Kelly has A GLIMMER OF HOPE she will do well.
And so do her opponents…
Kelly Dutton: Nashville, TN (orig. from Knoxville, but has lived in Nashville most of her life); communications manager by day, singer in a popular costumed '80s/'90s cover band on the weekends (she performs lots of Whitney Houston's music); engaged to Stephen (they're getting married this summer), has a little dog named Oliver
Rhonda Brown: Upland, CA; retired court reporter, returning to school and pursuing her AA in paralegal studies; her parents will celebrate their 63rd wedding anniversary this year; has two sisters, one's married (to Rhonda's "favorite" brother-in-law") and the other has a daughter (Rhonda's niece)
Wayne Griffin: Chino Hills, CA; sales rep; married to Terri, will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary this year; has a grown daughter and son; shouts out his mom, dad, and mother-in-law; has played drums in a jazz band in the L.A. area for three decades
Pat notes that Rhonda's parents' marriage has lasted longer than Wheel has been on their air. Then he calls Wayne's hobby "groovy" because he likes to "sound hip."

…doesn't provide much besides the obvious, and after Kelly starts HOME COOKING IN THE OVEN, she comes awfully close with HOME BAKING IN THE OVEN. Pat says a C would've given her some CAKE BAKING IN THE OVEN and the MINI COOPER. Final score: $15,500.
Winners Circle: Scott Kolbrenner (skolbre ), who won a whopping $145,000 on March 18, 2021 (including a trip to Puerto Rico and $100,000 in the Bonus Round) then gave all his earnings away, shares his story. He went on Wheel to have fun, but he told his wife he would donate anything he won to two charities he's volunteered with…
When he won big, Scott knew he made a huge impact (it did make headlines, after all) and amplified the missions of these organizations.
CHAT: After Pat calls Scott and Vanna "terrific," Vanna mentions that her favorite part of baking a cake is eating the raw dough. Pat fears she'll singe her hair after putting her head in the oven because it's so hot. But as we go to commercial break, he realizes Vanna eats dough before putting it in the oven. Oops.
