[cheering and applause]
ANNOUNCER: Grab your dictionary,
'cause it'sLingo night.
First up, our brand-new champs,
Peter and Gino.
They're up against friends Natalie and Tenzin.
But now, please welcome your host.
He's a man of many words: RuPaul.
RUPAUL: Aw, yeah!
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Yeah.
Hello, and welcome to Lingo,
where small words can win you a whole lot of cash.
-[cheering and applause] -Yes, honey.
Tonight, four teams will take on the Lingo grid,
and our first two teams are ready to go.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[Tenzin laughs]
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 applause]
And they'll have the chance to move on
to the next show to defend their title.
Hey, guys, let's Lingo.
[cheering and applause]
♪ ♪
Here's how it works.
This is a Lingo grid.
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.
Get it right on the first try, that's a Golden Guess.
You instantly bank $5,000.
-Ooh! -Ooh!
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, so look alive.
What are we waiting for?
Let's play Lingo.
[cheering and applause]
Okay, kids, you'll be playing
three five-letter Lingos each.
Now, Peter and Gino,
you are our defending champions,
so you're up first.
Now, you've already won $110,100.
[cheering]
Are you ready to win some more?
-Yes! -Yes!
RUPAUL: Okay, good.
Your first five-letter Lingo
begins with T. Time starts now.
Uh, "tease."
T-E-A-S-E.
RUPAUL: Ooh, okay.
Uh, "trash." T-R-A-S-H.
Toast. T-O-A-S-T.
RUPAUL: There you go.

Aloud. A-L-O-U-D.
RUPAUL: Found the L.

Vague. V-A-G-U-E.
[Tenzin gasps] Mm-hmm.
RUPAUL: Hey!
[RuPaul laughs]
They were not vague about that.
All right. Three for three for our champions with $6,500.
I love how Natalie and Tenzin
are over there, "Ooh, aah!"
We're taking notes.
RUPAUL [laughing]: That's great.
All right, Natalie and Tenzin,
it's your turn.

RUPAUL: That's $2,000 in your bank.
All right.
Your second five-letter Lingo

[indistinct whispering]
-I got one. -Yeah.
Coast. C-O-A-S-T.
Okay.

-C-L-O-N-E. -Yeah.
Yeah.
-Oh! -[RuPaul laughs]
[chuckles] Not cloak. Um...
Yeah, "cloak." Just say "cloak".
Just say it. Just say it.
Um, cloak. C-L-O-A-K.
-Buy us some time. -Okay.
RUPAUL: One more try.
Cloud. Cloud.
No, what has an N in it?
Oh, no.
Cloud. C-L-O-U-D.
-Oh. -RUPAUL: Not "cloud."
That means,
-Peter and Gino... -You're welcome.
...your turn to steal.
Time starts now.
Uh, "clown." C-L-O-W-N.
RUPAUL: There you go.
No clowning around.
$1,000 for that steal.
Natalie and Tenzin,
your third five-letter Lingo

Watch that clock.

-Oh! -Oh!
Okay, okay.

