…and she realizes her mistake as Krishna's SETTING PERSONAL GOALS. Pat tells Sandy her mistake is understandable.
The last contestants of 2022 are…
Krishna Smith: Los Angeles, CA; likes organizing things (events, offices, garages, etc.); took her dream New Year's Eve trip to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, then visited her friend and fed giraffes in Kenya
Sterlin Barkley: Atlanta, GA; married to Adrine for 16 years with three sons (one teenager); enjoys music (songwriting, producing, and New Edition) because he grew up in the church; once hung out with New Edition, band member Ronnie DeVoe visited him when he and Adrine moved to Atlanta
Sandy Legler: hometown not mentioned; has two grown daughters living with her (one of them in the audience); part of the "Skating Mamas," a group of women ages 50+ who roller skate
Sandy has her skates in her trunk, not her daughters, Pat.

…is helpful, but Sandy only guesses ORIGINAL a few times. She doesn't solve ORIGINAL FOUNDER, so she won't ring in the new year with a MERCEDES BENZ. However, her final total isn't too shabby: $20,650.
CHAT: Pat and Vanna are holding champagne glasses in their hands, and Pat thinks his glass smells "even better than the bottle they had the last commercial." Regarding Vanna's dress, she claims she's "all dressed up [with] nowhere to go," and Pat thinks she looks like "a cross between the Statue of Liberty and Elton John" (which she takes as a compliment) and he resembles "the average bank teller." After they toast the New Year and Pat thanks us home viewers for our loyalty, he's stunned by white, gold, and light yellow balloons dropping and "Auld Lang Syne" playing in the background. Finally, they wish us a happy New Year and Vanna adds, "Cheers!" (During the credit roll, the song plays while the hosts chat with Sandy amongst the sea of balloons.)
Well, with that said, have a gentle New Year!
