ANNOUNCER: It'sLingo night,
and we like to keep you guessing.
Please welcome your host, RuPaul.
[cheering, applause]
♪ ♪
[whoops]
Hello, and welcome to Lingo,
where if you're word-perfect, you could walk away
with thousands of dollars.
[cheering]
Here's how the game works.
Tonight, four new teams will tackle 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.
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 guess.
Each time they find a Lingo will add money to their bank.
Ooh, fabulous.
[cheering]
Okay, let's meet the first two teams.
Married couple Tim and Steff
and sisters-in-law Jessica and Danielle.
Let's play Lingo!
♪ ♪
First up, you'll be playing three five-letter Lingos each.
Get it right on your first try,
that's a golden guess,
and you instantly bank $5,000.
[cheering]
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.
If you do run out of time or cannot solve your Lingo,
the other team can steal, darling.
So you better watch out.
Now, Tim and Steff, you're up first.
-Are you ready? -Ready. -Let's go.
All right, your first five-letter Lingo
begins with B, and your time starts now.

Welcome back to Lingo.
Now, does this game look kind of familiar?
Well, it should, baby,
'cause we are the O.G. word game.
Okay?
So, Tim and Steff, what do you do for a living?
I'm an editor for a company called Aging Media Network.
-We have... -Wait, why did you look at me when you said that?
[laughing]
None of us is getting younger, Ru.
[laughs]
And, Steff, what do you do?
I'm a clinical psychologist, so I...
Why did you look at me when you said that?
[laughs]
-All of us could use therapy, Ru. -Yes.
No, listen, I've had almost 25 years of it,
so I think I should probably get a rebate at this point.
Danielle, you're also a therapist.
What made you want to become a therapist?
I love talking about emotions and teaching people
how to talk about it.
And starting young would be very helpful.
Jessica, do you have children?
-A lot. -I have five.
Do you ever let the children
get therapy from Auntie Danielle?
-No. -No!
[laughs]
Now, kids, let me tell you this.
We're gonna give you a chance to crank up that bank. Okay?
Because it's time to play Super Lingo!

Your Super Lingo is ten letters long
and worth a possible $5,000.

The faster you buzz in the more cash you win.

your opponents can steal.

"This answer has some unusual activity going on."
The answer here is "paranormal."

A white Letter Ball will give you an extra letter.
Jessica and Danielle, let's start with you.
-What's your preference? -We're gonna go Letter.
RUPAUL: Here I go.

but now, my darlings, one of you will be playing
five-letter Lingos
and the other will be playing six-letter Lingos.
-[audience oohing] -Uh-huh.
Now, the Lingo Battle is all 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, baby, that could be crucial,
because we are doubling all the money.

Welcome back. Baby, it's time for the Lingo Showdown.
[cheering]
Now, four teams came to play,
but only one can win the jackpot.
Playing tonight are Tim and Steff
and Ashley and Tony.
-[cheering, applause] -Let's bring 'em back.

This is where it gets serious, my darlings.
You are playing to win $80,500.
[cheering, applause]
Here's where it gets real.
Only one team can take home the jackpot,
and the other team will, sadly, leave with nothing.
Tim and Steff, how would you spend the money?
I think inflation's real,
so we'll maybe share some with friends and family.
-AUDIENCE: Aw. -Ashley and Tony, how would you spend the money?
Well, since our husbands didn't get to come with us here,
we're gonna take them on a trip to Greece.
-Ooh! -[audience exclaims]
Nice. Well, good luck to you all,
because now it's time...
for the Lingo Showdown!
-[cheering, applause] -♪ ♪
Okay, 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, Tim and Steff,
you banked the most amount of money,
so you get to decide who goes first or second.
BOTH: We'll go first!
[cheering, applause]
Ashley and Tony, how do you feel about going second?
-Great. I love. Thank you. -I love that. Love that.
-TONY: Appreciate you. -RUPAUL: Well, listen.
There is $80,500 on the line.
It's a lot of money.
Tim and Steff, are you ready?
