WHEEL OF FORTUNE – CELEBRITY WEEK 1997 (WEDNESDAY)
John Deeks: Tonight, it's Celebrity Week! Ross Higgins, Tempany Deckert and Andrew Daddo! They're playing for lucky viewers to win cash and prizes, right here on......
Audience Chant: WHEEL OF FORTUNE!!
John: From the Seven Network Studio, it's Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune! And here's the star, Rob Elliott!!
(Rob is wearing a dark suit, with a yellow and black checkered tie, Kerrie is wearing what looks like a bright yellow airline hostesses uniform.)
The celebrities playing are
Ross Higgins: Veteran Australian actor, known for such shows as The Naked Vicar Show and Kingswood Country
Tempany Deckert: Actress who starred (at the time) on the Australian soap, Home and Away.
Andrew Daddo: Well known Australian television personality who at the time, hosted “World's Funniest People”, and “The World's Greatest TV Commercials”
ROUND 1
Rob mentions that all the celebrities will be playing for charity, and the winner of the Grand Final on Monday, will win for their viewer, the Proton Persona GLI Aeroback, valued at $17,990. Rob then reveals Ross' home viewer partner, tells everyone that the TOP DOLLAR is ($)500, and that the puzzle for ROUND 1 is a FAMILY

FAMILY
(To get control of the wheel, the celebrities have to be the first to buzz in with the answer to this.
WHAT IS BOTH SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FOUND IN A LIBRARY, AND A WORD THAT DESCRIBES THE WAY YOU HIRE AN ACT)
After some stalling, Andrew buzzes in, and says BOOK for control of the wheel. To Rob's delight (?) he immediately lands on a BANKRUPT . Ross then lights up 2 T's for ($)225, but then unfortunately guesses an incorrect S. Tempany then lights up 1 R for ($)250, then lights up a D for ($)135, then proceeds to light up 1 E, then proceeds to light up 3 N's for ($)180, then lights up 1 Y, for another ($)180, followed by 1 M for ($)210, then finally 1 L for ($)150. The board now looks like this:
R Y _ N
_ N D
T _ T _ M
_ ' N E _ L
FAMILY
She knows that it is "RYAN AND TATUM O'NEAL", and she secures her ($)1,055, so it can't be taken away by a bankrupt
At the end of ROUND 1, here are the scores.
Ross: ($)225 (not secured)
Tempany: ($)1.055 (secured)
Andrew: ($)0
ROUND 2
Rob mentions that the TOP DOLLAR is ($)1000 and that there is a BONUS prize on the wheel, which today is a CD Player/Stereo System from AWA. The category for round 2 is a PHRASE
_ _ / _ _ /
_ _ _ / _ _ _ /
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ /
PHRASE
Andrew immediately spins up ($)1000, but unfortunately guesses an incorrect S. Ross then spins up ($)165, and lights up a B, then promptly lands on LOSE A TURN. Tempany proceeds to spin up the BONUS and then proceeds to light up 3 T’s for ($)410 (the amount underneath the BONUS wedge), then 2 H’s for ($)210, but unfortunately guesses an incorrect R. Andrew then guesses an incorrect P. Ross then lights up 2 F’s for ($)280, then 1 L for ($)210, but then despite his pleas that he was saying “Aah”, he guesses an incorrect R. Tempany then lights up 1 K for ($)165. The puzzle now looks like this
T _ / B _
L _ T / _ F F
T H _ / H _ _ K
PHRASE
Tempany knows that it is “TO BE LET OFF THE HOOK”, securing another $785 to her score, plus she gets the stereo system for her home viewer. At the end of ROUND 2, the scores are as follows.
Ross: ($)880 (not secured)
Tempany: ($)1.840 + STEREO (secured)
Andrew: ($)0
ROUND 3
TOP DOLLAR in this round is ($)2000 and the category is a PERSON.
_ _ _ _ _ /
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ /
PERSON
Andrew proceeds to “finally” get on the board by lighting up 2 R’s for ($)465, then lights up 1 L for ($)540, the FINAL SPIN bell then proceeds to ring, meaning that the next spin will be Rob’s. However, first Andrew proceeds to light up 1 Y for ($)580. Rob then makes every letter worth ($)200. Andrew then guesses a G, but guesses incorrectly with “GARRY MANSFIELD” . Ross then guesses an M, but passes. Tempany then guesses an N, but has no idea (after making a funny quip). Andrew then guesses a C. The puzzle board now looks like this
G _ R R Y /
M C _ _ N _ L _ /
PERSON
He knows that it is‘GARRY MCDONALD ‘, an Australian television and comedy personality. The home viewers win the score of their respective celebrity in cash, plus the home viewer who was partnered with the winner receives the Wheel of Fortune Electronic Game from Croner, and Tiger Electronics. At the end of the game the scores are.
Ross: ($)1080
Tempany: ($)2,040 + STEREO
Andrew: ($)1,985
Ross and Andrew’s home viewers’ get consolation prizes in the form of a Mini Compact Camera, by “Yashica from Tasco Sales”, plus all the celebrities receive a Ladies or Gents Watch from “Tissot”
BONUS ROUND
The BONUS ROUND puzzle is an OCCUPATION.
_ _ _ _ _ /
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ /
OCCUPATION
Tempany spins the Golden Wheel for her home viewer, and it lands on CLEANERS (Cleaning Appliances, Wet Dry Vaccum, a High Pressure Cleaner, Made in Germany, price not given, from K’A’RCHER)
In a very rare occasion, the 3 most popular letters are revealed (R,S and E). The puzzle now looks like this:
S _ _ _ E /
_ _ _ _ _ E R /
OCCUPATION
T, M and A give her the following
S T A _ E /
M A _ A _ E R /
OCCUPATION
She immediately knows that it is a “STAGE MANAGER” solving it just as the clock starts counting down. She wins $5,526 worth of cash and prizes for her home viewer. All the celebrities gather on the catwalk and wave goodbye.
This was from the era of Rob Elliott and Kerrie Friend. This was until mid-July 1997, when Adriana Xenides would return for roughly 2 years, until July 1999, when she left the show permanently, due to her illness. This was also shortly after the controversial decision to move the show to Sydney, axing John Burgess in the process. You can also some of Rob’s habits developing here, like playfully mocking celebrities on special shows. This would be toned down quite a bit on regular shows. It was from the era of the diagonal line backdrops. As with my $100,000 Champion Challenge, I got the first bit of the intro from my friend who works at Channel 7. I got part of Round 2, by doing a bit of subtracting from Ross and Tempany's scores, plus I noticed that at the end of the round, that Tempany had the BONUS wedge as well
