ANNOUNCER: It'sLingo time.
Up first tonight,
they're the brand-new champs,
it's exes Savannah and Kyle.
They'll face mother and daughter
Susan and Elizabeth.
But now, he's smartly dressed
and a vocabulary to match,
it's your host RuPaul!
Hey!
Whoo!
Hello, and welcome to Lingo,
where words can win you some serious coinage.
Oh, yeah!
Tonight four teams will take on the Lingo grid,
and our first two teams
are ready to go.
[cheers and applause]
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]
And they'll have the chance to move on to the next show
and defend their title.
Let's Lingo!
[laughs]
Okay.
Here's how it works.
This is a Lingo grid.
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.
Each time you find a Lingo, we'll add money to your bank.
Got it? Now, if you get it right
on the first try,
that's a Golden Guess.
And that instantly banks you $5,000.
-[cheers and applause] -Yeah.
A second guess is $2,500,
a third, $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.
[audience oohing]
Let's play Lingo!
[cheers and applause]
You'll be playing three five-letter Lingos each.
Now, Savannah and Kyle,
you've already won
$93,500, and that's yours to keep.
Yes.
Are you ready to win even more?
-Yeah. -Uh-huh.
Your first five-letter Lingo begins with...
D. Time starts now.
Doing. D-O-I-N-G.
RUPAUL: I and the N in the wrong place.
Diner. D-I-N-E-R.
Hmm.
Drink. D-R-I-N-K.
Drain. D-R-A-I-N.
-RUPAUL: There you go. -Nice.
-[applause and cheering] -$1,500 in your bank.
All right, your second five-letter Lingo begins with...
R. Time starts now.
Ready. R-E-A-D-Y.
Rammed. R-A-M-E-D.
All right, that was a wrong spelling.
Susan and Elizabeth, you have a chance to steal.
Time starts now.

RUPAUL: Hmm.
Elizabeth?
Ready. R... No. Sorry. No.
Out of time.
Let's see what that word is.

five-letter Lingo begins with...

-Hmm. -RUPAUL: Watch that clock. -Just do it.
Infer. I-N-F-E-R.

Hmm.

RUPAUL: H is in the correct place.
Chins. C-H-I-N-S?
Chive? C-H-I-V-E?
RUPAUL: One more try.
Chies? C-H-I-E-S.
-[audience groans] -Not a word,
which means Savannah and Kyle can steal.
Time starts now.
Uh, do chi...
[speaking quietly]
-Try it. -Uh, chide, C-H-I-E-D?
-[audience sighs] -It's the wrong spelling.
Let's see what this word is.
-Chief. -Ah.
-SUSAN: Yup. -Yeah. -So, Susan and Elizabeth,

starts with... G. Time starts now.
Going. G-O-I-N-G?

Well, at the end of that round,
Savannah and Kyle have $1,500,
but Susan and Elizabeth are ahead with $5,000.
-[applause] -After the break,
we've got bigger words, bigger money.
-Honey, I'm talking $20,000. -[audience gasping]
Who will Lingo the distance?
Find out next.
-♪ -[applause]
Welcome back to the OG word game.
Now, Savannah and Kyle,
you're going for your second win in a row.
Now, Kyle, you still do crowd-surfing.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, going to concerts,
and, you know, throwing yourself up there.
And, you know, I've stage-dove a couple times.
-I've broke my toe. -Oh, my goodness.
Did you have to immediately go to the hospital?
-No, I didn't know it. I just... -Oh, you didn't know.
-Just kept going. -Because you were too drunk.
-[laughter] -For my mom, no.
[laughter]
Well, good luck tonight.
-Thank you. -Now, Elizabeth,
you can play the ukelele behind your head.
I can. It's something that a lot of people don't know about me
'cause I randomly picked it up during COVID.
What else can you play behind your head?
-The flute. -[laughter]
-I'm kidding. Nothing else. -[laughter]
Now, we're giving you a chance to really boost
your bank balance.
Time to play...
Super Lingo!
-[RuPaul laughs, whoops] -[applause]
I love it!
Now, you cannot play Super Lingo
without my... Lucky Balls.
-♪ -[applause and cheering]
[rhythmic clapping]
Yes, my Lucky Balls.
[laughing]
A gold Money Ball could bank you an extra
$100, $500 or $1,000,
while a white Letter Ball will give you an extra letter.
So, Susan and Elizabeth, what would you like?
-A Letter Ball. -Okay, we'll see what we can do.
-Think this is a good one. -Ooh!
The second letter. Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
All right, let's see that second letter.
O. Okay, time starts now.
W.
E. E.
K.
P.
-What do you say? -Woodpecker.
For $2,000, is "woodpecker" up there?
Yes, it is.
-[Susan laughs] -$2,000 added to your bank.
All right, Savannah and Kyle, what tickles your fancy?
-A Letter Ball. -RUPAUL: You want a Letter Ball.
Let me dig around in here, and... Oh, I think this one's
the one you need here-- the ninth letter.
[RuPaul reading]
All right, let's see that ninth letter.
N. All right, time starts now.
P.
U.
G. L.
Y.
All right, what say you?
-Playground. -All right.
For $2,000, is "playground" up there?
Yes, it is.
-Nice. -$2,000
-added to your bank. -[applause]
Simple as that.
Okay, kids, we're going again.
Only this time, your Super Lingo will be 11 letters long.
-[audience oohs] -Susan and Elizabeth,
-what's it gonna be this time? -A Letter Ball, please.
Letter Ball. Here we go. The fourth letter.
Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Let's see that fourth letter.

