Terresa's cheering section thinks she's an OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST.
She or one of her opponents could end this week on a high note…
Terresa Amidei: Indio, CA; attended North Pole High School in Alaska, moved from "one extreme to the another" and prefers the desert
Wilmot Grant, Jr.: Oxnard, CA; goes to cities to look for the biggest cheeseburger, enjoys all the condiments except ketchup
Patricia Daniel: Fairfax, VA; married to Corbett for 15 years with two daughters
When Pat tells Wilmot that people put ketchup on hot dogs, Wilmot says he can't "associate with" them – including Vanna. And as for Patricia's number of years she's been married, Pat claims he's been married to Lesly for the same number and "15 out of 30 is really not too bad. Hope she's not watching."

When Patricia hit a BANKRUPT, she said, "Well, well, well." And after Terresa bought an I, Pat told her, "You look like you're ready to snap."

It's DESTINATION RELAXATION for the excited Terresa – she makes the heart sign after learning she's headed to MEXICO (The Westin Cozumel, $7,200). After she solved the puzzle, she fanned herself. Pat: "If there was ever an inappropriate puzzle for anyone, that would be it."
After Jim plugs the trip, Pat fans Terresa with his card.

GHPO… is of no use. All Terresa can muster up is VOTE AND SMILE and a leisurely guess of FITE ONE BOOKS. Since she didn't know "CUTE AND FUZZY" was Pat's high school nickname, she loses the FORD. Final score: $38,400.
CHAT: Pat tells Vanna that "ketchup's OK, just not on certain things." By the way, a viewer from Hilton Head, SC named Stuart Silver noticed that when a letter's not in a puzzle, Pat says, "'fraid not." So he sent Pat a frayed knot. Pat thanks Stuart for helping with the chat.
