Australia's favourite game, Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Amanda Robinson
Jeff Brown
Paul Binstadt (returning champion)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is 750.
Jeff solves STREET SMART ALEC.
Was it a smart choice to solve now? At least he's guaranteed a choice of a "beauty case" pack, a leaf blower, or a kids' swing set.
He is guaranteed the leaf blower.
Here's a Comedian Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is BENNY HILL.
Not necessarily a matter of smarts here, except if you'd risk a lot already. On one, there hides a BANKRUPT. On the other hides a 7-night Thailand holiday.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is upgraded to 1,500.
Jeff and Paul landed on the same Mystery Wedge.
Paul solves TIGHTROPE WALKER to keep the holiday!
No need to worry about a very difficult exercise here. Just pick some kids' accessories, a zoom camera, or a toy package.
Paul selects the camera.
We begin our next round:
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
If only we could stretch beyond 30 minutes. We can't, so Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 375.
Amanda: L (DUD!)
Jeff: G
Jeff solves TO HAVE A STRONG STOMACH.
Now to take it easy on the body. Pick a jewellery package, a sunglasses package, or a blinds package.
Jeff picks the blinds package.
Here's another Comedian Puzzler for the home audience. Can you solve it?
The answer is JOHN CLEESE.
The top-dollar is now 2,500.
Rob will give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth 220, and Amanda can try it again:
Amanda: S (DUD!)
Jeff: T (DUD!)
Paul: N (x2)
Amanda: R (And she tries to call G.)
Jeff: F (DUD!)
Paul: M (DUD!)
Amanda: G (DUD!)
Jeff: L
Paul: C
Only vowels left!
Paul solves OCEAN LINER.
Before he heads off with his plane ticket, he must pick a prize. It will be a food warming buffet, some stock market software, or an air conditioner.
His prize will be the air conditioner.
Consolation prizes are a Furi Knives carving set and Parker Pens. All contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune board game.
Paul leaves with $16,152 in prizes!
BONUS ROUND:
Amanda still needs a prize! Let's make it one here including...
Sunshine Coast holiday ($3,692)
Renault Clio ($22,500)
...we'll bump it to $5,500 in cash!
With 2,420, Amanda is stuck with three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...
Sunshine Coast holiday
Try to get through this puzzle:
Her prize may depend on RSJ, and E:
Rob is very curious about the J call.
It didn't work. She does not solve THE TOOLS OF THE TRADE, so she'll have to wait until the next game for a prize.
