Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Jeff Sloane
Prue Hennefin
Bruce Close (returning with $8,006 in prizes)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750.
Perfection! Jeff solves TED DANSON CHEERS.
Bruce may have some worthy competition, as Jeff quickly picks any of an Australasia care package, a leaf blower, or a water filter.
Jeff gets to the water filter first!
Here's a Melbourne Cup Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is ROGAN JOSH.
At this rate, you'd hope it's easy, but no. With two Mystery Wedges, someone will flip over a BANKRUPT, or they may flip over an 8-day Los Angeles holiday.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is upgraded to 1,500.
Prue tried to spin the Wheel twice instead of calling the S.
Prue solves ? SHOT ? BANG THEORY ? MOUTH. She can make her lead just a little bigger by finding the linking word.
She got it! The word is big.
She now gets some ladie's shoes, some tools, or some paints.
Pressured by her husband, she picks the tools.
We begin our next round:
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
A man named Rob will now give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 1,500!
Bruce: Y
Bruce says BRUCE AND JOHN WAYNE right on the buzzer, but it isn't taken. The audience can be heard booing, with one clearly yelling "Oh, come on!" to Rob.
Jeff: B
Jeff solves BRUCE AND JOHN WAYNE. Do I sense an applause machine?
As karma, he still lost the lead, but he picks a jewellery collection, a knife set, or a "fake fireplace".
Jeff picks the fireplace.
The top-dollar is now 2,500.
You-know-who will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 375. Jeff, start!
Jeff: D
Prue: R (DUD!)
Bruce: T
Jeff: N (x2) (Lucky N!)
Prue: S
Bruce: L
Jeff: G
Prue: H (DUD!)
Bruce: C (x2)
Jeff: R (Repeat)
Prue: P
Prue solves CLOSED CAPTIONING.
Pay attention to these prizes and pick a food warming buffer, an outdoor water feature, or a portable DVD player.
Prue looks at the water feature.
Consolation prizes are a Kenwood coffee maker and Parker Pens. All contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune board game.
BONUS ROUND:
Funny that we go from a clean sweep to this. Well, Bruce is back, and he could win...
Oneida crystal glassware and silver cutlery ($4,640)
Henry Griffitts golf set ($4,398)
Renault Clio ($22,500)
...he could also add the $14,600 in cash!
With 4,500, Bruce can pick four consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Another final puzzle for him:
This puzzle will face TSNB, and E:
He does not solve TO BE IN CAHOOTS. Well, well, well. Looks like he's still at $8,006 from earlier.
