Episode #6835: Gone Fishin' Day 5

Well, everyone, here we go. We're on a Skunk Alert, and if the Bonus Round isn't solved today, we'll be skunked for the first time this season. I have the tomato bath ready, in case the ultimate happens. Let's hope for the best, though.

Since the Bonus Round was not won at all this week, this unfortunately means that we’ve been skunked.

This is the first time we’ve been skunked this season, and it probably won’t be the last.

Thank goodness I made a tomato bath for us all, as I was afraid this would happen.

Well, we started the season off strong with Teacher’s Week, but Gone Fishin’ Week just couldn’t keep up the momentum in the Bonus Round front. We had some nice Main Game wins, such as those two $30K plus wins on Tuesday and Friday, and a contestant managed to get $20,400 in one round alone on Wednesday, but other than that, our players could only reel in $166,580 in cash and prizes.

Hopefully, our contestants for California Coast Week will be Soaking up the Sun, and getting us back into a Bonus Round winning record.

But in the meantime, get in the bath, everyone, and get comfortable, because we’re going to be in here until Monday. And please, no splashing.

Oh, and by the way, the Million Dollar Envelope was one space away on the N in WIN.

Note: Once again, huge thanks to GameShow75 for his contributions.
