Nicole and Megan quickly solve SISTER-IN-LAW. Wednesday's bios for Day 3 of "Family Week"...

Rita Pawlowicz & Amy Merello (mother/daughter): Rita the mom is from Los Angeles and originally from Chicago while her daughter is an architect from Bolingbrook, IL

Jackpot Round - EVENT
In the middle of the round, the Schippers light up a $500 H while on Jackpot, but can't make the solve. They then pick up the CONOCO gas card with two C's. After a lot of work, they promptly BANKRUPT to give up $5,300 cash and gas card. Rita and Amy pick up the Wild Card with a B, and then put up a $2,500 V. Instead of using their WC at that point, they go for the solve...

They're right with CATCHING A SOUVENIR FOUL BALL for $3,300.

Round 2 - FOOD AND DRINK (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Rita and Amy strike out right away with the T. Two spins later, the Ayala brothers pick up the $7,500 cruise with three R's. They also FP an A, but they then BANKRUPT to let $7,550 cash and cruise sail away. The Schippers BANKRUPT on the MDW's left side after putting up three P's for $2,100; that's their second such hit of the evening. The blue ladies get the same fate as everybody else, so goodbye $1,000 and WC. Back to the Ayala brothers...
