…is a decent combo. After whispering the GROWING MY trap midway through the countdown, Brooke beats the buzzer with the correct answer, PROVING MY POINT that he's a great contestant! His reward is the BMW, bringing his grand total to $87,240!
After Pat announces his final total, Brooke tells Vanna, "This is so surreal, absolutely surreal, that I'm three feet from you."
CHAT: Pat says that the irony of this week's theme is that he wears size 42-regular suits. And since Vanna's good with Roman numerals, he asks her what LXXVI means, and she correctly responds with 76.

Pat had a ball talking to these contestants.
- Zovi told him, "I'm good with letters, not math, OK?"
- Brooke remembered the number of years he's been married, so he's not in the doghouse. Then Pat asked, "Can we have the real players here?"
- When it came to his dad's retirement, Michael said the military "pretty much had to kick him out."
