ANNOUNCER: It'sLingo night,
and he likes to keep you guessing.
Please welcome your host,

♪ ♪
Hello, and welcome to Lingo,
where every word tells a story.
And with so much money to be won,
we guarantee it's a happy ending.
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.
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.
Let's meet the first two teams.
It's friends Sharon and Crystal,
and sister and brother Liann and Bobby.
Whoo!
Hey! Hey!
Let's play some Lingo.
All right, 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.
Yes. 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 the timer does run out, or you can't solve the Lingo,
the other team can steal,
and you don't want that, okay?
Now, Sharon and Crystal,
you're up first. Are you ready?
-Ready. Let's get it. -Ready.
Good. Your first five-letter Lingo
begins with... S.
Your time starts now.
Start. S-T-A-R-T.
RUPAUL: Okay. T and the R.
Shoes. S-H-O-E-S.
RUPAUL: Okay, found an O.
-BOTH: Storm. -S-T-O-R-M.
What?
Store. S-T-O-R-E.
Stork. S-T-O-R-K.
Oh, no. It's not "stork," which means
Liann and Bobby, it's your chance
to steal. Your time starts now.
It's time for me to tell a story,
for S-T-O-R-Y.
RUPAUL: There you go.
[laughs]
-Wow. $1,000. -Let's go!
Sharon and Crystal,
your second five-letter Lingo
begins with... D. Time starts now.
Dawns. D-A-W-N-S.
Doable. D-O-A-B-L-- Ah!
-RUPAUL: [laughs] Uh-oh. -[laughs]
Not a word. Liann and Bobby,
you can steal again. Your time starts now.
Doubt. D-O-U-B-T.
-RUPAUL: No. -Let's do "dream."
-Mm-hmm. -Dream. D-R-E-A-M.
RUPAUL: Found an R. One more try.
Drove?
Drove. D-R-O-V-E.
Let's drive it. Let's go. [screaming]
RUPAUL: All right, now, Sharon and Crystal...
-Yes. -RUPAUL: ...your third
five-letter Lingo begins with M.
Time starts now.
Money. M-O-N-E-Y.
RUPAUL: E in the wrong place.
Messy. M-E-S-S-Y.
RUPAUL: Found an E in the right place.
Meaty. M-E-A-T-Y.
RUPAUL: Nothing there.
Melon. M-E-L-O-N.
RUPAUL: Hmm. One last try.
Melts. M-E-L-T-S.
Ooh, it's not "melts."
Liann and Bobby, your time starts now.
Want to just do "might"? Just do it. Get it on the board.
Might. M-I-G-H-T.
RUPAUL: It's not "might." Let's see what it is.
-Medic. -RUPAUL: Medic.
I need a medic!
[laughs]
Okay.
Liann and Bobby, your first
five-letter Lingo begins with... F.
Time starts now.
Giving that faith. F-A-I-T-H.
-RUPAUL: Oh, found the A. -Do "found."
Found. F-O-U-N-D.
-Fresh? -Fresh. F-R-E-S-H.
RUPAUL: Found the S in the right place.
False. F-A-L-S-E.
[RuPaul laughing]
$1,500 for that one.
Your second five-letter Lingo begins with... R.
Time starts now.
Ready. R-E-A-D-Y.
RUPAUL: A in the wrong place.
Let's go for "round."
R-O-U-N-D.
RUPAUL: Found an O in the wrong place.
-Right. -Right. R-I-G-H-T.
-Radon? -Yeah, try.
Radon. R-A-D-O-N.
RUPAUL: Okay, well, you found an A and an O in the right place.
Play the song on the radio.
R-A-D-I... Oh, no.
[RuPaul laughs]
It's not radio, which means Sharon and Crystal,
your time starts now.
That's not it. Rayon. R-A-Y-O-N.
RUPAUL: Not "rayon."
Let's see what that word is.
-Razor. -Razor.
Razor.
Liann and Bobby,
your third
five-letter Lingo begins with...
W. Time starts now.
Let's start with "world."
W-O-R-L-D.
-RUPAUL: Nothing there. -Write.
-Waist, waist. -Waist.

