From the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh, it's America's game! We're about to end Family Week...
Today's teams:
Wally & Wendy (father/daughter): Wally is father of two and a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Wendy is a student at Rhode Island College and majoring in foreign language.
Dee Dee & Damita (sisters): Dee Dee is a single mother and a member of the Communication Workers of America. Damita is a mother and a member of the Service Employees International Union Local 535. Both are from Oakland.
Jerry & Mike (brothers): Jerry is a printer in Lexington and a father of two. Mike is a father/stepfather from Pittsburgh; he runs a Steel Worker union print shop, and he is part of the Human Union and the American Federation of Musicians.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, but again, this is the last night to reach the top. Do you want the money now, or do you try and wait for the good stuff?
Perfection! Wally & Wendy solve EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH.
Jerry & Mike quickly solve THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY.
Dee Dee & Damita solve PEANUT & BABY OIL.
That last puzzle couldn't slow us down! We still have time for another round.
DING DING! DING DING!
But we'll have to be quick. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece! Will the red team catch up?
Wally & Wendy: S (DUD!)
Dee Dee & Damita: T (x5!) ($25,000)
Jerry & Mike: N (x2) ($10,000)
Wally & Wendy: D ($5,000)
Dee Dee & Damita: O (x3) ($25,000)
Dee Dee says DON'T GIVE IT ANOTHER THOUGHT on the buzzer ...but pauses in the middle, and it isn't taken.
Jerry & Mike: K (DUD!)
Wally & Wendy: G (x2) ($15,000)
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:
