Tulley wins immunity with 19 words. Amer wins the right to nullify a vote with 20 words. Neutrino came in a really close second among dead people with 18 words!

Did you actually do that yourself, Tulley, or were you just given the best answer?

I did it myself. If I had known I was only 1 away, I would have pushed harder!
People should post theirs, so we can see their brilliance!

I did it myself. If I had known I was only 1 away, I would have pushed harder! People should post theirs, so we can see their brilliance! I'm on to you. You just want to try find a flaw in my submission! I tried to use a crossword builder, but they were too big and didn't double-link words, so I created one and just grabbed a chunk that I liked with around 5 words and built off of that. Then I put a list of all acceptable words into Notepad++ and used regex searches to find words that fit in gaps, like ^.{0,3}T.A.{0,2}$ to find "TRAIN".

Here's mine. I also tried a builder with no success, so I went by hand and used wineverygame.com to fill anything i couldnt figure out myself:
H S C H L A F L Y G H O S T A I O A Z A C B V B R A D Y L R A E D E F E N D S A R A H E T A R C A B A L S R E A G A N O I R I R E W O M E N N R D T H R I L L E R A
Across: Schlafly - Phyllis Schlafly spearheaded the defeat of the ERA in 1982 Ghost - many of them haunt the train now Zac - the only one I trust Brad - Probably a spy, definitely apathetic Defend - What I am unsuccessful in doing every game Sarah - Ultra uber suspicious Cabals - the best part of mildville Reagan - President in 1982 Women - The most active and fun gender in Mildville Thriller - Best selling album of all time, released in 1982
Down: Seaborn - Mildville 5! Hoovler - The power brokers Sierra - Ford introduced the Sierra in 1982, replacing the Contina Stab - It could happen to anyone on this damn train Hazard - The train is full of them Erode - In March of 1982, a massive mudflow erosion occurred in North Toutle River near Mount St. Helens Ad - Diet Coke ran its first ad in 1982 Libyan - in 1982, America placed an embargo on Libyan oil imports Train - Our tomb
ERA: Fuck it, formatting is a POS on this MB. You get the idea.

Interesting. It looks like you generated a list of words that fit a space and then tried to apply them to the game. Several of those are quite a stretch: defend, women, Sierra, erode, and especially Ad. I supposed it doesn't matter, since you were guaranteed to win immunity regardless of how you performed. I also created a list of 1982 related words, but I realized they were mostly too long to fit on such a small grid: Commodore64 — Debuted. CompactDisc — Debuted. ConchRepublic — An island in Key West, FL declared independence from the U.S. Delorean — Arrested for cocaine trafficking (found not guilty due to entrapment) FalklandsWar — Started. GraceKelly — Dead. JohnBelushi — Dead. LawnchairLarry — Dude attached dozens of weather ballons to a lawnchair and got up to 16,000 ft. LebanonWar — Started. LethalInjection — The first execution by lethal injection (in Texas, of course). TheComputer — Time's Man of the Year Thriller — Debuted.

I had a very similar list. Delorean was actually on my grid until I realized at the last second that it went down to the 16th tile.