time starts now.
T.
O.
N.
A. T.
All right,
what do you say?
-Train station? -All right.
-[whispers] -For $2,000,

No, it is not.
Savannah and Kyle, you have a chance to steal.
Time starts now. Okay. What do you say?
-Translation. -All right, for $2,000,
is "translation"
up there?
-Yes, it is! -[applause]
You're playing like champions.
All right, so, Savannah and Kyle, do you want
-a Money Ball or a Letter Ball? -We'll take a Letter Ball again.
-Thank you. -Yes. Spice it up.

The fifth letter. Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
All right, let's see that fifth letter.
C. Time starts now.
Oh. What do you say?
-Coincidence. -RUPAUL: All right, for $5,000,
is "coincidence" up there?
It is!
[laughing]: Oh, my God. Nice.
Our champion strikes again. Impressive.
So, Susan and Elizabeth, you have $7,000 in the bank,
but the champions have taken the lead again with $10,500.
-[applause] -The team with the most money in the bank
will make it to the Lingo Showdown
to play for that jackpot, but who's it gonna be?
Let's find out in the Lingo Battle.
-♪ -[applause and cheering]
All right, so far, you've been solving Lingos together,
but now, YOLO, you're going solo.
-[laughter] -One of you will be playing five-letter Lingos,
and the other will be playing six-letter Lingos!
-[laughter] -Yes!
The 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 the money.
-Yes. -[applause and cheering]
All right, so, Savannah and Elizabeth,
please take your positions.
[applause]
So, Elizabeth, you are currently behind,
so you're gonna go first, okay?
Your five-letter Lingo begins with...
S. Time starts now.
Shape. S-H-A-P-E.
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.
Spice. S-P-I-C-E.

-Good job. -RUPAUL: Great Lingo there.
All right, let's switch positions for six-letter Lingos.
[applause]
Kyle, now you're behind, so you'll go first.
All right, your six-letter Lingo begins with... U.
-Time starts now. -Uptake.
U-P-T-A-K-E.

Watch that clock.

Susan, you're up next.
Your six-letter Lingo begins with...
M. Time starts now.
Moment. M-O-M-E-N-T?
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.
Mother. M-O-T-H-E-R.
Of course, a mother would get that.
$5,000. Rejoin your teammates for one final battle.
-Good job. -[applause]
Okay, my darlings, this is your last chance
to make it to the Lingo Showdown.
Now, to decide who moves on,
you'll play a Super Lingo worth up to $15,000.
-[applause and cheering] -We will.
RUPAUL: Yeah. Here we go. Fingers on buzzers.
Here is... your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Time starts now. O.
T. D.
All right.
Savannah and Kyle, what's your answer?
Orthodontist.
For $10,500, is "orthodontist" up there?
Yes, it is!
-[applause and cheering] -Yes, it is.
Unfortunately, that's not enough
to catch Susan and Elizabeth, so,
sadly, we have to say goodbye.
-Aw. -Good-good job.
RUPAUL: But, listen, kiddos.
You don't go away empty-handed.
-You still have your $93,500 from the last time. -Yeah!
-[applause] -[whooping]
Susan and Elizabeth, well done.
You're through to the Lingo Showdown,
where you'll be playing
for all the money banked by both winning teams,
-plus an added $50,000... -[audience gasping]
...which puts the current pot at...
$74,000.
-[RuPaul laughs] -[applause and cheering]
Now, don't forget, the last team standing will move on
to the next show for a chance
to win more money and defend their Lingo crown.
So you better watch out. See you in a minute.