RUPAUL: Watch that clock.
That's it.
RUPAUL: Oh, out of time.
Peter and Gino, you can steal. Time starts now.
Oaths. O-A-T-H-S.
Oh, not "oaths." Let's see what it is.
TENZIN: Oh, that' a good one, though.
RUPAUL: "Oasis."
-It's a double letter. -RUPAUL: "Oasis."
All right, well,
our champions are in the lead
with $7,500,
and our challengers
have $2,000 in the bank.
But it's still early, kids, so anything can happen.
Now, up next, we are raising the stakes.
Oh, Lingo, she better don't.
[cheering and applause]
Welcome back to Lingo,
the show that keeps you guessing, literally.
Okay, so, Gino,
they tell me you were a child actor.
Yeah, I grew up in the Philippines,
and my mom would take me to auditions,
so I ended up doing, like, several commercials.
-RUPAUL: Yeah. -And then they asked me,
"Okay, we want to put you in a movie."
But I was, like, six years old,
and I hated being made fun of at school,
so I said, "No, thank you."
Do you regret it today?
A little bit.
RUPAUL: Yeah. [laughs]
All right, now, Natalie and Tenzin,
you're friends.
Tenzin, that's a unique name.
Where's that come from?
Me and my family, we're Tibetan,
and the funny thing is, lots of people,
if they've never met a Tibetan person or a Himalayan person,
they're like, "Oh, wow, Tenzin, what a unique name."
But a lot of Tibetan Himalayan folks are "Tenzin."
-Oh. -So if you ever go to,
like, a Tibetan party and you're, like, looking for me,
you're going to want to call me by my middle name,
which is Dashi, because otherwise you're going to have,
like, 50% of the crowd look your way.
Oh, that's good to know, because I often find myself
at Tibetan parties.
[laughs] I'll give you the invite. We'll chill.
[RuPaul laughs]
Okay, kids, listen.
Now, we're going to give you a chance
to really boost your bank balance.
Yes, Mama.
It is time to play Super Lingo.
[cheering and applause]
You can't play Super Lingo without my Lucky Balls.
[cheering and applause]
-♪ -[rhythmic clapping]
[RuPaul sighs]
Now, a gold Money Ball
could bank you an extra $100, $500, or $1,000.
A white Letter Ball
will give you an extra letter.
Okay, so, Natalie and Tenzin, what would you like?
We'll be doing a Letter Ball, please.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, I've got one.
The fifth letter.
Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
All right, let's see that fifth letter.
N. All right,
time starts now.
-D. -Is it definition?
RUPAUL: Oh, okay.
All right, what say you?
I say "definition."
For $4,500, is "definition" up there?
[cheering]
All right, Peter and Gino,
I think I'm going to do a Letter Ball.
Okay, let's see
what we get. Oh, how about this one here?
The fifth letter. Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Now, let's see that fifth letter.
L. Time starts now.
I. Oh, okay. That was quick.
What say you?
Irrelevant.
For $5,000,
is "irrelevant" up there?
Yes.
TENZIN: Amazing.
RUPAUL: Wow.
Way to go.
Okay, kids, we're going to do this again,
only this time, your Super Lingo
will be 11 letters long.
So, Natalie and Tenzin,
what's it gonna be this time?
We'd like to do a Letter Ball, please.
Okay, let me see. Okay.
The ninth letter.
Does that mean anything to you?
It's the ninth letter.
-[laughter] -RUPAUL: Yes, it is.
All right, fingers on buzzers.
Here's your clue. [chuckles]
[RuPaul reading]
Let's see the ninth letter.
E. Time starts now.
E.
V.
N.
-Yeah. -RUPAUL: O.
All right,
what say you?
Environment.
All right, for $2,500, is "environment" up there?
[cheering]
TENZIN: Nature is healing!
RUPAUL: It certainly is.
"Environment." Mm.
Yes.
Okay. All right, Peter and Gino,
what's it going to be?
A Money Ball or a Letter Ball?
Think I'll take another Letter Ball.
All right, let's see what we get here.
I'm going to stir it up and see.
Ooh, the 11th letter.
-Ooh. -TENZIN: Ooh.
Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Let's see that 11th letter.
D. Time starts now.
S.
B.
All right, what say you?
Uh, "surfboard?"
RUPAUL: All right, for $4,500,
-is "surfboard" up there? -No.
It is not.
That means, Natalie and Tenzin,
you get the remaining time
starting now.
N.
O.
R.
I.
Oh, out of time.
All right, let's see what this is.
Springboard. -GINO: Springboard.
Oh, you were so close.
RUPAUL: Springboard.
So, at the end of that round, Natalie and Tenzin
have $9,000 in the bank,
and Peter and Gino have $12,500.
The team with the most money
will make it to the Lingo Showdown
at the end of the show for the jackpot, right?
So, who's it going to be?
Girl, you gonna find out in the Lingo Battle.
[cheering and applause]
All right, so far, you've been solving
