Lingo season 4... You know
how it is. You know how it goes. Let's P-A-R-T-Y!
|
Yellows: Couple Jody (private tutor) & Jessica
(student) |
|
Reds: Cousins Autumn (hip-hop instructor) & Matt
(works in child care) |
Game 1: And we're
off with Jody & Jessica and a P. They get the POINT for
25. But Autumn & Matt steal BOARD for their first 25.
But they lose control on that damned red stopper ball.
Jody & Jessica get the draw back with LIONS, but lose it
on another red ball.
In the in-between-round
chat break, we learn that we have ourselves a little
Pittsburgh/Philly rivalry. We also learn that "for a
small fee", you can participate in GSN's online Lingo
tournament for cash, prizes, and a chance to be a
contestant on "Lingo". Just go to
www.GSN.com/Lingo
for more info on that.
Back to the game. Autumn
& Matt sweep up a CRUMB, but Matt draws red AGAIN.
Jody & Jessica lose control when Jody tries to pull off
"Sander". Nope. Autumn & Matt get SAFER for the steal.
Jody & Jessica steal back with HAWKS, giving them...
another stopper. Score at the half, 75 all.
Round 2 time, and Jody &
Jessica steal a JUDGE for 50. Autumn & Matt steal GROAN
for 50. It's just a game of stoppers and steals today.
But Matt gets the Lingo, giving them the 225-125 lead.
Jody & Jessica get THESE, but Jessica gets these
stoppers like crazy. That "Or maybe not" you hear is
Shandi channeling her inner Susan Stafford. The reds get
FLAME. No chance for Lingo, but enough to win the game,
275-175.
Autumn & Matt try for
$10,000 in Bonus Lingo. After getting balls and
Benjamins for SHARE, DRIVE, EXCEL, VOTER, THICK, and
CHAMP, Autumn & Matt need 44 for Lingo and $10,000.
Autumn, the luckier one, pulls... 68. Still going for
$5000. Three draws later... we have 44 for $5000.
Autumn's paying off some debts. Matt is going to Vegas.

Yellows: Roomies Sabrina (barista) & Lyndsay
(office temp) |
|
Reds: Friends Amy (dental assistant) & Jennifer
(advertising) |
Game 2: Okay, the
banter bell is off. Time to play some game. Sabrina &
Lyndsay SMILE and THANK for 50. Amy & Jennifer CRUSH
their hopes with a steal, but the red stopper crushes
them.
At the break, it turns
out that Lyndsay and Shandi share a hometown...
Fluorescent, MO. Amy & Jennifer get BOXED for 25 and...
the Lingo. Reds lead, 100 to 50. Back to Sabrina &
Lyndsay, who get ROUND for their own Lingo. Yellows now
lead, 125-100. Amy & Jennifer get PROMO to tie the game
at 125 after a red stopper. They get it back with OBESE,
leading 150-125 at the half.
Round 2: Amy & Jennifer
get in sync with the Lingo writers, getting FREAK and
POKER for 100. And that's really all she wrote for round
2, as Amy & Jennifer win, 250-125.
After getting WOMAN,
MONEY, LEVEL, DANCE, NIGHT, SOCKS, PRESS, and YUMMY in
Bonus Lingo, Amy & Jennifer get eight, meaning it's not
a matter of if they score Lingo. It's a matter of when.
And if they do it with 10 on the first pull, they win
$10,000. Amy draws... 34. They eventually draw the 10
for $5000. |
