01:05San Clemente, California.
01:06Kindergarten teacher.
01:07Talk about that a bit.
01:08Yes.
01:09I am a kindergarten teacher at the amazing Community Roots Academy.
01:12I love my school so much.
01:14This is a second career for me.
01:16I've only been teaching one year.
01:18I just finished my first year.
01:20Wow.
01:21Of kindergarten.
01:22Yeah.
01:23Only you had some enthusiasm.
01:25I know, I know.
01:26I love it so much.
01:27I can't wait to go back.
01:28Good luck to you.
01:29Chante, how are you doing?
01:30I'm fine.
01:31How are you?
01:32I'm well, thank you.
01:33Chante Robinson, Chicago, all right?
01:34Yes.
01:35Let's hear about your teaching career.
01:37I am an eighth grade reading and writing teacher.
01:40I teach at Dixon Elementary.
01:42We call it the City of Dixon.
01:45I am entering into my 16th year of teaching.
01:49Wow.
01:50So I definitely enjoy it.
01:52I've taught grades second through eighth, but eighth is definitely my favorite.
01:56You're a step team coach, right?
01:58Yeah.
01:59You've done real well with that.
02:00I do do really well.
02:01So actually, Pat, I was really reluctant, and each year I don't want to start it up,
02:05but each year I go in with enthusiasm.
02:08I get my girls together, and we win first place all the time.
02:11Good to have you here.
02:12Hi, Richard.
02:13Hey, Pat.
02:14This is Richard Nolan from Las Vegas.
02:16Talk about teaching with you.
02:17Yes, Pat.
02:18I'm a special education teacher.
02:19I teach sixth, seventh, and eighth grade special education children.
02:23I primarily dealt in the past with socially, emotionally challenged children,
02:27which challenges me every day.
02:29Yeah.
02:30Well, I don't know about the gameplay.
02:31I'm sure it'll be great, but we've never had a happier group on here.
02:34I'm happy to say.
02:35That's great.
02:36So get ready.

14:27Elaine.
14:28Practical thinking.
14:30No, everybody else now.
14:32Okay, Shantae.
14:33Critical thinking.
14:35There you go, good to see some money under your name.
14:39It's all right, maybe you get some more.
14:41Let's do number three.
14:44Elaine.
14:45Wishful thinking.
14:46Yeah, that's it, well everybody got one.
14:49So on a relative basis, scores remain the same.
14:52What are you doing is the category for this next round.
14:55And Elaine, you got that last toss-up.
15:00You're controlling the wheel, give it a final spin.
15:02She has that million dollar wedge sitting in front of her.

15:10What are you doing?
15:11$1,500 for every constant that we find.

15:57Yeah, two Ss.
16:03Learning a lesson.
16:05Yeah.
16:07Ah, she came on, she came on strong.
16:10Good for you.
16:11Well, I'm glad that worked out for you.
16:13$4,500 that round.
16:14Pretty good night as it turned out.
16:15$6,500.
16:17Keep stepping, good to have you here.
16:18Thank you very much.
16:22Well, shut the front Dumbledore.
16:25$19,000, Richard.
16:27Nice job.
16:30But second place, because guess who's going to the bonus
16:33round?
16:34Elaine with $25,550.
16:36Are you going alone or do you have anything with you?
16:38Like a wedge?
16:39Oh, I see, I get it.
16:41I have this lovely thing.
16:44She solves, she models, she teaches, she does everything.
16:48Hey, we hope you get it.
16:49Let's pick a category.
16:50It's an important decision here.
16:52Phrase, things, what are you doing?
16:55What are you doing?
16:57Okay, right now she's modeling a million dollar wedge.
17:01What do you got?
17:02Oh, you still have that.
17:03She just kept it with her the whole time.
17:05You have over $25,000.
17:07What we've done is we've taken the $100,000 out of here.
17:09We've replaced it with the million.
17:11There's still lots of good cash out there.
17:13There's a car, but we'd love to see you get that million.
17:15I will take that and you will spin.
17:17Okay.
17:27And what do we got there?
17:31You take the E in America and you will come with me.
17:33Okay.
17:34And you will stop right over there.
17:35Yep.
17:37Now you chose what are you doing as your category.
17:40R, S, T, L, M, E.
17:41We'll get you those letters first.
17:54All right, now we need three more consonants
17:56and one more vowel.
17:58Okay.
18:03G.
18:05D.
18:07C.
18:09And a vowel.
18:10A.
18:11All right, let's see how those choices play out for you.
18:12Again, audience, very quiet as we go through this.
18:17Not much help.
18:18Oh boy.
18:19Yeah.
18:19Okay.
18:20Well, what are you doing as a category?
18:22They use letter board.
18:23Maybe that can help you.
18:24You got 10 seconds to try to talk it out.
18:26Good luck.
18:27Babbling like a,
18:31like a,
18:34hackling like a,
18:35mackling,
18:37magging, haggling, no.
18:38You're doing all those things.
18:39No.
18:40But you weren't howling.
18:41Oh, howling!
18:42Like a wolf.
18:43Yeah.
18:45I'm sorry.
18:45That's okay.
18:46We'll see what this is and we hope it's, wow.
18:48You know, here's the thing.
18:51Whatever's in here is not important.
18:53What is important is she,
18:53wait, I gotta show it.
18:55Man, do you believe that?
18:57Oh!
18:59I hate when this happens because now she's thinking,
19:02I didn't really hurt you on $25,550.
19:06You were terrific.
19:07That was a tough puzzle.
19:08I'm sorry that didn't work out for you,
19:09but you had a great night.
19:12I'll be right back.
19:15Puzzle about what to get your favorite wheel watcher?
19:17Go to shopwheeloffortune.com.
19:20Dag nabbit.
19:21Watch your mouth, young lady.
19:23What did you say?
19:25Is that what you used to say?
19:26Was that your idea of cussing when you were a kid?
19:27Yes.
19:27But that's very nice.
19:28And we all feel a little dag nabbit-y.
19:30That didn't work out, I'm so sorry.
19:32But, you know, again, shouldn't detract
19:34from a great night.
19:35She had over $25,000 and the season's just getting started
19:37and we're gonna do that lots of times, aren't we?
19:39Yes, we are.
19:40And we hope with even better results.
19:41Yes.
19:42Anyway, we'll see you next time.
19:43Bye-bye.
