How cool!!! I am at work and can't watch, keep us posted on how she does!! I used to LOOOVE that show and always watch it with my grandma!

I'm sorry she didn't win the truck. You never know, she might win the whole package at the end.

She is a hard working farm wife from Drakesville, Iowa.
Any other Iowans out there ?? My mom didn't say how she did. I don't think Virginia was allowed to share until it aired today.

Wow, she actually had the patience to stand in line and get on the show?

When I lived in L.A., my mom BEGGED me to take her down to the show. There was no way in H-E-double hockey stick that I was going to go down to CBS Television City and wait that out with her. Those people wait in line for HOURS on end.

I didn't realize that is how you get on that show!! I always thought you apply and then you get picked that way to get in...

 

[DebbieJ]

I think you have to reserve tickets in advance. You also are more likely to get picked if you get yourself noticed somehow.

But the main thing it to just go down there and wait, and wait, and wait some more....

She has family in California (can't remember if its a son or daughter) They had a very large family.
Her dad died the day our oldest son was born and her mom was killed in a drunk driving accident with other family members the week my daughter was born.
Is Bob retiring? I haven't watched it in probably 20 years didn't actually know it was still on but I thought the lady mentioned they'd miss him and they all look l.ike they have tshirts on with his name on it.
