This is a Smoke and Clove.
A little mezcal, a little clove simple syrup.
Used to eat these orange slices
in between AAU games. Now I get 'em in a drink.
A little more sophisticated for you.
A little bit grown and sexy.
How are you? - Hi, guys.
- Nice to see you. - Good to see you.
Hi. How are you? Thank you for having us.
- Hi! - Hi.
Yanise!
You do what you do! - Hi!
Babe, you are chugging these drinks.
No, I'm not chugging. I'm drinking responsibly.
[laughs]
- Hello! Hi! - Hi!
Evan, Ashlee, what up?
'Sup, boy? Thanks for coming through.
Thank you for having us.
Bit of orange juice, yes.
- I love your boots. - Thanks.
See, what happened was I made a decision...
I'm usually top button and I went one more
'cause I thought I'd be a little aggressive
and I--I ain't doing enough. I ain't doing enough.
[laughter] - I went a little far, today.
To an amazing night.
Great people, great company. Here we go.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Make yourself comfortable.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yeah.
You should have a drink of your choice by your side,
but if you need anything at all,
there's a rather handsome gentleman behind the bar.
- Talk to me. Talk to me now. - Oh, bartender?
- Talk to me nice. - Bartender for the evening
and he can get you anything you need.
Sam, you're such a funny comedian
and fellow HBO host
with your show, "PAUSE with Sam Jay."
Yanise, you're a super impressive
interior designer. - Thank you.
Curtis, you're a world-renowned chef.
We've seen you on "Top Chef," "Master Chef."
Pretty much any show with the name "chef" on it,
you've been there.
Lindsay, you're a fabulous actress.
We've seen you on shows such as "Splitting up Together."
Ashlee, of course, you're a world-famous singer,
actress, songwriter. And Evan, pretty much everyone
has seen you in "Hunger Games: Mockingjay."
Big fan. Thank you guys so much for being here tonight.
Let's get into this first question.
- Wait, I need a sip. - Yes, take a sip.
There's more where that came from.
Cheers. We got this.
This is yours. I got your wine coming.
Getting a little low on mine already.
I don't know what's going on. - You hear that Stephen?
Evan's getting a little low on his drink.
What you got over there? What do you need?
- Just started. - I got you.
Don't worry. Say less. Say less.
- No judgment? - Judge-free zone.
All right, so this question
is worth one point.
Curtis, Yanise, and Ashlee,
which of these performances would earn you
a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes?
Pretending you didn't watch ahead on a show
you're binging together,
letting your partner win an argument,
or faking an orgasm?
Headphones on.
All right, Evan. What's it gonna be?
It's definitely...
her allowing me to win an argument.
- Yeah? - Yeah, she taught me
how to say sorry over anything.
Like she's one of those people where it's like so amazing
that she actually will allow herself not to win
even if she probably won
'cause she knows that it's probably
not that serious. - Yeah.
And then that probably makes you feel guilty
after the fact. - Absolutely. Exactly.
And then I'm like, "Dude, I was wrong anyway."
Reverse psychology is real right there.
It's genius.
Headphones off.
Oh, sorry. I was having fun.
It was your mom and Lionel Richie.
"Endless Love." - No way!
And by the way, his mom sang that for us
at our wedding. So I was really rocking out.
Yeah, we didn't know that was gonna happen.
We didn't know. It was a surprise.
She kept being like, "You telling people
I'm singing at your wedding? - Thanks for the great song.
She's like, "I'm not doing that."
And she officiated your wedding as well, right?
- Yeah, yeah. - That is beautiful.
So which of these performances would earn you
a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes?
Pretending you didn't watch ahead on a show
you're binging together,
letting your partner win an orgasm...
- Wait, what? - You win!
- Now that, now that! - You win.
[laughter]
You won the orgasm. You got it first.
Congratulations.
[laughter]
Okay.
Letting your partner win an argument
or faking an orgasm. - Mm-hmm.
It's definitely letting him win the arguments.
- Really? - Oh, I mean, you know what?
I don't have time for it. I have three kids.
You won. I'll just take it. I'm like "Whatever."
[bell dinging] - You get the point.
Move on the next.
You know, I just give up. I'm like "Whatever."
- Lindsay. - Okay.
I cannot imagine him faking an orgasm.
That'd be so weird.
So just because my brain just can't on that one,
fighting with this man is impossible.
