We're back from a FANTASTIC New Orleans road trip, and it's time for "Family Week" (sponsored by Wendy's)! Pay close attention, Wheel Watchers -- we hope you have purchased at least one game piece with a puzzle solution on it from your local Wendy's restaurant. All you have to do is watch all this week and match your game piece solution with the Wendy's Promotional Puzzle. If it does, then you could win one of five Caribbean Cruises for four! Good luck!
Now, let's get on with the in-studio action...
