_ _ E / D _ T E
Janel is able to SAVE THE DATE to score first among this Thursday trio…
Janel Pilate: photographer and videographer during the day who likes to spend her spare time with children and teens in the community (they call her Coach J) at the South Side Help Center and is obsessed with the color green (she’s wearing that color all the way to the socks) because it resonates with her aura (she feels like she has a green aura; she loves nurturing and growing things and money) from Chicago, IL
Ricky Ostry: member of a ton of different bands (he plays in a clown-themed LCD Soundsystem cover band called LSD Clownsystem; the members and crowd both dress like clowns, and they had a show recently where they had a wheel with all of their songs on it (the crowd spun the wheel, and they played those songs), but he also plays in a live karaoke band, an ABBA cover band, and a couple brass bands) from New Orleans, LA
Theresa Chapman: retired (she had a pool installed in the first 30 days, so she hangs out by her pool, plays her iHeart app music, and she’s living the dream; she likes all genres of music, but recently has been listening to what they call the new country, like Morgan Wallen) with a 3-year-old grandson Beckett (he loves the color yellow) from Taylors, SC

BTW, her nametag now reads “Coach J” (her nickname was given by two teenagers that she works with back home, Amaya and Marie). She didn’t bring anyone, but she lands on AMERICA’S. A column of letters to start…

She picks a bad time to go with DMCA like Reginald from last night…

She gets the bottom word but flubs the top with GRANOLA, BANANA, and FRUIT, so she doesn’t eat this QUINOA BOWL for $45K.
Postgame Chat: It’s a perfect time to Zen out and meditate, so Ryan does some meditation. He’s not great at this, though, so he asks Vanna to coach him. Ryan says he needs a mantra and then asks if Vanna thinks they have a blue aura instead of green like Janel. He continues talking even after the credits finish. And Janel doesn’t even join them on stage.
MY RATING: 6 (D+)
Andy will be back with you tomorrow.
