There you go. The only one playing this game seriously and one true clue giver....welcome back Melissa🥳

Love Melissas bangs.

Jennifer is SUCH a good guesser!!!!!! Blended family??????

[@johnsmi213]

Excuse me????? Is the 25 Words or Less goddess Melissa Peterman back?!?!

[@eliasshakkour2904]

OMG Tina gave me so much anxiety with COUSIN!!!!! UNCLE’s CHILD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so worried they wouldn’t make it!!!!!!!!! They’re such a strong team!!!!!!! 💪 💪 💪

[@johnsmi213]

Yeah, I was playing along without looking at the word and when Jennifer guessed "Cousin," I was like "Huh?" But man, the way Jennifer's mind works. She can figure out anything from the most cryptic suggestion.

[@ireallyhatebraindeadsheep69420]

I was yelling opposite on to get off, that would have been a great follow-up!

[@avsvfc]

Oh, I was, too!!! But Melissa "s back! Can't stress enough how much I LOVE Melissa!!

[@ireallyhatebraindeadsheep69420]

Jennifer is such a great guesser, and so clutch at key moments 🤩. Tina’s clues spot on like always 🙌. Melissa never left her form from the game either. Congratulations 🥳 ladies enjoy 🎉 the money 💰!

Due to a million reasons, I haven't had a chance to watch for a while. I'm now binge-watching to catch up. MELISSA HAS RETURNED! So great to see her, she has been missed!! Wow, Tina saying "bathroom - opposite vacant" - brilliant clue!!!

[@Theadambshapiro]

That was a nail biter, but they really pulled it out in the final seconds. Good for them

[@johnsmi213]

Tina is an impeccable clue giver and Jennifer is an impeccable guesser. Now it's just the celebrities who will ruin it for them.

[@lashendawest7509]

Great video and episode

[@tjmowoe]

Noticed what you guys did with the intro. Very nice. And to finally see Jamie. I wouldn’t have guessed 😂

[@eliasshakkour2904]

What did they do with the intro? I didn’t notice lol … do you mean the little clip before the “official” intro?

[@tjmowoe]

@@eliasshakkour2904 yeah. The excerpt from the show. It’s a nice touch

[@johnsmi213]

@@eliasshakkour2904Melissa's return is so coveted, they had to put in one of her off-camera quips. She's so beloved, I posted how excited I was that she was back just from the thumbnail and then all the comments say the same thing. Then I watch the episode and it begins with everyone excited Melissa is there, including Jamie who had to give her a hug on camera.

[@tammywheeler-wy3pl]

Melissa ❤

[@richardsimwala]

That was awesome you guys.

[@ireallyhatebraindeadsheep69420]

Pass on 19 😮. When idle came up, I immediately thought of American Idol (homophone). Tina’s brain 🧠 is massive 🫡 .

[@johnsmi213]

Or she didn't know who James Bond was.

[@academicrow]

❤❤❤ yeah Jennifer 🎉

My bad dealing with some stuff.

Love it and Lol

[@Dilaxan123]

I don't understand Why Hayden bid down to 11 words if he needed 4 clues for "Ruffles" and 3 for "Will"

[@Mr21scott]

For the same reason his sister gave up at 132 words or whatever it was. They don't even try.

[@johnsmi213]

I think he thought of bidding as a way to get to play and didn't calculate that he would have a word limitation.

[@eliasshakkour2904]

FINALLY...2 even matched celebs. Been a while since that happened

[@eliasshakkour2904]

Or just two good celebs lol

[@johnsmi213]

Meredith said she'd be bad at this show but only she realized the need to say "opposite, on" to get them to "off duty."

[@eliasshakkour2904]

Yes, but she rarely comes out with good clue suggestions - that was an exception. I think she _would_ be bad at this game.

[@heavensgate7337]

Pass on 19? Even if the other team gets all 5, they would still lose. That's why it's important to get as much as you can in the first round. Congrats. Very nice.

[@ireallyhatebraindeadsheep69420]

Income tax what a stinker. I did not have any follow-ups for that, apart from adding annual 🤔. Good pass by Tiya 👏.

[@eliasshakkour2904]

Salary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@eliasshakkour2904]

Madi: We grew up together.

[@eliasshakkour2904]

How is 007 two words??????? I would’ve thought it would either be counted as one word (one unit) or three (double oh seven). What justification is there for two??????

[@johnsmi213]

Probably should have been three (Double 0-7) but the contestant didn't realize that and they didn't want to have to explain that they went one word over. So they compromised with two.

[@eliasshakkour2904]

Melissa is a great player 💪 but her “income tax” performance was poor. Salary withholding/deduction.

[@johnsmi213]

If you're trying to get five clue words said using only 11 words, don't waste one on "blank." GOOD (pause) HUNTING does the same trick. Or you could have said "Fresh Prince" and had them say "Will Smith."

[@eliasshakkour2904]

My first thought was “opposite won’t.”

[@ireallyhatebraindeadsheep69420]

Great pass by Jennifer 👏. I had no idea what ruffles were, he kind of shot himself in the foot there by taking it on 11 after his performance sadly.

[@eliasshakkour2904]

After his performance? That was his first performance.

[@johnsmi213]

Are you from America? They're a potato chip brand. Their slogan is "Ruffles has ridges." He could have just said "chip brand" or "ridges, chip."

[@eliasshakkour2904]

Hayden 🤦🏻 🤦🏻 🤦🏻 Bids down to ELEVEN and then says SYNONYM and runs out of words before the 5th word. Do these people think they’ll magically get extra words to use???????????????? So frustrating. I was literally shaking my head watching him.

[@johnsmi213]

Can't disagree. "Synonym" and "blank" have to be sacrificed with a low word count, even if they're helpful.

[@eliasshakkour2904]

@@johnsmi213I disagree that “synonym” is helpful. “blank,” yes - unless you make up for it through your tone of voice.

[@eliasshakkour2904]

Tiya is a good cluegiver.

[@ellenchristensen7160]

These two women are great! The lady with the longer hair is an amazing guesser. Too bad they will be with Tiya next.

[@eliasshakkour2904]

Tiya is a good player.

[@heavensgate7337]

Yeah shes good.

[@ireallyhatebraindeadsheep69420]

Finally, the queen (Melissa)🫅 is back! It only took three digit worth of episodes in season five 😅. She is looking fabulous!

[@Mr21scott]

She's hosts the other game show, so probably doesn't have time anymore.
