ANNOUNCER: Let the word games begin.
First up: defending champs, mother and daughter
Susan and Elizabeth.
They're up against married couple
Minesh and Mira.
Please welcome your host, captain of the good shipLingo,
it's RuPaul.
[cheering]
RUPAUL: Hey!
Hi!
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Lingo,
where we turn words into cash.
Mmm, that sounds like a sweet deal to me.
Doesn't it to you?
Now, tonight, four teams will take on the Lingo grid,
and our first two teams are ready to go, oh.
Now, 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.
-[whooping] Yes. -RUPAUL: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
And they'll have the chance to move on to the next show
and defend their title.
Let's Lingo.
-♪ -[cheering]
All right.
Here's how it works.
This is a Lingo grid.
Now, you'll be shown the first letter of the 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 will add money to your bank.
Got it?
Get it right on the first try,
that's a Golden Guess
and you instantly bank $5,000.
[whooping]
[RuPaul laughing]
A second guess is $2,500, a third is $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.
Ooh, no she better don't.
[audience laughing]
So let's play Lingo!
♪ ♪
Okay, teams,
you'll be playing three five-letter Lingos.
Now, Susan and Elizabeth, as defending champions,
you're up first.

So far, Susan and Elizabeth
have banked $2,000,
but giving our champs some competition
are Minesh and Mira, with $8,000 in the bank already.
All right. But look, it's still
very early and this game can change in a flash.
Crank up the AC, kids,
'cause this is about to get hot up in here!
Somebody could bank $20,000.

So, Susan and Elizabeth,
you are our defending champions.
Now, Elizabeth, you're in college.
-Yes, I am. -Where do you go to college?
I go to University of Wisconsin, Madison.
You know, I once did a show there.
It was an underwear party.
Do they still do those?
Oh, not that I'm aware of, but--
Oh, you just say that because your mother's here, right?
[all laughing]
What are you studying?
I'm a genetics and science communications major.
-Oh, my goodness. -ELIZABETH: I know.
She's a smart girl. Mom, are you proud?
Very proud of her.
-How many kids do you have, Susan? -Yeah, I have three kids.
-You have three kids. -Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Elizabeth, and then we have twin boys, Simon and Sam.
You know, my sisters and I all have the same initial.
Do you ever have to say both names
to get one of them to come over?
I have, unfortunately, made the mistake
of calling them "salmon" because
-[laughing] -it's a combination
of the two names sometimes.
[all laughing]
RUPAUL: That's great. All right.
Now, Minesh, I was told that
you aspire to be a game show host.
Only after the best.
You're coming for me?
Is that what you doing?
I want to be your apprentice, Ru.
I don't want to come for you.
-I want to join you. -Okay.
Well, here's a little audition.
Why don't you say, "Hey, I'm Minesh.
And coming up next on Lingo is the Super Lingo."
Hey, I'm Minesh.
And coming up next on Lingo
is the Super Lingo round.
You've got the job!

Now, remember, my dears, the team with
the most money in the bank
will make it through to the Lingo Showdown
and play for that jackpot.
Who's it gonna be?
Let's find out in the Lingo Battle.
All right,
so far, you've been solving Lingos together,
but now we're splitting you up.
That's right.
One of you will be playing five-letter Lingos,
the other will be playing
six-letter Lingos.
What?
Minesh, can you handle it?
-Yeah. -You can't handle the truth, Minesh.
[all laughing]
RUPAUL: Now, listen.
Lingo Battle is all about
controlling the grid.
Find a new green letter and you stay in control.
No new green means the other team takes control.
And that could be vital because we're doubling the money, honey.
-Uh-huh. -[applause and cheering]
RUPAUL: That's right.
Those Golden Guesses are now worth $10,000.

