I was a little worried about Lace v Flat but not too much, as I had no idea how red would clue Stadium/Rainbow/Crab at once and Lace would be an easy +1 guess with my 3rd clue. If red hadn't stumbled at Power it certainly would've been a nail biter if a misstep meant not getting that 3rd turn.

JR4: There were too many grey words for Power to reliably stretch that clue to 3 IMO, as it's not very specific. I could've see it potentially hitting all of Millionaire, Ninja and Plate. I can't really comment on the cultural thing, maybe Stadium could've worked with more European-focused red team? Unfortunately even if there are several good words for pairs between Stadium/Crown/Battery (gladiator, lights, power etc.) I can't think of a word that has a good chance to hit all three at once... Spotlight perhaps?

I was thinking something like Coastline could work for Rainbow/Flat/Crab, but I have no idea how to include Stadium in there as well. While Search wasn't the best clue, I don't think I could do much better.

I agree that Power 3 was going a bridge too far. Battery and Crown could also be clued by a military word (Redcoat?) but it`s not easy to include Stadium. With so many awkward words left to clue, maybe it would have been better to try for a pair of those and save the easy 3 clue (Force) until the end.

If we had gotten Flat as a gift I still think we would have had some hope of winning but I`m also having trouble seeing a word that fits Crab, Stadium and Rainbow.

Well done, Blue team!

It seems we weren't close at all with our Search guesses. If we hadn't tripped up on BAR, we would have run straight into MILE. That assassin ruins a number of possible clues, including Coastline for RAINBOW/FLAT/CRAB. Fish 3 could have worked for those words, though, and that paired with Spotlight 3 for STADIUM/CROWN/BATTERY may have been enough to squeak by. It's hard to say.

Any takers for Red spymaster in Round 3?
