Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
We have to go back to the photo of our current champion as the Belly Flop Champion of 1983. Well, second place according to judges with a 6.5. As a prize, she won 6 months of Jenny Craig and 6 bottles of Elephant Beer. 
Today's contestants:
Camilla Sheridan (returning champion)
Bryce Nowlan: Part-time cab driver who would like to do a Monopoly pub crawl around London
Liane Gill: Full-time mum of two children who would like to enter federal or state politics after the kids are at school
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 500, and today, the first to spin it will win 3 music videos from Warner Vision! They are Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton, and Bette Midler.
(Rob accidentally dropped the Fleetwood Mac video on the floor, though he thought he dropped the Eric Clapton one instead.)
Here's our first puzzle:

Perfection! Bryce solves TO BE UNDER FIRE.
Rob's not the one reading about the prizes, so he can drop his cards on the floor while Bryce looks at Sheridan queen-sized bed linens, a Yashica compact camera, and a Tissot lady's bracelet watch.
Bryce wants the bedding.

Bryce just remembered it, and he solves A PAIR OF STAR-CROSSED LOVERS.
We knew all this time that we had to offer another prize in this round. Bryce wins again, and he gets an Apollo Australian-made blinds selection, a Italian-designed kitchen range hood, or a Dyson vacuum cleaner.
Bryce's parents say he should clean the house more often, so vacuum it is.

Bryce solves GARDEN and sweeps the game!
All that hard work pays off for a 7-night Queensland countryside holiday, a Thomas Cook Boot & Clothing Co. range, and The Learning Journey library. Which would his parents want for him?
We don't know about that, but Bryce wants the clothing pack.

For a while, Bryce was the only one who could even light up a letter. Liane couldn't overcome this, and she takes home a Baron & Baroness leathergoods collection as a consolation prize.
All contestants receive Parker Pens and the Mattel Wheel of Fortune board game.
Camilla goes home with the nearly $2,000 in prizes she won on the last show.
BONUS ROUND:
How much of this final puzzle can he light up with his choices? Again, hard work will pay off for one of our major prizes, maybe a Proton Satria GLI worth $16,990.
