Eddie solves BRUCE WILLIS THE FIFTH ELEMENT.
He's still far behind, so he knows he'll need to catch up. But let's take a break to give him a Backyard Buddy storage system, a CPS stainless steel cookware package, or a Brother laser printer.
Eddie will have the cookware.

Those other two spins hurt, so Rob needs to hit top-dollar when he gives the Wheel a Spin. Consonants are worth... BONUS!
Or we can give a prize to the first person to call a good letter. Aside from that, consonants are worth 200.

Linda solves BIRTHDAY.
She'll certainly like some ice cream to celebrate hers. But no matter when she celebrates, we can give her a Stanley Rogers 88-piece cutlery set, a Flexi Spray shower tower, or a holiday in Canberra as a gift.
Linda will stick to the cutlery.

She thinks about the first letter, but she's silent until the timer runs out. "Racing now at the 400-" and with that from Rob, she now knows it's RACECOURSE. Linda will play again tomorrow.
