00:21Today on 25 Words or Less, casting producers for the Real Housewives franchise describe her as a bit much, even for us.
00:30It's Mary McCormack.
00:31And joining Mary, her college roommates, Rashika and Pregna.
00:35You know him from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the TV show that took five gay men and made two of them famous.
00:41It's Carson Kressley.
00:43And joining him are our returning champion sisters, Jessica and Christina.
00:48And now here's your host, Meredith Vieira.
00:51Welcome to 25 Words or Less.
00:55And so they meet again, Mary and Carson.
00:59You have played opposite each other in the past.
01:01How are you feeling today, Mary?
01:03It's an old rivalry.
01:03It is an old rivalry.
01:05I don't like it.
01:06I mean, listen, I will give credit where credit's due.
01:09He's a ringer.
01:10He's real good.
01:11I've produced the show, so I know who's really good.
01:13And I'm up for a fight today, but I'm up for it.
01:15I can do it.
01:16I don't even know what a ringer is, but I'll take it.
01:19That's sports talk.
01:20Oh, is that what it is?
01:21Um, what a hat trick you pulled there, Mary.
01:24Carson, are you a little nervous when you're playing against someone like Mary?
01:27Uh, Mary literally invented this game.
01:29Yeah.
01:30Um, so yeah, I'm nervous when we start out.
01:32Maybe I'll warm up.
01:33In the beginning, I'll be like, I can name it in 47 words.
01:36I'm sure your team loves hearing.
01:38By the end of the week, I'll be like, I can do it in one.
01:42Just blink.
01:43Well, I'm telling you, we're going to have a very good show because we've got college
01:47roommates taking on sisters.
01:49It's going to be a good game.
01:50One of these teams will get a chance to play for $10,000.
01:53So let's get started.
01:55Mary, Carson, you're up.
01:56Okay.
01:57Let's see your list.
01:58You have 45 seconds to get your teammates to guess all five using as few words as possible.
02:04I'm going to set the opening bid at 19 words.
02:07Carson, start us all.
02:08Oh, gosh.
02:09Me already?
02:10Yes, you already.
02:11Not even warmed up.
02:12Um, 19 words.
02:15Um, I could do 17.
02:18Wow.
02:18Talk about not warmed up.
02:20Jeez Louise, you're not even looking at the list.
02:22Exactly.
02:22I mean.
02:23He's reckless.
02:24I will do 16.
02:29Okay.
02:31Um, I'll do 15.
02:33Okay.
02:35I'll do 14.
02:41Ooh.

04:40You've got plans for that money.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Well, we want to take a vacation together with our mom because we don't get to see each
04:47other very often, like once a year.
04:49We all live in different states.
04:51Where do you want to take her?
04:53On a cruise to the Caribbean, you know.
04:56Nice.
04:57Without husbands or anything like that?
05:00Husbands, kids, stay home.
05:01Okay.
05:02Enough.

05:21You're 19.
05:22Is that right?
05:23Yes, we are.
05:24So I'm just curious what it means to you to be on this show.
05:28Yeah.
05:29Well, me and Rashika have been friends for two years now, roommates for the past year, and
05:33I guess we just wanted to try something new.
05:35Honestly, just doing it for the plot, you know, adding to the storyline.
05:40I love it.
05:40That's very cool.
05:41And you're both Georgia Tech, right?
05:43Yes, we are.

07:04Wait, Wordscape Solitaire.
07:05The newest member of the Wordscape family in the world's first ever word and solitary game matchup.
07:08Welcome back to 25 words or less.
07:14A little recap here.
07:15Rashika and Pregna have no points yet.
07:17Jessica and Christina have 500 points.
07:20Let's meet our superfan for today from our sister station, Fox 9 Plus, in Oakdale, Minnesota.
07:26It's Jessica.
07:28Hey, Jessica.
07:28Welcome to 25 words or less.
07:31Who's that buddy with you?
07:33Oh, this is Luna.
07:35She's my dog.
07:35See, the two reasons why I already love you.
07:37You have a dog and you've got wine behind you, it looks like.
07:40Yeah, okay.
07:41Yep.
07:41My favorite wine is Chardonnay.
07:43I'll be celebrating with it if I win today.
07:45Jessica, mine as well, Chardonnay.
07:48I wish I could celebrate with you, but I will in spirit for sure.
07:51How did you get hooked on this show?
07:53How did you find us?
07:55Actually, a good friend of mine was a superfan a while ago.
07:58And of course, I wanted to tune in and watch her.
08:01I'd never seen the show before.
08:03Then I realized how cool the show was, fell in love with it, and I've been a fan ever since.
08:07Did your friend win when she was a superfan?
08:10She won the game.
08:13She got the $1,000?
08:14No, she won the game.
08:17The game that you guys sent.
08:18Oh, she won.
08:19The consolation fight.
08:19All right.
08:20So let's go for the $1,000.
08:23What do you think?
08:24Yes.
08:24Let's try that today.
08:25Let's try that.
08:26All right.
08:27Remember, guys, when our teams win big, Jessica wins big.
08:30If we have a $10,000 winner on the show today, Jessica gets $1,000.
08:34If we don't have a $10,000 winner on the show, we're still rewarding Jessica for watching with a copy of our home game.
08:41Jessica, wish our teams luck.
08:43Good luck, guys.
08:45Okay, we'll check in with you and Luna in just a little bit.
08:48Pregna and Christina, it's your turn to play.
08:50Let's see your list.
08:52I'm setting the opening bid at 23 words.
08:55Christina, please start the bidding.
08:58I can do this in 22 words.
09:02I'm going to let you have it.
09:03Oh, okay.

09:50Burger King.
09:51Oh, because is that what you had last night?
09:52Yes.
09:53Oh, okay.
09:54I was thinking, where did that come out of?
09:56That was great guessing, great clue giving.
09:59You get the points.
10:00Jessica and Christina, you're at 750 points.
10:03Rashika and Pregna, no points yet, but do not worry.
10:06It is truly anyone's game.
10:09When we come back, we'll find out if it is Rashika and Pregna or Jessica and Christina.
10:12We'll get to play for $10,000.
10:16I figured that had to be it.
10:18I figured I'd do that.
10:21Welcome back to 25 Words or Less.
10:25All right, let's see how our teams are doing.
10:28Team Mary, Rashika and Pregna have no points yet.
10:31On the other side, we've got Team Carson, Jessica and Christina, and they are at 750.
10:36Remember, whichever team is in the lead at the end of this round will move on to play for $10,000.
10:41Once again, we have got a little something extra for our teams, brought to you by the folks at Wordscapes Solitaire.

11:07If you choose one of these words and your team guesses it correctly, that team gets a $250 bonus brought to you by Wordscapes Solitaire.
11:14Hey, Mary, Carson, you're going to be choosing your own words for this round.
11:18So, contestants, all you have to do is put on those headphones, listen to the music, relax while these guys get to work.

12:09This 19 thing has me spooked.
12:12Would they know kilt?
12:13I know, right?
12:15Astroturf, because I need some points.
12:17Yeah, you're right.

12:43Oh, gosh.
12:44Yeah, I know.
12:45Well, she needs the points, obviously.
12:46I do need points.
12:46I can't win it if I don't get some of these.
12:48You're right.
12:49And Injure was the other Wordscapes Solitaire word, but that's gone now.
