01:06Clay Stevens from Houston, Texas.
01:08Welcome to Wheel of Fortune.
01:10Tell me about your life in Houston, Clay.
01:12Well, I'm a research assistant professor at the University of Texas Medical Center.
01:16I have a wife, Karen, who's back home with my son, Andrew.
01:20Daughter, Alexandra, who's here with me.
01:22And you're a coach.
01:23I'm a softball coach for the Bulldogs.
01:25All right, and is your daughter on the team?
01:26Sure is.
01:27But you show no favoritism.
01:29You're supposed to say, no, Pat.
01:31No, Pat.
01:32All right, good.
01:33Nice to have you here, Clay.
01:34Good luck to you.
01:35This is Bonnie Hendrickson.
01:36How are you?
01:37Fine.
01:38Tell me about your family, Bonnie.
01:39I'm married.
01:40My husband's in the audience.
01:41I have four children, two stepchildren, and three grandchildren.
01:44And you're an image consultant.
01:46Yes.
01:47What is that exactly?
01:48I do color analysis in makeup and clothing and that sort of thing.
01:52How's this color for me?
01:53Perfect.
01:54Oh, thank you very much.
01:55I feel a lot better.
01:56And you look lovely, too.
01:58Hi, Robin.

02:02That's right.
02:03But almost finished.
02:04Senior, graduating.
02:05Yeah, and then what will happen?
02:07I hope to go to optometry school in the fall.
02:09Good for you.
02:10Do you want to talk about the sorority or anything?
02:13I'm a member of Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority, founding sister.
02:16Hi.
02:18Hi, Robin.
02:19Hi.
02:20Okay, let's play our game.
02:21$1,000, top dollar value for this round.
02:24Try not to get bankrupt.
02:25If you do, you lose your cash but not your merchandise
02:27because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep.
02:29Here is our first puzzle.
02:30It's a phrase.
02:31And just before the show, we drew numbers to see who would start the game.
02:34Clay, it's going to be you.
02:35Good luck, everybody.
02:36Here we go.

03:07Can I have an S, please?
03:09Nope, no S.
03:10Clay.