Lingos together, but now, my darlings,
you're flying solo.
One of you will be playing five-letter Lingos,
the other will be playing six-letter Lingos.
Yes, yes, shocking.
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.
Uh-huh.
[cheering and applause]
So, those Golden Guesses are now worth $10,000.
Yeah.
A whole lot of zeros.
Okay, Gino and Tenzin,
you're up first. Please take your positions.
Okay, here we go.
Tenzin, your five-letter Lingo begins with U.
Time starts now.
Under, U-N-D-E-R.
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.
Udder, U-D-D-E-R.
RUPAUL: There you go. All right.
-[cheering] -$5,000 in your bank.
Way to go. Okay, Gino, you're up next.
Your five-letter Lingo begins with P.
Time starts now.
Pause, P-A-U-S-E.
[cheering and applause]
-Want to do a hip bump? -[RuPaul laughs]
Wow. You know what that means.
A Golden Guess worth $10,000.
[cheering]
Well, that's why you're the champions.
All right, let's switch positions
for six-letter Lingos.
All right, Natalie, you'll go first.
Your six-letter Lingo begins with H.
Time starts now.
Honey, H-O-N-E-Y.
Not enough letters. Over to Peter.
Uh, hoarse,
H-O-A-R-S-E.
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.
Uh, hoists, H-O-I-S-T-S.
RUPAUL: No new green. Back to Natalie.
Hotels, H-O-T-E-L-S.
RUPAUL: New green, still with you.
Time's running out.
Oh, out of time.
Let's see what it is.
-Honest. Honest. -Honest.
RUPAUL: Okay.
[applause]
Peter, you're up next.
Your six-letter Lingo begins with Q.
Time starts now.
Uh, let's do...
Uh, quaint, Q-U-A-I-N-T.
-Whoa! -[cheers and applause]
Get over here.
-[laughter and cheering] -RUPAUL: Wow!
Wow.
That is the first time we've ever had
two Golden Guesses in one Lingo Battle.
-[cheers and applause] -Amazing.
Okay, kids, rejoin your teammates
for one final battle.
Wow. Okay, my darlings. Next up,
you'll be playing Super Lingo worth up to $15,000.
[whooping]
Here we go.
Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Time starts now.
A.
P.
R.
O. T.
All right. I hear a buzzer.
Peter and Gino, what's your answer?
Aromatherapy.
All right. For $5,000
and a place in the Lingo Showdown again,
is "aromatherapy" up there?
-Yes, it is. -Wow! -[cheering]
Wow. $37,500 in your bank.
That is amazing.
Now, of course, sadly, we have to say goodbye
to Natalie and Tenzin.
You were wonderful. I hope you had a good time.
-We did. -We did. RUPAUL: Good, good.
-Bye. -[RuPaul laughs]
Peter and Gino, you're going through
to the Lingo Showdown for a second time.
You'll be playing for all the money banked
by both winning teams, plus an added $50,000,
which puts the current pot at...
...$87,500.
[cheering and applause]
Now, don't forget, the last team standing
will move on into the next show for a chance to win
more money and defend their Lingo crown.
See you in a few minutes.
[cheering and applause]
Welcome back to Lingo,
where two new teams are good to go,
but only one of them will make it through
to the Lingo Showdown to face defending champions
Peter and Gino.
So, let's meet our new teams.
It's professors Robin and Urmila
and partners Adam and Danny.
[cheering and applause]
Now, Robin, you know a Brazilian form
of martial arts. What's it called?
It's called capoeira.
Oh, is that the one where you're dressed in white
and you do that thing like that?
Yeah, when you enter the game,
you enter upside down and it can be...
It's a kicking art, and you can be on your feet
-or on your hands. -RUPAUL: Oh, my goodness.
And, Urmila, you work with Robin
at the University of Berkeley, is that right?
Yes, that's right.
Now, if you weren't a college professor,
what profession would you do?
I would probably be a hair and makeup artist.
-Really? -URMILA: Yes.
Now you're talking.
-That's lovely. -Thank you.
-Well, good luck tonight. -BOTH: Thank you.
-Adam and Danny, welcome to the show. -Hey, Ru.
-Thank you. -Adam, you're both educators.
-ADAM: We are. -And I know that you had
a very encouraging teacher when you were a kid.
-Is that right? -That's correct, yeah.
-What was that teacher's name? -Mrs. Schwartz.
-ADAM: Yes.
My favorite thing, Ru,
is that she actually played guitar for us.
-Oh. -And so we would all sit together, and she would
play like "Puff, the Magic Dragon."
-Yes. -And just wonderful memories that I thought,
when I become a teacher, that's what I want to do.
I want to have these memories for kids
that they'll have for a lifetime.
RUPAUL: That's lovely.
-Well, we are happy to have you here. -Thank you.
Let's play Lingo.
[cheering and applause]
First up, you'll be playing three five-letter Lingos each.
Now, Robin and Urmila, you're up first.

