This was truly a once in a lifetime experience! I could not believe I was selected! As soon as I found out, I obsessively played the Wheel of Fortune game on the app every day until the show. It turns out, however, that all that was useless. The minute I stepped in front of the Wheel at rehearsal, I forgot my name, the alphabet, and all the words in the English language!

What you don't realize when watching the show is that the contestants spend all day together. It's a shared experience only a few of us are lucky enough to experience. We became incredibly close and cheered each other on every step of the way. Not only that, but Pat Sajak has a magical gift of making everyone feel comfortable the instant he says your name. There is so much love and support in that studio that you can't help but feel like its home.

My biggest fear going into this experience was that I would be the contestant who has all the letters in front of them, except for one, and I would still get the phrase wrong. I imagine all the people at home yelling the answer at their screens. And my worst fear became a reality... Did I get it right? Watch on November 21st and find out!
