ANNOUNCER: It'sLingo night,
which means it's time to meet the man
of many words, your host,
RuPaul!
[cheering]
Hello and welcome to Lingo,
where, if you put a good word in,
you can take home thousands of dollars.
-[cheering] -[RuPaul laughs]
Now, I see y'all scrolling through your phones
playing the latest word games, but
if you're looking for a real challenge,
you're in the right place, baby.
[cheering]
Here's how it works.
RUPAUL: Tonight,
-four new teams will tackle... -Yeah!
...the Lingo board. The two teams
that bank the most money
in each round will earn
a coveted spot in the Lingo Showdown
at the end of the night,
where one duo
will walk away with
both teams' winnings
plus an extra
$50,000 jackpot.
This is the Lingo grid.
Our contestants
will be shown the first letter of a word.
All they have to do is guess that word.
A correct letter turns green.
A correct letter in the wrong place turns yellow.
They have five attempts to solve each Lingo,
but only ten seconds for each guess.
Each time they find a Lingo, we'll add money to their bank.
Fabulous!
[cheering]
Let's meet our first two teams.
It's mother/daughter Susan and Regina
and friends Kenya and Shayla.
Let's play Lingo!
First up, you'll be playing three five-letter Lingos.
Get it right on the first try,
that's a Golden Guess,
and you instantly bank
$5,000.
[audience cheering]
A second guess is $2,500.
A third, $2,000.
All the way down to $1,000.
Now, remember, you must say the word and start to spell it
before the timer runs out.
If you run out of time or cannot solve your Lingo,
the other team can steal.
So, you better watch out. Now,
Susan and Regina,
your first five-letter Lingo
begins with... A.
Time starts now.
Action. A-C-T-I-O-N.
Oh. No action there.
Kenya and Shayla,
that means you can steal.
Your time starts now.
Abrupt.
A-B-R-U-P.
-RUPAUL: Okay. -[laughter]
Let's see what it was.
-Alert. -Alert.
Alert! We've run out of space.
[laughter]
RUPAUL: Okay.
Susan and Regina,
your second five-letter Lingo starts with...
J, and your time starts now.
Jokes. J-O-K-E-S.
RUPAUL: Let's see if "jokes" are in there.
Found the E in the wrong place.
[mumbles]
Jaunt. J-A-U-N-T.
RUPAUL: Hmm. Oh. No. Nothing there,
Um...
Joule. J-O-U-L-E.
RUPAUL: Oh, you found the L in the right place.
Jelly. J-E-L-L-Y.
-RUPAUL: Hey! -[audience cheering]
$1,500 in the bank.
Well done. Okay.
Your third five-letter Lingo
starts with... T. Time starts now.
Thigh. T-H-I-G-H.
RUPAUL: You found an H.
Truth. T-R-U-T-H.
RUPAUL: Found a U.
Touch. T-O-U-C-H.
-There you go, Ma. Yeah! -RUPAUL: Hey!
[audience cheering]
$3,500 in your bank.
Well done.
Okay, Kenya and Shayla,
your first
five-letter Lingo starts with...
E. Time starts now.
Every. E-V-E-R-Y.
RUPAUL: E in the wrong place.
Eerie. E-E-R-I-E.
RUPAUL: Still not in the right place.
Elbow?
Elbow. E-L-B-O-W.
RUPAUL: Mm, nothing there.
Empty. E-M-P-T-Y.
RUPAUL: Empty. Mm.
What you want to do?
-Enter? -Yeah, do it.
Enter. E-N-T-E-R.
RUPAUL: Ooh... Oh.
Susan and Regina,
this is your opportunity to steal.
Your time starts now.
-Go. -Eaten.
E-A-T-E-N.
-RUPAUL: There you go. -Yeah.
$1,000.
Kenya and Shayla, your
second five-letter Lingo starts with...
G. Time starts now.
Graph. G-R-A-P-H.
