Woodstock Native Appearing On 'Wheel Of Fortune' Friday

WOODSTOCK, GA — Caitlin Tubergen, from Woodstock, will be a contestant on "Wheel of Fortune" at 7 p.m. on Friday on WXIA. Tubergen is a lawyer for a non-profit and currently lives in Southern California. She is married to her husband of four years, Chris, who played on "Wheel of Fortune" last year and the marital rivalry is on.

“I’m hoping to have better luck than he did,” Caitlin said.

When Tubergen isn’t watching "Wheel of Fortune" with her husband, she enjoys cooking, hiking, and cheering on the Chicago Cubs. She applied to be a contestant at WheelofFortune.com with a video submission and participated in a virtual audition.

“I was surprised and impressed with how quickly the Wheel of Fortune team was able to adapt the process to accommodate virtual auditions,” Caitlin said.

She hopes to win enough cash winnings to buy their first home or take a fun trip.

Caitlin will be spinning the wheel and solving puzzles to win once-in-a-lifetime vacations and cash prizes as part of “Ultimate Adventures” week.

Wheel of Fortune fans can submit applications online for a chance to be invited to a virtual audition. There, potential contestants can show off their puzzle-solving skills and potentially be selected to appear as a contestant on the show from the comfort of their own homes. If selected to be on the show, everyone goes home with a minimum of $1,000.
