00:05Yeah!
00:06There you go.
00:06Michelle Hudson, Crawford,
00:07Ploogerville, Texas.
00:09Yes.
00:09Now, baking.
00:11You love baking, right?
00:12So my mother and I started a baking group on Facebook
00:14called the Pound Cake Chicks a couple of years ago.
00:17And unfortunately, she passed in April.
00:19But we keep the tradition of baking
00:22and all the joy and the love that she brought to the page
00:24going.
00:25Wow, that's amazing.
00:26And everybody loves a pound cake.
00:27Everybody loves a pound cake.
00:28I just want to shout out George Houston,
00:30who watches back in Atlanta.
00:31He makes a pound cake for me every Christmas
00:33and brings it over.
00:35And after three or four days of it,
00:36then I put it in my cereal and get it soggy.
00:38It makes the bowl so good and sweet.
00:40Thank you, George.
00:42Great to meet you.
00:43Thanks for being here.
00:44Rudy Dinglas from Floston, Maryland,
00:46is an ice cream lover.
00:49That's right, Ryan.
00:49I love ice cream.
00:50I'll drive for ice cream.
00:52So last summer, I actually finished
00:53the Maryland Ice Cream Trail,
00:55and I drove 1,200 miles to 14 creameries across Maryland.
00:58Now, what do you do after you have 14 different servings
01:01of ice cream and drive like that?
01:03Do you nap or do you?
01:04Take a long nap.
01:05Yeah?
01:05Do you have a favorite flavor?
01:07Of course.
01:07You're from Georgia, so you'll love this.
01:09I had a really delicious peach ice cream last summer.
01:12Peach flavor is really nice.
01:13That's right.
01:13I like peanut butter, cookie dough, chocolate mint chip,
01:16all of those.
01:16What do you like?
01:17I like them all.
01:18They're all so good.
01:19How do you pick?
01:20How do you choose?
01:21That's right.
01:21It depends on the mood a little bit, right?
01:22Exactly.
01:23And Rudy, you're a rapper?
01:24You like to rap?
01:25I do, but not that kind of rapper.
01:27I'm a gift rapper.
01:29So...
01:30I was ready for him to hit the ones and twos
01:32and break it down for us.
01:34Well, every month I wrap birthday gifts
01:36for a local organization,
01:36and also every Christmas I bring my family and friends
01:39to help volunteer with me
01:40wrapping Christmas gifts for those kids.
01:42And does it take patience to rap?
01:44I don't rap well.
01:45It does.
01:45I mean, if you're given a basketball
01:47or a football or a skateboard,
01:48that's the challenge right there,
01:49and I love to take a challenge.
01:51I should have met you last holiday season.
01:53Good luck, Rudy.
01:53Nice to have you.
01:54Thank you, Ryan.
01:55Chad Hedrick from Lexington, Kentucky,
01:57is a country music lover.
01:58Just a little bit.
01:59Tell me about it.
01:59Yeah.
02:00Grow up listening to 90s country, especially.
02:03I've gone to, just in the past year,
02:05more than 20 concerts across Kentucky.
02:07Go to Nashville, CMA Fest.
02:09We've got a group of friends.
02:11We will go wherever.
02:13If there's a good act that we want to see,
02:14we will travel to see them.
02:16And Wheel of Fortune, a staple for you growing up?
02:18Oh, yeah.
02:18When you grew up in eastern Kentucky, in Ashland,
02:21especially, where the home of Chuck Woolery,
02:23the original host,
02:23it was always a special thing to see signs with his name.
02:26And, you know, you watch the local news
02:28and then Wheel of Fortune.
02:29So it's always been on in the house.
02:31And to be here, it's incredible.
02:33Wheel of Fortune following your local news.
02:35Yes.
02:36All right.
02:36Grab that device one more time, Chad.

10:10I'd like to solve the puzzle.
10:12Okay.
10:13A must-visit destination.
10:15That's it.
10:19I am super excited because I feel like this place has great ice cream along with a lot
10:24of great other things, and that is Croatia, Rudy.
10:26Whoa!
10:27It's the pearl of the Adriatic, Rudy.
10:30Get ready to fall in love with Dubrovnik, Croatia, where ancient stone walls surround a
10:36stunning old town on the edge of the sparkling Adriatic Sea.

