From the Waikoloa Village in Hawaii, it's America's game! This is Family Week!
Today's teams:
Derek & Frances (son/mother): Derek is an attorney expectant father from Kailua-Kona. Frances just recently retired, a mother of Derek and two daughters, and now a grandmother.
Manuel & Mercy (son/mother): Manuel is "single, shiftless, clueless, and having a great time in Hawaii". Mercy is a mother of four, including Manuel. Both are from Los Angeles, CA.
Glendy & Karina (sisters): They are freelance writers. Glendy is also a drama teacher, and she speaks English, Spanish, and French. Karina is a homemaker, student, and mother of one daughter. Both are from Los Angeles, CA.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Manuel & Mercy solve CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.
After Pat has had time to breathe, we add a $5,000 space to the Wheel.
Derek & Frances solve A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING STORE. They keep on slamming the rail!
Lucky for the others, we have time for another round.
DING DING! DING DING!
But time is running out, so Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece. The reds will start.
Derek & Frances: S (x2) ($1,000)
Manuel & Mercy: T (DUD!)
Glendy & Karina: D ($500)
Derek & Frances: R (DUD!)
Manuel & Mercy: N (x2) ($1,000)
Manuel guesses CHINESE NOODLES...and that is correct!
BONUS ROUND:

BONUS ROUND:
Derek & Frances had a good game, and now they're in Bonus Land! We've got a Cadillac, a cruise, a GMC Jimmy, and the $25,000.
We've also got some envelopes, and Frances takes the H for "honey". We've got this puzzle for them:

Derek instantly shouts LIMERICK, which is just a bit short. They do not solve PAPERBACK...
...and we close the envelope with $25,000 in it. Derek & Frances finish with $10,750, though they could be back on Friday.
During the post-game, Pat thinks people both miss February's cool crisp clean wind in the mid-west and east...yeah, right. Of course, Pat and Vanna are currently in Hawaii, where they don't have to think about it.
Vanna took a helicopter tour of Hawaii, including a flight above Parker Ranch where they have cowboys. Yes, Hawaii has cowboys. Other sights include the north coast rocks "carved by the wind and the surf".
