Ep 176: Victor Tung, Kapil Chauhan (September 12, 2016; originally aired April 4, 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.

First break: LAD SCOFF ("Temporary working structure")

A straight definition for a SCAFFOLD.

David's talk is about the term goat's head.

Kapil: TERM
Me: MOTHERED

Scores: Victor 14 (19), Kapil 7, me 27


Round 5: C A R I S R E T O

A useful bit of precedent in this round, as I've occasionally mentioned the possibility of EROTICAS.  But David puts it firmly in the mass noun category.

Victor: [invalid -- EROTICAS]
Kapil: ARREST
Me: REACTORS
David: CREATORS

Scores: Victor 14 (19), Kapil 7 (13), me 35

That would be to be THOROUGH.
