Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Less than a dozen days remain to the Olympics opening (nine days to be exact), and the Torch is now in Woden Town!
Today's contestants:
Kerrie Harrington
Michael Casey
Jeanne Campbell (returning champion)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Still in a time out, the Wheel gives us a chance to throw on a BONUS space and award a University Games board game collection.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Kerrie might be happy to have saved the token, but now Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 580.
Kerrie: D (x2) (1,715)
Michael: P (580)
The consolation prizes are a Scala Leathergoods multi-purpose carry bag and Parker Pens.
Jeanne leaves with the beauty package and her previous prizes.
BONUS ROUND:
Kerrie's the one to step it up! She'll play for a major prize, and she could finish with one of these:
Kuala Lumpur holiday
3-piece lounge suite
8-day Whitsunday Island cruise ($6,885)
Liebherr Multi-Zone wine cellar ($3,198)
Proton Persona XLI ($19,690)
We step up one of the car wedges with an $11,900 Jackpot!
With 3,760, Kerrie will be given three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Henry Griffitts golf bag, accessories, and fitting session ($4,398)
We put our puzzle on the board:

Perfection! Kerrie solves MARATHON RUNNERS.
The Wheel will take a break from its own marathon so that Kerrie can look at a Tiffany kitchen appliance package, a Tabac men's care collection, and a Tissot bi-colour sea star watch.
Kerrie grabs the appliances.

Jeanne solves BATSMEN SPECTATORS WICKETS. We're all watching as she tries for an extra 200. Can she tell us where we are?
"The cricket" is where we'd have to be at. (Actually, a cricket match, but we know what she's talking about.)
She knew she'd have to pick a prize after that solve, so now we'll show her a 12-month supply of car care, a Madame Korner beauty package, and a Nokia 3210 phone.
Jeanne goes with the beauty package for her daughter.

Kerrie's not even tempted to spin again, so she solves SHOT PUT right now.
That will give her a good shot in the next round. Let's put a Schott Zwiesel glassware collection, a Dorling Kindersley Millennium book collection, and a Sydney Grace Hotel and theatre weekend on display!
Kerrie is going on a weekend!

Michael solves STEPLADDER.
He didn't really get to climb the ladder, but Michael can still leave us with a Sant' Andrea 56-piece cutlery set, a Paritech stock market software package, or a Coffex espresso machine with coffee.
Michael takes the "expresso" machine.
(The prize music briefly began to play before Rob could announce the winner.)

An appropriate puzzle either way...and this wasn't Kerrie's day. After time runs out, she reads Rob's card which has the answer YOU WIN SOME YOU LOSE SOME.
She could still win some more tomorrow and add to her $1,294 in prizes!
