H/H match update and End-of-Week Recap: ... ~~~Today's Action: Uh-oh! Our champ needs to match four to tie and five to win... Today's "villainess" turns out to be Debralee. Only Dick matched the contestant with "shower" - everyone else said "bathe" or "take a bath," which was ruled not to be a match... After winning one game, she departs with a grand total of $350. Today's audience match question: "Steamed ________" (My thoughts: Vegetables, Carrots, Broccoli) The celebs: Charles (Clam), Richard (Vegetables), Dick (Heat) The choice: Heat (Yikes!) The answers: Up, Rice, Clams Well, I wouldn't have done any better than the contestant. My first thought was "Vegetables" and when King Richard gave it his imprimatur, I knew it had to be the top answer, right? I mean, you should always trust him (or risk a scolding!). Sadly, no head-to-head question today. ~~~The Week that Was: A perfectly synchronized week was spoiled by today's audience match fail, leaving us 4 H/H questions in total, with only two matches this week: Richard 2/4 Well, after one week off, we're back to another all-Richard H/H week. Twelve of the past 14 weeks have been all-Richard H/H weeks, in fact. Quickly recapping this week's panelists: *Richard* had a great week, matching 2 out of 4 times. He ends with a 41.9% accuracy, not bad! *Charles* sat idle this week, and he remains in a three-way tie with Betty and Fannie at 50.0%. *Brett* sat idle for the 17th consecutive week. *Joyce* Bulifant finished her 27th week of 48 without getting a chance to break that long-standing tie with Jo Anne Worley. (Will we have to wait for the Star Wheel to see her play again?) *Dick* Martin completed his sixth week (of 22) on the Match Game panel, still without answering a single head-to-head question. And *Debralee* Scott finished her third week (of 10), also without ever having been selected for the H/H. ~~~Looking ahead to next week, these are faces we'll see joining our trusty regulars on the panel: -----Semi-regular Betty White will return after her two-week hiatus. She's now locked in a three--way tie on our H/H accuracy leader board with both Charles and Fannie! Will she have a chance to break the tie??? -----Rosemary Forsyth will be back for her second and final week as a Match Game '77 panelist. Her debut was in episode 891, and she never got a chance to play a H/H question that first week on the show. -----Last but not least, Abe Burrows will sit in the first chair for his one and only week as part of the distinguished panel of MG loonies. ~~~Finally, here's our standing 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.) (Note: For tied scores, I consider the one with the greater number of matches to be higher; if the matches are equal, the celeb who first achieved that score goes on top.) Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 71.4% (5 wins in 7 attempts). TIE: Charles - 50.0% (33 wins in 66 attempts). TIE: Betty - 50.0% (19 wins in 38 attempts). TIE: Fannie - 50.0% (13 wins in 26 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 41.9% (255 wins in 608 attempts). Brett - 41.2% (28 wins in 68 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 945, excluding the lost/missing/damaged episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, and 910. (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!") -- Also, note that episode 849 was never produced.
Nidal-Simmons, round 2, question A: "No, a *sensible* person would start taking showers, but *Norman* just doubles up to BATHE." (Bzzt!) Super Match: (if asked before Richard) CARROTS (if asked after Richard) DUMPLINGS Simmons-Holand, round 1, question B: "'He CHARGED ME, and thank goodness I didn't spring for the walnut coffin.'" (Bzzt!) Question A: "I was *sure* this one was a winner; shows you what I know. KENNEL!" (Bzzt!) Round 2, question B: "Ask a tasteless question, and you get an incomprehensible answer - at least from me. LOCAL TECTONIC PLATES." (Bzzt!)
Actually, I'd agree with Ira in this case. Bathing involves a set, limited amount of water. Showering involves an ongoing stream of water. The amount used for one bath may not equal the amount used for one shower. You can more easily conserve water with bathing than showering. If it was a question of, say, what a couple loves to do together, I'd accept bath and shower as the same.
Well, when I take a shower, I am soaping up, washing my hair, and I am not bathing? Then what, on earth, am I doing? Dang, I thought I was bathing this whole time.
@@SecretAgentRandyBeans111 Do some basic listening. They said “together”. A second body in the tub results in less water for a given depth, while a second body in the shower just makes the shower take twice as long, saving absolutely nothing.
Debralee is a very attractive, articulate, intelligent woman - also a little more than mildly crazy - which was a secondary reason she died young. Sad. RIP, lovely lsdy - I hope you've been reunited with the love of your life.
Bathing can refer to taking a shower or taking a bath or rubbing yourself down with a soapy sponge in front of a washbasin. It's a long-standing rule that a specific answer is not a match to a general that includes it.
Yes... Inconsistency 100%! 😠 When it's not the 'Celebrity Match' at the end (when it has to be an exact match), as long as the answers are in the same ballpark and generally mean the same thing it should be considered a match in the regular part of the game, as in "shower" & "bathe" generally mean the same thing (I mean, that's how they've ruled many, many times before)... SMH!!! 🙄😒😠
"It's more fun in the upper ward!" CNR nailed it today!
Charles cracks me up!
So funny!
I think shower and bathe is the same thing, she got robbed.

Ira's extreme hair-splitting will lead directly to the infamous "Schoolhouse Riot" not many episodes hence.

Such a rant from Gene preceding the final commercial.
Must have been Mustache Month at MG headquarters. First Peter Orloff and now this Brett guy!
No one came up with my answer for the dog who thinks he's an undertaker: After he buried his bone, he sent me a bill!

Do some basic googling. The average bath is 35-50 gallons of water. The average shower uses 15.8 gallons.
If shower & bathe was a match she’d still be the champ

Please tell me what happened to her. What year did she pass. I don't know.✌️🖖👋🌷🙂👋. Vee James.
when you take a shower, you are, indeed, bathing - but when you're sitting in a tub bathing, you are NOT showering...is this their logic?.....
Bathing can refer to taking a shower or taking a bath or rubbing yourself down with a soapy sponge in front of a washbasin. It's a long-standing rule that a specific answer is not a match to a general that includes it.
Judges shafted her 😠 there have been several they did that too.🤔
Yes... Inconsistency 100%! 😠

SMH!!! 🙄😒😠
Several they’ve done that to
The reason steam heat didn't make it was because the lead word was steamED
Is there someone out there that can get Gene’s face on a cross country skier while doing old man Periwinkle?
To bad she dint say shower/or/bathe. But i feel they did her wrong
contestant was robbed by the judge
Yes she was. And after spending all that money on clothes.
Debora Gustin - Yep! You don’t go spending money that you don’t have in anticipation of winning money.
I agreeBATHE.
Steamed __Hams!__
Bye bye 😣 Joyce😍 until we meet again 😄
Did you see her show called Big John Little John? It's on TH-cam.
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50?
th-cam.com/video/bEZkCnTKGW4/w-d-xo.html
Yes it are.
Episode 945: Ad-Sign Fillabuster
Brett and Dick are wearing identical outfits. Coincidence or was it Brett making a statement about Dick never changing his clothes between shows?
After dinner show
