Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
John Toray
Maria Delio (?)
Isabel Fernandez (returning with $7,340 in prizes)
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 TYPHOON.
We get a call that our BONUS has arrived. Just the right amount of spinning, and someone could end up with a Tiffany kitchen and bathroom appliance package.
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
Maria solves THE BIRTHSTONE OF OCTOBER. The bonus is calling, and Maria can take 200 more by answering the clue!
We begin our next round.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Rob doesn't have to wait for the Wheel to stop, and he can spin it right away! Consonants are worth 265.
BONUS ROUND:
We could offer expensive antiques as Major Prizes...but we weren't ready for that. Besides, we've got some other useful prizes here!
Lady's and Gent's golf sets
Whirlpool white appliance package ($4,596)
Coconut Beach Resort holiday ($4,871)
Proton Satria GL ($12,190)
With 3,485, Maria will only have three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Guava Lady's clothing selection ($4,000)
Here's one more new puzzle:
She says TO HAVE A QUEEN, but she does not solve TO HAVE A GREEN THUMB. Maria still has almost $3,000 in prizes and can still score some more tomorrow.

Maria solves ANTIQUE SHOP.
Too bad we're not offering antiques in this final round, but they might be expensive. Instead, Maria can have a Whirlpool front load washer, an Oneida 58-piece cutlery set, or a PariTech stock market software pack.
Maria takes the washing machine for mum.
