Amber remembers the show giving away a HOT-AIR BALLOON RIDE on Tuesday.
The last three travelers this week are…
Amber Van Sluis: San Juan Capistrano, CA; married to Ray for 17 years with three kids; loves cooking "anything and everything" with her family ("they're not picky") and trying new recipes
Rhonda Thomas: Baltimore, MD; works in acquisition services for a federal agency in D.C.; has done cardio to hip-hop music for two years to stay fit
Jesse Worstell: Los Angeles, CA; former touring musician who opened for Bon Jovi; enjoys playing guitar and composing, had some of his nine guitars stolen but got new ones; told Betty White he fell in love with her at age five, hasn't washed the kiss on the cheek she gave him
Pat tells Jesse it's impossible to know Betty White without loving her, then asks the people who stole his guitars to give them back.