RUPAUL: Found the I in the right place.
-Just do, um... -Go. Just do it. Do it, do it.
Windy. W-I-N-D-Y.
White. W-H-I-T-E.
RUPAUL: Oh, found an H in the right place.
Wisp. W-H-I-S-P.
[indistinct chatter]
RUPAUL: Oh, not a word,
which means Sharon and Crystal,
you can steal. Your time starts now.
Wimp. W-H-I-M-P.
What?
RUPAUL: Wrong spelling. Let's see the answer.
"Which."
"Which." All right.
Sharon and Crystal have yet to score,
but in the lead are Liann and Bobby
with $3,500.
Baby, we are just getting started.
It's the Super Lingo next. Don't you Lingonowhere.
♪ ♪
Welcome back to Lingo. On this show,
wordplay equals payday.
Cha-ching.
So, Sharon, you have a background in aerospace.
Tell me about that.
So, I was in the Air Force previously,
before I went to work with the space shuttle program,
and I worked with the SR-71 Blackbird.
I suited up the pilots that flew that plane and
took care of all the life support equipment.
And I transitioned to work with the space shuttle program
because I was already trained to suit
and boot our astronaut crews for 22 years.
But my claim to fame is I suited up our first
Black female astronaut, Dr. Mae Jemison.
Oh, wow.
[audience cheering]
All right, now, Liann and Bobby,
you've been dancing this whole time.
You studied dance?
Well, I currently dance salsa and bachata,
and I've done it all around the world.
-Liann, do you also dance? -LIANN: I do,
and I like to be his backup dancer.
I love it. Okay, listen, kids,
if you want to stack up those coins,
now's your chance.
It's time to play Super Lingo.
Now, your Super Lingo is ten letters long
and worth a possible $5,000.
You'll get a clue and just ten seconds to find the answer.
The faster you buzz in, the more you can win.
But remember, my dears, if you get it wrong,
your opponents can steal.
The answer here...
..."nationwide." So, it's just that simple.
Now, you can't play Super Lingo
without my Lucky Balls.
-[cheering] -♪ ♪
[laughing]
All right, my dears,
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.
Liann and Bobby, let's start with you.
-We would like a Money Ball. -RUPAUL: You want a Money Ball?
LIANN: Yes.
Okay, here I go. Let's see what I can get.
Okay, you've added an extra $100
to your Super Lingo.
Let's see what we have here.
Here's your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Your time starts now.
T.
R.
E.
-A. -[buzzer sounds]
Oh, what's your answer?
Theaters.
-RUPAUL: Theaters. -Not right.
Okay, well, let's see.
It is not.
Sharon and Crystal,
this is your opportunity to steal.
Your time starts now.
-[buzzer sounds] -RUPAUL: Okay, you buzzed in.
-What's your answer? -"Tearjerker."
Is "tearjerker" up there?
Yes, it is.
We on the board, Ru! We did it.
[laughs] Well,
Sharon and Crystal,
is it gonna be a Money Ball or a Letter Ball?
-The Letter Ball. -Okay, Letter Ball.
Let's see what we get.
All right, here's one right here.
Let's see what this is. All right.
Four. So, that means
you'll get the fourth letter in your Super Lingo.
Here is your clue.
[RuPaul reading]
Now, we're going to reveal that fourth letter.
It's a U, and your time starts now.
L.
-T. Oh, okay. -[buzzer sounds]
What is your answer?
BOTH: Lieutenant.
For $4,500, let's see
if "lieutenant" is up there.
Yes, it is.
[laughing]
[both cheering, whooping]
Okay.
Now, Liann and Bobby have
$3,500 in the bank,
but thanks to that Super Lingo,
Sharon and Crystal are in the lead with
-$6,100 in the bank. -[cheering]
[RuPaul laughs]
Now, 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.
All right. Now, so far,
you've been solving Lingos together,
but now I'm here to tell you
you're gonna be 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.
-Ooh... -RUPAUL: Yes.
Lingo Battle
is all about controlling the grid.
Find a new green letter, you stay in control.
No new green letter means the other team takes control.
And that could be crucial because we are
doubling all the money.
So, those Golden Guesses
are now worth $10,000,
-baby. -[screams]
[laughing]
Yes. Okay.
So, who's playing five-letter Lingos?
Who's playing six? Let's start with Sharon and Crystal.
-I'm playing five. Yes. -RUPAUL: You're playing five.
-And I'll be six. -RUPAUL: Okay.
So, Liann and Bobby, who's
playing fives? Who's playing sixes?
Bobby is playing five. I'm playing six.
Okay, so, Sharon and Bobby, you're up first.
Uh, please take your positions.
Your five-letter Lingo begins with... C.

It wasn't "jacker." Let's see what it is,
-Jogger. Jogger. Okay. -Oh, jogger.
Rejoin your teammates for one final battle.
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.
Now, here is the "cooca" part of all of this.

Liann and Bobby.
House party.
For $8,000, and a place
in the showdown, is it "house party"?
It is not "house party."
Sharon and Crystal, that means it's your chance to steal.
-Your time starts now. -[buzzer sounds]
-What's your answer? -SHARON and CRYSTAL: Housewarming.
For $8,000,
is it "housewarming"?

BOBBY: Good job, good job.
Good job. Great job.
To the moon, baby, to the moon.

to Liann and Bobby.
You leave empty-handed,
but you were wonderful. Thank you so much. Great.

Sadly, the other team
will leave with nothing.
Let's start with Sharon and Crystal.
How would you spend all that money?
We are going to donate the money
to our community foundation.
We have a li-- The Lister Foundation is our nonprofit
to bring back community and STEM resources
back to our community.
Lovely. Lovely.
All right, Philip and Alliver, how would you spend the money?
Our parents are first-generation immigrants here
from the Philippines.
My family has given
a big sacrifice for me to be here,
and so, um,
I would give back to my family
and, you know, do whatever they've done for-for me.
Lovely. Lovely.
Good luck to you all.
It's time for the Lingo Showdown.
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, Sharon and Crystal,
you banked the most money, so you get to decide
who goes first or second.
