From the Blockbuster Desert Sky Pavilion in Phoenix, it's America's Game! Welcome to Family Week!
Today's teams:
Shanna & Thomas (daughter/father): Shanna recently moved to Yuma and works as a news reporter for a TV station. Thomas is a mechanical engineer from Salinas, CA.
Molly & Joan (sisters): Molly is a mother of three from Avilla, IN. Joan is a mother of four from nearby Auburn, IN.
Valerie & Faith (daughter/mother) (Surprise contestants!): Valerie is engaged and a mother of one from Phoenix. Faith is a mother of four, including Faith.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Nothing too surprising about that, though we still have a SURPRISE on the Wheel if you want it...
Valerie & Faith solve BEAMING WITH PRIDE.
Good time for a jaw-dropping round courtesy of the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces.
Shanna & Thomas solve JUMP FOR JOY DISHWASHING LIQUID to keep the watches.
It's a close game, and a close call for time. Pat will have to give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece! Team red will start.
Shanna & Thomas: S ($5,000)
Molly & Joan: T (DUD!)
Valerie & Faith: R (x2) ($10,000)
Shanna & Thomas: M (DUD!)
Molly & Joan: N (DUD!)
Valerie & Faith: E (x3) ($10,000)
Shanna & Thomas: F (x2) ($15,000)
Shanna & Thomas solve FREE REFILLS to take the win!

We watch a clip of an "interview" with Wheel staff, and Valerie and Faith were waiting to see if they could be contestants. Vanna surprises them!

Well, no Free Spin anymore, but the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces might still grab the attention of the team in the middle.

BONUS ROUND:
We really want to give away a bonus prize during this trip! Shanna & Thomas will play for a Winnebago, a car, a trip, or the $25,000.
As usual, the envelopes. Shanna picks the second E, and they'll try this puzzle:

They do guess BILLIARD, but they can't quite solve BILLBOARD...
...so we can't spread the word about a $25,000 win. Shanna & Thomas finish with $20,290 in cash and prizes, but that could be enough for Friday.
In the post-game, Pat comments that "the only fly in the ointment" during the trip is that they can't give away a bonus prize right now.
