So, I am from the USA, I'm just an early riser. We played a lot of baseball in my neighborhood, often with three or even two-man teams. This required ghost baserunners, which is a real thing. I didn't bother to check that most of my team is from Europe, lesson learned.
After remembering that Sigourney Weaver was in Ghostbusters, I was kicking myself for not going Baserunner 3 in the first round. Other than that, things went pretty much as planned. I did indeed want to lock in MODEL before shallow_thought convinced you she was in BOLT (IMDB says she wasn't  ). I assumed every female movie star was a model as some point, but apparently she wasn't. Whatever works, I guess.
Good job of following my lead, team, and good job, Bob. That was perilously close!

Let me guess Ambulance was connected to (heart) beat?

Another close one! Well played. The Sigourney clue was very slick.

Good game. Sigourney was indeed a nice clue. As always, it's amusing to see how a clue by a North American is interpreted by Europeans (and vice versa). Ghost baserunner? I guess you learn something every day.

Yup, that or needing a ride in one after a beating; thinking was as follows:
Beat (6):
* Pound, Dance, War, Casino, Palm (though it was likely Blue would hit this anyway), Ambulance. I was sure Disease would be guessed too, but unfortunately missed the fairly obvious Note connection, and so we ended up burning two turns on grey words.
No need to explain Deception, you all understood what I was going for.
Well played by Dave!

I wouldn't have got the ambulance part, but it makes sense. Oops.
So are we doing a round 3 tiebreaker?

Let's do it! You're spymastering for our team, I assume?

I'm happy to, but if anyone else wants to they are welcome. Especially if they haven't yet.
