Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune! Welcome to our historic 5000th episode!
Our contestants to help us celebrate:
Chris (returning champion)
Kylie...sounds like she enjoys her driving!
David: Studying English literature
We've got to start with a Flip-Up though for control of the Wheel:
EVENT:
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Go!
_ O _ D E N
_ N _ I V E _ S _ R _
Chris solves GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750.
But who cares about that, as we have some other wedges for the special. We've added two $5,000 wedges. Call a correct letter to add 5,000 to your score, but you must solve the same puzzle to keep the cash.
We begin Round 1:
FICTIONAL CHARACTER:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
L _ _ _ N E S S
_ _ N S T E R
Perfection! Chris solves LOCH NESS MONSTER. Though he missed the lucky M.
Tough choice whether to spin or solve. Will it be tough to decide between a three-volume encyclopaedia or a glassware collection?
Chris picks the encyclopedia.
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
GEOGRAPHICAL:
J E _ O L _ _
C _ V E _
The answer is JENOLAN CAVES.
It's time for a Prize Puzzle. Which contestant will get the bonus?
TITLE:
_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Go!
_ O _ _
I _ P _ _ V E _ _ N _
Chris solves HOME IMPROVEMENT for a mitre saw. Coincidence?
Some mysteries that you think should be pretty simple, but aren't. We have two Mystery Wedges. Do you know which one has a BANKRUPT? The other has a trip to the Cook Island and stay at Rarotongan Beach Resort worth $6,279.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is upgraded to 1,500.
And we've also added a third $5,000 wedge! Can you handle Round 2?
PHRASE:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
T _ W E A R T H E
P A _ T S
Kylie solves TO WEAR THE PANTS to keep the $5,000! She also gets the Surprise: a leather lounge suite worth $5,197.
Oh, and she has to pick a water viewboard or a luggage package.
Kylie just points at the viewboard.
We begin Round 3:
CLUE:

_ _ _ _ T _ _ _ _
_ E _ _ E _ _ _ _ _
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
We're running overtime, so Larry will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 430.
Chris: R (DUD!)
(Free Spin used)
Chris: S (DUD!)
Kylie: M (DUD!)
David: L (x2)
Chris: C
T H E
C _ _ _ T _ L _ _
_ E _ _ E _ L _ _ _
Chris solves THE CAPITAL OF NEW ZEALAND for 430. He missed the lucky Z, but should be able to answer the clue for 200 more...
...he can. It's Wellington.
But for solving, he was guaranteed a choice between a window furnishing package or a 51 cm LCD TV.
And he'll take the LCD TV.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
PERSON:
O Z Z _ O _ _ O R N _
The answer is OZZY OSBORNE.
Another Flip-Up for our trio:
TITLE:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ ' _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Go!
L _ _ _ _ H O ' _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Chris quickly solves LOOK WHO'S TALKING.
The top-dollar is now 2,500 for Round 4, but we've added a $5,000 on top of that! It's up to Larry though...
PHRASE:
_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
And he fails to get there. Consonants are only worth 770. Chris begins:
Chris: T (x2)
Kylie: S (DUD!)
David: R
Chris: B (DUD!)
Kylie: H (DUD!)
David: C (x2)
Chris: N (x2)
Kylie: W (DUD!)
David: P
Chris: L
T _ _ _
_ C C _ R _ _ N _
T _ P L _ N
Chris solves TO GO ACCORDING TO PLAN for 2,310. Too bad that for this puzzle, he missed the lucky D.
Defeated, but now he will now decide between a washing machine or a car navigation system.
Chris finishes with the washing machine.
Too bad David couldn't grab a piece. He and Chris each receive a pair of water sport watches as a consolation prize.
Chris leaves with $11,572.
BONUS ROUND:
As if Kylie needs more...but we can give her more! Possibly:
Forty Winks bedroom furniture suite ($4,000)
Sanyo Z4 widescreen home theatre projector ($3,999)
Mitsubishi ES Lancer ($19,990)
Thanks to 9,035 from just one puzzle, Kylie can have six consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Trip to Vanuatu and stay at Iririki Island Resort ($4,195)
She still has to solve one more puzzle, but before we look at that, there's a special and delicious 5000th show cake!
Now to the puzzle:
PHRASE:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Our winner picks TRSHNW, and E, and look what she's done!
W _ N N E R S _ R E
_ R _ N N E R S
She easily solves WINNERS ARE GRINNERS! How about a slice of cake to celebrate this win too?
