Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Scott "Scotty" Gregory
Julianne Lynch
Terrie Aegis (returning with around $16,000 in prizes)

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

Round 1

GEOGRAPHICAL

SCOTTY	Julianne	Terrie
110: R (x2) 165: S -50: I (x2) 165: G (x2) 220: D (DUD!)	110: T PROTON: N (x2) (+150 value) Solve: Correct!
390	260

GEOGRAPHICAL

Julianne will take a guess of STIRLING RANGE ...and she's halfway towards a new Proton car!

She's just as sure about which of our wide range of prizes to pick from. In our starting round, we look at a Driza-Bone vest and sweater, a Schott Zwiesel glassware set, and a Weber kettle BBQ.

Julianne takes the kettle BBQ.

Scotty	Julianne (P)	Terrie
390	260
	Kettle BBQ

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

Puzzler A

SLANG

The answer is LIKE TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY.

Don't worry about taking the BONUS prize from us! Rob might be the one crying if nobody claims a Microsoft Encarta reference software suite.

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

(Julianne was ready to spin before the BONUS was announced!)

Round 2

CLUE

Scotty	JULIANNE (P)	Terrie

	180: S (x3) 230: T (x2) 310: R (x3) -50: A (x4) 660: L (x2) -50: E BANKRUPT! (1,280)	Lose A Turn!
390
180: G -50: I (x2) -50: U 230: N (DUD!)	310: B 180: D Solve: Correct!
470	490

CLUE

Julianne reads what's on the board. We can make her score a little larger with a bonus 200 if she can answer the clue.

She quickly takes the bonus with the answer of emu.

The largest prize will have to wait for at least one more round. Julianne will still be happy with a man's sports chronograph watch, a University Games board game pack, or a Taranto shoe selection.

Julianne wants the shoes.

Scotty	Julianne (P)	Terrie
470	950
	Kettle BBQ Shoes

We begin our next round.

Round 3

THING

Scotty	Julianne (P)	TERRIE

		385: S (DUD!)
470
P-310: R 310: S (Repeat)	450: T (x2) -50: E Persona: N (+310 value) -50: A -50: O Solve: Wrong!
780	610

THING

Julianne also takes a guess at this puzzle...but she's wrong with TRENDY COAT.

Scotty	Julianne (P/P)	Terrie

		310: C (x2) 145: H Lucky H! Solve: Correct!
780	610	600

THING

Terrie reads what's on the board. Julianne can't believe she gave her guess.

Julianne's still ahead, so she could have another shot. But Terrie's the one who gets a Creola jewellery collection, a Nylex outdoor living/gardening package, or a decor kitchen storage product collection.

Terrie picks the jewellery.

Scotty	Julianne (...)	Terrie
780	1,560	600
	Kettle BBQ Shoes	Jewellery

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

Puzzler B

BEFORE & AFTER

The answer is AFRICAN QUEEN ELIZABETH.

The top-dollar value is now 2,500!

Round 4

OCCUPATION

SCOTTY	Julianne	Terrie
780	610
510: R (x3)
1,290

OCCUPATION

RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

Scotty doesn't quite have the upper hand when Rob gives the Wheel a spin. Consonants will be worth 460.

Scotty: G (DUD!)
Julianne: T (1,070)
Terrie: S (DUD!)
Scotty: B (DUD!)
Julianne: D (DUD!)
Terrie: N (DUD!)

Scotty: L (DUD!)
Julianne: M (1,530)
Terrie: C (460)
Scotty: W (1,750)

OCCUPATION

Scotty solves CRIME WRITER.

It would be a crime to let Scotty go home empty handed, so here's a good selection! Scotty's getting a $1,200 lady's clothing selection, an Oneida 58-piece cutlery set, or a Tommy Armour golf club collection.

"Swing!" Scotty's getting some golf clubs!

Scotty	Julianne	Terrie
1,750	2,480	1,060
Golf clubs	Kettle BBQ Shoes	Jewellery

The consolation prizes are Strachan silver-plated picture frames and Parker Pens.

Terrie leaves with $16,499 in prizes including the car.

BONUS ROUND:

Julianne could end it like Terrie a few games ago, winning a new car as a major prize here! That's just one of the prizes, and here are some more:

Great Barrier Reef cruise
5-night Chateau Yering Yarra Valley holiday ($7,337)
4 Roamer of Switzerland lady's and gent's watches ($3,940)
Proton Persona XLI ($19,690)
To make it even better, her car could come with a $14,200 cash Jackpot!

With 2,480, Julianne will have the choice of three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Integral Furniture plaza lounge suite ($5,170)

We look at the puzzle board one last time:

PHRASE

We'll relax and watch as Julianne picks TSR, and A.

PHRASE

She says TO MAKE YOUR halfway through, and she does not solve TO HAVE YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU. Never mind that, as she'll just come back tomorrow for a better day.
