Tonight, four teams will take on the Lingo grid.
And our first two teams are ready to go.
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!

Ooh.
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.
Got it?
Get it right on the first try
and that's a Golden Guess.
And you'll instantly bank $5,000.
[cheering]
Yep.
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. Meow.

to Diana and Amy.
-You've been wonderful. -Thank you.
-I hope you had a good time. -Yes, we did.
-RUPAUL: Terrific. -Thank you.
-[laughing] -Thank you.

You're playing to win
all the money you've both banked tonight.

as many five-letter Lingos as possible.
Now, you can pass at any time,
and the team with the most correct Lingos wins.

so you get to decide who goes first.
I think we're gonna be going second.
We'll let them go first.

Now, Ashley and Jessica, this is
the first time you're going first.
