Wow, what a week this has been! Despite a lackluster start on Monday's game, things sure picked up as the week went by. Our Wheel Around the World contestants scooped up $331,096 in cash and prizes, this week, nearly beating out Girlfriend Getaways as our highest scoring week. Highlights from this week include the four Bonus Round wins from Tuesday-Friday, Wednesday and Thursday's come from behind victories, THREE of our members being contestants this week (and it's been a while since we've had a member from this site appear on the show), and Thursday's Bonus Round being a Million Dollar Bonus Round, and the first MDBR where the puzzle was solved correctly.
Next week, we'll be seeing an encore of the Disney Hawaiian Vacation Week. The last time we saw this week was back in early February, and once again, this will be a team week, most likely married couples. Our first Hawaiian Vacation Week did pretty well, especially for a team week, so can the second week keep up the momentum? We'll just have to find out and see.
Note: Once again, huge thanks to GameShow75 for his contributions.
