Apparently, some number of affiliates aired a crawl explaining that the
show was taped in advance during the solve, and all of the cases where I've
seen it mentioned are in or west of the Rockies, so I kind of wonder if
nobody caught it before it started airing.

This week is a "salute to the military", according to wheeloffortune.com,
so that's probably a more obvious theme to the layperson than some,
although if they were doing a taping this week and/or felt like dragging
Pat in, it seems like they might have been able to swap Monday for an
episode from later in the week and quickly insert a segment explaining that
it had been taped well in advance.
