Tom reads what's on the board. He says "and" before the last word, and after confirmation, his solve is acceptable. What about that $500 bonus for filling in the blank?
He'll take it by filling in the word club.

Welcome to the club, guys. You're among those who watch Pat give the Wheel a Final Spin right away. Consonants are worth... $800 a piece. Tom starts.
They also join another club just for facing this category...

MEGAWORD |
Bob solves BOISTEROUS. We speed to the opportunity for a $500 bonus, and Bob must use the Megaword in a sentence.
"My honeymoon was boisterous." That's all Pat needs to know, and it was worth the $500 to him. Pat wants to hear more about it.

Alan's got his tongue twisted now. None of his opportunities paid off, so he's stuck with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Tom will boisterously walk to Bonus Land where he could soon win one more great prize this week. We still have a trip to Switzerland, the car, and the $25,000. Pat also asks if Tom's a skier, and he is.
If only he could ski over to the envelopes to pick the second E. What if Vanna could ski back and forth at the puzzle board?

He picked the perfect vowel and instantly solves HAWAII! "I'm fine, thank you." Very funny, Pat.
Tom could be a funny man on his ski Switzerland trip including Lake Lucerne, the Matterhorn, Vienna, Innsbruck, and Saint Moritz, plus a 2-night Danube River cruise, all adding up to $24,000!
Tom finishes with $27,850 in cash and prizes, and he'll be coming back next week!
