All around (pun), gymnasts are pretty courageous.

I'm OK with a pass here, but on the other hand, even an incorrect guess might put us in a better position to win on the next turn.

Let's go for it, then. Tin still work for you?

Boom, arm and then?

I think I like bugle for the last marching

Prob pitcher since you throw a grenade.

I like that as well. I'll go ahead and lock in boom and arm since those seem like gimmes.

Arm

both blue

I like bugle the best next

Then I could rationalize Rip, pitcher, lemon and bolt?

I don't really like any of them.

I can see rip and I guess you throw a lemon/has similar characteristics. Am I missing anything else from that? Not sure the bolt connection tho...is that like bolt/explosion? Bolt away from it?

I don't see an issue going with bugle, pitcher. Not I'm super sold on the others you listed but I do like bugle obv. Lmk what you think.

I'm fine with bugle and pitcher or bugle and pass.

Pants (worn on legs) and ear (another body part) seem the most likely suspects.

I agree there. Usain Bolt is know for his legs, but then the clue would’ve been plural. What do you think for courage? Is gymnast for real? Or is there some film out there that you and I have never seen or heard of? Not seeing other super viable options.

Both red

There's a '90s movie called Courage Under Fire, and I imagine they made a movie out of Red Badge of Courage at some point, maybe in the '50s. But I don't know of a movie title that is just Courage.

Thinking about how else we get to either gymnast or film -- leggings for gymnast and pants, Oz for scarecrow and film. Those are only two-word clues, though; maybe he thought this was the best chance at getting three words.

He hasn't clued us for all of our words yet, so we could pass and let the other team reduce our options some more. But it's also possible we'll just be deciding between these two next turn, so maybe we should get a potentially wrong guess out of the way now? On the third hand, I'd hate to guess a blue word, as we'd almost certainly lose if that happened, and maybe we're better off leaving some potential blockers for them out there.