Incorrect spelling. All right, Adam and Danny,
you have a chance to steal.
Time starts now.
Young, Y-O-U-N-G.
RUPAUL: One more try.
[whispering]
Yuppy, Y-U-P-P-Y.
-Ah. -RUPAUL: Not yuppy.
Let's see what this word is.
Yummy.
Why yuppy?
RUPAUL: You were on the right track. On the right track.
We couldn't accept yo-yos because it has a hyphen in it.
-Oh. -Adam and Danny, it's your turn.
-All right. -Your first five-letter Lingo begins with S.

All right.
[applause]
Okay.
Your second five-letter Lingo

RUPAUL: Found an E.
-Leash, L-E-A-S-H. -Yeah.
Do it.
Hmm.
Least, L-E-A-S-T.
Let's get something up there.
-Yep, get something up there. -RUPAUL: Keeps you in the game.
-Lemon. -Lemon, L-E-M-O-N.
-[groans] -RUPAUL: One more try.
Leaps, L-E-A-P-S.
Good try.
RUPAUL: It's not "leaps."
So, Robin and Urmila, you can steal.
-Time starts now. -Go ahead?
Level, L-E-V-E-L.
Oh, level up. Level up is what you did.
All right, Adam and Danny,
your third five-letter Lingo begins with I.

Okay. Okay.
Icons, you think?
Icons, I-C-O-N-S.
-RUPAUL: There you go. -Good job.
$1,000 added to your bank.
Okay, so far, Robin and Urmila
have $2,500 in their bank,
but Adam and Danny are in the lead with $3,500.
Next, strap yourselves in for the long-awaited return
of my Lucky Balls.
They're coming right up.
[cheering]
[cheering and applause]
Welcome back to Lingo,
where we don't mince our words,
we guess 'em... for money.
You know, it's a close game.
Robin and Urmila have $2,500
and Adam and Danny have $3,500.
But that could all change
'cause we're giving both teams a chance
to boost their bank balance.
Yes, honey, it's time for the Super Lingo.
And you can't do that without my Lucky Balls.
Bring them on.
[cheering and applause]
-♪ -[rhythmic clapping]
All right.
Okay, now, Adam and Danny,
would you like a Money Ball or a Letter Ball?
-Ru, show us the Money Ball. -Money Ball.
-You want the Money Ball? -Yeah. Yep.
RUPAUL: Okay. All right.
I'm going to reach in here. Let me just see.
Oh, $500.

you can do with an 11-letter Super Lingo.
Am I blowing your mind?
[RuPaul laughs]
All right, Adam and Danny,
do you want a Money Ball or a Letter Ball?
-Money, Ru. Money. -Of course.
-That's why we're here. -[laughing]: Yes, that's right.
All right, fingers and toes, I get something really good.
-Okay, hopefully. -Cross them all. Cross them all.
-Oh, another $500. Great. -We'll take it.
All right, fingers on buzzers.
Here is your clue.

Yes, it is.
Good job, sweetie.
"Brainteaser."
-That was close. -Well done. Well done.
All right, Robin and Urmila,
what are you going to do this time?
Ru, we are going to stick with a Letter Ball.
-All right. -We're here for the letters.

Yes, it is.
Adam and Danny, you have $10,500.
Robin and Urmila, you have $10,500.
-Ooh. -[laughing]
My goodness. Well, who will move on
to face Peter and Gino in the Lingo Showdown?
Find out after the break
when our teams go head-to-head
and toe to toe in the Lingo Battle.
[cheering and applause]
Hey, welcome back to Lingo,
or as they say in Australia,
[Australian accent]: Lingogot my baby.
[laughter]
Now, this one's so hard to call because both teams
have banked $10,500.
But it's not over yet.
The team that banks the most money
will head straight into that Lingo Showdown.
Who's it going to be?
Well, there's only one way to find out.
Let's play the Lingo Battle.
[cheering and applause]
So far, you've been solving Lingos together,
but now, my darlings, you're going it on your own.
And don't forget, we are doubling the money.
So, those Golden Guesses
are now worth $10,000.
-Whoo! -Yes.
Lot of money. Oh, and by the way,
I do accept tips.
[laughter]
Okay, so Robin and Adam, you're up first.
Please take your positions.
Your five-letter Lingo begins with W.
Time starts now.
While, W-H-I-L-E.
RUPAUL: No new green. Over to Adam.
Witty, W-I-T-T-Y.
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.

