After Treva corrects Pat's pronunciation of her name, she admits she's TOTALLY LAID-BACK. (Pat said TREE-vuh.)
After Pat calls Treva "pretty sharp" for her quick thinking, we learn that's her last name!
Treva Sharpe: Winston-Salem, NC; independent beauty consultant who doesn't work when Wheel airs (7-7:30 PM); has a child and a toddler granddaughter; shouts out her Wheel-watching parents, nieces and nephews, and friends she considers family; reveals she's single
Darcy Dugal: San Diego, CA; has a son, stepdaughter, and two grandkids via the latter; enjoys sailing in San Diego Bay, was the runner-up (or "first-place loser") in the Lady Skipper; returning due to an unfair ruling on her episode in October 2021
Chris Johnson: Parkland, FL; married to "black belt in shopping" Judy for 42 years; has two daughters, a son, and two grandkids; shouts out his friends at the University of Notre Dame and the men at Dillon Hall
Pat: "You just open the doors, you just never know what's gonna happen."

After Pat calls Treva "pretty sharp" for her quick thinking, we learn that's her last name!
Treva Sharpe: Winston-Salem, NC; independent beauty consultant who doesn't work when Wheel airs (7-7:30 PM); has a child and a toddler granddaughter; shouts out her Wheel-watching parents, nieces and nephews, and friends she considers family; reveals she's single
Darcy Dugal: San Diego, CA; has a son, stepdaughter, and two grandkids via the latter; enjoys sailing in San Diego Bay, was the runner-up (or "first-place loser") in the Lady Skipper; returning due to an unfair ruling on her episode in October 2021
Chris Johnson: Parkland, FL; married to "black belt in shopping" Judy for 42 years; has two daughters, a son, and two grandkids; shouts out his friends at the University of Notre Dame and the men at Dillon Hall
- When Pat reads that Treva is single, she asks, "What are you trying to say?" And after Pat assures her he's "not advertising here," she tells us, "Well, just in case, I am single."
- Darcy says she has to "be first at something," and Pat tells her she won't "finish any lower than third here tonight."
- Chris has to win big tonight or "we gotta keep [Judy] away from Rodeo Drive." At the end of his introduction, he pulls out a piece of paper, but Pat tells him to put it back.
Pat: "You just open the doors, you just never know what's gonna happen."
