This was definitely a nice start to our America's Game weeks. Our America's Game I contestants took home $273,003 in cash and prizes, this week. Highlights from this week include the Bonus Round wins on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, some nice second place totals throughout the week, and some nice Triple Toss-Up sweeps, as well. We even had a member from our site become a contestant this week, too, which is always nice to see. Let's hope our other America's Game weeks later this season can do this well.
Next week will be Great American Cities week. Just like Season 35, this week will be a salute to various American cities, where five cities will be saluted (one for each weekday) as opposed to one big salute for one city. This should be a special week, as we will have a member of our site appear on this specific week, so let's make sure to root for them when their episode airs.
Note: We are on the Great Northwest set.