-RUPAUL: No, I'm sorry. It stays with Adam. -I'm so sorry.
RUPAUL: Yeah.
Windy, W-I-N-D-Y.
[laughter]
[cheers and applause]
You're welcome.
-I'm so sorry. -It's all right.
[RuPaul laughs]
So sorry.
RUPAUL: Okay. All right.
Robin, you jumped in when it wasn't your turn
-and you gave the answer... -Yep.
...so we have to accept his answer.
Dem the rules.
[laughter]
All right, Adam, your five-letter Lingo

-$4,000 in your bank. -[laughs]
Danny, you're up next.
Your six-letter Lingo begins with D.
Time starts now.
Drinks, D-R-I-N-K-S.
RUPAUL: No new green. Over to Urmila.
Dinner, D-I-N-N-E-R.
RUPAUL: Back to Danny.
Hmm.
Detour, D-E-T-O-U-R.
RUPAUL: New green. Stays with you.
Detail, D-E-T-A-I-L.
-RUPAUL: There you go. -Yes! -Good job, baby.
RUPAUL: Well done.
And that ties you up again.
-[laughter] -We're so well matched.
Rejoin your teammates for one final battle.
[applause]
Okay, now, kids, 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]
We have got a tie on our hands,
which means it's anybody's game
at this point.
Okay, here is your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Time starts now.
Okay, Robin and Urmila.
Um...
Chalkboard.
RUPAUL: Out of time, unfortunately.
That means that Adam and Danny,
you get the remaining time.
Time starts now.
[whispering]
Oh. No, but it's not.
RUPAUL: All right, what say you?
Checkerboard.
For $3,500
and a place in the Lingo Showdown...
is "checkerboard" up there?
Yes, it is!
[cheering]
RUPAUL [laughing]: Yes, it is.
My goodness. Wow.
You guys have found your place into the Lingo Showdown.
Unfortunately, that means we have to say goodbye
to Robin and Urmila. I hope you had a good time.
-We had a great time. -An awesome time. -You were wonderful. Wonderful.
[cheering and applause]
All right, so, Adam and Danny,
you've banked $21,000.
So you're moving into the Lingo Showdown,
where you'll be facing off against
our defending champions, Peter and Gino,
for a grand total of...
...$108,500.
[cheering]
Remember, one duo will 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.
[cheering]
[cheering and applause]
Welcome back.
It's time for the Lingo Showdown.
[cheering]
Four teams came to play. Two remain.
Only one can win that jackpot.
Playing tonight are Peter and Gino and Adam and Danny.
Who's got what it takes to win?
Well, let's bring them back and find out.
[cheering and applause]
♪ ♪
This is where it gets serious.
You're playing to win all the money
you both banked tonight,
plus an added $50,000.
That's a grand total of...
$108,500.
[cheering and applause]
Now, only one team can take home the jackpot.
Peter and Gino, so far,
you've won $110,100.
If you win again,
you, tonight,
will take home $218,600.
Okay.
[cheering and applause]
All right, good luck to all of you.
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.
Now, Peter and Gino, you banked the most money,
so you get to decide who goes first.
We're going to let Adam and Danny go first.
-Thank you. -RUPAUL: Okay, game on.
Remember, there is $108,500 on the line.
All right.
Adam and Danny, are you ready?
-Let's do it. -Come on. -Okay.
Can we get two minutes on the clock, please?

RUPAUL: Oh, out of time. Out of time.
Let's find out what this word is.
Aware. That word was "aware."
-Well, at the end of that, you got three Lingos. -[blows raspberry]
How do you think you did?
-We gave it our best shot. -We could have done better.
[laughter]
-We're proud. -RUPAUL: That's right.
Good. Good.

Delirious.
-[laughter] -PETER: I just might cry.
RUPAUL: Oh, my. You will be my guest.
-You can cry if you want. -[laughs]
And you get to come back and play all over again.
I'm telling you, it pays to know your Lingo.
Tune in next time to find out if our champions
will defend their crown or will someone else
come and snatch it from them?
Until then, good night, everybody.