RUPAUL: Found an A.
Glass. G-L-A-S-S.
RUPAUL: Oops, still not right.
Goats. G-O-A-T-S.
RUPAUL: Mm. T not in the right place.
Grate. G-R-A-T-E.
RUPAUL: Mm.
Gonna end in T.
RUPAUL: One more try.
Grant. G-R-A-N-T.
RUPAUL: Ooh, no. Okay.
You've done it again. Susan and Regina,
this is your opportunity to steal.
Your time starts now.
Giant. G-I-A-N-T.
-RUPAUL: There it is. -Yeah, Mom.
Another $1,000.
Kenya and Shayla, let's
try to get you on the board.
Your third
five-letter Lingo begins with...
W.
Your time starts now.
Water. W-A-T-E-R.
-RUPAUL: Okay -AUDIENCE: Ooh.
Watch. W-A-T-C-H.
-RUPAUL: There you go. -[audience cheering]
So, Kenya and Shayla have
banked $2,500, but in the lead,
are Susan and Regina
with $5,500.
[audience cheering, applause]
If you thought that was tense,
you ain't seen nothing, sis,
because Super Lingo is next.
Don't you go nowhere. [laughs]
Welcome back to Lingo.
Now, if you want more than one word a day,
well, honey, we got words coming out the wazoo.
-[laughter] -Now,
Susan and Regina,
-you're mother and daughter. -Yes. -Mm.
Susan, you're a teacher?
I'm a retired teacher.
How long you've been retired?
Uh, six years. Now, I watch
Court TV, Judge Judy.
Hey!
[cheering]
My hobby is watching Judge Judy.
I love it.
Regina, tell me about yourself.
I'm a social worker.
-[cheering] -Now,
you have six degrees between you?
-That's true. -Yes.
That's a lot of school.
-I'm crazy. -RUPAUL: I dropped out of the 11th grade.
[laughter]
But the truth is, everything I know,
I learned from watching television,
-so... [laughs] -REGINA: I think you're doing all right.
-You're doing fine. -I think you're doing just fine.
So, Kenya, the two of you didn't get on
-when you first met? -Right, and I'm actually glad
that you asked me and not her because
she has her version, and I have the truth.
[laughter]
So, we didn't get along that well, at first,
but Kenya found it in her heart to lower herself...
[laughter]
...and called me up, and we hung out,
and we've been friends ever since.
Kenya, tell me a little bit about yourself.
I'm a middle school math teacher.
[audience cheering, applause]
Math? Is that what you said?
-Math. [laughs] Ma-- Arithmetic. -RUPAUL: Yeah.
We-We'll talk about that later 'cause I've--
I don't know what that is.
-I offer tutoring. -RUPAUL: Yeah, yeah.
And, Shayla,
what do you do?
I'm a military spouse.
[audience cheering, applause]
And I'm a registered nurse.
RUPAUL: Right on.
Now, Susan and Regina, you've banked
$5,500,
but don't worry, Kenya and Shayla,
there's plenty of time to get some cash. Okay,
it's time to play Super Lingo!
[audience cheering, applause]
Now, your Super Lingo is
ten letters long and worth a possible
$5,000.
[cheering]
You'll get a clue
and just ten seconds
to find the answer.
The faster you buzz in, the more you can win,
but, remember, my darlings,
if you get it wrong,
your opponents can steal.
Here's an example.
[RuPaul reading]
And the answer is...
-Undercover. -Undercover.
That's right.
Now, you can't play Super Lingo
without my...
-lucky balls. -[audience cheering]
Okay. Now,
a gold Money Ball can bank you
an extra $100,
$500, or
-$1,000. -[audience cheering]
A white Letter Ball
will give you an extra letter.
Now, Kenya and Shayla,
-what's it gonna be? -A Money Ball.
-Hey! -[audience cheering]
Okay, here we go.
-AUDIENCE: Ooh! -RUPAUL: A girl could get
lost in here.
