From Universal Studios Florida, it's King Kong's game! And it's also America's Game.
Today's teams:
John & Debra (brother/sister): John is a father and an auctioneer by trade, living in Kissimmee. Debra is a mother of three who likes to do activities with her kids.
Tim & Nancy (son/mother): Tim just graduated from the Florida State University School of Theatre in Tallahassee. Nancy is a mother of three, and Tim's the youngest (he's also gonna win all Pat's money). Both are from Port Orange, though Tim will be moving to Chicago in a couple of days...to be "an unemployed actor".
Kim & Trisha (mother/daughter): Kim is a mother of seven, a grandmother of twelve, and a great grandmother of one, from San Diego. Trisha is the "baby daughter" who's also a mother, and she's a certified personal trainer and finance manager at a major car dealership.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, not bananas. And Pat needn't worry about getting peeled this time. Let's play!
Tim & Nancy solve SUNRISE. Will they rise to a $3,000 Puzzler?
They will! They quickly solve WAKE UP.
(Aired) Perfection! Kim & Trisha solve GRANDSON & GRANDDAUGHTER to get on the board.
This may tempt our auctioneer - we need to speed up the game. Pat will now give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $300 a piece. Back to the red podium.
John & Debra: R (x2) ($600)
Tim & Nancy: S ($300)
Kim & Trisha: T (DUD!)
John & Debra: K (DUD!)
Tim & Nancy: C ($300)
Tim guesses HELTER-SCELTER.
Kim & Trisha: L (DUD!)
John & Debra: K (Repeat)
Tim & Nancy: F (DUD!)
Kim & Trisha: N (DUD!)
John & Debra: D (DUD!)
Tim & Nancy: M (DUD!)
Kim & Trisha: P (x3) ($900)
Kim & Trisha solve POOPER-SCOOPER. "You should be ashamed of yourselves! Talkin' that way on national television..."
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:

Since John's an auctioneer, Pat asks him to rap like auctioneers do. He does just that, even calling for Vanna to turn a T now. Slow it down for Pat, though!

It's the slowest half hour of an auctioneer's life. John & Debra had fun, but they must settle with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Tim & Nancy held on, and they walk to Bonus Land for a nice prize! Said prize might be...
Pair of Dodge Neons (over $28,000)
Dodge Caravan (over $28,000)
10-day trip for four to Europe (over $26,000)
Dodge Durango (over $33,000)
"The cash" ($25,000)
For some reason, the middle E is not lit, and Pat thinks there are only four envelopes. All five were available last night.
It's time to scoop up an envelope! Tim takes the W, and they'll face this puzzle:

CDMA remain as popular as usual...
...but this puzzle doesn't like 'em.
They try MONSTER and BLISTER. They do not solve WHISPER...
...and the Caravan quietly rolls away. Tim & Nancy go home with $9,500 in cash.
