
We're topping our Wheel with a BONUS space, which you can take to win a Scala Leathergoods executive leather desk set.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
A late bell for a giveaway show, we think. Rob will now give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 640.
Juliet: S (1,300)
Nicholas: R (640)
Melinda: P (1,620)
So Juliet ran back here and still finished with nothing, we're afraid. She and Melinda will take home an Encyclopedia Britannica CD-ROM package and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.
BONUS ROUND:
Nicholas could not be caught, either! He's ready to play for a major prize, and we're ready with.
Selection of modern flooring
5-night South Molle Island holiday ($4,315)
Integral Furniture Plaza lounge suite ($5,170)
Proton Satria XLI ($14,990)
His pockets are ready for a $11,600 cash Jackpot!
With 4,155, Nicholas gets a quick four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

But now she's sprinting over to one final prize, running away with a 7-night Saville Abbey Hotel Brisbane holiday, a Sevylor inflatable boat, or a Stanley Rogers 88-piece cutlery set...
...and Melinda doesn't care about the other prizes. She's taking a holiday!