Welcome back to Lingo,where two new teams are ready to go,
but only one of them can make it through
to the Lingo Showdown to face Susan and Elizabeth.
So let's meet our new teams.
It's school counselors Bianca and Sylvester
and married couple Paula and Philip.
-[applause and cheering] -Hey. [laughs]
Sylvester, how did you two meet?
Uh, we actually met, um...
Bianca actually threw a gathering
for graduate students, um, in Pittsburgh.
We just became studying partners and finished up school together.
You know, you kind of look,
and you have the voice of Barry White.
-Have people said that to you? -[laughter]
Yes, I've heard a couple times.
Now, Paula and Philip, welcome to the show.
-Thank you. -Thank you. Delighted to be here.
Now, Paula, apparently
you and I went to the same high school.
-We did, in Atlanta, Georgia. -What school is that?
Northside School of the Performing Arts.
-That's right. -That's right. -[applause]
-Well, welcome. -Why, thank you.
Now, Philip is your husband. Philip was a passenger
on a plane when Paula was the flight attendant,
and you were annoying?
Um, I had... coming back from Las Vegas.
Parenthetically, just won quite a bit of money.
-RUPAUL: Okay. -So I was looking for an upgraded seat.
-Okay. -I humble-bragged that I was a pilot,
and that, like...
-lead balloon. -[RuPaul laughs]
And so, for the rest of the flight,
I suffered her cold shoulder.
But in the end we ended up getting together,
and six months later engaged,
and we've been married for about 135 years now.
-[laughing] -[applause]
I love it. Well, welcome to the show
-and good luck to all of you. -Yes. -Thank you.

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.
[whooping, cheering]
-[whoops] -Okay.
So here we go. Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
All right. Time starts now.

O.
S.
T.
-Oh... -Oh, wow.
RUPAUL: Out of time. Let's see what it is.
That was a tough one.
-Breaststroke. -Breaststroke.
-That's a tough one. -RUPAUL: Breaststroke.
That is a shame.
But good news for Bianca and Sylvester,
you're moving on
to the Lingo Showdown.
-[applause and cheering] -Up top.
Let's go.
Of course, sadly,
that means we have to say goodbye
to Paula and Philip.
You've been great. I've enjoyed having you here.
Bianca and Sylvester,
you've banked $14,000.
You're heading into the Lingo Showdown
where you'll face our first winning team,
Susan and Elizabeth, for a grand total of...
...$88,000.
And the winning team have
the chance to move on to the next show
to defend their title.
And that showdown is coming up right after the break.
You do not want to miss it, baby.
[laughs]
-♪ -[applause]
Welcome back.
It's time for the Lingo Showdown!
Four teams came to play. Two remain.
Only one can win the jackpot.
Playing tonight are Susan and Elizabeth,
and Bianca and Sylvester.
Who will strike gold? Let's bring 'em back.
[applause and cheering]
♪ ♪
RUPAUL: Okay, kids.
This is where it gets serious.
You're playing for all the money you've both banked tonight,
plus an added $50,000.
That's a grand total of...
-$88,000. -[whooping]
Only one team can take home the jackpot.
The other will leave empty-handed.
Now, remember, one duo will move on to the next show
to defend their title.
So...
here's how it works.
You'll get two minutes to solve
as many five-letter Lingos as possible,
and you can pass at any time.
The team with the most correct Lingos wins.
Now, Susan and Elizabeth,
you've banked the most money,
so you get to decide who goes first.
We want to go first.
Can we have two minutes on the clock, please?

Unbelievably, Bianca and Sylvester
and Susan and Elizabeth

...which means it all comes down to a tiebreaker
Super Lingo.

and you win the jackpot.

[audience cheering]
-SUSAN: Sorry, guys... -RUPAUL: Bianca and Sylvester,
I'm so sorry.
You gave it your all. I hope you had a great time.
-Yes. -Absolutely.
But, Susan and Elizabeth,
you've just won $88,000, and you get to come back
for our next show and play all over again.
