H/H match update: ... Today's action: We ended the last show on a bit of a cliffhanger: The champ had just won his third game and scored $100 on the audience match, but his head-to-head question had to be put on hold. For the first time in a while, there's some suspense about who he might choose. He picked Richard the first time and they matched. Then he surprised me big time by choosing Trish (who had just joined the panel at the start of the week, and he even called her "Tish," indicating he didn't know her from Adam, or should I say Eve?), and he scored a $5,000 match with her! So, does he stick with proven winner Trish? Does he return to proven winner Richard? Does he surprise us again by selecting an entirely different star? Note: This is Trish's final week on the panel. If she is chosen again, and matches, she'll earn a spot on the big leader board! I can't wait! "Richard," he says. Oh, well. King Richard's streak was broken yesterday, so this is his first consecutive play, and he's been chosen 119 of the past 131 times. (Charles answered three of the remaining questions, Fannie also took three, and Rosemary Forsyth, Nipsey Russell, Meg Bennett, Scoey Mitchell, Brett, and Trish Stewart got one each.) Stats: Richard has matched 75 of his 174 most recent attempts (43.1%), 58 of his last 131 attempts (44.3%), 38 of his last 81 attempts (46.9%), and 14 of his last 34 attempts (41.2%). His overall success rate is 41.9% and this is his 652nd attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Trish Stewart has matched 2 of her 2 attempts (100%), Bill Daily has matched 2 of his 3 attempts (66.7%), Charles has matched 33 of his 66 attempts (50.0%), and Brett has matched 29 of her 69 attempts (42.0%). Mary hasn't yet been selected to answer a H/H question. *Today's (first) H/H question: "________Convention"* (Yikes. I have no first thought. Shriner's Convention? Yuck. I'm really drawing a blank here.) Richard has thought of something at least. It seems like a longish answer, but he quickly files it. It looks like Mary was holding a card with her suggestion, but I don't think Richard saw it before he was done with his own answer. Our champion says "Republican." Hmm. Granted, it's a valid answer, but I don't think it's likely to match. But then, what do I know? I can't think of anything better! The audience groans, so they seem to share my opinion of the likelihood of achieving a match today. Richard went a more generic route (which is a good strategy): "Political" convention. I don't really like that answer a lot either, but maybe it's the question I don't like because there weren't really any great answers. No H/H match this time. ~~~ Will our champion match all six celebs to stay in the game? After hearing the question, I doubt it. After hearing the champion's answer, I'm sure he won't. Indeed, he matches no one. And so, after three wins and $8,650 in earnings, he spins off into Match Game history. *Today's audience match question: "Key to ________"* (My thoughts: My heart, the city, ???) The celebs: Richard (Kingdom), Brett (The city), Charles (My heart) The choice: The City The answers: The City, My Heart, Success Well, her head-to-head will only be for $100, but it would have been zero if she had only trusted Richard... I suspect she'll choose Richard for the H/H anyway, but maybe not... Yes, this is King Richard's second consecutive play now, and he's been chosen 120 of the past 132 times. (Charles answered three of the remaining questions, Fannie also took three, and Rosemary Forsyth, Nipsey Russell, Meg Bennett, Scoey Mitchell, Brett, and Trish Stewart got one each.) Stats: Richard has matched 75 of his 175 most recent attempts (42.9%), 58 of his last 132 attempts (43.9%), 38 of his last 82 attempts (46.3%), and 14 of his last 35 attempts (40.0%). His overall success rate is *41.9%* and this is his 653rd attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Trish Stewart has matched 2 of her 2 attempts (100%), Bill Daily has matched 2 of his 3 attempts (66.7%), Charles has matched 33 of his 66 attempts (50.0%), and Brett has matched 29 of her 69 attempts (42.0%). Mary hasn't yet been selected to answer a H/H question. *Today's (second) H/H question: "Do you ________?"* (Yikes. Too many choices. Do you understand? Do you hear me? Do you know the way to San Jose? Do you see what I see? Do you fool around? - What on earth could I say?) Undaunted, Richard quickly files his answer. Our new champion says "Love Me." Hmm. Decent answer. I just think there are way too many possibilities to hope for a match this time. Richard shows his card without much preamble: "Believe" No H/H match today. ~~~Here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (Note: An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.)

