Kristin hopes to win ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES during this half-hour.
The last three shoppers of the week are…
Kristin Jones: Boston, MA; proud godmom to her best friend's daughter and brother's daughter (both toddlers); has lost 95 pounds over two years and hopes to lose more
Tegan Durishin: Lehighton, PA; new underwriter for an insurance company; enjoys playing tennis and golf, the latter being his new favorite sport after a few years; made a hole in one and won $10,000 at his first golf tournament, then started collecting golf balls at various courses
Rayki Thomas: Northern New Jersey; married to Robert with two daughters and a "perfect little" grandson; critiques the music her husband composes
When Tegan announced golf is his favorite sport, Vanna said, "Yes!" Then Pat says Tegan's luck regarding his hole in one "has evaded" him.
