Ep 170: Tamara McMahon, Richard King (September 2, 2016; originally aired March 25, 2011)

Rounds: Here.

Disclaimer: I watched this episode when it first aired, and although I did not recall any of it I cannot rule out memory being a factor.

Just the summary for now, as I'm still very behind.


Round 1: R A N I C D M E T

Tamara: TRAINED
Richard: CARET
Me: TIMECARD
David: TIMECARD

Scores: Tamara 0 (7), Richard 0, me 8


Round 2: F O E I T S B E S

Tamara: FOISTS
Richard: BEST

Richard: 70
Me: 876
Lily: 876

Scores: Tamara 0 (13), Richard 0 (5), me 25


First break: GENIE RUM ("Really yummy with lemon")

I happen to agree with the clue, which is referring to MERINGUE.

David's talk is about the word flock, as well as some words derived from the Latin for it (grex): gregarious, aggregate, congregate, and egregious.

Richard: [not in range]
Me: 278

Scores: Tamara 17 (36), Richard 0 (5), me 49


Second break: ELM TULIP ("Many, many times")

Or MULTIPLE times.

In recent times, this is the only game I've played from this site (my TV aerial was not working this day, so could not play with TV).

CRATED
BESTIES
(10+2)*75-2)=876
SNORER and wondered about SNARLER-ok in my second edition - grrr...
SHUNTED
(5+6)*25+3=278
DOPING
(10-3)*50-6=344
