I hope they would have accepted "chrysalis" in Round 1. They've kinda had problems with that word before.

While helping source (or splice) a few eps, I'm also rewatching this season and just hit this episode. IMO this playing alone justifies both "why Nancy was ultimately sacked" and "why Clue was eventually retired.". If you're a contestant on the show, see that clue/R1 puzzle: CATERPILLAR CONSTRUCTION Guess: bulldozer and somehow that's wrong?...that might not have been the solution the staff planned but it is a wholly and completely valid one for the information the contestant was given, and having a bonus with multiple answers but you're only going to accept one arbitrary one is just bad gameplay, writing, and producing - and I'm actually kind of surprised didn't get overturned after a break. (and given some of the arbitrary garbage they were accepting in Megaword the same season, buzzing that is such a weird thing and bad call). |

@millioncolorsoflight I agree, that should have been overturned. Same with FORK SECTION on 9/12 and the contestant who said "to the left of your plate". That's a valid way to interpret the clue.

Same with MARILYN MONROE'S LAST FILM from a good two years earlier, where they buzzed Something's Got To Give and accepted The Misfits, then after the break said the puzzle was implying her last completed film. |