11:03$7,905.
11:06Do they have ice cream in the sky?
11:08I think they have everything in the sky.
11:10Every time we roll that tape, Van and I are like, we want to go up there and have dinner
11:13in one of those sky trolleys like that, so please report back.
11:16Will do.
11:17$13,455.
11:19Rudy in the lead.
11:21And we've got the triple toss-up next.
11:23Be right back.
11:26We're having a good time.
11:28Welcome back.
11:29It is triple toss-up time.
11:30The same category for each of these toss-ups, and each one is worth $2,000.
11:34The category is, I'm puzzled.
11:37I'm puzzled.
11:38That's it.
11:39Got your devices, and here we go.
11:42Chad.
11:43Word search.
11:44Wow.
11:46I do a couple.
11:47My old man trait.
11:49Let's see how you can do a number two.
11:51Here it is.
11:57Rudy.
11:58No, everybody else.
12:00Chad.
12:01Word problem.
12:02Yeah, you are good at these.
12:04So now you get this one.
12:05It's not $6,000.
12:06It's going to be $10,000.
12:09No pressure here.
12:11You got this.
12:11Number three.
12:17Chad.
12:18That's a loss for worse.
12:20What pressure are you feeling there?
12:21I mean, come on.
12:22There you go.
12:23Good job.
12:24Yes.
12:25So that's $10,000.
12:27Right.
12:28That gets close.
12:30Oh, it's Rudy's ahead by $455.
12:32You got $13,000.
12:33She's got $13,455.
12:35Next puzzle, the category.
12:37Where are we?
12:40Chad, Chad, Chad.
12:42You can't take me anywhere.
12:43You can't.
12:43So we're going to have to spin it all over again
12:45and never see that.
12:46All right.
12:57Now, Chad, the idea is to get ways with the numbers.
12:59Oh.
13:01Try it one more time.
13:02I get it now.
13:03Try it one more time.
13:04All right, let's go.
13:05Come on.
13:16Vanna, cancel your dinner reservation.
13:18We are not going to get out tonight.
13:20All right, Chad, give it one more time.
13:23Let's go.
13:23Come on.
13:25Ladies and gentlemen, here are the stars of our show, Ryan Seacrest and Hannah White.
13:31$1,600, the category is a numbers game.
13:35Chad, hold on.
13:36Team.
13:36Yes, it's so nice here.
13:37Yes, there are four teams.
13:39Now, check this out.
13:40They're going to come in at $6,400.
13:42And you've got three seconds right now to make a lot of guess.
13:45Catch 22.
13:47Yeah, he got it.
13:47Let's grab our devices, give away some money, and then we'll chat a little bit, right?
13:51First toss up here, worth $1,000.
13:53The category is most likely to choose.
13:55I didn't even get through.
13:56I was trying to say it.
13:56So most likely to choose.
13:57You did it.
13:57We're on to the bonus round.
13:58I'll see you in a second.
14:00This guy is on fire.
14:01$1,000.
14:02Nice to meet you.
14:03Thanks for being here.

14:06$13,455 cash supplies during the trip.
14:08Thank you very much.
14:08All right, bye.
14:09I'd ask you how you did that, but you probably won't tell me.
14:13It's all that spinning.
14:14I have time to think.
14:15You did great.
14:16Yeah.
14:17$19,400.
14:18Let's take a look at your choices here for the bonus round.

14:25Let's do around the house.
14:26How fast is he going to solve the bonus round?
14:28Let's see.
14:30$400.
14:31Chad, you got some cheerleaders over there.
14:33Who's with you?
14:34Oh, I have no idea who they are.
14:35No?
14:35All right.
14:36No.
14:36That's my mom, Leslie, and Chad Hedrick's little sister, Holly.
14:40Ah.
14:41I heard the nickname's Dr. Holland, actually.
14:42All right.
14:43All right.
14:44Is that right?
14:45Holly.
14:45He just told me to say that in the break, so I have no idea what I am.
14:47Okay.
14:48That's my brother bonus point for the day.
14:50Great to have you both.
14:51He's doing all right, isn't he?
14:52Oh.
14:53Blanket, a puffy blanket.
14:55There it is.
14:55Oh.
14:56Yes.
14:59You all right?
15:01You're lying.
15:02I'm not lying.
15:03Read it.
15:04Puffy blanket.
15:06Can I?
15:07Yeah.
15:07Are we good?
15:08Yeah.
15:09Oh.
15:13You're lying.
15:17Chad, you're bringing green to the bluegrass state with $55,000.
15:26I don't know if you want me to read more numbers to you, but your grand total is $74,400.
15:33Amazing.
15:34Thank you so much.
15:35Now, why were you so surprised with yourself there?
15:37I had a moment of panic for a second.
15:40I was like, the words are not convenient.
15:42Panic looks good on you.
15:43It worked out just fine.
15:44I'm speechless, and that never happens.
15:45No.
15:46Never happens.
15:47Well, congratulations.
15:47Great to meet you both, too.
15:49Doctor.
16:04You read it, and then you still didn't believe it.
16:06I still don't believe it.
16:07You still don't.
16:08Where am I?
16:09It's true.
16:09I'm pinching you.
16:10You feel that?
16:10I feel it.
16:11I feel it.
16:12This is really happening.
16:13That's a lot of concert ticket money.
16:15You won!