[laughs]
$1,000.
That means
you've added another $1,000
to your Super Lingo.
Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Time starts now.
-H. -[buzzer sounds]
Oh, okay, straight in there.
-What's your answer? -Helicopter.
RUPAUL: Let's see if the answer
is helicopter for $6,000.
Whoa. [cheers]
Wow.
$6,000 in your bank,
and you are now in the lead.
[audience cheering, applause]
[laughs]
All right, Susan and Regina,
it is your turn. A Money Ball
or a Letter Ball.
Letter Ball.
Letter Ball. Okay.
Okay.
O-Oh. Here. This is the one.
It's a four,
which means you've got the fourth
letter for your Super Lingo.
Okay.
[RuPaul reading]
Let's see what that fourth letter is.
S. Fingers on buzzers,
and time starts now.
-[buzzer sounds] -RUPAUL: Okay. For $5,000,
what's your answer?
Flashlight, Ru.
RUPAUL: Okay, let's see
if flashlight is the correct answer.
Hey!
[audience cheering]
[laughs]
-That's my kid. -Yeah.
So, Susan and Regina,
you've got $10,500.
Kenya and Shayla,
you've got $8,500.
The team that banks the most money will advance
to the Lingo Showdown later
tonight, where you'll be playing for
tonight's total jackpot.
To decide who,
it's time for the Lingo Battle!
[audience cheering, applause]
Now, so far,
you've been solving Lingos together,
but now, you're Lingo-ing it alone, darling.
-[audience laughs] -RUPAUL: One of you will be playing
five-letter Lingos, and the other will be playing--
are you ready for this?--
six-letter Lingos.
[cheering]
Lingo Battle is all about
controlling the grid.
Find a new green letter,
and you stay in control.
No new green means the other team
takes control, and that could be crucial
because, baby, we are doubling
all the money.
[audience cheering, applause]
RUPAUL: So,
those Golden Guesses
are now worth $10,000.
[audience cheering, applause]
So, who's playing the five-letter
Lingos, and who's playing
the sixes?
Shayla's playing fives,
and I've been forced to play six.
-[laughter] -RUPAUL: Oh.
I'm playing fives, she's playing sixes.
Well, I can't wait to see how this turns out.
Regina and Shayla,
take your positions.
[applause]
Now, Shayla, you're currently
behind, so you're up first.
Your five-letter Lingo begins with...
C. Time starts now.
Cheat. C-H-E-A-T.
RUPAUL: Mm, no new green. Over to Regina.
Cough. C-O-U-G-H.
RUPAUL: Back to Shayla.
Time's running out.
Cards, C-A-R-D-S.
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.
[stammers] Cands. C-A-N-D-S.
RUPAUL: Mm, mm.
Not a word.
Back to Regina.
No. Can't think of it.
RUPAUL: Oh...
Out of time. Let's see what that word was.
Candy.
RUPAUL: Candy.
Don't worry, Regina,
you're up next.
Your five-letter Lingo begins with...
O. Your time starts now.
Orate. O-R-A-T-E.
RUPAUL: No new green. Over to Shayla.
Opera. R...
O-P-E-R-A.
RUPAUL: No new green. Back to Regina.
Overt. O-V-E-R-T.
RUPAUL: Back to Shayla.
Time's running out.
Ooh, out of time. Back to Regina.
Olive. O-L-I-V-E.
RUPAUL: Oh, no, not olive.
Let's see what that word was.
Offer.
-It's tough. -Yeah, it's easy
-after it comes up. -[laughter]
Let's switch positions.
[sighs] All right, good luck, Mom.
[audience cheering, applause]
Kenya, you're behind, so you'll be going first.
Your first six-letter Lingo
begins with... M.
Your time starts now.
Minute. M-I-N-U-T-E.
RUPAUL: No new green. Over to Susan.
Mouths. M-O-U-T-H-S.
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.
Mortar. M-O-R-T-A-R.
