The X did it for Courtney, as she quickly pinpoints MEXICO CITY, MEXICO.
Our final California travelers of the week are…
Courtney Wilkins: Los Angeles; does events for a college in Southern California; likes joining grocery store clubs (memberships) and buying amusement park passes
Calvin Lee: La Palma; married to Jackie with a toddler daughter and newborn son; has done 60-70 escape rooms with his wife in the past couple of years; named after the titular character in Calvin & Hobbes because his dad was a big comics fan
Angie Brenner: San Diego; graduate student, writer, and creative writing/composition professor; married to Andrew (they've been together for four years); her mom's a big fan of Wheel
Pat jokes that he doesn't like joining grocery store clubs because he "can't make the meetings." And Courtney knows the clubs' secret handshakes.

DMCO… is of no use.
But… after guessing THE GANEL, THE FINAL, and THE FINAL BEATER, Calvin literally beats THE FINAL BUZZER with a second to spare (he almost said another THE FINAL guess afterwads) for the CX-5 ($36,170)! Impressive. Final score: $49,739.
It seems like Calvin left out THE when giving out the answer and Steve still gave it to him - oops.
Jorge Fernández and Paloma López, the hosts of the Spanish edition of Wheel, La Ruleta de la Suerte, introduce us to their show, which is in its 14th season.
CHAT: Vanna says the Spanish edition "is like a party," and when Pat considers the partying, drinking, and dancing, he compares the American edition to a séance. Fun fact from Pat: on La Ruleta, when a contestant solves a SONG TITLE puzzle, the band plays the song. Pat decides to bring a band to Wheel, starting with his harmonica-playing cousin. Afterwards, Pat thanks to our friends from around the world for joining this week. As we go to commercial break, when Vanna asks if he wants to dance, he declines.
Goodbye from Jorge and Paloma!
