Contestant Blake made it to the bonus round and picked the category “phrase.”

He got all of the letters in the first word, which spelled out “That’s.”

However, the second word only had four letters solved with four blanks.

Blake had less than two seconds left.

BUCKET LIST

Maggie, 29, then asked Blake what it was like to play with his parents there.

He said it was fantastic and opened up about battling cancer.

Blake said that he has been fighting it for the past two years and playing on Wheel has always been on his bucket list.

“In recovery. And this is just part of life. It’s fantastic that they could be here,” he said.

“As you go through chemo, you have a lot of time resting, recuperating, things like that and you’re like, ‘Well, what’s on my bucket list?’”

“And for sure this was on it. Just getting on the show and playing, growing up watching it,” he said.
