Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

Sophie confesses that she ran with the Olympic Torch on Monday but failed to tell Rob. Now, the Torch is in Thredbo Village!

Today's contestants:
Marisa Ceroni
Kerrie Harrington (returning with $1,294 in prizes)
Barry Robson

Rob says that he actually ran into Barry weeks ago when the torch came through Glen Waverley...but Barry didn't know that.

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

Round 1

THING

MARISA	Kerrie	Barry
165: T (x3) Free Spin! 150: S (x4) Lucky S! 275: H (DUD!)	120: N -50: A (x2) PROTON: L (x2) (+150 value) 200: R 200: M Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
465	620

The buzzer sounds on the M call! Rob doesn't know what to do, but the reveal is done correctly a few seconds later.

THING

Kerrie solves SATELLITE TRANSMISSION, and a new car is not too far away.

Stand by while we transmit these prizes to our home viewer. There's a Weber kettle BBQ, a $400 HMV music voucher, and a Driza-Bone vest and sweater to look at, but only Kerrie gets to decide what she keeps.

She'll keep the HMV voucher.

Marisa (FS)	Kerrie (P)	Barry
465	620
	$400 HMV music

Will this BONUS prize speak volumes? How loud will one of our contestants be after winning an Avanti portable audio electronics collection?

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

Round 2

CLUE

Marisa (FS)	KERRIE (P)	Barry

	450: S 230: T BANKRUPT! (680)	660: R 310: N (x3) -50: E (x2) 430: H 310: P -50: A (x2) 610: C Solve: Correct!
465		2,220

CLUE

Barry solves IAN THORPE'S NICKNAME. Well done, but can he go the extra mile and score 200 by answering the clue?

Barry thinks it's Fish. He was thinking of "Super Fish", but this nickname is actually Thorpedo.

Speaking of fish, it's time for Barry to go fishing for a prize! He could pull out a choice of 3 pairs of Taranto lady's shoes, a set of 6 Trevor Opray prints, or a Saas racing seat!

Barry pulls out the shoes.

Marisa (FS)	Kerrie (P)	Barry
465	620	2,220
	$400 HMV music	Lady's shoes

We begin our next round.

PLACE

Barry thinks he's solved SWEATSHOP ...except that turns out to be incorrect.

Marisa solves SWEETSHOP.

Rob: A "sweatshop" on the Wheel? I don't think so.

Let's give Marisa a chance to take a sweet prize! Will she love a Seagull pewter tableware set, a Nylex outdoor living/gardening package, or an i on Australia e-mail/phone system?

Marisa might love a phone system.

Marisa	Kerrie (P)	Barry
3,005	620	2,650
Phone system	$400 HMV music	Lady's shoes

It's down to this, with one more chance to play in the Cash Car & Stars giveaway! One more chance at the cash and a Proton Satria XLI!

The answer to the last puzzle was OLYMPIC TORCH. Let's give you one more!

He'll be a good son and offer Barry something for his efforts. We finish with a Whirlpool front load washer, a Minelab metal detector, and a 5-night Mercure Resort/Gold Coast holiday.

Barry will take the holiday.

Marisa	Kerrie (...)	Barry

Whitsunday Island cruise
Henry Griffitts golf bag, accessories, and fitting session ($4,398)

Proton Persona XLI ($19,690)
we've finally hit that number, and we're ready with a $12,000 Cash Jackpot!

With 3,285, Marisa will do her best with three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Proton Persona XLI!

Will this puzzle be nice to Marisa?
