Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Tim (Returning champion)
Liz: Proud grandmother
Tony: Hairdresser (making the situation more hilarious...)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 500, and we'll begin Round 1 after this simple question:
Question: Which particular singer made famous the song Jailhouse Rock?
Tony: Elvis Presley (Correct!)
Tony tried to use his Free Spin the first time, but it was too late as Tim had already spun. When he did use it, he tried to buy a vowel after spinning.
Liz solves TO RISE TO THE OCCASION.
She does not get a medal, but she earns a music CD package.
Today's BONUS is Icon Eyewear sunglasses. The token will go on 390. Worth it for Adriana's (French?) accent imitation.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is upgraded to 1,000!
Yet again, Tony tried to buy a vowel after spinning, but before the P.
Before calling the W, as Tim had just missed 1,000, the top-dollar fare sounds before cutting off abruptly.
Tim reads what's on the board.
Taking it to the limit nets Tim a portable word processor.
We begin Round 3:
350 is not added to Liz's total for the correct S because of complicated issues.
Tim solves LET'S GET PHYSICAL.
For this round, we award him a high pressure cleaner.
The hunger for consonants ate up all our time, so Tony will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 350. Liz begins:
Liz: S (DUD!)
Tony: D
Amazingly, Tony quickly solves DEAN LUKIN.
He's wasting no time. He's won a Gold Coast trip.
BONUS ROUND:
Never give up hope, champ! Now you could possibly win a Hyundai Lantra Sportswagon GL worth $23,990!
We add 3,315 to his previous 10,300 for 13,615, so Tim can have eight consonants and a vowel. He picks an envelope, and inside we find...
Trip to Queensland and stay at Matson hotel and resort ($7,575)
This puzzle is ready for anything:
He could get a win with TRSNLHCD, and O:
He instantly solves CHEATS NEVER PROSPER to claim the trip! He is now a six-day champion and will be back on Monday!