Maybe. But there are so many people with this name - worldwide. It's an old jewish name named after a very old german town: Speyer. And there are different spellings: Shapiro, Shapira, Schapire, Schapira, Schapiro, Schpiro, Schpira, Spira and Spiro.
@@h76d43 I think that too. Speyer is a beautiful town of the middle ages. I visited it once. It is not far away from here (Wiesbaden, Germany). Sorry, Speyer was founded by the romans over 2,000 years ago.
Danny Hill I noticed that too, like they've won their money, they need to go back home, they cant come back next week, and they just wanna get atta there..
POLITICAL convention (DING, DING, DING, DING, DING!) Jane BANANA taster. (Bzzt!) Superman got his super head stuck in his super TOILET. (1 match - Bill Daily - I should have gone with the "S" answer that always comes with Superman questions, but just couldn't work out how that could be done.) Dumb Dora BURIED her dead engine. (3 out of 3 matches) The condemned man would just as soon SKIP the last mile (skip as in not go down it - at least 3 matches - couldn't see the rest of them.) Key to MY HEART ($250 match) Do you MIND? (Bzzt!) Fidel, Is that your beard or are you eating a CIGAR? (Drew a blank on that one - Bzzt!)
YAAAAAAAAAAY! he picked saint Richard the first, lost the big one with him, picked Trish the second time, won the $5000 with her, and then he goes and loses with saint Richard again (he lost with the lady too. I LOVE it)!!
So many innuendos and puns! Love Match Game! Love the stars on it! Love Richard Dawson and all. Classic television indeed! 💗😜
17:43 Heavy edit after the "Beaver" answer. The cast and audience must have howled for some time.
Shoulda matched Brett's "bush" answer. LOL
Yeah, that was not a subtle smash cut. But honestly, beaver was my first response too.
Wonder why Trish Stewart didn't become more of a mainstream star. She definitely had an "It" girl look to her.

Funny question about D. Rickles At one of his shows he razzed a fairly high up mafia guy and came within a hairsbreath of being eliminated.
True story?
Why is the ending credits always blurry ?
Holy moly Sandra has a serious set of head lamps 🤔😍👍
Thanks for pointing that out.
GROW UP!!!
"He's up on the poop deck." No one was sure if that remark meant more than it said...
8:32 "could i transfer?"
Super "Cape" or "Tights"!!! 😄😁😆
Oh, Richard's idea of Super "Fly" is GENIUS -- the BEST answer!! 😂🤣
i would've matched with POLITICAL convention!
Edited out part after "beaver."
❤️❤️❤️Charles❤️❤️❤️
Totally!
He definitely had the quip of the day when he said he didn't mind having the ink on his glasses because Brett was wearing a see-through blouse!
Key to "THE CITY" 🔑🗝
"Skip" would be the BEST answer because of its double meaning... 😉
COOL Butterfly-shaped
Eyeglasses!!! 🦋👓🤩
'do you blank' is so wide and generic. what are the odds they would think of anything even close to each other?
It's weird. Some are so obviously written for easy matches and others are ridiculously impossible.
What other answer would you say BESIDES "Buried"? 🤷♀️
"Banana" Taster!! 🍌😋
(Why would you want to TASTE a "Vine"? 🤔)
It's a play on the word "wine."

What's up with the Encino hotel reference?
Brett and Gene claimed they rendezvoued there. Idk if it's true or not. Im sure Brett wished it was
I hope that's a JOKE!
@@garfield2439 lol, of course it's not true. If it was, they wouldn't be talking about it on television as much as they do
Do you "MIND"? 🤷♀️
Lived in South Florida for a few decades and I would have to ask " Do you speak English?". Lol
I would have said eating a bird's nest
ME, too, or even a "Squirrel" because of it's long, bushy tail... 🐿
Is Sandra somehow related to Ben Shapiro?
Maybe. But there are so many people with this name - worldwide. It's an old jewish name named after a very old german town: Speyer. And there are different spellings: Shapiro, Shapira, Schapire, Schapira, Schapiro, Schpiro, Schpira, Spira and Spiro.

🤢🤮
Her make up is different.
You need to borrow the lady's butterfly windshield
She's gorgeous when wants to be
"Super S?" Really?
If the question has "Superman" in it, the answer is always, "S". Just like, if the question has Tarzan in it, the answer is, "Loin Cloth".
