Australia - August 18, 2000 recap

Airdate: August 18, 2000

Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!


Today's contestants:
Cliff Schwartz
Marty Smith (returning with $1,421 in prizes)
Kerri Bernard

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 STEEPLECHASE.

---

You'll need to clear some obstacles to pick up our BONUS prize. They're all chasing it, but only one can win a Weber kettle BBQ package.

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 THE OLYMPIC FLAME.

---

The top-dollar value is now 2,500!




RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

We just need to keep this round short. Rob will give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 280.

Marty: P (DUD!)
Kerri: D (DUD!)
Cliff: H (DUD!)
Marty: B (DUD!)
Kerri: W (500)
Cliff: F (DUD!)
Marty: G (DUD!)
Kerri: K (DUD!)
Cliff: C (DUD!)
Marty: Y (850)
Kerri: J (780)






That Wheel and these puzzles didn't give Cliff a lot of opportunities. He and Marty will both receive a Royal Selangor pewter goblet set and Parker Pens as a consolation prize.






BONUS ROUND:

Kerri's going to need a weekend from our game, but not before she can steal a major prize from us! It might be one of these:

Above-ground pool
7-night Darwin and Kakadu National Park holiday ($5,063)
Whirlpool white appliance package ($5,050)
Proton Persona XLI ($19,690)
She might just buy some jewellery with a $10,600 cash Jackpot.

With 5,970, Kerri needed a better spin from Rob, but she can still have four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Guava lady's clothing selection ($4,000)

She finishes the week with this puzzle.
