From the Las Vegas Hilton, it's America's game! Time for some family fun!
Today's pairs:
Gladys & Keisha (mother/daughter): Gladys is a professional boxing manager hoping to manage a champion soon. Keisha is a full-time student at UNLV studying elementary education and hoping to be a Grade 3 teacher.
Michelle & Julie (sisters): Michelle is a sales assistant in the investment field at a bank. Julie is a co-owner of a CPA firm. Both are visiting from North Carolina.
Zak & Meredith (brother/sister): Both are studying in UNLV. Zak is a majoring in communications and minoring in film, and he is also a mobile DJ. Meredith is full-time, majoring in communications with an emphasis on advertising.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Can they find a way to communicate with the Wheel itself so that things go according to plan?
Michelle & Julie solve THE OAK RIDGE BOYS and take the surprise...a trip to Disney World and stay at the village Hilton worth $8,990!
It's time to bring out the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces! It's Vegas, so take chances and possibly take the lead!
Michelle & Julie solve THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK TO THE FUTURE.
We can squeeze in another round...
DING DING! DING DING!
...but we still don't have much time, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece. The red team begins.
Gladys & Keisha: S (DUD!)
Michelle & Julie: N (x2) ($500)
Zak & Meredith: T ($250)
Gladys & Keisha: L (x3) ($750)
Michelle & Julie: G ($750)
Zak & Meredith: R (DUD!)
Gladys & Keisha: M (DUD!)
Michelle & Julie: B ($1,000)
Zak & Meredith: F (x2) ($750)
Zak & Meredith guess FOOTBALL & BOWLING FAN.
Gladys & Keisha: H (DUD!)
Michelle & Julie: A (x2) ($1,000)
Zak & Meredith: C ($1,000)
Zak & Meredith spoil the sweep and solve FOOTBALL & CEILING FAN.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:
BCDA gets them started, at least.

Michelle & Julie solve I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
Pat mentions that he's no longer walking up to the contestants during teams week, as a few years ago, he was almost broken by some overly enthusiastic cousins.

$4,400 |
Here's a nice idea for a prize. We add a pair of Croton his-and-her stainless steel watches (labeled WATCHES) worth $4,350.
I highly recommend going for the $2,500 space and maybe even the $10,000 prize!

Trying to fill in the middle, they do not solve BUFFET. Somewhat ironic, given where the road show is located right now.
Michelle & Julie are unable to claim the Buick Riviera, so they finish this game with $16,140 in cash and trip.
Pat and Vanna joke about Groundhog Day, and Pat wonders if the groundhog will see a shadow on Vanna's neck.
