Carla's not sure, but she'll drink A GLASS OF LEMONADE after this game's over.
Let's meet her and her male competition…
Carla Rudy: Tampa, FL; physical therapist in the burn unit of a local Level I trauma center; married to Jay for over a year, he and her mom Libby are in the audience; enjoys boating and fishing, will go lobstering in the Florida Keys
Huy Thai: Oklahoma City, OK; anesthesia technician at "the best hospital in Oklahoma City"; married to Portia for a year; calls himself "a little crazy"
Bryan Freeman: Beaufort, SC (orig. from Olympia, WA); captain at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in Parris Island, helps recruit new Marines, received the Silver Star from the Gulf War; married to Angela for 11 years with two kids

Pat was nervous about his potential reaction to what was in the envelope.
CHAT: Pat finds it "strange" that the same envelope showed up three times in a row. Anyway, he's collected hair from Vanna's clothes for 19 years, and he's currently making a wig out of that hair that he'll sell on eBay (but Vanna doesn't believe that). Then he claims he'll add the hair he picked from Vanna's top to his collection. As we go to break, he taunts Vanna with the hair.
