From the Blockbuster Desert Sky Pavilion in Phoenix, it's America's Game! This is Family Week!
Today's teams:
Alina & Dani (twin sisters): Alina is an ASU graduate and marketing executive from Phoenix. Dani has a communications career in Chicago, IL.
Bud & Rick (brothers): Bud is a warehouse supervisor with a major food distributor from Laveen. Rick is a property records supervisor with a major municipality.
Susan & Sandy (sisters): Susan is a real estate agent from Fairfax, VA. Sandy is a full-time stay-at-home mother.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Don't worry, because even with yesterday's Bonus Round win, the money will still keep growing. Let's look at the first puzzle!
Bud & Rick solve E.T. PHONE HOME.
You're gonna need more money if you want to play on Friday. $3,500 and Jackpot spaces to the rescue!
Alina & Dani solve DEBBIE REYNOLDS & CARRIE FISHER.
DING DING! DING DING!
They can't sneak in one more, because Pat now has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece.
Alina & Dani: R (x2) ($4,100)
Bud & Rick: S ($250)
Susan & Sandy: B ($250)
Alina & Dani: A (x2) ($4,100)
Bud & Rick: K ($500)
Bud gets BASKET OF FRUIT, but the first word is unclear (and incorrect regardless of what he said).
Susan & Sandy: I ($250)
Alina & Dani: D ($4,350)
Alina & Debi solve LAUNDRY BASKET OF FRUIT.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:

BONUS ROUND:
Alina & Dani are ready to win one more prize. We have a Winnebago, a minivan, a convertible, and the $25,000. They'll need a win for Friday!
Hoping for that win, Alina takes the H. Here's their puzzle:

It may depend on HCGA...
...or not.
They whisper to each other, and they try TOWNIES, but they do not solve TWINKIES...
...so no Winnebago for them. Alina & Dani are leaving with $14,950 in cash.
In the Old West...Vanna poses for Justin Boots. Pat says in the post-game that she did a great job with that, and he'd like a videotape of that.