I'm sorry. But he has to be right.
He just has to be right. So he can't fake that.
So I think that just leaves the TV show thing,
which I think he kind of went ahead a little bit
on "Schitt's Creek" and various other shows
'cause I fall asleep early. - Oh, interesting.
We have similar stories on that one.
And somehow he doesn't wanna watch "Schitt's Creek" anymore.
Like, it's weird. - Let's see what he says.
All right, Curtis.
So I'm a bad liar.
I've never had to fake an orgasm.
So I think it's probably
something to do with
letting you win an argument.
No. No! [buzzer]
My answer was that you watch ahead
'cause I know you've been cheating on me
with "Schitt's Creek."
There's so much shit I wanna watch
and I'm always waiting for you.
She goes to bed so early and I sit up there.
No wonder I watch "The Boxer" so often.
All right, Sam.
Everyone's giving some really mature and balanced,
healthy relationship answers... - For now.
But I'm definitely gonna say fake an orgasm.
- Okay. - Yeah.
There's been moments when you're--
You know, she's just dramatic.
She's just a dramatic lady.
She's got a lot of "ah" to her.
I feel like I believe you, you know?
- That's amazing. - I love that.
- Let's see what she says. - Thank you.
I feel like I'm on punishment.
You're not on punishment. At least not yet.
- Yeah. - Which of these performances
would earn you a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes?
Now, I'm a really good actress
when I let you win an argument.
I'ma go with that 'cause I know nine times outta ten,
I win but I just let you think that you win.
[buzzer] What? Damn!
What you pick? - You had the first part right.
The actress part was right.
Faking a orgasm.
Oh, girl, I don't be faking.
I said not with me. But I feel like
that's what you would win 'cause I know you.
I just think about you out in the world.
So you've never faked an orgasm?
- Not with you. - Wait, Sam--
you see her out in the world just faking orgasms.
Yeah, that was a solid answer.
- Solid--solid answer. - We weren't always together.
I feel like you got some points just then.
- Got some points just now. - Ayesha, Ayesha,
if you were answering from my perspective.
If I had the headphones on, what would you say?
Letting your partner win an argument.
- Absolutely. - Thank you for doing that.
What a wonderful thing that is.
Great, wonderful. - All right.
Babe, what's that score?
We only have one point on the board right now.
Ashlee and Evan with one. - Okay.
Our other couples, you're still in the game.
You're getting warmed up.
Lotta time left. - I think it's time
to swap the headphones.
Yeah, you get on punishment. Here.
So, Lindsay, Evan, and Sam, this question is for you.
Just a reminder, $20,000 on the line for charity.
You and your partner are invited
to a super mysterious VIP party.
But when you arrive,
it turns out to be a swingers party.
Do you immediately leave?
Do you stay for a drink and watch,
or do you join in on the fun?
Headphones on.
Yanise, I'm coming to you first.
Okay.
I'm gonna say, well, we not joining in.
We not doing that. This is not community property.
So we not gon' do that.
Not a community property.
But I would say Sam is a voyeur
so she would stay for a drink and watch.
Plus she likes to drink
and she gon' make any excuse
to have a free cocktail.
That's why y'all came tonight.
For the free drinks. - Well, no, no!
We came 'cause we love you... - I'm joking.
But that too.
So I'm gonna say for the cocktail.
Let's see what she says.
This mysterious VIP party.
What are y'all doing?
I mean, we would wanna believe
that we would join in on the fun,
but we would be like, "Mm, this's nasty."
But--but...
but we got there, we there, so we gonna have a drink.
We gonna watch, we gonna keep with the peeping.
Yes, we got a point! We got a point there!
[bell dinging]
You're on the board. You get a point.
- We on the board. - I love how you say we there.
- That's exactly what she said. - We came all this way.
All right, Curtis.
This is the fanciest party
we've been invited to in a while,
and I didn't know it was that kind of party, you guys.
I think we're turning around and leaving straight away.
You know, like I would stay for a drink, check it out,
but Lindsay's gonna take one look at that and be like,
"Let's go." So we're out of there.
All right. That's your answer?
- That's it. - All right.
Let's see what she says.
- I wouldn't join in. - Okay.
I would like to say that I would just leave immediately,
but I also probably really wanna have a drink.
So, uh...
I'll have a drink at home. We're gonna go. We're gonna go.
