From the Philadelphia Convention Hall and Civic Center, it's America's game! The bell rings for My Favorite Teacher Week to end...

Today's finalists:
Beth & Virginia (returning with over $35,000 in prizes)
Julie & Janet (returning with a total of $38,024)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here comes a puzzle!
