It's just not the same. She had great chemistry with Chuck. I'm really disappointed :(

You hit the nail on the head. New Lingo totally sucks in this new format. It is not like they needed a co-host for the show, but the back and forth banter was actually good for the show most of the time. Plus, having a good looking female co-host doesn't hurt (or else, why would Wheel of Fortune still need Vanna? she doesn't even turn the letters anymore, lol)

And what the heck is with giving the contestants clues?!? Is this "Lingo for Dummies" now? Used to be my favorite game show, too.

I know what you mean by the clues. I watched a few episodes here and there and there seems to be a lot more turnovers because the contestants are trying to think of a word that corresponds with the clue instead of just guessing words.

Same here. Between the lame clues, unfunny jokes the host makes (seriously, who hired Engvall?), the weird 'future' looking set, and the constant commercials worked into the show (progressive balls, cost plus world market cards, etc), the new version is garbage...
