From the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh, it's America's game! Welcome to Family Week!
Today's teams:
Rita & Leah (mother/daughter): Rita is a member of the Teamsters and a 22-year employee of the United Mine Workers of America. Leah is a registered nurse who works on a orthopedic neurosurgical floor in a West Virginia hospital. Both are from New Salem, PA.
Rick & Ralph (brothers): Rick lives in L.A., is with the Machinist Union Local 2785, and works in aircraft maintenance. Ralph is from Hermitage, PA; he is a field service engineer for a major medical imaging equipment manufacturer.
Linda & Tim (mother/son): Linda is a 21-year member of the Allegheny Mountain Gas Workers Union. Tim is a 2nd-year psychology student at Fairmont State. Both are from Bridgeport, WV
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We might have some tough puzzles ahead, but each team can do better together. Let's see what this puzzle is like:
Rick & Ralph solve JAMIE LEE CURTIS & JANET LEIGH.
Perfection! Linda & Tim solve THERE AREN'T ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY for the lead!
But guess what? There's still enough time for another round, and of course we can put the $5,000 space on the Wheel!
DING DING! DING DING!
At least we had some time, but now Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $300 a piece.
Linda & Tim: L (DUD!)
Rita & Leah: G (x2) ($600)
Rick & Ralph: Y (x2) ($1,200)
Linda & Tim: C (DUD!)
Rita & Leah: P ($900)
Rick & Ralph: H (DUD!)
Linda & Tim: N ($300)
Rita & Leah: D (DUD!)
Rick & Ralph: F (DUD!)
Linda & Tim: M (x2) ($900)
Rita & Leah: B ($1,200)
Rita & Leah solve PIGGY & MEMORY BANK.
BONUS ROUND:
After discussing a strategy, Linda will pick the L. We have this puzzle for them:

Would those two agree that this is a good Wheel prize? We're adding a Delta Queen Steamboat cruise from New Orleans on the Mississippi River (labeled CRUISE) worth $7,200.
We put in a lot of work to make sure the $2,500 space and $10,000 prize are on the Wheel. Will you go the extra mile to score some extra money?

Tim immediately says CAVALIER, and Linda guesses WAIVER. They do not solve PAPERWORK, and although the buzzer sounded 1/2 a second too early, it didn't matter here.
Linda & Tim aren't able to take the truck, so they'll be leaving with an all-cash total of $16,250.
