A Wheel of Fortune<\/em><\/a> contestant took home $65,650 after solving the Bonus Round puzzle with lightning speed. Host Ryan Seacrest<\/a> was shocked at how fast she got it.<\/p>\n

Delinda Rood, from Rosemount, Minnesota, played against Justin Zamora, from Palo Alto, California, and Shateria Smith, from Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Tuesday, November 4. Rood is a self-proclaimed ambivert, which is a combination of an introvert and an extrovert.<\/p>\n

None of the three game show<\/a> contestants solved the first toss-up before the full thing was revealed to be \u201cMy Game Face.\u201d Rood solved the second toss-up, \u201cPractical Joker,\u201d for $2,000.<\/p>\n

Zamora, a man who proposed to his now-fianc\u00e9e after a seven-hour hike, solved \u201cCandy Girl You Are My World\u201d for $12,549. He also won a Norway vacation after landing on the wedge.<\/p>\n

Smith, an author and entrepreneur, obtained the One Million Dollar Wedge when she solved \u201cSummer & Boot Camp.\u201d She put $1,900 in her bank. Smith solved most of the next puzzle, until she guessed a wrong letter. Rood swooped in and solved \u201cSpoil Yourself At The Spa\u201d with only a few letters left. She won a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona, giving her a total of $10,950.<\/p>\n

Rood solved two of the three triple toss-ups, while Smith solved the last one. Rood secured her place in the Bonus Round by solving the last puzzle \u2014 \u201cA Tough Nut To Crack.\u201d She ended the game with $20,650. Zamora ended with $12,549. Smith went home with $3,900.<\/p>\n

Rood chose \u201cAround The House\u201d for her Bonus Round category. She brought her daughter, Molly, and her husband, Mark, with her.<\/p>\n

After Wheel of Fortune<\/em> gave her \u201cR,S,T,L,N, and E,\u201d she chose \u201cM,V,K, and A\u201d to round out her puzzle. It then looked like \u201c_ARM\u00a0 _ _ _LT.\u201d<\/p>\n

As soon as the timer counted down, Rood said, \u201cFor my mother-in-law, \u2018Warm Quilt.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d a shocked Ryan Seacrest said. \u201cDid you know it? Did you know it?\u201d<\/p>\n

He revealed the envelope to have $45,000 in it, giving her a total of $65,650. \u201cLooks like you knew it! Congratulations!\u201d Seacrest said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou didn\u2019t even have to guess out loud. You knew it right there with those letters, right?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew it!\u201d Rood nodded.<\/p>\n
