An excited Kellen must have gone to a PEP RALLY at his school. He's actually giddy because Pat got his name right, and he says some people are "uneducated."
This week's last batch of students hope to make the grade…
Kellen Franklin: Long Beach, CA; sophomore at Fisk University, aspiring law student and entertainment lawyer; his "watching buddy," his grandma, is in the audience; huge Beyoncé and gelato fan who has gone to two Beyoncé concerts, usually goes to the gelato section of the grocery store
Mia Depta: Crown Point, IN; sophomore at Purdue majoring in elementary education major, aspiring teacher since childhood; comes from a family of teacher; Taylor Swift fan who has attended two of her concerts, wants to win enough money to go to another one
David Szilagyi: Riverside, CA; senior at UC Riverside majoring in mechanical engineering, aspiring engineering professor; project lead of the Marine Energy Collegiate Competition (MECC) who builds turbines by the ocean; does lots of solo rock climbing
Pat loves Kellen. And his goal for this episode (winning "Beyoncé money") inspired Mia's.

So far (as Pat points out), Kellen's THE STAR OF THE SHOW. He thinks likewise of Pat, who says "that makes [him] the costar." Afterward, Pat calls Jim a star, and Jim admits he's a fan of Pat's.

Kellen flubs this puzzle with SOFTWARE ENGINEER, but quickly beats the buzzer with SOFTWARE DEVELOPER. He's as shocked as David is, and he hugs Pat.
Kellen: "Mama, I made it!"
Pat: "Mama, he made it!"
Pat mispronounces David's name – it's pronounced duh-VEED.
CUMULATIVE WINNINGS: $27,000

$100,000 BONUS ROUND
Pat's stunned Kellen never spun after Round 1, but he "let [his opponents] do the hard work" before he figured out the puzzles because he didn't want to hit BANKRUPT a second time. Well, he'll have to touch the Bonus Wheel.
After Kellen introduces us to his mom and grandma (who Pat says have "had their hands full"), his powerful spin (which Pat claims "made up for not spinning") lands him on the N in WIN.

…is a helpful combo, but GOING OUT AT NIGHT and ADDING UP AT NIGHT aren't the activities we're looking for. Pat tells Kellen he "[sleeps] too well," implying he isn't typically WAKING UP AT NIGHT. After Kellen says the envelope "better not be $100,000," he feels better after seeing he actually lost $40,000.
Pat: [hugs Kellen] "I love this man!"
Final score: $22,000.
CHAT: Every once in a while, Pat wakes up at night to check if the refrigerator light is on. Otherwise, he's "a pretty good sleeper." Vanna sleeps through the night, and Pat claims it's because the two are "so well-adjusted" and have "such clear consequences." Vanna isn't sure about that.
