I sincerely hope we get back on track after a very bizarre episode from last Friday, which had the first $100,000 loss this season.
EPISODE #5696 - MILITARY FAMILIES[/u]
$1,000 Tossup - MOVIE TITLE
_ / _ _ _
_ _ _ _ / _ _ N
Dan & Cat solve "A FEW GOOD MEN" very quickly. Here are Monday's teams...
Dan & Cat Vagnozzi (married 3 yrs.): Cat's originally from Sydney, Australia while Dan's an infantry captain in the Army; they're currently living in Ft. Knox, KY
Joan & Doug Daeffler (married 3 decades): Joan's a secretary while Doug's a Lt. Colonel in the NY Air Nartional Guard; they're from Waterloo, NY
Tamecia Perry & Danurah "D.J" Jones (brother/sister): Tamecia's a logistics specialist stationed at Fleet Readiness Center SW in S.D. while her brother's a Marine Corps Sgt. at MCAS Miramar; they're originally from GA
$2,000 Tossup - PERSON
_ A R L Y
_ I S E _
The middle team blank out while the Vagnozzis are two for two w/ EARLY RISER.
FEATURED PRIZE (sponsored by "Arthur Christmas"): Sony home entertainment package worth $6,182
Jackpot Round - SAME LETTER
The Vagnozzis land on the MDW right away, but call a dud T. Second, the Daefflers put up an S but no R. Third, D.J. and Tamecia establish the -ING ending for the second word, but then say D for denied. The Vagnozzis next tack on the SL of three B's for $1,500. Towards the end, they squander their turn w/ the K. The Daefflers insert a C...

DUDS: T (Vagnozzis), R (Daefflers), D (Tamecia/D.J.), K (Vagnozzis)
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $11,100
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Daefflers: $2K
D.J./Tamecia: $0
Vagnozzis: $3K

Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
The Daefflers are up first w/ T and S singles, but then E for error. Second, the siblings FP three A's, but then chosse L for loss of turn while on the neighboring MW. Third, the Vagnozzis have spotted a $900 F and clean out the vowel department (one I and four O's) but then BANKRUPT on the MDW's right side to lose $400. The Daefflers try again w/ two D's, but then get shot down by the BANKRUPT near $650 to forfeit $1,600. The siblings next light up two C's while on that same MW, and D.J. flips that over to find...the BANKRUPT. The Vagnozzis then cash in $7K w/ the M's...

Oddly enough, there's no Bonus Puzzle flashback tonight.

PRIZE PUZZLE Round - PHRASE
At the start, the brother/sister duo say S for sorry while on the WC. The Vagnozzis are second in line w/ four R's, but then buy the only bad vowel of this puzzle (O). Third, the Daefflers insert two T's and four E's before hitting LAT. Tamecia & D.J. are back in control, but they BANKRUPT near top dollar. On the Vagnozzis' second try, they pick off the H and three A's, but they fall victim to LAT. The Daefflers get that same white wedge again (they tried to call for the L, which would've been a dud). The middle team are back in control again...

Between the penalties and the duds, it's no surprise that the $3,500 hit from last round has been about the only decent money of the game. Had this not been the Trip Puzzle, it would have been another $2,000 minimum (though $1,750 is close to that). And of course, since there's no 1/2 Cars this theme, SEXED-UP TRIP ALERT!
