ANNOUNCER: It'sLingo night.
Please welcome your host--
there aren't enough words to describe him--
it's RuPaul!
[cheering]
Hey!
Oh.
Hello, and welcome to Lingo, where if you say the magic word,
you can turn letters into cash, honey.
[RuPaul laughs]
Now, if you've been looking for your next word game,
well, baby, look no further than Lingo.
Here's how the game works.
Tonight, four new teams will tackle theLingo 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.
Now, this is a Lingo grid.
Our contestants will be shown the first letter of a word.
All they have to do is guess that word.
Simple, right? 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 guest.
Each time they find a Lingo will add money to their bank.
Fabulous.
Let's meet the first two teams.
It's friends Matthew and Derek
and brother and sister Loretta and Toyese.
Let's play Lingo!
Okay, first up, you'll be playing
three five-letter Lingos each.
Get it right on your first try,
well, that's a Golden Guess,
and you instantly bank $5,000.
A second guess is $2,500.
A third, $2,000.
All the way down to $1,000.
Now, remember, kids, you must say the word
and start to spell it
before the timer runs out.
Now, if you do run out of time or cannot solve your Lingo,
the other team can steal, my dears,
so you better look out. Yes.
Now, Matthew and Derek,
your first five-letter Lingo begins with A,
and your time starts now.
-Audio? -Yes.
Okay. Audio. A-U-D-I-O.
RUPAUL: Nothing there.
-Alert. A-L-E-R-T. -Uh, "alert."
A-L-E-R-T.
L, E in the wrong place.
Um...
-Ap-Apple. -Do it.
Apple. A-P-P-L-E.
Ooh, L and E in the right place.
Am-- Ample. A-M-P-L-E.
RUPAUL: One more try.
[gasps] Mm, no.
Aisle. A-I-S-L-E.
No. It's okay.
Ooh, it's not "aisle," which means
Loretta and Toyese,
it's your chance to steal.
Your time starts now.
All right, let's do "angle." A-N-G-L-E.
There you go.
You angled into that Lingo
very well. $1,000.
Matthew and Derek, your second
five-letter Lingo starts with R.
Your time starts now.
-Sure, do it. -Round. R-O-U-N-D.
N in the wrong place.
Right. R-I-G-H-T.
RUPAUL: I in the right place.
-Rinds. R-I-N-D-S. -Yes.
Rinds. R-I-N-D-S.
-Okay. -N in the right place.
Rinse. Rinse. R-I-N-S-E.
-There you go. -[laughs]
You are on the board with $1,500.
All right, your third
five-letter Lingo starts with N.
Time starts now.
-Noise? -Yes.
Okay. Noise. N-O-I-S-E.
E in the wrong place.
-Never? -Yeah, yeah.
Never. N-E-V-E-R.
Found the E in the right place.
Needy. N-E-E-D-Y.
Oh, yes. Hit it. Yes! Nice job!
$2,000. That gives you
a total of $3,500 in your bank.
Great start for you. Okay,
Loretta and Toyese,
your first five-letter Lingo begins with F.
Time starts now.
Um, let's do "flare." F-L-A-R-E.
R and E in the wrong place.
Let's go with "fresh." F-R-E-S-H.
R in the right place.
Let's go with "frost." F-R-O-S-T.
Nothing there.
Uh, let's go with "frame."
F-R-A-M-E.
Mm. One last try.
Fr-Fried?
Let's try "fried." F-R-I-E-D.
There you go.
$1,000.
Okay, your second
five-letter Lingo
starts with L. Time starts now.
-Lunch? Lunch? -Yeah.
Let's start with "lunch." L-U-N-C-H.
Okay, nothing there.
How about "later"? L-A-T-E-R.
Okay, E and the A.
-Lad? -Leaps?
What about "leaps"? L-E-A-P-S.
-Ooh! -Okay.
-Let's... -Uh... Let's go with "lease."

five-letter Lingo

Let's start with "water."

