MEGAWORD | ||||||||||||||
Despite the lack of confidence, Renae solves BOMBASTIC. Now she is challenged to use it in a sentence for an extra $500.
Renae says "Being on Wheel of Fortune is a bombastic experience".
Some laughter, and Pat has to turn to "the giant gray area" in the show's rulebook; he asks Nancy Jones for a ruling. Nancy says "If she really feels that way!" causing Pat to slump over on the rail.
Since Renae gave a valid sentence, she is awarded the $500.
As for the meaning of the word? Pat says to go look it up.

She's silent. She does not solve GOLDIE HAWN...
...so now she fails to grab the trip to Perugia in Italy. But Renae's husband has been standing for so long, so Pat invites him onstage anyway. It's only fair since he has been waiting that long.
Renae leaves with a grand total of $28,000 in cash and prizes.
During the post-game, Pat explains the ruling for bombastic. He gives the examples "I feel bombastic" and "My car was bombastic", but something like "I just sat on my bombastic" is not acceptable. There are some standards.
