Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Alec Cormack
Belinda O'Brien (returning with $20,226 in prizes)
Vida Ethar
Rob pronounced Vida's name with an E instead of a long I sound, but Vida corrected him. A 50/50 chance, I guess.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 500.
The puzzle isn't quite centred properly on the board, is it?
Belinda solves PEOPLE TRAINS PLATFORMS. If she timed it right, she's getting a bonus 200.
And she has with an answer of railway station.
Not to worry about time here. At least not as much. Will she take some "Star Wars gear", some kitchen and bathroom scales, or an automatic camera?
She's picking the camera!
Here's a Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is THE MEANING OF LIFE.
Today's BONUS is a Zepter International fondue set. Rob is holding one of the recipes, by the way.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is upgraded to 1,000.
Perfection! Belinda solves DINNER TABLE TENNIS. Of course, the L had to be the lucky letter. Lame.
But she still won't let go of the Wheel, now she can choose from a GPS, a French dinnerware set, or a set of art prints.
She will appropriately enjoy the dinnerware.
We begin our next round:
Double perfection! Vida solves NATIONAL HEART FOUNDATION.
Belinda's heart might be beating rapidly by now. Vida gets to pick a cutlery set, a pair of ball pens, or a coffee package.
Vida will have the cutlery.
Here's another Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is BANDICOOT.
The top-dollar is now 2,000.
Belinda solves CAPPUCCINO MACHINE. Looks like we're all out.
Now we're out to pick a Coffs Harbour holiday, a front-load washing machine, or a ladies watch.
At the end, she takes the watch.
Sometimes it's not easy to keep control. Alec and Vida will each receive a Lygon pizza oven and Parker Pen as consolation prizes.
BONUS ROUND:
A better chance for a prize that Belinda could claim. Maybe...
Driclad above-ground pool ($5,425)
Cruise to Lizard Island ($5,540)
Proton Persona XLI ($20,390)
We add 6,770 to her previous 7,265 to give her 14,035, so Belinda can now have nine consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Compucon multimedia computer package ($3,999)
She will try to uncover it with RSTLNDPBC, and A:
That's it?! After all that, she could not solve TIME IS MONEY. Don't worry! Another chance tomorrow!