Safely. S-A-F-E-L-Y.
New green.
Stays with you. One more try.
Simple. S-I-M-P-L-E.
All right!
Nice. Good job. Good job.
RUPAUL: Very simple. Okay.
Rejoin your teammates
for one final battle.
-♪ -[cheering, applause]
You'll play a Super Lingo
worth up to $15,000.
Here's your clue.
[reading]
Time starts now.
T.
Kim and Khai, what say you?
Transmission.
For $15,000
and a place in the Lingo Showdown,
is transmission up there?
Oh, boy!
[laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
Wow!
That's amazing.
Unfortunately, that means we have to say goodbye
to Liz and Kathy.
You've been wonderful. I hope you had a good time.
-Absolutely. -We had a blast.
RUPAUL: Lovely.
Now, Kim and Khai,
you're moving on into the Lingo Showdown
where you'll be facing off against our first winning team,
Minesh and Mira, for a grand total of...
$109,500.
It's the highest Lingojackpot ever.
And the winners will have the chance
to move on to the next show to defend their title.
Lingo hard or Lingo home. Yeah!

Welcome back.
It's time for the Lingo Showdown!
[cheering]
Four teams came to play. Two remain.
Only one can win the jackpot.
Playing tonight are Minesh and Mira
and Kim and Khai.
Who will be the last team standing?
Let's bring them back.
-♪ -[cheering, applause]
RUPAUL: Okay, kids.
This is where it gets serious.
You're playing to win all the money
you've both banked tonight, plus an added
$50,000.
That's a grand total of $109,500!
[audience cheering]
Now, only one team
can move on to the next show to defend their title.
Here's how it works.
You get two minutes to solve as many
five-letter Lingos as possible.
Now, you can pass at any time.
The team with the most correct Lingos wins.
Now, Kim and Khai, you've banked the most money,
so you get to decide who goes first.
-We're gonna go second. -RUPAUL: All right. Well.
It's game on. Now, remember,
there is
$109,500 on the line.
Can we get two minutes on the clock, please?
Your first Lingo begins with...
S. Time starts now.
Steal. S-T-E-A-L.
Share. S-H-A-R-E.
Pass.
RUPAUL: All right. That word is "space."
New Lingo. C.
Canoe. C-A-N-O-E.
Chain. C-H-A-I-N.
Click. C-L-I-C-K.
RUPAUL: You have the I.
Pass.
All right, that word is "crisp."
New Lingo. B.
Beast. B-E-A-S-T.
RUPAUL: Found the T.
Bound. B-O-U-N-D.
Blunt. B-L-U-N-T.
All right.
New lingo. H.
Hairy.
Hairy. H-A-I-R-Y.
Harsh. H-A-R-S-H.
Hater. H-A-T-E-R.
There you go.
All right, new Lingo. Forty seconds.
G.
Grout. G-R-O-U-T.
Great. G-R-E-A-T.
Grain. G-R-A-I-N.
Grabs. G-A-R-B-S.
Grass. G-R-A-S-S.
All right, new Lingo.
-We got this. -RUPAUL: A.
Alone. A-L-O-N-E.
Oh, out of time.
Out of time. Let's see what that word was.
Anger.
Okay.
Now, Mira, you said "grabs,"
but spelled "garbs."
And we go by spelling on Lingo.
So at the end of that,
you got three Lingos.
Kim and Khai, let's see what you can do.
The number to beat is three,
so you'll need four to take home that jackpot.
There is $109,500 on the line.
And the winner takes all.
Okay. You have two minutes on the clock.
Your first Lingo begins with...
T. Time starts now.
Taupe. T-A-U-P-E.
Tonic. T-O-N-I-C.
Twice. T-W-I-C-E.
All right, there you go.

Raise. R-A-I-S-E.
Regal. R-E-G-A-L.
Royal. R-O-Y-A-L.

RUPAUL: One more for the jackpot. D.

RUPAUL: Oh, boy!
-You have got it. -[audience cheering]
-[laughing] -RUPAUL: Minesh and Mira,
I'm so sorry. You gave it your all.
We hope you had fun.
-Wonderful, yeah. -Oh, but, Kim and Khai,
you've just won
$109,500!
[audience cheering]
Oh, my gosh.
How do you guys feel?
Oh, it doesn't even feel real.
That is a big number.
Yeah, I'm full of adrenaline.
-[RuPaul laughing] -Just full with it.
-But you won. -Yeah.
And you get to come back for our next show
and play all over again.
Tune in next time to find out
if our champions can defend their title
or will someone else take their crown.