Oh, she did this. She pulled that back around.
- I had to wait-- - The old bait and switch.
See that? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Curtis, what would you do if it was up to you?
I'd probably wanna have look, you know.
If I'm being honest, I'd have one drink.
No, yeah, yeah. I was on the edge.
- Just one drink. - Yeah.
- So she could be convinced. - I don't think so.
- No. - I love it.
- All right, Ashlee. - Mm-hmm.
- We are out. - Yeah?
I know him. He knows me. We're, you know, we're out.
I think he doesn't care where he drinks.
He'll, you know, find a way anywhere.
So I think we're out and I think that's what he'll say.
- All right. - I don't know.
- Let's see what he says. - I feel pretty strong
about it, but let's see.
- All right, Evan. - Yeah, that was great.
That was a good time. - Are you immediately leaving,
watching, or are you joining in on the fun
because you only live once?
I enjoy a good time of a party.
I don't want anybody near my wife.
So I would say absolutely not.
I wouldn't be able to do it.
I would leave. - You're leaving.
I thought you were, like, running out of there.
I was, like, "Evan will just drink on the sidewalk."
[bell dinging] - You get the point.
Babe, babe, what do you think I would say?
We're both nosy.
Sam and Yanise, we would be in the back
with y'all just having a drink.
No, what I would've said was I would leave,
but then I would find a back window
to like peep up and pop us over.
- I like that! - So that I'm not there--
And then you can, like, have your judgment
from somewhere else.
You didn't have the option though. That was the options.
All right. Stephen, what's the score?
Ashlee and Evan still in the lead with two.
- Okay. - Both of our other couples
now are both on the board and they have one.
They know their partners really well.
So two, one, one. Here we go. - All right, perfect.
This question is worth two points.
- Uh-oh. - This question is gonna be
for Ashlee, Yanise, and Curtis.
Put those headphones down.
- Okay. - Because this question
is gonna involve these blindfolds.
These very sexy pleather blindfolds.
Did you get these from the swingers party?
You can tell me.
You are cornered in a dark alley
by a crew of dancers who force you
to dance for your life. - Okay.
Show us your final show-stopping move.
Think about that move in your head.
And your partner is going to show us
what they believe that dance would be.
- Oh, you got this. - What?
Blindfolds on.
I gotta get 'em over these lashes.
You would dance for your life?
- Can I dance for my life? - Yeah, I'ma turn around.
I want you to dance for your life.
I'm dead.
In those shoes?
I would bust one of these.
[upbeat music]
I have no rhythm, okay? Let's see if you can do it.
The finger pistol thing. I don't know if you like--
you like do it like this?
- It's the accuracy for me. - Is that right? Is that right?
Yes. You're very right.
But you do it better than me though.
It'd be something like that.
- Just make some drinks, okay? - [laughs]
All right, Sam. Let's see it.
Am I gonna get a beat?
Yo. yeah, you're definitely gonna get a beat.
[upbeat music] - It'll be something like.
Go, Sam. Go, Sam.
- All right. - Wait, what are you doing?
Lindsay, you're up next. Let's see it.
Mostly he dances like a stripper,
but if this was like dance for your life...
- Yes, dance for your life. - He'd go for, like,
the humor. It'd be this--this classic.
- Mm-hmm. Mm! - Yeah.
All right. All right. All right. Perfect.
- Evan, you're up. - Yep.
It's aggressive because it's only one move that will be--
- Yeah? - Yeah.
But it would be--it would be
something in the line of like--
all: Oh.
Woah!
Got it! Got it.
Okay, all right, blindfolds off...
- Yeah. - 'Cause we want everybody
to be able to see everybody.
All right, Curtis. What's the move?
[both chuckle]
- Can I get a beat? - Yeah.
[upbeat music]
all: Oh!
- Okay! - All right.
Here's the thing, though. - Curtis, great moves.
Great rhythm. Your wife-- - Fabulous.
Your wife had something else on her mind though.
There was something else in her mind.
Yeah, I had the classic butterfly.
She gave you the Tootsie Roll.
You wanna see it? I can do it.
Bring the music. [upbeat music]
[all cheering]
Oh, I like that one!
There it is, there it is. [laughter]
With those long legs?
I definitely think you're safe.
You're getting out of that alley.
All right, Yanise. Let's see it.
- What you going with? - I have a follow up question.
