Brett scores her 10th H/H match today! This moves her up above Bert Convy, who is actually a very good player and had been ahead of Brett and Richard for months and months and months. The amazing thing was that right before the audience match, the contestant quipped: "My wife said she'd kill me if I didn't pick Richard Dawson!" And then he goes on to pick Richard, Gary, and Orson for suggestions. It's fairly unusual for a contestant to choose a celeb for the H/H match without first choosing them for an audience match suggestion. But it worked out for the contestant today, and it's always a treat to see Brett play (and win) the H/H match! Here's the updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: TIE: Orson Bean - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 80% (4 wins in 5 attempts). Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Betty - 50% (15 wins in 30 attempts). Fannie - 46.7% (7 wins in 15 attempts). Charles - 45.7% (16 wins in 35 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 36.2% (83 wins in 229 attempts). Brett - 34.5% (10 wins in 29 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 443, excluding the lost/missing episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!")
Lately there have been a lot more questions "aimed" at Brett -- almost daily now, more than those regarding any of the other celebs -- and the Brett questions always seem to provide ample opportunity for everyone to roast her. This reflects not only Brett's willingness to laugh at herself, but also her vast popularity among the home viewing audience at the time.
Gene was such a clown. I loved how he didn’t take himself too seriously. He let Betty pull up his trouser leg and he just went with it! Once Bob Barker was on there and they threatened to mess up His hair and he almost lost his mind! Richard is so funny... when he made the funny voice. Everyone who did it was funny but his timing .. priceless.
I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Eden Ameer i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Richards play on words face and faith healer was hilarious. Gone are the innocent days when we didn’t have to be politically correct. Well not for me tho, I wasn’t born yet....
Brett acted like such an immature 16yr old w/Gene. She stares at him w/those droopy bloodshot eyes & says I love you. How embarrassing for her family !!!!
It’s a “bundle of sticks for fuel” and was in the dictionary at least up to the 90s and probably a lot longer. I can’t imagine anyone not knowing that, especially in 2000; the definition was used frequently when people used the word disparagingly.
Rafael Aviles it’s not about someone else getting a chance, it’s about picking the person that is gonna help you win the money. If I was the contestant.. screw not hurting someones feelings. I want to win. Lol That’s why they came up with the wheel and that’s when people stopped winning as much and the show went into decline. Richard can’t help he was good and had natural instinct.
@@Heavenzvoice No the show went decline thanks to the bad decision on CBS part to move the show from the afternoon slot to the morning for a month and then move it back. The show lost it's core audience thanks to that move. They came up with the Star Wheel because Richard wanted out of his contact so they were preparing for Richard to leave the show. I like it better thou, at least you didn't really had an idea who the contestants would pick each time and gave the other a change to show they could to match in the head to head. Althou Richard was good, so was Charles, Fannie, Betty and others, Joyce was 3 for 3 at one time early in the series, who didn't get the chance as much to do it but were just as good. Even Fannie hit several in one week that was out this world.. ;0)
Yes, THANK YOU. Brett has some brilliant matches too. I know she gets nervous but I actually made a playlist of Brett Somers Match Game Wins. I love her so much and I'm always so happy when she matches.
@@Heavenzvoice no, other stars deserve a chance too. Brett has some brilliant wins and so does Charles and Betty. It's not all Richard, Richard, Richard.

Dam Brett looks like she can barely contain herself when Gary says anything. I guess it's been hard on her too. I wish she would let him have it. I am sure she is going to give Charles an 👂 🌝
Sometimes Gary went too far, he picked on Brett unnecessarily. Brett was a nice looking woman, she was on stage, I've seen some of her earlier pictures. Brett and Charles had a playful routine. Charles could not be replaced Gary should been a little more respectful. Some of his joke was more annoying than funny. Now I like Gary but he tried to hard to get Attention on Match Game. Brett was a professional knew when not to take it personal. Love, respect and positivity always. Vee.✌️🖖🕯️💕🙂👋.
jeff, there is nothing wrong with what Orson said. Look up the word in Webster's Collegiate and you'll find that one of the definitions is " a bundle of sticks"
@@jimwilloughby Orson committed the same sort of faux pas as saying what a Gay Day!! It isn't homophobic, nor intended to be, but rather just flat ignorant that there exists this world of hatred and oppression. It's still pretty damnable.
@@LynxSouth A faux pas is never damnable, sir. He may not have intended offense, but he should have been aware, even then, that he was inflaming the situation.
This is the second time I've seen a Match Game episode where Orson Bean used a derogatory comment regarding homosexuality. I'm leaning towards closet case with this dude, else he was just a complete as*****.
holy shit... 13:25, Orson says "flaming faggot", doesn't he? i realize he's making a double entendre using the original definition of "faggot", but there's some vintage gay-bashing there. wow. the 70s weren't as liberal as i heard
Liberals were against banning things and VERY free speech, as this show is… I think you have the sides mixed up. This is the definition of the word liberal: willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.
30 more episodes until Charles Nelson Reilly returns!
Ugh that will be an eternity to wait! Lol
GOOD FOR HIM!!! DON'T LEAVE GARY!!!!

“ her face ain’t hanging down..THAT MUCH!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:04 another look expressing Brett's hatred of Gary. Anybody else she would have bantered with but she refuses to rise to his bait.
And Gary gives her the same looks
Say what you will about Brett but she really had a great sense of humor and wasn't afraid to laugh at herself.
Lately there have been a lot more questions "aimed" at Brett -- almost daily now, more than those regarding any of the other celebs -- and the Brett questions always seem to provide ample opportunity for everyone to roast her.

"Mork calling Orson. Come innn Orson!"

