Australia - March 30, 2001 Recap

Airdate: March 30, 2001

Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Simeon Booth
Jenny Wheaton
Norma Casey (returning champion)

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


Norma just reads what's on the board.

The prizes keep on coming. There's a sewing machine, a jewellery collection, or a car care package.

Norma would like the sewing machine.


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

The answer is CROWDED HOUSE.

Today's BONUS is a Chief cookware package.

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is upgraded to 1,500.

Okay, Jenny. Now you can spin.


Norma solves SCHOOL ? COW ? DINNER ?. Will the answer ring to her for a bonus 200?

She gets the correct answer of bell.

Now it's a digital camera, a ladie's shoe package, or a brush cutter.

Norma wants to look good in the shoes.


We begin the next round:


RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!

We're running overtime, so Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth...BONUS.

Whoever gets the first correct letter picks it up but must solve the puzzle. Otherwise, consonants are worth 180.
