Carl: Seven, risky as well
Des: Let's hear the lady's first...
Pauline: PROMATE
Des: PRO...?
Alison: (interjecting enthusiastically, nodding) PRONATE?
Pauline: PRO....[slight pause].... PRONATE, yes.
Alison: How are you spelling that?
Pauline: P-R-O-N-A-T-E

The production team did not initially pick up on this, but invited the player she'd beaten (Carl Dundas) back to Series 58 as a challenger, even though had PROMATE ☓ been disallowed, Dundas would still have mathematically lost before the conundrum.