- Yes. - Okay.
The people in the alley, the gang...
[laughter]
Is the gang like-- the dance crew,
is it like JabbaWockeeZ or is it like--
like The Pussycat Dolls? - Babe, I didn't have
any of that information. - You know what?
You just took this to a whole 'nother level.
I will say it's open for interpretation.
Was it gay or was it straight?
I can't tell you. [laughter]
Fair question.
What you got? Which one is it?
[upbeat music]
Did you twerk? [buzzer]
What you do? - I did what you would've done.
Show me! I wanna see what would I have done.
You kinda twerk but you-- it was kinda right in between.
Yeah. - Oh, yeah, that's me!
Yeah, that's me! That is me. That is me.
You right, you right!
You right, but I--you right.
But I was doing what I thought you thought that I would do.
At least you were still happy.
You don't get the point.
All right, Ashlee. Let's see it.
[upbeat music]
- Ah! - Oh!
- Okay! - And then it ends up in...
the split.
all: Ah!
[bell dinging]
I have one question.
Can you teach me how to do that?
Like both legs you can put behind--
You didn't find me at the swingers party,
but definitely, you put a few drinks in me,
and I lift my leg over my head.
It's not normal. It's not normal.
He hit the split. He did.
It's like A, Evan can do the splits
and B, Ashlee can do the splits in that outfit.
By the way, just so we're clear,
I'm not gonna feel good for a long time.
But I'm actually recovering as we speak.
But I grew up dancing.
So like I could do it, but like my body hurts
while we're talking right now. It's not good.
See, so for me, when I drink,
I decide it's my time to stretch.
Got it. Got it.
Let's see where we're at with the score.
Babe, where are we at?
Our leaders have increased
their distance on the lead.
We got Ashlee and Evan with four points
and two splits.
We'll take that.
Curtis and Lindsay have one,
Sam and Yanise have one as well.
All right. Everyone's still in the game
because this next question is actually worth three points.
My favorite number.
This is just where it gets interesting
because this is what we call the naked truth.
It's a question that Stephen and I haven't seen.
So honestly, we can't be held liable.
Okay.
I just got handed these cards.
Just got handed the question. - I have not seen it.
- Have not seen it. - I'm usually not embarrassed
but today?
This a good question. It's a thought provoker.
Chef, you're in this question.
I'm the question?
And this question is gonna be going to
Sam, Lindsay... - Okay.
- And Evan. - Let's go.
Chef Curtis Stone talks about
and drinks wine often.
If you were going to describe your partner in the bedroom
using one of these wine tasting words,
what would it be?
Well balanced, complex,
mature, or full-bodied?
- I know that's right. - Headphones on.
So we'll start with you since your name is in this question.
How would Lindsay describe you in the bedroom?
She'd probably say I was corked,
but you know, that's a different scenario.
No, I think she'd say well balanced.
It's like even keeled. Like--
No, got a little bit of everything.
Not just one note. Not just, you know.
Oh, okay. All right.
If you get this right, you'll tie the game.
Come on, baby.
Well balanced. That is true.
That is true, it's very well balanced.
It is complex.
I'm so lucky as to how complex it is.
But I have to say, and we're both gonna agree
that it's full-bodied.
Please tell me. - You go home happy, but--
[buzzer] - You go home very happy.
Oh, no. Oh, no. No, what'd you say?
I was embarrassed before you spoke.
Now, I'm really embarrassed.
Apparently, we're in the business
of making people blush, now.
It's beautiful. It's beautiful.
I thought it was well balanced.
It is well balanced.
Yeah, you agreed. It was just--
But you're just, like, super full-bodied, you know?
In the best possible ways!
All right. Yanise, this is for the tie.
I would say I'm all of the above,
but I would like to think that she's gonna say full-bodied.
- Okay. - So I'm hoping that
that's what she says, but if she doesn't,
then I don't know.
Take your earphones off, girl.
She's ready.
She's ready to hear this one. She ready.
I know my baby right, and I've been right.
She and I've been-- she--I've been right.
She been wrong.
So I'm gonna go with my gut again.
I feel like, you know, complex, that's not--that's not her.
It's not her. - Okay.
She's like full-bodied.
I know that's right!
She just "pow,"
you know what I'm saying?
It's like we doin' it. - Get in there. Get in there.
Now we have a tie game.
