thank you :D .. that was by design.. I needed a partner in the LA area to get on the show with -- she's never heard of the show while I was armed with my system I've worked on since I was 12 years old -- I asked her if it was cool that I went nuts on the board and she was totally cool with it.. :D
@@XaxtonRevolution2 I don't mind the question ;) though my answer probably won't be very exciting. Not to downplay the magic of receiving $5000 out of thin air (the show split it for us) which I received after the episode aired (several months after taping), but, honestly, it just vaporized about as soon as I got it; mortgage + credit card payments etc. Not quite the life-changing win (which we won an additional $5000 / $2500 each during the Tournament of Champions) ; I'm more honored to have my place in Lingo history, I suppose 😄
This clip on the American game show "Lingo" on GSN is from a late 2005 episode in season 4 during Hawaii Week. It has Robert & Heather playing the Bonus Lingo round. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
It's interesting that you bring up the idea of a multiplier. I remember thinking when I saw the show for the very first time that they should increase your winnings based on how many Lingos you can get in the final round with all of your draws. That would clearly reward people for doing as well as you did.
i understand they used the Dutch Lingo set to tape the first season of the US Lingo -- but I've seen clips of the Dutch version, I don't know if I could handle those crazy 7 letter words.. but I did learn from watching the Dutch version that the Dutch use "ij" as a single letter :)
Hey Rob, I found your website 2 days ago or so and posted on it that they were re-showing Hawaii week on GSN. You were on again last night. Fame strikes again. You played a great game. Don't forget to eat your PASTY ;)
I think I've found where the time credit was put in; at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="123">2:03</a> video time, or when the in-game clock says <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="30">0:30</a>. The board glitches as Chuck repeats "D-U-C-K-S", it goes blank and the word is then typed.
@nowhammies10 Ah! That's definitely it..I never noticed that, and if you look at the other words, they don't have that half-second little blank like the DUCKS does, though, I guess what always tripped me up in trying to find it is, if you look at me n' Heather, you never see any weird jump cuts, it's all so fluid -- and during the DUCKS, I kinda bend my knees a little bit and straighten up again without any editing -- so I think the board and contestants must be two separate clips.. good catch!
Kudos, to you, Robert. That must have been your Day that Day on Lingo. I bet if you had a Progressive jack pot that Night of, per say, $50,000, you definately would have taken that home. The way you dominated that Bonus Round, I bet that you would have done better on Grand Slam than Amy did(Not taking anything away from Amy), but you took that Bonus Round like a Prodical Genious. Your Partnet, Heather, did not even get One Breath in throughout the Round.
10 is the best you can do in the bonus round because there are 20 Lingo balls and half of the balls get covered when the time in the Bonus Lingo is over. That’s why.
can't you see the lil' clock in the corner? :p Twelve seconds (although during taping they thought it was <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="7">0:07</a> but they edited out a moment where they misspelled a word, I guess giving us a 5 second credit)
The funny part is that I don't think GSN understands that just 8 pulls is a guaranteed win. The 10 word max could easily be dropped to an 8 word max with no effect on the outcome.
hah, i had a <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="73">1:13</a> chance of drawing the winning number -- it's not like that's so impossible that "cheating" must be implored. Trust me, kids, many harder feats on game shows have been done than this :p
the sad part is, once you reach 9, you automatically win, since 12 numbers are covered. It is possible to pick 8 numbers and NOT win, although highly unlikely. However, it;s mathematically impossible to have 21 numbers covered and not have 5 in a row somewhere. Odd that they allow you to get 10 words correct and not 9. Once you get to 9 they should just have you pick the forst number and if it's the right one you get the $10,000? (i forget i havent watched the show in forever), otherwise $5000
would it be considered mathematically impossible or geometrically impossible? Also, how many configurations are there that would allow 20 balls to be on the board without getting a lingo? The only configurations that I can think of are two; One with a diagonal line from the bottom left to the top right that consists of unmarked spaces and the other is the same but it goes from the bottom right to the top left.
haha :D .. that was by design.. i had asked her if it was cool that i just ran with the bonus round myself since i've practiced for this moment for over a decade, and she was a virtual newcomer to the game. hey, it's a free $5000 just for standin there and lookin purrty.. not a bad deal :D
Come on dude, you didn't mix up the balls like you had to, you just put your hand in ;) I saw another show where she tries to keep track of the ball on top but lost it.
C'est parce que les mots français sont plus faciles :p .. French word patterns are a lot more uniform than the complete randomness of letter combinations in English words. But, also, the one time I saw a 10-letter win on Motus (Super Partie!), the chaps won only €6000 for all that hard work -- and the bonus round lasts 5 freaking minutes long! Sooo... I'll take the $10,000 for the two minutes of work, merci ;)
Yeah I kinda agree with the fact that French words are easier. He have a lot of words with "ette" or "tion" at the end for exemple. And yes, the reward is pretty ridiculous, mainly because France 2 (this is the name of the channel) is a public channel ^^.
Chuck at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="158">2:38</a> : "I don't know if anybody's made more than that. Has anybody?" I don't think so. The closest I can think of were Mark Walberg and Marc Summers in 2003, who got nine.
If the late great voice of baseball Mel Allen were hosting this he'd say "HOW 'BOUT THAT?" 10 words in the round--I guess that's their limit Needed a 10 for the Jackpot Jackpot--$10,000! Guess it's true what they say about things coming in 3's!
Actually, Amy and Laura did six(But who's counting?). Still, they hold the Record. When did you come on? Also, Amy did represent Lingo, in the Game Show, "Grand Slam". Seriously, when did you come on, and how far before they started "The Progressive Jackpot" were you on Lingo?
uh.. cheating? how the hell do you cheat at reaching into a bowl full of numbered balls without looking while on camera? it was a <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="73">1:13</a> shot and I was just lucky to have drawn the right ball, you're a dope :p
i’m not accusing you of cheating but to be fair, if you read the facial expressions and every single person looking out your hand as reached in, it might’ve been possible.
@@XaxtonRevolution2 Yeah, only it's not. They have a cloth sheath-type covering over the mouth of bowl that you literally shove your hand through, you can't see shit. But besides, do you actually think a game show would be so careless and allow contesants to be able to just look straight into the bowl? The suggestion of that is not only stupid, but also, you can clearly see that I'm looking straight at the camera when I'm drawing the ball. And what are these "facial expressions" you think you are seeing? Suspicion? What planet did you watch this from? :p
naw, i didn't :p .. you can clearly see i'm squinting upwards -- but nonetheless they have a little spandex-type black tarp thing you have to stick your hand through, so "looking" is impossible :D
even letting them have 10 is too many theres no way you can even put 8 on the board without getting 5 in a row the way they cover the board so 8 should be the max then they should pick one number if its not the right one, they win 5000 if it is they win the jackpot
@greenday61892 There's nothing to elaborate on. Merely look at the ratings of both shows. In fact while I prefer the new lingo, the first, ORIGINAL version, was by far more fun.
...featuring me happy to have my lawn chair not soaking in a grease puddle that had dripped from the idling Piper Twin Engine that just took off for Barstow...
@@markheying2830 Ok, so... you've posted this exact thing (or variation thereof) across my RU-vid clips at least 20 times now; just wondering - is this some sort of performance art thing? Either way, all due respect, could you kindly knock it off? 🙃
guys -- it's a one in thirteen chance to pull the freaking ten ball -- it's not really that coincidental and rare.. And um.. when you're on the set of a game show, there's never a moment when "no one is looking" :p do you really believe the contestant can be left alone with the ball hopper? wtf, people :p
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="80">1:20</a> Wouldn't have called the bonus letter there. I mean, the circles tell you that they're in the word, but the wrong places.
Well, as you can see by the result of the game, I clearly know how the game works :p .. But let me explain why I called for the bonus letter here: with the pattern of D _ (I) (R) Y, in the heat of the moment, I was conditioned to then think the word started with "D R _ _ _ " but my brain couldn't match D R _ I Y, so under the pressure of the clock I unfortunately burned a bonus letter there. Didn't consider a word starting with DI--- .. so, yes, while that was somewhat of an amateur mistake, I got that out of my system early and proceeded to destroy the rest of the game like a fucking assassin, thank you. :D
Also further more, the following could be among some of the possible Words when the following Letters are in the following 2 Positions. First Letter: Q Fourth Letter: E Queen Quiet First Letter: W Fourth Letter: E Wakes Wares Wired Wires First Letter: F Fourth Letter: C Flock Force First Letter: W Third Letter: D Width Widow Wedge First Letter: S Third Letter: U Stuck Study Sauce Spurs Studs Stump First Letter: Q Fourth Letter: R Quart Quirk First Letter: E Third Letter: U Equip Equal Erupt First Letter: M Fourth Letter: I Magic Mimic Media First Letter: S Fourth Letter: E Sewer Sizes Super First Letter: J Fourth Letter: E Jewel Joked Joker Jokes First Letter: P Fourth Letter: E Power Poked Pokes Poker First Letter: S Fourth Letter: W Shows Shown Snows Snowy Slows First Letter: G Fourth Letter: W Glows Growl Grown Grows First Letter: F Third Letter: O Flood Flock Frown Flown Flows Foods Fools First Letter: P Fourth Letter: Z Prize Pizza Plaza First Letter: C Fourth Letter: W Crows Crowd Crown Crawl
Ya, I was truly stumped on Affix .. I could NOT think of what the hell five letter word starts with A-F-F .. turns out AFFIX is the only one! :p tricky bastadz