Betty hides Richard's chair if he leaves it to go to the men's room or someplace

Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
Boy George was the first thing that came to my mind but i know he wasnt around back then 🤣🤣😂 so then i thought curious george
Sure he was, although he was only 14 and not famous yet.
Right on,Betty. I would have matched you with magician too✌
Question 1: Answer - Magician
Question 2: Answer - Minerals
Question 3: Answer - Boot
Question 4: Answer - By or Gorgeous or
Curious
Question 5: Answer - Pacific
Far out! Haven't heard that in years
What?
When I was a kid I remember hearing "far out and fancy free!"
Orson looks like Howdy Doody there.
On this date in 1916, Bill Todman was born.. ;0)
This must be the after lunch or the last show of they film in the day because they are all a hoot. Or they had mimosas for lunch 😄
Richards play on words face and faith healer was hilarious. Gone are the innocent days when we didn’t have to be politically correct. Well not for me tho, I wasn’t born yet....
Um NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it wasn't!!!!!!!!!!!
Brett acted like such an immature 16yr old w/Gene. She stares at him w/those droopy bloodshot eyes & says I love you. How embarrassing for her family !!!!
HAHAHAHA, I think you mean how embarrassing for YOUR family for that idiotic comment!
100%
It is banned today because nobody who was under 40 (30?) in 2000 would know that the word means "bunch of sticks"!
And apparently you don't know what a double entendre is.
@@FloyminSo you admit you have no idea what a double entendre is. Got it.
It’s a “bundle of sticks for fuel” and was in the dictionary at least up to the 90s and probably a lot longer. I can’t imagine anyone not knowing that, especially in 2000; the definition was used frequently when people used the word disparagingly.
@@thomaswashburn3513 I don't understand how "bundle of sticks" could be used in a disparaging manner.
It really gets old with BETTY messing with genes pant leg
Why didn't you trust me??!
Why doesn't Richard say that now? Ugh
Finally! Brett was picked! Richard's chill and all, but someone else needs to do it for once.
Rafael Aviles it’s not about someone else getting a chance, it’s about picking the person that is gonna help you win the money. If I was the contestant.. screw not hurting someones feelings. I want to win. Lol
That’s why they came up with the wheel and that’s when people stopped winning as much and the show went into decline. Richard can’t help he was good and had natural instinct.

That why the wheel was invented and it pissed Richard off and he left in 78. The show died in 79.

GIVE IT A REST ALREADY!!! You know VERY WELL that Gary has been good this past "month"
Orson is borrowing CNRs look. Good for him.
Led Zeppelin song , The Ocean !!!
The title mentions Gene's blue socks with brown suit......But what about the red tie with the multicolored brown plaid jacket. No.
I thought gun was a great answer ✌
That's the first thing I thought of.
WHO IS GLADYS GEORGE??
I didn't know either.
Phyllis GEORGE. Former Miss America.
KNEE-ful things?
Christopher George
Buzzr skipped this episode earlier this week and again today during the Saturday mini marathon. Looks like your skips guide is getting an addition.
ttdkitrules sad! Really utterly sad!
@@MatchGameProductions Yes, it really is sad when an entire show is skipped over one word. Whatever happened to editing and / or muting it out?
Sometimes Gary went too far, he picked on Brett unnecessarily. Brett was a nice looking woman, she was on stage, I've seen some of her earlier pictures. Brett and Charles had a playful routine. Charles could not be replaced
Gary should been a little more respectful. Some of his joke was more annoying than funny. Now I like Gary but he tried to hard to get Attention on Match Game. Brett was a professional knew when not to take it personal. Love, respect and positivity always. Vee.✌️🖖🕯️💕🙂👋.
brett HATES gary, its so funny
I've seen her hug him.
@@pencils812 Oh, but SHE knows
Pacific Ocean ✌
What about Curious George?
The way Orson said it was in a context of rounds of cigarettes in a revolver.
@@VahanNisanian In Orson's case, it was flaming sticks.
@@VahanNisanian That also miss some episodes that I thought they would ban but didn't.. Can't figure them out..
Miss Gene
Gary, your time is running out - MERCIFULLY! Watching you is like babysitting a bad child while the parents are on vacation.
I don’t know who is worse to watch - Brett, Orson, or Gary. They never shut up. One is stupider than the other.
DON'T LEAVE GARY!!!!!!
Why Banned
The word "Faggot" has been mentioned a few times and each episode has been banned, as if anyone any cares about it
I love Brett! She’s great!
Gene you are digging yourself into a hole with Brett.. ;0)
really orson? really?

@@LynxSouth A faux pas is never damnable, sir. He may not have intended offense, but he should have been aware, even then, that he was inflaming the situation.
@@ROLtheWolf How can using a word correctly, in a completely different context with no reference to any other situation, possibly be inflammatory?
It seems ridiculous to skip an entire episode when the offensive term could have just been censored.
I understood the context of the term, so, no sweat. I'm still offended though when on another occasion I heard Ed Begley Jr. refer to f*****s.
Yeah Brett.
What did she do?
Orson is a jerk anyway, you can't take him seriously.
This is the second time I've seen a Match Game episode where Orson Bean used a derogatory comment regarding homosexuality. I'm leaning towards closet case with this dude, else he was just a complete as*****.
Pick up a pre-"woke" dictionary and figure it out.
holy shit... 13:25, Orson says "flaming faggot", doesn't he? i realize he's making a double entendre using the original definition of "faggot", but there's some vintage gay-bashing there. wow. the 70s weren't as liberal as i heard
There wasn't any bashing here, Orson was talking about the villagers torches in the Frankenstein movie.
@@Tracker66 BUT......Orson wasn't an innocent, and wasn't PC at any time. He knew what he was saying.
Liberals were against banning things and VERY free speech, as this show is…
I think you have the sides mixed up.
This is the definition of the word liberal: willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.
