Yellows: Friends Yan (law student) & Serge
(engineer) |
|
Reds: Roomies Kat (writer) & Mila (nursing
student) |
Game 1: We give
Yan & Serge an S to start. From that, they get SLIME,
PLACE, and a red stopper. Kat & Mila CHECK for 25,
following up with FLAGS and another red stopper. They
get the draw back with a steal of LYING. Yan & Serge get
a steal of their own with GLOOM and the Lingo, giving
them the lead, 125-75. They're not done yet, as they
steal DEPOT, and follow with HEART, giving them the
175-75 lead at the half.
Kat & Mila start round 2
in the MOTEL, and still can't get Lingo. Will they get
it after SHOUT? No. "On the bright side, any of them
next time!" Yay for optimism, Shandi. Bad news: Yan &
Serge steal TRIBE for the Lingo, giving the Yellows
325-175 and the lead. Kat & Mila get FROZE and their own
Lingo, giving them the tie ballgame, 325-325. Yan &
Serge ORDER up the win, 375-325.
With three bonus letters
in Bonus Lingo, Yan & Serge get GRADE, JOKER, PARTY,
BLANK, CANDY, WORKS, SHAKE, TEACH, FORTY and... JUST
miss FUZZY, but with eight words, they can Lingo easily.
Lucky 13 on the first pull means $10,000. Yan draws...
43. They Lingo on the third pull for $5000.

Yellows: Best friends and go-go dancers Danielle
& Cher |
|
Reds: Couple Jeff (law student) & Lara (interior
designer) |
Game 2: The
Yellows go first with B. They can't do anything with it,
giving Jeff & Lara a chance to steal with BRIBE.
Danielle & Cher even the score with TEAMS. Jeff & Lara
steal again with STINK and follow with RADIO and... a
stopper ball. Ow. Yellow still can't do anything with
GROVE first, but they get it on the back end. Jeff &
Lara steal again with HASTE. LAra draws red to close the
first half in the lead, 100-50.
Danielle & Cher get
JERKS and the Lingo for the 200-100 lead. And that's
just 30 seconds into round 2. They follow up with a
steal of COVER. but Jeff & Lara steal with TROOP. Lara
draws the ? ball to tie it at 250. But round 2 ends on
that, meaning it's time for a tiebreaker, the first
since season 2. You can tell they haven't used it in a
while, because they play the second season win cue at
the reveal. Jeff & Lara score FLOWERS, giving them the
win.
With two Bonus Lingo
letters in tow, Jeff & Lara get EXITS, GREAT, and
JUMBO for $300. But they can get $10,000 with a lucky
pull of 13... Close, Jeff got 11. Nothing on the
second... and nothing on the third, giving them that
$300. |
