Time to begin our first-ever salute to the "Military Spouses"! The vast majority (not all) of this week's contestants will be women.
EPISODE #5561 - MILITARY SPOUSES WEEK
Tape Date of the Week: January 12, 2012 (presumably the first taping of this year)
Before the start of the in-studio action, we hear a special greeting from First Lady Michelle Obama!
$1,000 Tossup - PHRASE
_ H A N _ S / A
M I _ L _ O N
Rebecca says "THANKS A MILLION" to get on the board first. Monday's all-female panel consists of...
Rebecca Sander: key spouse mentor for the Ninth Aircraft Maintenance Squadron stationed at Beale AFB in Marysville, MD; her husband Jeff is an Air Force technology sergeant who left two days after the time of this taping for his sixth visit to Korea
Renee Parker: from Olympia, WA; she's married to Brydon who's an Army NCO flight instructor stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord
Hope Mazzeo: former six-yr. Marine from Temecula, CA; her husband's a Coast Guard Master Sgt. for 20 years
$2,000 Tossup - PERSON
_ I G H _ E R

Renee comes up w/ FIGHTER PILOT.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: a $5K hayneedle shopping spree
Jackpot Round - SONG LYRICS
Category Wipe of the Week: a series of red, white and blue banners that act as curtains to reveal the categories
Renee immediately BANKRUPTS next to the Wild Card. Secondly, Hope gets her run going w/ four R's before Free Playing the E. Much later, she picks up the WC with four S's. After a lot of work, she loses her turn w/ the L. Rebecca picks up the green 1/2 KIA w/ the G before we see...

S T R I P E S / A N D
B R I G H T / S T A R S
They're from "The Star-Spangled Banner", and she correctly recites "...BROAD STRIPES AND BRIGHT STARS" for $1,600...bumped to the house minimum of $2K, even though this isn't a team week.
SOLE DUD: L (Hope)
BANKRUPT: Renee
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $9,050
(NOTE: Rebecca's score incorrectly showed $1,100 at the time of her solve before changing to another incorrect number of $1,500; it then correctly showed the $2K before we head into commercial.)
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Hope: WC
Rebecca: $3K + 1/2 KIA
Renee: $2K
========
Mystery Round - SAME LETTER
In the middle of the round, Hope says the SL of six S's for the same 1/2 KIA and then the P while on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. No way is she risking $7,200 and her plate (good move -- that's the BANKRUPT one). Her next call of double L's nets her the other 1/2 KIA. She's ready to solve right now...

S T R _ _ N E R
She nails STAINLESS STEEL SPAGHETTI STRAINER for a total of $24,250 cash and KIA Soul! As a result, Rebecca's own 1/2 gets retired for the rest of this night.
PERFECT ROUND!
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Hope: $24,250 + WC
Rebecca: $3K
Renee: $2K

PRIZE PUZZLE Round - RHYME TIME
Rebecca immediately duds out w/ S. Renee secondly says three T's for the MDW and an A via FP. It's all her from here...

O _ / T H E / O _ E A N
She solves this puzzle for $1,300, and will feel THE MOTION OF THE OCEAN on an MSC CARIBBEAN CRUISE w/ the hotwire.com travel worth $5,400; that round was worth $6,700 to her.
CRUISE SPIN ID: DM5118421 (David M.)

Rebecca: $3K
Renee: $8,700 + MDW

I felt so bad for Rebecca in R1. She went all the way and ended up solving for that minimum (even though she shouldn't have called the Bs on 300), and we didn't even know it until after the commercial...
