Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Bruce Close
Liz Mulligan
Daniel Assaf (returning with $2,460 in prizes)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750.
Daniel's scoreboard inexplicably shut off after the W call. It was corrected by the end of the round.
Bruce solves NOT A RED CENT.
Would he be interested in any of a choice of prizes? It will be a jewellery collection, a selection of men's care product, or a board games package.
It will be the men's care.
Here's a Melbourne Cup Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is MEDIA PUZZLE.
Don't let it be an omen for Daniel, but there are two Mystery Wedges. Anyone could flip over either the BANKRUPT, or an 8-day Los Angeles holiday.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is upgraded to 1,500.
Daniel guesses MUSIC STAGE LIGHTS DANCE FLOOR.
Bruce solves MUSIC STROBE LIGHTS DANCE FLOOR. He's a bit too far from Daniel, but he could catch up a bit by answering where we are.
An awesome performance with an answer of night club.
Time for a little pat on the back in the form of a vacuum cleaner, some men's country clothing, or an air purifier.
Bruce reaches for the clothing.
We begin our next round:
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Daniel can breathe easy now. Rob will give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 230.
Bruce: B
Bruce solves AUSTRALIAN BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
More for him with a fine china pottery collection, a handyman's workshop, or a Picasso print collection.
He now picks the workshop.
The top-dollar is now 2,500.
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 2,500! Bruce will start:
Bruce: T
Liz: N (DUD!)
Daniel: S (DUD!)
Bruce: C (x2) (Lucky C!)
Sorry Daniel, but Bruce solves CREDIT OFFICER FOR THE SWEEP!
It will never end for him. Pick a curtain and blind package, several movie rentals, or a dishwasher.
He finishes with the dishwasher.
Liz could not overcome this, and will receive (along with Daniel) a Tosca trolley case and Parker Pens as a consolation prize. All contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune board game.
Daniel almost had it, but he still leaves with $2,460 in prizes.
BONUS ROUND:
A good score, and maybe easier access to the prizes! It could be...
Complete Bushnell optics package ($4,300)
Trip to Queensland and stay at Sea World Nara Resort ($3,387)
Renault Clio ($22,500)
...if you're spot on, an extra $14,500 in cash too!
With 9,690, Bruce is in pretty good shape with six consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Can he make it 5 for 5 with this puzzle?
He'd better get it with TRNLCD, and E:
He solves TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE at the last second COMPLETING THE SWEEP! He finishes the game with $8,006 in prizes!
