Looks like we need to decide between THEATER and EUROPE.

If Satyr's did originate from Greek Theater, then I think I would lean towards THEATER over EUROPE. Although that does assume they are only known in Greece, if it's been widespread throughout Europe then idk... I'd still probably lean THEATER though.

@WK Third votes from the three of us are actually Theater, Bed, and Angel. I'm happy with you breaking the tie or going Europe if you find that most persuasive.

Another two-word clue... I guess we're talking the slow-and-steady approach here.

"Weepinbell" is a Pokemon, so Bell immediately comes to mind, if David is actually cluing the game series.

"Weeping Angels" are a recurring adversary in the new Doctor Who series (or, at least they were, I haven't watched the show in years).

The "Wailing Wall" is a holy site in Jerusalem. IIRC David is Jewish as well.


I don't really see any other connections... of the ones above, I prefer Wall and Angel, in that order, with Bell saved for next round if we hit grey or blue.

Yeah, I'm worried about Blue team closing out before we've even been clued everything. But let's see here:

Weeping ANGEL is the obvious one. Then...WALL? Like, the Wailing WALL, only not quite?

I hit the same words as Bob on my own.

ANGELs weep.
There is a Wailing WALL in Jerusalem.
Weeping BELL (not quite sure on the spelling) is the name of a Pokemon, I think. (confirmed by Bob)
Don't really see anything else.

So we should point to two of the three, and there are reasons not to point to each.
ANGEL is possibly a blue Satyr word, both being mythical beings.
The Wailing WALL isn't precisely "weeping".
Weeping BELL is an incredibly obscure reference, and there's no guarantee that David has been cluing Pokemon at all.

David being Jewish strengthens the likelihood of WALL. Probably my first choice.
BELL is clearly the least likely, but if ANGEL is blue, then that's the game right there. Blue would have two words left, which can't be too hard to clue. David may be hoping we avoid ANGEL for that reason. So it all comes down to how likely we think ANGEL is blue, against how likely BELL is blue or black. (It doesn't matter at all if BELL is grey, because we can pick up ANGEL as our +1 on the next round.) Notably, if we don't point to ANGEL, and it is blue, then I can see a situation in which Blue team opt for EUROPE instead, and we get the critical fourth round that we need.

...I can't make up my mind.
