Well, everyone, since the Bonus Round was not won at all this week, this means that we've been skunked, again.

Our California Coast players only managed to scoop up $177,916 in cash and prizes, this week. Despite the skunk, there were some nice moments this week. We finally saw a win from the blue podium this week, and the blue podium even dominated the Main Game this week, winning 4 of the 5 Main Games this week, not to mention the nearly $40,000 Main Game win from today's game. 

Will our players for Shopping Spree next week make out like bandits, or will they burn a hole in their pockets? We'll find out next week. 

In the meantime, since we were skunked this week, you all know the drill; into the tomato bath we go. We're here until Monday. 

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