From the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, it's America's game! Welcome to Family Week!
Go!
Immediately after, Bill & Ken solve A BARGAIN HUNTER.
These three won't need to think about bargains after this!
Bill & Ken (brothers): Bill is older, and he's a father of four and grandfather from Ellensburg. Ken is a father of six and also a grandfather. They're also in business together.
Olympia & Simona (sisters): Olympia owns and operates an adult family home to care for the elderly. Simona runs it with her, and she goes to Green River Community College to study communications. Both are from Auburn (and originally from Romania).
Go!

Those mittens won't save them from a sudden chill if they can't quite hit the one-third $10,000 space.
Olympia & Simona solve IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY.
Bill & Ken solve MARTHA & LAKE WASHINGTON (or "Warshington" if you want) to jump back into the lead!

Olympia & Simona: N (DUD!)
