Unfortunately, there will be no VICTORY PARADE for Tim, as he cannot solve for the Flex.
Well, this definitely was an interesting week. Our contestants managed to collect $236,790 in cash and prizes this week. There were some nice highlights this week, such as our big $60,000 plus Main Game win on Monday, and our Main Game winner on Tuesday winning the Bonus Round, breaking our Bonus Round losing streak (temporarily), and our Friday Main Game winner almost achieving the rare Main Game sweep.
Despite the 1-4 Bonus Round week, this week definitely went better than the previous two weeks. And best of all, we weren't skunked this week, so no tomato bath for us, this time!
Will next week's Spa Getaway be as soothing as a massage, or will it be as painful as a body wax like last season's version? We'll find out next week.
