Yellows: Roomies Lee (works for record company)
& Josh (law student) |
|
Reds: Friends Janice (registered nurse) & Tarra
(teacher) |
We've got letters,
balls, Chuck, and ... some chick that likes to talk too
much. Let's play game! Lee & Josh are up first with an
N. That turns into NAKED for 25. They follow with QUILT.
"How do you get from naked to quilt?" No idea, Chuck.
Janice & Tarra steal MOVED for 25. Josh & Lee steal a
GUESS, but Josh pulls a red stopper. Janice & Tarra get
TRUCK on the front end, but a red ball on the back. The
guys COAST to another red ball.
And we have another
first in this new season, our first skunk-out. No longer
is a word played until completion. If the opposing team
can't get it on the bonus letter, the word is revealed
and thrown out. In this case, DENSE. How apropos. Janice
& Tarra make up for it with MONTH. They trail, 100-75 at
the half.
After Chuck's 2-and-2
(which seemed more like 3-and-30), we're back with round
2. Janice & Tarra get a K, which becomes KINKY for 50.
And Tarra comes up red again. "I feel like I'm in red
stopper heaven... or red stopper hell." The latter,
Chuck. Lee & Josh give BIRTH to a Lingo (finally!),
giving them 250-125. Lee & Josh STAMP their way to
victory, 300-125.
With two Bonus Lingo
letters, Lee & Josh get BREAK, QUICK, VOTED, RIVER,
ELOPE, ANNEX, and HEIST, as well as a long buzzer.
Anyway, that's seven balls, but if they Lingo on the
first with lucky 13, they win $10,000. Lee has it... he
has... 21. Josh has the Lingo for $5000.
