Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

Only 11 days to go before the Olympics, and our torch moves to Bowral!

Today's contestants:
Sharyn Clark
Nicholas Kaiser (returning with $6,200 in prizes)
Craig Versani

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

Round 1

BEFORE & AFTER

SHARYN	Nicholas	Craig
200: T (DUD!)	120: S (x2) 110: N 250: R (DUD!)	200: D (DUD!)
	230
250: C (DUD!)	-50: E (x5) 750: H (DUD!)	200: P 275: B PROTON: L (x2) (+150 value) 110: G (x2) Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
	180	735

Craig tries to pick up the PROTON before calling a letter.

BEFORE & AFTER

Craig solves SPELLING BEE GEES for half of the P-R-O-T-O-N.

He should be dancing, but we have to interrupt him with a display of prizes. Craig must pick a Yashica compact camera, a JNL 28-litre microwave oven, or a Limited Edition Nintendo 64.

Craig wants the camera.

It's a new week, but the same Cash Car & Stars giveaway! We still have cash and a Proton Satria XLI to be won!

The answer to the last puzzle was DAWN FRASER. Next one, please!

$10,000 Puzzle

(No category strip is shown.)

Of course, B-O-N-U-S spells BONUS. Luckily, you don't need to spell the whole word on the board to win a Korjo Travel accessory range.

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

Round 2

FILL IN THE BLANK

Sharyn	NICHOLAS	Craig (P)
	180
	180: S (x3) BANKRUPT! (360)	Persona: R (DUD!)

430: R (Repeat)	BONUS: L (x2) (+180 value) 450: C (DUD!)	310: C (Repeat)

	80	1,980

"Do you know how hard it is just to spin that thing up? My goodness." No Persona token for that R call.

FILL IN THE BLANK

Craig solves ? PENGUIN ? FLOSS ? LIGHTS. We shine the light on him and wait for him to score 200 by filling in the blank!

And we light up some more money with his answer of Fairy.

It's time to shine the lights on some more prizes. Craig will want one of a Scala lady's leather collection, a Sierra software package, or a Triton handyman work centre.

And his mum and girlfriend can fight over the leathergoods.

We begin our next round.

Round 3

PLACE

Sharyn	Nicholas	CRAIG (P)

		150: S (DUD!)
	80

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

Craig just got that first spin in time, but now we need Rob to give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 450, and let's say that Sharyn begins.

Sharyn: R (450) (She thinks it's a PARK.)
Nicholas: P (530)

PLACE

Nicholas says OLYMPIC PARK.

Craig: K (450) (Yes, we already know it's a park.)
Sharyn...

PLACE

...just says CHILDRENS after being prompted for a letter.

Nicholas: T (980)
Craig: W (DUD!)
Sharyn: G (DUD!)
Nicholas: N (x2) (1,430)

PLACE

Nicholas solves NATIONAL PARK. All that, and we still missed the lucky L.

Now to our prize park, since we needs reasons to keep saying "park". Nicholas is ready to pick a Royal Selangor glassware set, a Guava lady's clothing selection, or a Swiss Army Delta watch.

Nicholas picks the watch.

Sharyn	Nicholas	Craig (...)

The top-dollar value is now 2,500!

(Because we're running really late, some letters are revealed in advance.)

Round 4

NAME

Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 460, and Sharyn begins.

Sharyn: T (910)
Nicholas: N (460)
Craig: "S for Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." (460)
Sharyn: I (910)
Nicholas: P (x2) (920)

NAME

Nicholas says SIR ROBERT OPPERMAN.

Craig: H (920)

NAME

Craig tries SIR HERBERT OPPERMAN.

Sharyn: U (910)

NAME

Sharyn solves SIR HUBERT OPPERMAN.

She waited so long that she deserved a prize. Sharyn gets to take an Apollo window blinds package, a 6-night Queensland holiday, or a Creola jewellery collection.

She wants the holiday.

Sharyn	Nicholas	Craig (...)

The consolation prizes are a pair of Royal Selangor pewter goblets and Parker Pens.

Nicholas goes home with his prizes from today and last week.

BONUS ROUND:

Forget that last puzzle Craig. Think about this last puzzle, and win one of our major prizes! Here's some of our list:

Whitsunday sailing holiday
Custom-made golf set
Proton Persona XLI ($19,690)
We'll give that cash Jackpot a boost to $11,700.

With 4,285, Craig also gets a quick four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Proton Persona XLI!

So little time, and such a little puzzle.

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

His choices of TRNS, and A had better be worth it!

PHRASE

He instantly solves A RED HERRING to win the car! Craig has finally scored it! Maybe he can do it again tomorrow, but for now, we're out of time.