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.
Mentor. M-E-N-T-O-R.
RUPAUL: Over to Kenya.
Meteor. M-E-T-E-O-R.
RUPAUL: It wasn't meteor. Let's see what it is.
-Master. -Oh.
[applause]
Susan, you're up next.
-Yes. -RUPAUL: Your six-letter Lingo
begins with...
...V.
Your time starts now.
Violet. V-I-O-L-E-T.
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.
Volume. V-O-L-U-M-N.
RUPAUL: Spelled incorrectly. Over to Kenya.
Valued. V-A-L-U-E-D.
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.
Valley. V-A-L-L-E-Y.
-RUPAUL: Hey! -[audience cheering, applause]
$3,000 in your bank.
Okay, rejoin your teammates.
This is your last chance
to make it through to the Lingo Showdown, and
you'll be playing a Super Lingo
worth up to $10,000.
[audience cheering, applause]
And, I got to tell you,
it's a close one because there's only
$1,000 between you, so
the heat is on.
Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Your time starts now.
K.
-[buzzer sounds] -RUPAUL: Oh.
Susan and Regina,
for $10,000
and a place in the Lingo Showdown,
what's your answer?
Kindergarten.
RUPAUL: For $10,000,
let's see if kindergarten is the answer.
Hey!
[audience cheering, applause]
RUPAUL: Well done.
That means you are through to the Lingo Showdown
at the end of the night, where you'll be playing
for all the money banked by the finalists tonight.
Plus an added $50,000 in the jackpot,
which brings the current pot
to $70,500.
We'll see you both later.
Now, unfortunately,
that means we have to say goodbye
to Kenya and Shayla, who leave empty-handed.
I hope you had a lot of fun.
BOTH: We did.
When we come back, two new teams
will get their Lingo on. We'll see you in a few minutes.
Welcome back to Lingo,
where two new teams are hoping to turn simple words
into a massive payday.
-[audience cheering, applause] -Ooh!
So let's meet them.
It's married couple Marlie and Anthony.
[audience cheering, applause]
RUPAUL: And friends Mark and John.
-[audience cheering, applause] -[laughs]
Marlie, I got to say, you look like a young Donna Summer.
Oh, really? Thank you.
Have people ever said that to you before?
Um, I haven't gotten that yet.
I wish I could sing like her, but I can't. [laughs]
All right. Now, Anthony,
you wrote a children's book
-about your dog? -Yes.
What the book called?
It's called Boomer Tales.
It was based off our dog Boomer.
So, did Boomer get any
of the royalties from this book?
Well, Boomer's dad didn't get many royalties from this book.
[laughter]
RUPAUL: Welcome, Mark and John.
Tell me a little bit about yourselves.
-Let's start with Mark. -I'm, uh,
from Northport, Alabama, and I'm a...
[cheering]
I'm a physical therapy assistant with Druid City Hospital.
You all play softball
for a softball league. Uh,
who's the better hitter?
There is a reason that I lead off
and hit first.
Is that an inside joke that I should know about?
-[laughter] -It means I'm better. -RUPAUL: Okay.
And then, John, where you from?
I'm from Cottondale, Alabama, so I'm only just 15 minutes
-from him. -[cheering]
Now, when I think of Alabama,
I think about food.
You have good food?
Oh, yeah. Meat and threes, barbecue,
fried catfish, fried okra.
You're not gonna go hungry in Alabama.
Oh, my goodness. I love that.
Well, good luck to both our teams.
Let's play Lingo.
[audience cheering, applause]
First up, you'll be
playing three five-letter Lingos.
Marlie and Anthony, you're up first.
Your first five-letter Lingo begins with...
B. Your time starts now.

RUPAUL: Mm, that L's still there.
-Oh, you got something? -Elate.
E-L-A-T-E.
So, the E-- the L's at the end.
Got to be at the end.
Is "email" a word?
Email? E-M-A-I-L.
