Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Andrew Wood (returning champion)
Mark Rice
Alexandra "Alex" Barrie
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 ROMEO AND JULIET.
Maybe not the prize of the millennium, just a simple BONUS prize. Maybe to go with the books, it's a Warner Vision official Olympic Video collection!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is DON BRADMAN IS KNIGHTED.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
The consolation prizes are Reality Eyewear sunglasses and Parker Pens.
BONUS ROUND:
Alex played a great game, so we should give her something even bigger! We've got several major prizes including:
Whirlpool white appliance package ($4,596)
6-night Coconut Beach Resort holiday ($4,871)
Proton Satria GL ($12,190)
Our Cash jackpot reaches a new level of $13,000!
With 3,935, one more spin would've helped, but Alex gets three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Selection of Guava lady's clothing ($4,000)
One more puzzle for her!

Perfection! Andrew solves SALTED PEANUTS. A little early, as there was a lucky P on the board.
They're perfect to have while we're watching Andrew take a look at the first prizes: a Dorling Kindersley Millennium book collection, a Hewlett Packard computer scanner, and three pairs of lady's shoes.
Andrew decides to start with the book collection.

Alex solves POPCORN CHOC TOPS SCREEN. She's not on the big screen, but we're looking to see if Alex can score 200 by telling us where we are.
She knows where we are! It's the cinema! (The chyron displays the answer as movies.)
We won't be inviting Alex to the snack bar just yet, but maybe somewhere better! She's in line to pick up a pair of Coinwatch Summit watches, a Multelink Smartphone system, or The Sak lady's handbag collection!
Alex picks up a handbag collection.

Come blow your horn- Wait, that's the wrong one. At least he's found something. Now he just has to pick from a Nylex outdoor living/gardening package, Sant' Andrea cutlery settings, and a $1,000 Guava clothing voucher.
Mark wants the clothing voucher for the lady in his life.

She thinks of a NATIONAL PARK, but she does not solve KAKADU NATIONAL PARK...and she even lives next to a park. Alex stays at $3,800 in prizes and will give it another go tomorrow.
