Pam's come to A FORK IN THE ROAD.


The last three contestants this week are…
Pam MacDonald: Burbank, CA; aerial performer/dance instructor (acrobat); married to Scott for 12 years (they've been together for 20) with two kids
Renee Fuentes: Ventura, CA; works in administration at CSU Channel Islands; married to Nick for seven years with a blended family of four kids; sings in women's barbershop quartets, recently joined a Sweet Adelines group
Jacob Gronski: Saginaw, MI; account manager who works remotely; movie buff; won a massage after winning a twerking contest in the Dominican Republic

Yes, you read that right. In fact, here are Pat's quips with this trio.

• He asked Pam if she got hurt on the job. She hasn't.
• He asked Renee the vocal ranges of her barbershop quarter, and she admitted she only knew hers.
• He assumed Jacob watches movies in the buff.

I can't. 😂

…give her two of a key consonant, but Renee doesn't say much besides THE. She'll have to FACE THE FACT that she lost $39,000 and will leave with $13,570.

CHAT: The hosts discuss FREE PLAY and its replacement, $850. Apparently, Pat never understood the former wedge.