-RUPAUL: Hey! -[cheering]
[laughter]
RUPAUL: Another $1,000
in your bank.
Well done.
Your third five-letter Lingo begins with...

We've got some great players in the house.
Six out of six, not bad at all.
[audience cheering, applause]
So, Marlie and Anthony
have banked $3,500, but
in the lead are Mark and John with
$5,000.
[audience cheering, applause]
Up next,
it's the ten-letter Super Lingo.
Lingo big
or go home, honey.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back to Lingo, the O.G. word game.
-[audience laughs] -RUPAUL: Now, we're giving you the chance
to boost those numbers.
Yes, you heard me right.
It's time to play Super Lingo.
[audience cheering, applause]
You can't play Super Lingo without my...
...lucky balls.
[audience cheering, applause]
Hey.
Whoo!
All right.
Mark and John, we'll start with you.
Would you like a Money Ball,
or would you like a Letter Ball?
We'll go with the Letter Ball.
Whew.
AUDIENCE: Ooh...
You get the fourth letter
for your Super Lingo.
All right.
Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Now, let's see that fourth letter.
All right, it's D.
Time starts now.
W.
Wonderland. D-E-R-L-A...
-Yes. -[buzzer sounds] -Oh. I heard a buzzer.
-Wonderland. -RUPAUL: Let's see if
the answer, for $4,000,
is "wonderland."
-RUPAUL: Hey! -[audience cheering, applause]
-There you go. -$4,000
in your bank. That was well done.
Okay, Marlie and Anthony,

Ru, we're gonna go with the Letter Ball.

RUPAUL: N. T.
R.
-[buzzer sounds] -RUPAUL: Oh, heard a buzzer.
-Um... -RUPAUL: All right, what is your answer?
Print press.
Let's see if print press
is up there.
It is not.
Okay, so, Mark and John, that means it's your chance to steal.
-Your time starts now. -[buzzer sounds]
-What's the answer? -Paintbrush.
Yes, it is.
For $1,000.
A fantastic steal.
At the end of that, Marlie and
Anthony have $3,500, but Mark
and John are in the lead with $10,000.
[audience cheering, applause]
Now, after the break, our two teams will go head-to-head
and toe-to-toe in the Lingo Battle.
Stay with us to find out
who will earn the second spot
in tonight's Lingo Showdown.
Don't nobody Lin-go nowhere.
Welcome back to Lingo, where word on the street is
somebody's going home with
a whole lot of money, honey.
-Ok... [laughs] -[audience cheers]
And I like the sound of that. Now,
Mark and John, you're in the lead
with $10,000.
Marlie and Anthony, you have
$3,500, but there's still
everything to play for.
Only one of you can make it through
to the Lingo Showdown at the end of the night.
Now, to decide who goes through, it's time for
the Lingo Battle.
[audience cheering, applause]
Okay, so who's
playing five-letter Lingos, who's playing six?
I'm playing the fives. Mark's going to the six.
Anthony's gonna play fives. I'm gonna play sixes.
RUPAUL: All right, Anthony
and John, you're up first.
Please take your positions.
Now, Anthony, you are currently behind, so you will go first.
Your five-letter Lingo
begins with... D,
and your time starts now.
Time's running out.
Deary. D-E-A-R-Y.
RUPAUL: No new green. Over to John.
Douse. D-O-U-S-E.

[audience cheering, applause]
Yes, we went all around the globe
before we got there for $3,000
- in the bank. Okay. -[laughs]
Let's swap places,
-shall we? -Yes.
RUPAUL: Marlie and Mark,
you are now playing
six-letter Lingos.

Mark, you're up next. Your six-letter
Lingo begins with... S.
Time starts now.
Satire. S-A-T-I-R-E.
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.
Stained. S-T-A-I-N...
Ah... E-D. Too many letters.
Mm.
RUPAUL: That's not a word. Over to Marlie.
Um...
Sailer. S-A-I-L-E-R.
-RUPAUL: Oh, new green. Stays with you. -Oh. All right.
Sailor. S-A-I-L-O-R.
RUPAUL: All right, correct
for $3,000.
Two different spellings of sailor, they're both correct.
All right, rejoin your teammates.
All right, now, this is your last chance to make it through
to the Lingo Showdown,
and you'll be playing a Super Lingo
worth up to $10,000.
[cheering]
RUPAUL: Okay, there's $9,500
between you, so it's now or never. Here we go.
Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Your time starts now.
-[buzzer sounds] -RUPAUL: C. Oh.
-Marlie and Anthony. -Confidential.
RUPAUL: Okay, let's see.
For $10,000
and a place in the Lingo Showdown,
is it "confidential"?
[cheering]
Oh, my God!
RUPAUL: That means you are
through to the Lingo Showdown
with $16,500
in your bank.
That was amazing.
Sadly, we have to say goodbye
to Mark and John.
You've been wonderful. Thank you for playing
-our game. -Thank you for having us. -Thank you.
Marlie and Anthony, you'll be playing for
tonight's total bank, which is now
$87,000,
against tonight's first winning team,
Susan and Regina.
And that Lingo Showdown is coming up right after the break,
so do not miss this, baby. [laughs]
Welcome back.
It's time for the Lingo Showdown.
[cheering]
Now, four teams came to play.
Two remain.
Only one can win the jackpot.
Playing tonight are
Susan and Regina...
[audience cheering, applause]
...and Marlie and Anthony.
Let's bring them back.
[audience cheering, applause]
RUPAUL: Okay, my dears,
this is where it gets serious.
Now, you are playing
for all the money you've both
banked tonight, plus an added
$50,000,
for a grand total
of $87,000!
[audience cheering, applause]
RUPAUL: Now, only
one team can bring home the jackpot.
The other will leave with nothing.
-AUDIENCE: Aw... -RUPAUL: So,
how would you spend the money?
Well, it's our ten-year wedding anniversary very soon,
so we're gonna take an extravagant trip
to celebrate our love.
RUPAUL: That's fabulous.
And how would y'all spend the money?
Well,
I taught the Holocaust to my eighth graders
for many, many years,
and I've always wanted to go see Anne Frank's House in Holland.
And that's where I want to go.
I love that.
[audience cheering, applause]
RUPAUL: I love that.
I want to wish both teams
good luck because
it's time for the Lingo Showdown.
[audience cheering, applause]
Here's how it works,
you get two minutes to solve as many
five and six-letter
Lingos as possible.
Solve a five-letter Lingo,
and you get five points.
Solve a trickier six-letter Lingo,
and you get ten points. Now, you can
pass at any time, and
the team with the most points wins.
Now, Susan and Regina,
you banked the most money, so
you get to decide who goes first.
Anthony and Marlie can go first.
RUPAUL: All right.
Marlie, Anthony, are you ready?
-Oh, yeah. -Yes.
Can we have two minutes on the clock, please.
First up,
a five-letter word that begins with...
M. Time starts now.

RUPAUL: Oh, out of time, out of time.
-Oh, my gosh, that was horrible. -It's all good.
-Oh, God. -RUPAUL: Let's see what that word was.
Absent.
At the end of that, you got
five points.
How you feeling?
-Not good. -Not too good, yeah.
Especially when that timer starts going.
-Yeah. -RUPAUL: It's very tough.
Okay, Susan and Regina, it's crunch time.
$87,000 on the line,
and that's life-changing money.
Can we have two minutes on the clock, please?
Now, the score to beat
is five.

but congratulations
to Susan and Regina.
$87,000!
How are you feeling right now?
I'm gonna see Anne Frank's House.
RUPAUL: Yes, you are.
You did it.
What a night
for us here at Lingo.
We're the show that always has the last word,
and here's mine: good night, everybody.
