$4,000 would have been gettable if the clue-giver had been able to stay calm. Al was almost there, but he only ever got a couple mediocre clues and some nodding.
Given it seems that lots of the contestants are lifelong fans of the show and have waited a long time to get to do this I am curious as to why more of the contestants are not taking advantage of the easier material and using your words to pinpoint categories and locations. "My Honda Civic owner's manual". "$20 gas money." "A tire pressure gauge." Using answers that focus in on "ok, it pertains to cars, now what?" Sure, everyone's giving a list but it seems like a little more thought into some of the middle level boxes would have helped the team to a victory.

And also to you.

/things that go BOOM!
//so we can call clues mediocre but can't say that practice can make perfect or indeed another $45k or $95k.

and "Catholic schoolgirl's plaid uniform" came to mind.
Sorry, but I'd be buzzing this one for describing the word skirt instead of being a type of skirt.  (Bob Stewart's mileage may have varied.)  Reasonably good clue in the front, game, however.

Pleated and hoop haven't been given, I don't think.

I'll admit that that exact wording came to mind well after the buzzer, and I'll agree that it's risky. To me, it's veering into "things with a skirt" territory more than to a description of a skirt, but I figure that the biggest thing in the WC is getting the word out "skirt" out of my partner, so it's a risk I'd consider.

I'm pretty sure "grass" is a legal, albeit terrible, clue.

Ones I'm less sure about (and are also terrible) are "steak" and "excess tablecloth".

Isn't this the other way around, that skirt steak is a kind of steak and not a kind of skirt.

Drop the word "plaid" and you're probably fine.  At that point, you're putting the uniform in your list, not a part of the uniform.

This Sunday we have shows featuring Terry Crews and Randall Park, among others. I saw the Randall Park show in person. This was the first episode they taped.

Second WC of tonight's second episode is brutal on a number of levels.

Near Tom Poston levels of bad. I think she showed that she was much better at giving than receiving. Perhaps the contestant shoud've elected to have her give.

In the $100,000 winner's circle, for the subject "underwater" do you zap "a scuba diver" as including the answer or not?
