So far this week, we've had little winnings and no bonus round wins. Let's see if tonight's the turning point, as we begin Day 4 of "Wendy's Family Week".

Jackpot Round - FICTIONAL FAMILY
In the middle of the round, the Bungays pick up the MDW with an R. Their next spin nets them the DVDEmpire.com with three N's. After a great deal of work, they BANKRUPT to give up $3,050 cash and DVDs as well as that MDW. The Benoists put up a few letters...
