Natasha, we hope you're ready to SHOP TILL YOU DROP. Pat said she solved this puzzle "like a woman with experience."
The final three travelers this week include…
Natasha Jackson: Jacksonville, FL; insurance defense attorney; has two kids; buys popcorn from the movie theater, then eats it while watching movies at home
Dawn Cadarian: Colorado Springs, CO; married to Chris for 24 years with four (mostly grown kids); traveled to 45 states in three months with her mom, twin sister, baby brother, and trucker dad when she was five years old; hasn't been to any other states
Nathan Harrington: Houston, TX; leadership consultant; lives with his partner Akash and their dog, has three nieces and four nephews; fluent in English and Spanish, dabbles in Italian and Portuguese, just started learning Hindi
Apparently, Natasha's popcorn activity is common, but she didn't bring any to the studio. And since Dawn's dad was away a lot, her mom gave him an ultimatum: "Get another job or we're coming with you!"

Nathan: "And while we're at it, let's do the O."
Pat: "You wild and crazy guy. Is that it, or you wanna do more?"
Nathan: "Yeah, give me the U."

Since Natasha paused between the last two words, Pat asked her to repeat her answer, so she does so slowly and then speedily.
CHAT: The hosts think all 15 of this week's contestants were fun. But Vanna has no clue how many (theme) weeks the show has existed.
