Hammer here to finish of the week. As a notice, we're on the verge of not only our third Bonus Round shutout of the season, but also a new record for the lowest one-week total of the Toss-Up era. Let's get a win tonight and remedy that.
Episode #5550 - PURE PARADISE[/u]

F R E _ _ - B A K E _

She can only get the PARTY in PIZZA PARTY and she loses the $45,000. We're SHUT OUT[/color] in Bonus Land this week, but at least the main-game winnings were a lot better today.

I was afraid it would happen sooner or later. Though, oddly, there was a reaction to her $2,500 spin earlier...
