A gal named Kiley pinpoints THE GATEWAY ARCH in St. Louis.
These contestants are on the hunt for some cold hard cash…
Kiley Solomon: Highlands Ranch, CO (previously lived in Cincinnati for six years); married to Tykey with a baby son (the reason they just moved to Colorado), met Tykey when they were camp counselors
Fonzie Carvajal: Los Angeles, CA; first-time foster dad to three young boys (and he would do it again); would correctly predict which letters contestants would choose when watching Wheel with his dad, tell his dad he's "psychic"
Christine Hoffman: North Wales, PA; married to Steve for 31 years with three grown kids (a daughter and two sons); her married middle son's in the Navy and her youngest son's stationed overseas in the Army; she shouts out her mother-in-law and mom, the latter whom encouraged her to audition for Wheel
Pat asks Fonzie to tell him what he's thinking, and his response? "I'm crazy." Pat can't believe it – he may really be "psychic!" And he thinks the friends of Christine's youngest son would be embarrassed that she referred to him as her "baby."

CHAT: Pat and Vanna have a lot in common: they like the same things, have the same blood type, "look great in pumps" (Pat's words), and love gumbo. And Pat almost forgot: a lack of memory.
