This is the 22nd-Anniversary State Challenge, on Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!

We welcome three contestants from Queensland for Heat 2, and each contestant plays for their own home viewer!

Somebody could also win a new Renault Clio Expression!

Home viewers can also share from a total of $150,000 in cash just for watching!

Today's contestants:
Ebony Collins
Bruce Croll
Jenny Sander

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750, and we begin Round 1:

Think you understand the Mystery wedges? If so, you could safely tell me which one has a BANKRUPT, and which has a 6-day Singapore holiday...?

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is upgraded to 1,500 for Round 2:

Round 2

	1,380	4,900

FILL IN THE BLANK

Jenny solves TIGER ? GREAT WHITE ? HAMMERHEAD ? without flipping. It turns out she would have gotten the holiday if she did, but she's not that crazy.

She could still fill in the blank...

And shark is correct.

Winding things down, we have Pocketmail composers for her, and $1,000 cash for her partner.

PHRASE

Bruce guesses TO PUT YOUR FRONT FOOT FORWARD.

The consolation prizes are a Doro cordless phone and Parker Pens. All contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune board game.

5-night Whitsunday holiday ($5,602)
Renault Clio Expression ($22,500)

Let's add $5,000 more for her partner too!

Liebherr electronic wine cellar ($4,299)

She finishes with this puzzle:
