Mike & Mich start by stealing CRAFT. Janice & Walter even the score with EARTH, following with VOWEL, ROACH, and the Lingo, giving them 125 to the Reds' 25. Mike & Mich steal TWICE once for 25, following with LOOSE (and speaking of which, Shandi wants to see Mike flex again). Janice & Walter steal POWER (after Walter said "poker", but remember, 'tis not the word but the spelling). Karma comes back in the form of the stopper. But they still lead, 150 to 75, going into...

Round 2. Mike & Mich get LOVES for 50, but they red-ball. Janice & Walter get ANGEL. Even with all the letters falling into place, Mike & Mich can't steal, giving Janice & Walter BOXER. Mike & Mich learn from that error, as they get CLOVE and the Lingo, giving them the game, 275 to 250.

With two Bonus Lingo letters, Mike & Mich get FAVOR, VALUE, GAZED, SKIPS, and DIZZY for five. That gives them $500 and five balls. If the first one up is 10, it's $10,000. Mike gets... 10. He Lingoes later for $5000.
