Roman's CALLING GRANDMA.


Let's hope this trio ends this week on a high note…
Roman Luko: Las Vegas, NV; commercial pilot, aspiring flight instructor; retired 15-year Army veteran; engaged to Teresa with twin sons; claims raising twins is harder than his other jobs
Louise VanZandt: Moraga, CA; recruiter at a large tech company, helps connect people with their dream jobs; newlywed to Zandt, "fairly new mom" to a baby daughter; enjoys traveling, building itineraries (including food)
Stacy Sheeran: Los Angeles, CA; 2nd-year Doctor of Physical Therapy at University of Southern California; has tap-danced for 18 years (since she was seven years old); didn't tell her parents this episode would air tonight

Pat also tap-danced at seven years old – and stopped at eight.

…is a great combo, and Stacy instantly escapes this BAMBOO GROVE to salvage this week and win the ESCAPE (worth $33,800)! Her parents would be proud of her final score: $60,150.

CHAT: Pat wonders if Stacy's parents would rather watch Hollywood Celebrity Gossip Grabbers than Wheel. Anyway, Stacy had a great night. Pat tells us to "keep eating the turkey."
