Airdate: October 27, 2000
Today's contestants:
Lachlan Mackenzie
Zena Reyer
Terrie Aegis (returning with around $14,000 including a car!)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and here's our first puzzle.
Terrie solves GRANNY FLAT TYRE. A bad puzzle for someone who just won a new car.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is NODDY AND BIG-EARS.
One of the things that should be flat right now is our BONUS space. Pick it up, and you'll win a complete Kookaburra Sport package!
The top-dollar value is increased to 1,500.
We begin our next round.
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
We weren't slow enough to save Zena from trouble. Now's the time for Rob to give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 180.
Terrie: L (555)
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is DOCTOR LIVINGSTONE I PRESUME.
The top-dollar value is now 2,500!
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 295, and Lachlan starts this one.
Lachlan: T (x4) (1,045)
Zena: H (x2) (295)
Terrie: S (295)
Lachlan: E (x2) (1,045)
Zena: P (590)
BONUS ROUND:
This is nothing like yesterday for Terrie. Good thing she already has a car, because it's going to be more difficult to win a major prize this time. Here's another look:
Lady's and gent's watch package
7-night Iririki Island Resort holiday in Vanuatu ($6,822)
Whirlpool white appliance package ($4,596)
Proton Satria GL ($12,190)
We presume that the Cash Jackpot is now at $14,100.
With 1,960, Terrie will have to accept a challenge of just two consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Guava lady's clothing selection ($4,000)
Who knows? She might get lucky with this puzzle.
(We start with a clip of yesterday's solve for the Proton.)
Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
"Morticia Falkiner" walks out in black, and that would make Rob "Thing". 
Rob and Sophie plug the Paralympics closing ceremony that is happening on Sunday!

Terrie solves GRANNY FLAT TYRE. A bad puzzle for someone who just won a new car.
We'll be forgiven for that one after Terrie takes one of our prizes. She can have a Hills Industries children's play centre, a Decor homeware products package, or a Tissot dress watch.
Terrie takes the watch.

Terrie solves IN WITH A SPORTING CHANCE.
She still has a good chance of winning even with such a low score, but we'll pause so that she can take a Valvoline car care package, a Kyocera Socius camera, or 1 year of Video Ezy movies.
Terrie throws in a year of movies.

Terrie solves TOWN PLANNER. It was hard to plan for a lucky P.
She will also have to plan how to fit the prizes in her new car. She's now looking at a Gatineau skin care package, a mini home office suite, and a Royal Selangor desk accessory set.
Terrie will now pick the skin products.

Zena solves TO GET THE THUMBS UP.
Now we wait to see if she'll give a thumbs up to any of our last prizes. There's a Creola jewellery collection, a Mikasa dinner set, and a 5-night holiday in Melbourne.
Zena is going with the Melbourne holiday!

We understand if Lachlan doesn't feel like giving a thumbs up right now. He and Zena will take home a Holeproof sleepwear package and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.

She only says ALISTAIR, and after running out of time, Rob asks if she's a "Trekkie". Probably not. It was WILLIAM SHATNER CAPTAIN KIRK. We'll just carry her score over to Monday if she can win again!
