JaDarrel's THROWING A THEME PARTY.
This week's penultimate trio includes…
JaDarrel Belser: Whitter, CA; tries to go to the movies every week; recently got a Boba Fett tattoo on his left ankle that reads, "I'm a simple man making his way through the galaxy" for his birthday
Kimberly LaFlamme: Surprise, AZ; just celebrated her one-year wedding anniversary, has a toddler son; comes from a tall family, is taller than her husband, claims she's his "Wookiee" since Chewbacca's her favorite Star Wars character
Dana Joel (male, last name unknown): Land O' Lakes, WI; grew up in a small farming community in small-town Illinois but left for adventure; compares himself to Luke Skywalker, who grew up on a moisture farm "in the middle of nowhere"
Kimberly's dressed like R2D2, and she whistles his sound effect.

Before Dana Joel declines to flip the MYSTERY wedge, he quotes Admiral Ackbar: "It's a trap!" And after Kimberly flips the good wedge, her excitement makes Pat think she doesn't play much poker. Once Dana Joel hits BANKRUPT, Pat claims, "The galaxy's exploding here."

CHAT: Pat, Vanna, Maggie, and Jim introduce Hasbro Pulse's gift to Wheel: personalized collector-grade Star Wars action figures from their Selfie Series line. People can reimagine themselves as action figures donning their favorite characters' costumes. For instance, Pat's action figure is a masked "intergalactic game show host."
One more thing: Pat claims Star Wars is too big for one week, so we've got one more episode on Monday.
