Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Jimmy Easy
Bruce Close (returning with $8,006 in prizes...again.)
Robin Leach (from Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750.
Getting back on track, Bruce reads what's on the board.
With that out of the way again, he can pick a pasta package, a PC sound system, or Disney videos.
He rolls to the sound system.
Here's a Melbourne Cup Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is MIGHT AND POWER.
Your once chance awaits. If you land on a Mystery Wedge, you could find a BANKRUPT, or you could find an 8-day Los Angeles holiday.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is upgraded to 1,500.
(Sophie will reveal the apostrophe...soon enough)
Sophie also forgets to reveal the second T.
Robin solves TO KEEP ONE'S HEAD ABOVE WATER.
Add to the wealth with a jewellery package, a hedge trimmer, or a sunglasses package.
Robin picks the jewellery.
We begin our next round:
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
We have a trend. As before, Rob will give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 500.
Jimmy: S (Repeat)
Bruce: X
Robin: M (DUD!)
Jimmy: D
Jimmy jumps the gun on the blanks. He tries to start again, but it's too late.
Bruce: G (DUD!)
Robin: P
Robin solves ? DRIER ? SPRAY ? EXTENSIONS. Jimmy might have given it away, and all she has to do is say it.
...which she obviously does with hair.
And she's the one to claim a kitchen package, a barbecue, or a bagless vacuum.
She grabs the kitchen package.
The top-dollar is now 2,500.
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 280. Red strikes again.
Jimmy: S
Bruce: R (x2)
Robin: T
Jimmy: P (DUD!)
Bruce: N
Robin: L (DUD!)
Jimmy: D (DUD!)
Bruce: H
Robin: D (Repeat)
Jimmy: M (DUD!)
Bruce: W (DUD!)
Robin: Y (DUD!)
Jimmy: K (DUD!)
Bruce: B
Bruce solves BUSH REGENERATION.
He defends his championship and will now pick a bedding package, a coffee machine, or an air heating/cooling package.
Added to the collection is a coffee maker.
A painful one for Jimmy. He and Robin take Minolta zoom camera and Parker Pens as consolation prizes. All contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune board game.
BONUS ROUND:
Middle ground now! This time he gets another chance at the Renault Clio worth $22,500!
A little higher, to a jackpot of $14,700 in cash!
We add 3,360 to Bruce's previous 4,500 for 7,860, giving him five consonants and a "vual". The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Trip to Vanuatu and stay at a waterfront bungalow ($7,160)
Bruce knows the drill:
He now picks TRNLC, and A:
He hilariously guesses TO BAKE THE DICE.
Unfortunately, he does not solve TO PASS THE BUCK. At least he's now up to $9,685 in prizes.
