Yellows:
Very-best-friends-in-the-whole-wide-world Kelly
(chiropractic assistant) & Joslyn (makeup artist) |
|
Reds: Friends Nima (student) & Josh (aspiring
filmmaker) |
Game 1: Nima &
Josh start by stealing HINTS from the Yellows, following
up with YOUNG, but Kelly & Joslyn steal SPIES back for
the draws.
After the break, we see
Joslyn's weird talent. She also has PIPES to tie the
score. But Nima & Josh have the steal with MANGO. And
Josh has the money ball for Lingo, giving them the lead,
125-50. They get the draw back with BLUFF, but Josh
comes up red. Kelly & Joslyn ENDED their drought, but
still trail 75-150 at the half.
Kelly & Joslyn start off
with FORCE and the Lingo, giving them the lead, 225-150.
Nima & Josh take on WARNS and Lingo off of that to give
THEM the lead, 300-225. Kelly & Joslyn CURSE for 50 and
NOTED another 50, giving them the lead, 325-300... but
they also get the stopper. Nima & Josh try to retake the
lead... and do with KAYAK. That'll do it, as Nima &
Josh, the hyper players that they are, win, 350-325.
With 3 Bonus Lingo
letters, Nima & Josh get balls and Benjamins for AMAZE,
ERASE, and REPLY. They can get the $10,000 for 10, as
Josh gets.... 2. Nima doesn't do it either... And no big
money to be had today. They walk away with $300.

Yellows: Friends Rainee (IT contract manager) &
Stacy (physical therapist assistant) |
|
Reds: Friends Jared (works in a country club) &
Brian (coffee barista) |
Game 2: Rainee &
Stacy start out with taking Shandi's CROWN for 25. They
follow with ABOUT, a steal of ENTER, GUIDE, and a Lingo
for 150-0, Yellows. Jared & Brian get back control...
and lose it. Rainee & Stacy get POEMS, TASTY, and
another Lingo for 250-0. This is getting horrendous.
It's only round 1. Rainee & Stacy get BANKS for another
shot at the board, but Stacy comes up red. Score at the
half, 275-0 Yellow. "Anything can happen, dear God let
it..."
Jared & Brian start
round 2, but Rainee & Stacy pick it up with LUCKY.
Another red stopper comes up. Jared & Brian lose control
on QUBEC. Rainee & Stacy get QUEEN, TRUNK, and Lingo for
525-0. Pretty much wraps the game up as Rainee & Stacy
come away with a debacle not seen since the GSN hosts
show in season 2.
And to add insult to
injury, Shandi delivers our two washouts... two donuts.
So one Lingo, two
Lingoes, three Lingoes.. four... Bonus letters, that is.
Rainee & Stacy get MOVIE, AWOKE, HELLO, SEVEN, THINK,
ALONG, JAZZY, GRIND, and TAFFY, giving them nine balls.
They have the $5000 down. But can they get the $10,000?
45'll do it. Rainee gets... 23. Stacy comes up with
$5000.
