It's been almost two weeks since "Insiders 3" was posted on this blog, and a whopping nineteen people have solved it since then, as you can see in the following list:
- Grant Fikes
- Cindy Heisler
- Joe Bernard
- Pavel Curtis
- Kevin Orfield
- Mike Armstrong
- Sam Levitin
- Chris Kochmanski
- Josie Giles
- Tower
- Wendy Walker
- Michael Lebowitz
- Patrick Jordan
- Mom
- Tamara Brenner
- Lynn Sweeney
- KeoFam

Now head below the break for the answers as well as a solver's comment!
ROWS: 1) Photo/Kenny, 2) Twinkle/Rob, 3) Accost/Arco, 4) Proven/Iced, 5) Uni-/Collect, 6) Thai/Cement, 7) Blimp/Endow, 8) Suspect/Rep
INSIDE WORDS: Token, Nicolle, Winkler, Venice, Spectre, Impend, Icemen, Costar
The letters outside of the Inner Words spell out "PHONY TOBACCO PRODUCT THAT BLOWS UP", and the answer to that clue is EXPLODING CIGAR (I also accepted answers that were similar enough to my intended one, such as FAKE CIGARETTE)
A PSA From the computer game Stay Tooned!: Don't smoke, or it'll blow up in your face! (As for the "Red button" quote at the end, you have to press it on your remote control to start the game proper)
Solver Josie Giles said "This is a really impressive bit of construction. It must be so tough to find insider pairs that can also spell out a message AND are all the same length. Wow!"
