That Guy chiming in to point out that conservationist has only 15 letters. Lindsey should have kept counting.
Has something similar happened on the show before with these same two words?

The clue reads:
Cetus is known as the whale, but in mythology, it was the sea creature this hero saved Andromeda from
I was going to quibble, but you might have half a point. Easy enough to clue in on "it was the sea creature," I suppose, especially if she stressed "it" (which I doubt), but hard to argue against "this hero" being the tipoff they wanted Perseus.

LT: King Lear, Book of Kells, Perseus, environmentalist, Volga, Paul Ryan (does my heart good to know people are forgetting that jackass), Andy Reid. Might have guessed Poland off Sobieski if I'd been far enough ahead, or behind.
On FJ I flailed around and finally matched Laura with cockroach. I've heard of the Butterfly Effect but didn't know it originated in a Bradbury story. Is this the part where I insert the
Simpsons clip of Martin dismissing his work? No, it is not, because I like all the Bradbury I've read... which clearly wasn't enough for tonight.
