Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Isabel Fernandez (returning champion)
Lance Rice
Louise Smith
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is RAINBOW LORIKEET.
You get that "dot" out, and we get that BONUS out. One contestant will get that Dorling Kindersley Olympic Book collection out of our studio and take it home with them!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
Isabel wants the power tools for her dad again.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
An "H for hello" and a hello to Rob who will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 385.
Lance: P (DUD!)
Louise: F (Lucky F!) (2,930)
Isabel: R (385)
Lance: M (DUD!)
Louise: K (DUD!)
Isabel: B (DUD!)
Lance: J (DUD!)
Louise: C (DUD!)
Isabel: V (770)
No prizes necessary to play the major puzzle, but Isabel is happy to take one anyway. Maybe a Star Shots glamour photography package, a Coinwatch watch and desk clock, or a Nylex outdoor living/gardening package?
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 295, and Isabel will begin.
Isabel: R (DUD!)
Lance: N (DUD!)
Louise: S (DUD!)
Isabel: L (295)
Lance: G (DUD!)
Louise: M (DUD!)
Isabel: D (DUD!)
Lance: T (DUD!)
Louise: B (DUD!)
Isabel: C (DUD!)
Lance: F (DUD!) ("Are there any letters in this puzzle?" - Rob)
Louise: P (x3) (3,225) ("Thank you.")
As a reward for putting an end to this round, Louise deserves a prize. We'll give her the choice of a Esen home office suite, a Eurolec front load washer, or a United International 12-month movie pass.
BONUS ROUND:
Isabel returns! She has more money now, so she has a better shot at one of these major prizes!
European holiday in Australia
Lady's clothing collection
7-night Novotel Launceston holiday ($5,710)
Niagara Therapy Australian-made queen-size bed ($7,945)
Proton Satria GL ($12,190)
Our Jackpot still has no limits, so would she like an extra $12,600?
We add 3,280 to her previous 1,690 for 4,970, and Isabel may now try four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Driclad above-ground pool ($4,249)
Not such a big puzzle compared to her last one.

Perfection! Isabel solves TORRES STRAIT ISLANDS.
Once again, Isabel must let someone else play...but not before she grabs a Hills Industries children's play centre, Hollywood at Home "Girls' Night In" movies, or a Saas steering wheel!
Isabel grabs a movie package.

Louise almost spins again without calling the S, but she catches herself.
Later, Isabel tries to change from E to A, and Rob almost forgets that it's already on the board.

Louise says PYRAMIDS ...but has nothing for the second row.
This allows Isabel to solve PYRAMIDS CAIRO NILE RIVER and take the lead back...if she scores the 200 by answering where we are!
It was obvious to her that we're in Egypt.
Luck might just be on Isabel's side...and so is Rob who now walks over to offer her a Zepter fondue set, a Hitachi power tool set, or a Kate Finn porcelain doll collection.
Isabel wants the power tools for her dad again.
