From Hollywood, It's America's game! This is our Christmas and Family Week!
Today's teams:
Peter & Renee (brother/sister): Peter works for a major telecommunications firm, while Renee is currently attending cosmetology school. Both are from Brooklyn, NY.
Jim & Jim (grandson/grandfather): Grandson Jim is a high school student, and grandpa Jim is a retired real estate appraiser. Both are from Florida.
Ava & Terry (mother/son): Ava is in her third year of pre-med studies at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and she's a full-time post office employee. Terry is on a football team and the Advisory Spirit Board. Both are from Maywood.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Jim & Jim solve INDELIBLE INK. That round is sure to leave a mark.
We'd be fine with much higher scores than that. The crew is more than happy to add a $3,500 space right now, but we're still in disagreement about the size of the $10,000 space.
We saw it coming with those first two rounds. It's important for Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $300 a piece. Peter & Renee will start this round.
Peter & Renee: N (DUD!)
Jim & Jim: T (x2) ($600)
Ava & Terry: S ($300)
Peter & Renee: L (x3) ($900)
Jim & Jim: M (DUD!)
Ava & Terry: C ($600)
Peter & Renee: H ($1,200)
Peter & Renee solve LOW-CHOLESTEROL DIET.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:

It's amazing that we don't leave any permanent marks by adding prizes to the Wheel. Speaking of prizes, here's a set of Fendi evening and athletic watches, one each for him and her (labeled WATCHES) worth $2,580.
Our staff won't have to worry about using red ink no matter how many times you hit the $2,500 space!

MEGAWORD | ||||||||||||||
Terry guesses COPACUTIC, pronouncing it two ways, but U is not the remaining vowel.
Peter & Renee solve COPACETIC for the house minimum. Happy Holidays! As an extra present, you can have $500 more if you use the word in a sentence.
Both of them are silent. Pat jokes that "copacetic" is a kind of pasta. But really, the word just means everything is okay, neat, groovy, keen, something like that. "Megaword!"

Ava will pick the second E, and Vanna's also hoping the hot streak continues!
