Five for five went the winning Lingo Smackdown teams in their quest for $5000 last week, so plaudits to them. No one broke the jackpot, though, so for Monday the bank is at $26000.

The $5000 is very rarely not won, so of course the teams of champions all won it.  What's so noteworthy about that?  "Plaudits"?  An unnecessary five-dollar word there.

But Friday's show wasn't a "smackdown show", was it?  I thought it was just "regular" contestants.

You're taking Don way too seriously.  Look at his posting history.

Right you are. My apologies. I only saw the final segment of that program and incorrectly presumed that Smackdown Week would go the full five days. Your Don regrets the error and offers contrition.
As for Tuesday's telecast (beamed to all time zones already) the winning pair of John and Chris--with only three Bonus Lingo balls to pull--won $5000 [plenty of dough for a nice dinner and a couple of hookers] on their third and final available pick.
The jackpot rises to $28000 for today's episode of Lingo starring Chuck (no more last names).

I don't spend enough time here anymore to know everyone's posting history.  So if you have a point to make, just make it.

Since you brought it up, what's the deal with that?  It seems a bit amateurish or unprofessional not to introduce at least the host(s) by first and last name.  I'm sure many casual viewers wouldn't know Woolery except for possibly as an "infomercial guy", if that.

Don uses a lot of tongue-in-cheek sarcasm in his posts, sometimes mocking the fanb0i behavior of other posters. Easy to get confused by, but still funny.
"I just wanna give a shoutout to my homies in their late-30s who are watching this on Paramount+ right now, cause they couldn't stay up late enough to watch it live!"

Now celebrating his 21st season on GSF!

Oh, really?!? So over 400 posts isn't enough time to know everyone's posting history? Listen, pendejo, why don't you take your smarmy comments somewhere else where they are welcome, hmmm? Maybe you should get to know someone before you make your asinine comments, ad nauseum.

Oh please! Why don't you lighten up, jerk? Chuck is Chuck. ON THE SHOW maybe it is impolite to only introduce a host by only a first or last name. Now take your huffing and puffing elsewhere, you big, bad wolf. Banninate him! NOW!

JD, I'm gonna assume this is a late-late-night rant made after an especially late evening of... well, I don't know exactly what.  Because otherwise, I really don't know what the hell you're so irate about.

I appreciate that many of you have "got my back", but let's let it end here, please. Melman has made the honest mistake that others have made and will make in the future. In due course, he'll understand that his Don is an acquired taste and we'll get along just fine.
Back to our subject of Lingo, I was unable to catch the telecast last evening where $28K was up for grabs. Was it won? Thank you.

Nope, but as is usually the case, the $5K was won. The jackpot will be at $29K tonight, and if it is not won, will be a tied-for-season-high of $30K tomorrow.

Thanks for the fast answer, but a question here. Didn't the top dollar go for $31000 the night before J.D. was on?

According to JD's report of the 5/4 Lingo, the jackpot was indeed $31K that night.

Very fine. So we haven't quite tied the record yet. But we're close as the military team of Bradford and Meg nailed 9 words in Bonus Lingo and lingoed on the second pull for a $5000 night. The Friday jackpot is at $30K.
