Pre-spoilers: Shakespeare and Press? I like SUIT better than UNDERTAKER because of its double meaning.

Post spoiler: Auro has a point with WASHINGTON, where reporters, newspapers, ghost-written memoirs, and campaign treatises are very common. I think Bob works for the US government, so he may have been thinking along this line.

Point to PRESS

[pjabrony]

Press is RED

[Aurorarcher]

I'm pretty sure SHAKESPEARE or WASHINGTON is grey. Should we guess SUIT first in case we hit the grey Publish word? If all of you favour SHAKESPEARE after that, go for it.

[Old Harry]

I'm happy with SUIT -> SHAKESPEARE. I can see the argument for WASHINGTON, but can we think of any better words to link PRESS with either? Something to do with newspapers might suit WASHINGTON better than publish, I can't see a better word for SHAKESPEARE.

[DaveV]

Another vote for SUIT -> SHAKESPEARE

[Aurorarcher]

Okay. Let's go then.

Clinton 4

[WarriorKnight]

As a non-American under 30, I don't think I'm going to be very helpful here. WASHINGTON is obvious, presumably followed by CHICK for Hillary. I have no idea what goes after that. UNDERTAKER for an impeachment reference? And nothing else really makes sense aside from maybe MINT for a really weak 4th word. Hopefully someone is more familiar with what pja is going for, unfortunately I don't think anyone aside from pja is from America. Not a great sign when we need to guess 5 words this turn to win.

We need a +1 from a previous clue to win, but we have 2 words missing so something is reclued. We don't have a good word for Hobbit, but we did state RACKET was probably going to be next for Pointy so we should probably do that unless RACKET somehow fits with Clinton. Depending on what everyone else says hopefully we can figure out the reclued word and work from there, as we need whatever info we can get since we probably won't get another turn.

[Krill]

I thought we only needed 9 to win so we don't need a plus one, right?

[Krill]

Clinton could mean either Hilary or Bill. Bill was almost impeached for a sex scandal, so CHICK fits, never mind WASHINGTON as president. Hilary could be described by a RACKET given her attempt to run in 2016.
