Well, this definitely was an alright week. Our Leave Winter Behind players took home $254,835 in cash and prizes, this week. Highlights from this week include the three Bonus Round wins on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, and one of our members (Jerry) being a contestant, this week. We always seem to do well with the winter-themed weeks, and this week was certainly no exception. 

Next week is Hawaii Vacation week, and this will be our first week of the season to feature teams. Will our teams consist of married couples? Best Friends? Maybe even families, which we haven't even seen in a while? And how will our teams do? We are always hit and miss with team weeks, so we'll just have to wait and see. 

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