We have yet another dramatic Friday on our hands, ladies and gentlemen. As we close out this New Orleans road trip, let's find out right now if we're gonna have our third PERFECT BONUS ROUND WEEK of this season. Up until this point, we gave away $307,505 cash and prizes.
For the fourth and final time this week, we're starting the game with...