Before we go to you, Ashlee and Evan,
I just wanna see how we would answer this.
How would I describe you in the bedroom?
- How would you describe me? - Yes.
Can you whisper to the producers your answer?
'Cause I really--I really wanna know this answer.
Should I get up and look at the camera?
Yeah, go ahead. I ain't listening.
- Okay. We're good. - You got it?
So I wouldn't describe it as mature
'cause I feel like we've matured together.
So we've on the same level in that respect,
but I'm gonna say well balanced
'cause I feel like for me,
it's a lot of give and take
and it's just even all the way around,
but it's amazing. - Oh, that's so sweet.
Is that right? You say that? Come on now.
Come on now! Come on now.
You know what I'm saying?
- Yes! - Come on!
Thank you. Yeah, I'm digging myself.
Thank you. You're welcome.
[bell dinging] - Thank you.
Keep going. Keep going with the show.
- All right, Ashlee. - I feel nervous.
I just wanna tell you, this is actually for the win.
I don't know if he's gonna say
well balanced or full-bodied. - Okay.
It just really depends on the day
and what the kids are doing.
Okay.
- Straight up. - That part.
But I'm gonna say he's gonna say full-bodied.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Let's see what he says. This is for the win.
And if you don't win this question,
we actually have a tie game.
And we're in a fight. No, I'm just kidding.
[laughter]
We'll get you another drink.
Absolutely. There's no question.
She's full-bodied.
- Yeah! - That's your answer?
I didn't know if you were gonna go well balanced.
- That's for a win! - Whoo!
You have just won $20,000 for Operation Smile.
Oh, that's amazing. They'll be so happy.
- Y'all are amazing. - But the game ain't over.
Oh, no.
This is the point in the game
where we like to sweeten the pot a little
and add an extra $5,000
if you can beat us in a game we call
"Beat the Currys." So here's how it's gonna work.
Five rapid fire questions, blindfolded,
with martini drinks to represent each of us.
Here we go. Thank you, sir.
Whoever gets the most questions right wins.
If we win, you all get money for your charities.
If you win, you get 5,000 more. - Ooh.
So you know who to root for.
Sam, you can read us those questions
in three, two, one, go.
All right. Who is more romantic?
[bell dinging]
Who is clumsier?
[bell dinging]
Who is more likely to have road rage?
[bell dinging] - Straight up.
Who has the last say in an argument?
[bell dinging]
Who thinks about sex more?
- Ooh, ooh. - Oh, shit.
Ooh!
Why do I have to wave the white flag on this?
[buzzer]
- Baby! - I'll take that.
I'll take that. I'll take that.
That's cool. That's cool. That's cool.
Oh, my God. I feel like we both
waved the white flag on that last one.
That was cute though. That was real cute.
Headphones off.
All right, you guys, four is the number to beat.
You gotta be perfect to beat us now. Come on now.
Me, my husband.
Rapid fire questions in three, two, one.
Who is more romantic?
[bell dinging]
Who's clumsier?
[bell dinging]
Who is more likely to have road rage?
[bell dinging]
Who has the last say in an argument?
[bell dinging]
Who thinks about sex more?
[bell dinging] - They are perfect over here.
Oh, they are perfect.
- Somebody help him! - Hold on, don't move.
Don't move, don't move, don't move.
Y'all deserve a victory lap.
I'm thinking about it right now.
- Whoo! - All right.
That is $5,000 more for Operation Smile.
But technically, we're all winners
because we get to go home with the person we love
sitting beside us. - That's right.
All right, y'all, thank you so much for being here.
What do you say we cut these cameras off
and get the party started?
Let's go.
Thanks, guys.
Sammy and Yanise might have lost,
but they were definitely
our most fabulous couple this whole season.
Absolutely. They came with it,
came with the fashion. - The fashion for me, okay?
Keep in mind the first one was about the sex.
Now, you know, my mama gonna be watching
So I couldn't say that.
Girl, but you could've kept it real.
I kept it real through. You was like, come on.
You knew how you be twerk-- you knew you'd be--
you know you'd do that.
I just wonder if anybody was able
to actually get every answer right because I--
- Wait, we got every answer? - We got every answer right.
Babe!
We should get in and have sex.
- We should. - Mm-hmm.
No more babies.
Anyway, this is us, baby.
[chuckles]
I'll show you full-bodied. [laughter]
