Tiny Rule Change for Next Season of “Lingo”
We’d like to preface this report by saying good luck to former “Lingo” champion Robert McKee, who is currently back playing the game in the new season during the online tournament champions week, where he has a shot to win a huge sum of cash as those episodes are close to the last ones being taped.
We were informed of a tiny tiny rule change to the newest season of “Lingo” which debuts in a few weeks I do believe. We’ve been hearing they’ve limited the number of red balls, AKA stoppers, in the hopper from three to two for this next batch, meaning people, as long as they answer correctly, should be keeping control longer. If we can get some set photos or anything, we’ll fire them up here.
I don’t think that this is a necessary rule change. After comparing the original Lingo to this version I’m thinking that the bonus round needs the biggest change, since once the first ball is drawn, as long as a team has enough they’re sure to win, and we see a lot more wins than losses.
I agree. Any team with 5 or more usually wins. I didn’t see anything wrong with the three stoppers before, and they still haven’t added any bonus balls into the mix. Nothing too exciting.
