Well, just like Season 35's Great American Cities week, this week ended up being pretty average. Our Great American Cities contestants took home $231,473 in cash and prizes, this week. Highlights from this week include Tuesday's Bonus Round win, a come from behind win on Monday's game thanks to a $5K Final Spin, and Friday's game with all three contestants going home with $10K plus. We even had a member of our site become a contestant this week, so that's always nice to see.
Next week, instead of a Thanksgiving themed week like we had last season, we will be celebrating Thanksgiving Week with Shopping Spree Week. We are most likely having this themed week in honor of Black Friday, which happens to be next Friday. In seasons past, Shopping Spree Week has always been an average week, though it did end a small Bonus Round slump we had early on in the previous season. Will our contestants for this season's version of Shopping Spree earn a lot of dough for future shopping pleasures? We'll find out, next week.
Note: We are saluting San Diego in this episode.
