I’ll bet Channel Seven would’ve been grateful their studio floor didn’t get the same treatment from Don as the field at Lang Park (Suncorp Stadium) got from him in 1988.
I wonder if the other returning past champions in these specials included Belinda O'Bryan who was on for 10 nights in February/March 2000 and Donovan Newton from August 1996, who was *the* biggest winner in the history of the show at the time. They also had a returning champions special during Burgo's run in February 1995 (with returning champions dating back as far as at least 1987), which means that February 1995-July 12th, 1996 was the only era in which no one could've possibly returned for a "returning champions" special
Belinda O’Bryan did come back for the Battle Of The Champions she played in Heat 1 against Lisa and Don in which Don won and Donovan Newton was not in the Battle Of The Champions that aired between Monday September 11th 2000 and September 14th 2000 before the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

Steve, do you have any other episodes of Wheel of Fortune Hosted By Rob Elliott 2000 (Battle of the Champions) if you do can you like upload it the first three nights before the grand final. thanks.
I remember seeing Sandi on Wheel Of Fortune. It was hosted by Tony Barber then and Rob took over as host the following year. She won 8 episodes in September 1996. What's the minimum number of games you have to win in order to become a champion?
No minimum per sé, the former champions with the highest dollar value in prizes won between 1996 and 2000 would have been the ones chosen. The following year there were 2 contestants appeared who broke the record within a couple of months of each other. At the time of this episode, the record was $63,000 in prizes in August 1996.
No offence, but Sandi's not a true champion. She may have won most episodes that she was on, but she didn't solve this end puzzle and I'm pretty sure she only solved 1 of the 8 end puzzles when she was on for the first time in 1996.
Doesn’t matter, it was the total value of the prizes won that mattered. The record at the time was $63,000 set by Donovan Newton in August 1996. Obviously Sandi’s $37,000 was among the highest total winnings of that 1996-2000 era for her to be invited back.
I watched most of the episodes she was on. Did she win the car in any of those episodes? And do you have to win the car to become a champion or not necessarily? How do you know she won $37,000? If she did solve the final puzzle in this episode, I would’ve been happy for her, especially if she spun up the car!
