Vicki solves JENNIFER LOPEZ WAITING FOR TONIGHT and has earned £100 for her patience.

She has also earned a choice of a prize from her right. We choose to show off a dishwasher.

Vicki goes with the TV and video combo.


There will be a lot of cleanup required if you find the extra BANKRUPT, but you might find just what you wanted with the extra 1,000 space. Try to find the mystery prize too! Actually, we're just placing it on 400.

Hands on buzzers. Round 2 is ready:

Steve solves THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES.

He may now warm up to a prize. We try to direct him to a set of golf clubs.

He wants the food processing setup.


Can't get much better quality than this! There's a third 1,000 space, and we've doubled the points! Well, maybe you could get a little better, if you can snatch the £100 bonus from an extra puzzle. Round 3 has been set up:

Steve guesses TO COP IT ALL. Vicki solves TO CAP IT ALL.

She steals the thunder again, and can she steal another £100 from John?

She gets the second word wrong. The full answer is THE GRADUATE.

No extra money, but a prize is guaranteed. As for us, we can't guarantee, but we can try our best to give her a Hi-Fi system.

Vicki selects the fragrances.


Here's our next puzzle:

Steve solves WORDS FAIL ME for 3,600.

He might need to be careful at selecting his final prize. We could help out by pointing to a microwave/grill.

He'll be fine with the dishwasher.


At least Shareen finished with a few points, but sadly no prizes. Look at the bright side though, as all contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune souvenir watch.

Steve can come out on top if he solves this puzzle for the cash:
