ANNOUNCER: It's time to get your Lingoon.
First up tonight, our returning champs,
teachers Ashley and Jessica.
[cheering]
They'll face in-laws Stephanie and Denise.
But now make some noise for your host,
the one and only RuPaul!
[cheers and applause]
-Okay. -[cheering]
Hey.
[laughs]
Hello and welcome to Lingo.
We're all about guessing words
and snatching moolah.
You know how we do.
[cheers and applause]
Tonight, four teams will take on the Lingogrid.
And our first two teams are ready to go.
[cheering and applause]
Whoo!
Now, the two teams that bank the most money
in each round will face off in the Lingo Showdown
at the end of the night where one duo
will walk away with both teams' winnings,
plus an added $50,000 jackpot.
-[cheering] -Yes.
[RuPaul laughs]
And they'll have the chance
to move on to the next show
to defend their title.
Let's Lingo!
[cheers and applause]
-Let's Lingo! -Let's Lingo!
Ah.
Here's how it works.
This is a Lingogrid.
Now, you'll be shown the first letter of a word.
All you have to do is guess that word.
A correct letter turns green,
a correct letter in the wrong place turns yellow.
Now, each time you find a Lingo, we'll add money to your bank.
Got it?
Yeah.
RUPAUL: Now, get it right on your first try,
that's a Golden Guess.
And you instantly bank $5,000.
-[cheers and applause] -[RuPaul laughs]
Wow.
A second guess is $2,500,
a third guess is $2,000,
all the way down to $1,000.
Now, if you run out of time or cannot solve your Lingo,
the other team can steal.
-Ugh. -[laughter]
So, what are we waiting for? Let's play Lingo!
[cheers and applause]

-Okay. -[cheering]
Now, what's going to happen is you'll get a clue
and just ten seconds to answer.
The faster you buzz in, the more you can win.
But remember...
if you get it wrong, your opponents can steal.
And you do not want that.
Okay, "This answer is laid first."
-[gasps] -The answer is...
"Groundwork."

Now, you can't play Super Lingo
without my lucky balls!
Bring 'em on!
[cheering and applause]
Oh, my God!

[laughs]
All right, my lovers...
[laughter]
...what we have here are two sets of balls.
A gold money ball could bank you
an extra $100, $500 or $1,000.
A white letter ball will give you an extra letter.
Stephanie and Denise, let's start with you.
What would you like? A money ball or a letter ball?

You got the second letter.
Here's your clue.

That is crazy. [laughs]
But remember, my dears, the team with the most money in the bank
will make it through to the Lingo Showdown
and play for that jackpot.
Who's it going to be?
Well, let's find out in the Lingo Battle.

Now, will one of you will be playing five-letter Lingos,
the other will be playing six-letter Lingos? Ahh!
-[laughs] Oh, my God! -[cheers and applause]
Now, a Lingo Battle is all about controlling the grid.
Find a new green letter and you stay in control.
Now no green means the other team takes control.
And that could be crucial because, baby,
we are doubling the money, uh-huh.

Back to Drew.
Ionics?
I-O-N-I-C-S.
Back to Andy.
Watch that timer.
Issues. I-S-S-U-E-S.
It's not "issues."
We were having some issues.
But let's see the answer.
Island!
At the end of that round,
JP and Andy have $7,500.
Drew and Olivia have $19,500.
Rejoin your teammates.
All right, now this is your last chance
to make it through to the Lingo Showdown.
And it all comes down to this.
A Super Lingo worth up
to $15,000.
[cheering and applause]
So here we go, here's your clue.
"Get the message with this answer."
Time starts now. N.
A...
What's your answer?
Neurological, but...
that's obviously not there.
All right, is it neurological?
-[buzzer sounds] -No.
It's not.
That means, Drew and Olivia,
you get the remaining time..
Starts now.
C.
T.
Okay, I hear a buzzer. What do you say?
-Notification. -"Notification."
All right, for $5,000,
and a place in the Lingo Showdown,
is "notification" up there?
We did it, we did it. Let's go!
RUPAUL: Yes, it is!
Wow, well done.
Aw, now that means
we have to say goodbye.
JP and Andy, you've been fantastic.
-Give them a big round of applause. -Thank you.
-[cheering and applause]
But, Drew and Olivia,
you've banked $24,500.
-[cheering, applause] -You're moving on into the Lingo Showdown,
where you'll be facing off
against our defending champions Ashley and Jessica
for a grand total of...
-$102,500. -[cheering and applause]
-Whoo! -That's the highest Lingojackpot ever.
And the winners have the chance to move on
to the next show to defend their title.
Baby, you do not want to miss this!
Come on back!

♪
Welcome back. It's time for the Lingo Showdown!
[cheering and applause]
Four teams came to play.
Two remain.
Only one can win the jackpot.
Playing tonight, our defending champions Ashley and Jessica
and Drew and Olivia!
[cheering and applause]
Who's got what it takes?
Let's bring 'em back!
-♪ -[cheering and applause]
Okay, kids,
this is where it gets serious.
You're playing to win a grand total of $102,500.
-JESSICA: Oh, my God! -[cheering, applause]
What?
RUPAUL: Now, only one team
can take home the jackpot.
And they'll have the chance to move on to the next show
to defend their title.
Here's how it works--
you'll get two minutes to solve
as many five-letter Lingos as possible.
You can pass at any time.
And the team with the most correct Lingos wins.
Ashley and Jessica,
you've banked the most money,
so you get to decide who goes first.
-We would like to go second. -[laughs]
RUPAUL: All right. Drew and Olivia,
-are you ready? Okay. -Ready as I'll ever be.
Can we have two minutes on the clock, please?
