Rob could be a MASTER OF ILLUSION.
This week's final three beachgoers include a familiar face…
Rob Mrozinski: Las Vegas, NV (orig. from Brooklyn, moved to Nevada six months prior); composer for a nonprofit that provides prosthetic limbs to kids; wrote the disco song "Give It Up, Kid," a #1 hit in Italy in 1979; currently writing an idea for a theme song for Wheel
Kristin Deffler: Davie, FL; second-year entertainment law student; enjoys ultimate Frisbee, singing, acting
Heather Barber: Los Angeles, CA (orig. from Cincinnati); law student; enjoys University of Cincinnati Bearcats basketball; returning due to an unfair ruling on her episode in May 2003
Pat was so close on Rob's last name – he said "Mrozonski." Then he tells Kristin she may have a hit record one day. As for Heather, he implies that she got impaled by the wheel on her first episode.

(Pat added SQUEALING to the list of missolves before opening the envelope.) He wasn't SQUEAKING BY with this puzzle to win $25,000, so out he goes with $19,150.
CHAT: We hear an update from Carol Wright, who won $28,250 (all cash) alongside soap star Lynn Herring during SoapCity Week in April 2001. Before appearing on her episode, she chose to give all her winnings to others. She bought her parents a new truck, purchased a car for her niece, and donated the rest of her earnings to an organization with whom she worked, the Special Olympics.
Back at the studio, Pat concludes his streak of misnaming this week's theme with "Shake & Bake Week." Vanna has to remind him that it's "Sand & Sea Week."
