From the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, it's America's game! Welcome to Family Week!
Today's teams:
Lisa & Matthew (brother & sister): Lisa works for a major retail corporation in the inventory department. Matthew is starting law school in the fall and works for the American Postal Worker's Union; he's also an aspiring figure skater.
Steve & Rebecca (brother & sister): Steve is a father of two. Rebecca is a secretary for a Machinists' Union and also belongs to the Office and Professional Employees' union.
Melissa & Michele (sisters): Melissa is a member of the UFCW. Michele manages a wholesale soup company.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. With contestant pairs, they could end up spending that money quickly. Try and hit it as often as possible in this round:
Steve & Rebecca solve MIKE & CHRIS WALLACE.
We couldn't bring Mike or Chris (or Marcia) into the studio, disappointing Pat. However, we can bring in a Lenox fine crystal and china package, union made in the USA (labeled CRYSTAL) worth $4,055.
Of course, we can also bring in the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces for this round:
Lisa & Matthew solve IT SUITS YOU TO A T-BONE STEAK.
DING DING! DING DING!
Things are going by a little too slow, so Pat will give the Wheel a final spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece.
Lisa & Matthew: Z (x2) ($500)
Lisa & Matthew solve JAZZ MUSICIANS.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:
The common CAMD in an uncommon order gives them...

...and as Pat almost forgets to reveal, they cannot claim the Explorer either. Steve & Rebecca currently stand at $5,000, but will they make it to Friday?
Pat and Vanna remember when they were at the Ohio State Fair only 15 years ago, somewhat close to when the nighttime show first went on the air.
Vanna also had a girl on July 1st, and she is named Giovanna.