Oof.
How about "would"? W-O-U-L-D.
Hey!
-$2,500 in the bank. -Good call. Good call on that one.
All right, great start for you.
Matthew and Derek, you've banked
$3,500,
but in the lead are Loretta
and Toyese with $6,000.
All right. Coming up, it's the ten-letter Super Lingo.
And word to the wise,
you don't want to miss this, baby. [laughing]
♪ ♪
Welcome back to Lingo. We ain't no imitator, baby.
We are the originator. Word up.
So, Loretta and Toyese,
you've banked $6,000.
Matthew and Derek,
you've banked $3,500.
But don't worry, there's still plenty of time
to get some cash, and I believe in you.
[laughs]
So, Matthew and Derek, you're friends.
Matthew, what do you do for a living?
I'm a middle school choir teacher.
Oh, my goodness. Wow.
So, what do you tell the kids
who don't have any tone or pitch?
That it's a process. Like, don't give up.
-[laughs] -MATTHEW: You're here
because it is class, and I will teach you.
And, Derek, what do you do for a living?
I'm a contract specialist.
-You're a hit man. -Yes.
[laughs]
All right. Now, Loretta and Toyese.
-Hello. -Hi. -Hi.
[cheering, applause]
Hi.
You are brother and sister.
-That's correct. -And, Loretta, what do you do?
-I'm a nurse. Yes. -You're a nurse.
[laughs] Thank you.
Do you have children?
Yes, I have six children.
-Six children. -LORETTA: Yes. [laughs]
You didn't deliver them yourself?
No, we're a blended family.
Okay, great, great. And, Toyese,
is that your real voice
or are you trying to be extra butch for me?
[Toyese laughs]
Actually, I usually sound like this,
but I am able to, uh...
No, this is my actual voice, yeah.
Okay. Now, we're gonna give you a chance
to add some more zeros to that
bank account.
It's time to play Super Lingo!
Okay, now, your Super Lingo
is ten letters long and worth a possible
$5,000.
Now, you'll get a clue
and just ten seconds to find the answer.
The faster you buzz in the more you can win.
And remember, if you get it wrong, your opponents
can steal.
[reading]
Background. Just that simple.
Now, you cannot play Super Lingo
without my Lucky Balls.
[Loretta whoops]
Lucky Balls.
Here we have 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.
Loretta and Toyese, would you like
a Money Ball or a Letter Ball?
-We'll do a Money Ball. -RUPAUL: Money Ball.
Okay.
Okay, here we go.
Ooh.
I think this one here. Let's see what this is.
We will add $500 to your Super Lingo.
Okay? Let's see what your clue is.
[reading]
Your time starts now.
[reading]
Trampo...
-[buzzer sounds] -Oh, I heard a buzzer.
What's your answer?
"Trampoline"?
For $2,500,
is "trampoline" up there?
Yes, it is.
That's $2,500 added to your bank.
Let's move on over to Matthew and Derek.
How do you like your balls?
With letters on them.
[laughing]
Okay. Ooh.
I'm gonna choose this one. Let's see what it is.
Okay, you get
the fifth letter
on your Super Lingo.
Okay, here's your clue.
[reading]
[audience laughing]
Now let's reveal that fifth letter.
It's a B. Okay, your time starts now.
-[buzzer sounds] -RUPAUL: V. Oh, boy,
that was fast. Straightaway.
-What's your answer? -BOTH: Vocabulary.
For $5,000,
is "vocabulary" up there?
Yes, it is.
Wow.
$5,000.
-That means the scores are now tied. -[gasps]
Matthew and Derek, you've banked $8,500.
And Loretta and Toyese
have also banked $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.
Now, to decide who,
it's time for the Lingo Battle.
Okay, my little chickadees,
so far you've been solving Lingos together,
but now, you're going it alone.
One of you will be playing five-letter Lingos
and the other will be playing--
are you ready for this?--
six-letter Lingos.
Oh, yes. Did I blow your mind?
[imitates explosion]
Now, the... [laughs] the Lingo Battle
is about controlling the grid.
Find a new green letter and you stay in control.
No new green letter means the other team takes control.
And that could be crucial because, baby,
we are doubling all the money.
So, those Golden Guesses
are now worth $10,000.
Yep.
Okay, let's start with Matthew and Derek.
Who's playing fives, who's playing sixes?
-I'm playing fives. -I'm playing six.
Loretta and Toyese.
-Fives. -Sixes.
All right, Matthew and Loretta, you're up first,
so please take your positions.
All right, Matthew, my dear,
your five-letter Lingo
begins with S.

Let's try "shift." S-H-I-F-T.
RUPAUL: No new green. Back to Matthew.
Scour. S-C-O-U-R.
Not "scour." Let's find out what it was.
-Sugar. -Oh... should've got the sugar.
Okay, Loretta, your five-letter Lingo
begins with I.
Time starts now.
Let's start with "igloo." I-G-L-O-O.
No new green. Over to Matthew.
Imbue. I-M-B-U-E.
-Back to Loretta. -Ooh...

Oh, out of time.
Back to Matthew.

All right, you itched your way
to $3,000 in the bank.
And now you're in the lead. All right,

Okay, rejoin your teammates for one final battle.
Okay, my lovelies,
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.
Okay.
And, listen,
it's anybody's game because there's only
$4,000 between you.
Here's your clue.

Time starts now.

-Oh. -[buzzer sounds]
Loretta and Toyese, what's your answer?
-Prizefighter. -"Prizefighter"
for $2,000 and a place
in the Lingo Showdown,
is it "prizefighter"?
[laughs]
It certainly is,
which means,
Loretta and Toyese,

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,
which brings the current pot
to $67,500.
Now, Matthew and Derek,

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, 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, Loretta and Toyese, you've banked the most money,
so you get to decide who goes first or second.
Um, we'll go second.
All right, I want to wish both teams good luck.
