I like NET, HOOK ,WORM, MASS. But there's something to be said for going for NEEDLE before MASS, so that could use further discussion.
Anyway, since we have consensus on the first three,
point to NET
point to HOOK
point to WORM

I'd rather go for AMAZON than MASS, and NEEDLE before GLASS. I'm more sure of NEEDLE though, so can we point to that next?

I'm happy to guess NEEDLE next. As for AMAZON vs MASS. Both have some merit. AMAZON is a potential source of the phishing whilst MASS emailing is the method often used.
I am happy for us to point at either. My slight preference is towards MASS but I don't think there is much in it.
Considering we currently have a lead, maybe if NEEDLE is correct, we should pass and have those two in mind for future turns? Actually, I think that is better.

In general, I would choose such a strategy. However, in this case we have already found 5 out of the total of 8 blue codenames. If we can get 2 more correct, then we just have one left next turn which should be easy for Brick to clue. So there is much potential benefit to guessing twice.
As to AMAZON vs MASS, I certainly prefer MASS. Also, I agree on picking NEEDLE next.

Oops! Sorry guys!
Does that mean it's GLASS?
Re: passing when you have a 50/50 - I don't think it's a good idea generally because you then have to guess the right one on the next turn if you need to win that turn. At the start of the game passing can sometimes be a good move, but if we think reds can win in two turns we need to finish next turn . It's moot now though as reds are up.
