There have been quite a few Indiana contestants lately. And she's a teacher, so I'm rooting for her.

Nihil obstat®.

$7,500 - Lyrics
The infamous general Napolean is mentioned in the opening line of what ABBA song?
A: Waterloo B: SOS
C: Mamma Mia D: The Winner Takes It All

I think the producers forgot to warn the contestants in this taping session not to sing out pop songs. Renee sang out the answer "Waterloo". Surprisingly, her singing got past the censors. Looks like the show will have to pay out some royalties.

Nihil obstat® so far.
