The first prize was a fortnight for 2 in Los Angeles. The show went as follows: (don't forget the Aussie accent) Call number 1 Jim. Hi this Jim at QFM what' your name and what's your word? Caller. This is Bob from the Bush and my word is gaan, spelt g.a.a.n. Jim. Thanks Bob, my assistants are just checking and they are telling [me that the word does not appear in the Oxford dictionary so for 2 weeks in LA please put your word into a sentence. Bob from the Bush. Gaan fk yourself!! Jim immediately breaks the call and puts out the following message "Ladies and gents, this is a family show and we would appreciate that any future contestants refrain from using such language " 45 minutes, and many unsuccessful contestants later_..
