It wasn’t a typical Saturday afternoon at Planet Hollywood’s Pleasure Pool, where the weekly bikini contest took on a different flavor leading up to the finals over Labor Day Weekend.

Contributing photographer Tom Donoghue, who was on duty for the weekly poolside assignment under the sizzling sun, reports that there were flips, jumps and splits. Two contestants from California tied for first place, the first time this competition has seen a draw.

The ladies decided to do push-ups to determine a champion, and they still tied, so the final result was two winners. The runners-up hailed from Seattle and Wisconsin.

There are only three weeks left until the overall $5,000 winner is crowned, and then it’s another year until the next weekly set of bikini contest photos as summer quickly fades away.
