Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Phil Panucci
Bruce Close (returning with $9,685 in prizes)
Melissa Osbourne
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750.
Phil solves STEVE IRWIN.
Nothing to fear. Just pick a kitchen scale, some women's country clothing, or a pair of cordless phones.
Phil will approach the phones.
Here's a Melbourne Cup Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is DORIEMUS.
What's underneath these Mystery Wedges can only be discovered at the last possible moment. It could be a BANKRUPT, but it could be an 8-day Los Angeles holiday.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is upgraded to 1,500.
Bruce solves ROBBIE WILLIAMS ESCAPOLOGY to keep the holiday!
First big prize in a while. Now, a little sprinkle from some baby products, some car care products, or some garden lighting.
Let's add the car care to the load.
We begin our next round:
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
Part of it was probably the Mystery Wedge. Anyway, Rob will give the Wheel a spin, and consonants are worth 385.
Phil: B
Phil guesses ? DONOR ? PRESSURE ? BOND. His cheering section is not impressed.
Bruce: K
Only vowels left!
Bruce solves ? DONOR ? PRESSURE ? BANK. We have the time, so can he find the link?
Easily with an answer of blood.
To ease some of the tension, consider a jewellery package, a tool package, or a software package.
Bruce picks the tool package.
The top-dollar is now 2,500.
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 295, and Phil can try again.

Phil solves JURY DUTY. The totals have spoken, and Bruce has been defeated.
Phil gets the final pick of house awnings, a treadmill, or a vacuum package.
He takes the awnings.
Melissa couldn't win anything though. She and Bruce get Kenwood stainless steel breakfast appliances and Parker Pens as a consolation prize. All contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune board game.
Bruce leaves with $16,599 in prizes.

Trip to Queensland and stay at Sea World Nara Resort ($3,387)
Test him with this final puzzle!
He tests TSNB, and E:
