Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Eva Dragenetes (?)
Maria Delio (returning with almost $3,000 in prizes)
Bradley Johnson

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

Round 1

THING

EVA	Maria	Bradley
Free Spin! 150: T 200: R Lucky R! 110: S (x2) -50: E 750: H Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
1,360

THING

Perfection! Eva solves THESAURUS.

Rob almost forgot that he was supposed to give the contestant the choice of prizes. Remind him to tell Eva we have a family footwear package, Danoz Direct lady's and gent's shavers, and a Cyclone garden tool package.

And now, they can both hear about the garden tools.

Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?

Puzzler A

PERSON

The answer is BILL MURRAY.

Another week, another day, and it's time for the Adopt-A-Dot plug.

Rob remembered that he may throw to John for the BONUS. Soon, we might throw one of our contestants a Pilivuyt French dinnerware collection.

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

Round 2

FILL IN THE BLANK

Eva (FS)	MARIA	Bradley

		535
450: D -50: A (x4) 430: Y -50: O (x2) BANKRUPT! (780)	310: P Solve: Correct!
	310

FILL IN THE BLANK

Maria reads what's on the board, and she'll run away with the bonus 200 if she can fill in the blank.

She says dish, and after an unexpected pause, we can give her the money. Rob just forgot about it, thinking it was the egg.

We're dishing out some more prizes for Maria, and she has the choice from a Dentons bedding package, a pair of Coinwatch watches, and a Valvoline car care package.

Maria picks the bedding.

We begin our next round.

PERSON

Eva solves TINA TURNER.

Another short round, and another quick prize for Eva. We'll give her some time to look at a Tosca luggage collection, a Seagull Pewter tableware set, and a Dorling Kindersley reference library.

Eva will take off with the luggage...after the show's over.

GEOGRAPHICAL

Perfection! Eva solves SOUTH AMERICA. We think we should have had time for a fifth round.

Eva is just too good at this game. Another solve for her, and another prize. We end with Victory curtains and blinds, a Coffex espresso machine with coffee, and a Creola jewellery collection.

Eva's boyfriend wants the coffee machine.

Bradley could have had a better day on this show, but the competition was tough. He and Maria will take home a Cobb & Co. Napoleon clock and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.

Maria leaves with the bedding package and her previous prizes.

BONUS ROUND:

Not only was she good at the main game, but Eva's also in great shape to win a major prize! Show us some of the prizes!

Vanuatu Holiday
Guava lady's clothing selection ($4,000)
Niagara Therapy reclining chair ($6,795)
Proton Satria GL ($12,190)
Show us the money! That Jackpot is up to $12,800!

With 6,120, Eva could get this with five consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Whirlpool white appliance package ($4,596)

She's wide awake for this puzzle.

Bonus Puzzle

THING

If her luck is as good as it was before, TNRSL, and E could fill in enough.

THING

She instantly solves HOT WATER BOTTLE to win the appliance package! A great game for Eva with $7,043 in prizes, and she's coming back, possibly for another great show!
