Episode #7080: Shopping Spree Day 5
Here we go, everyone. We are on the verge of yet, another skunking. If the Bonus Round is not won, tonight, then we will be skunked for the second time, this season. I have a tomato bath ready for us just in case this happens. With that being said, let's go into this week with high hopes, and wrap up Shopping Spree Week.

Since the Bonus Round was not won at all, this week, this means we've been skunked for the second time, this season.
Despite the skunk, this week was okay, to say the least. Our Shopping Spree contestants only took home $201,301 in cash and prizes. Highlights from this week include nice Main Game wins on Tuesday and Friday, a nail-biting battle between the red and blue contestants on Thanksgiving's game, and a $5,000 Final Spin on Friday's game. However, despite these nice highlights, this has to be our worst week of the season, so far, as it produced our first $100K loss of the season, had more difficult Bonus Round puzzles than usual, and is now our lowest scoring week of the season, winnings wise.
Next week is Safe Travels Week, so it seems as though this week will be filled with puzzles around traveling, and different modes of traveling, such as planes, trains, and automobiles. I sure hope that we can get at least one Bonus Round win, next week, because right now, it seems like it's going to be the last few weeks of Season 36 all over again. I also wish everyone safe travels for those who traveled outside of their homes for this Thanksgiving Holiday.
In the meantime, it's time to get into the tomato bath. Get comfortable, everyone, as we're here until Monday.
