Gene's heartfelt exchange with Janie at 06:58 about their shared experience with airsickness is weirdly hilarious. But Jo Anne's comment at the end is priceless: "Wonderful story," follow by Fannie shouting "Dinner break!" Ew, but I'm still laughing.
H/H match update: ... Today's action: Our champion won her second game in the final moments of the last program, so we start right off today with the Super Match... Today's (first) audience match question: "Bing _________" (My thoughts: Cherry, Crosby, Bang bong??? -- I pity the third-chosen celebrity today!) The celebs: Charles (Crosby), Richard (-o), and Jo Anne (bang) The choice: Crosby The answers: O, Cherry, Crosby (Wow! This is the fourth day in a row that Charles has come up with the top answer on the board!) Last time our champion chose Richard, but didn't match. Generally, the contestants who choose Richard tend to stick with him, even after two or even three misses. Today I think there's a chance that she might try Charles, since she's taken his audience match suggestion two days in a row. Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part, but we'll see... "I'll go with Charles this time," she says. Wow! Did she really say that, or am I just imagining it? This is CNR's first time at the H/H since way back in episode 631 and 628 before that (he matched both times). Looking back a little further, he played in 532, 536, and 537 (all losses), but he matched in 530. Well, enough history! Let's roll the video... Today's H/H question: "Ugly __________" (This strikes me as one of the easier H/H questions. I think "duckling" is the best possible answer. A possible modern alternative would be "Ugly Betty" the TV series, but that's out of consideration for 1976.) The contestant is nodding, indicating that she's already thought of her answer and is happy with it. Charles is a bit more cautious, thinking it over a moment and glancing at Brett. When he writes his answer, it's clearly on the long side, suggesting to me that "duckling" is a possibility. The contestant says she's ready, but Gene dutifully reads the question one more time and shows her the card. She confidently says "duckling" and receives a wild round of applause. Charles plays coy, dragging out the big reveal. He says that Brett wrote ugly "American" (which is a good answer, one I hadn't thought of). Still, I think "duckling" is the definitive answer... And yes, Charles reveals the winning response! Charles scores his 22nd H/H match today! ~~~After a relatively quick game, our champion returns to center stage for her third go at the big money. Today's (second) audience match question: "Run _________" (My first thought was "Run Joey Run," the hit song I remember from 1975.) The celebs: Charles (for your life), Fannie (for your money), and Richard (way) The choice: For your life (I think I would've said runway here.) The answers: Joey Run (!!!), Away, For your life (!) (Had I been the contestant, I would've struck out!) Wow. Five times in a row now that Charles had the top answer! Stay tuned tomorrow for the H/H match! Here's the updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (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). Gary Burghoff - 83.3% (5 wins in 6 attempts). TIE: Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Betty - 50% (17 wins in 34 attempts). TIE: Fannie - 50% (10 wins in 20 attempts). Charles - 48.9% (22 wins in 45 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 41.4% (24 wins in 58 attempts). Richard - 40.3% (167 wins in 414 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 707, excluding the lost/missing/damaged episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, and 645. (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!")
Ugly duckling IS the definitive answer in my opinion, but if I'm not mistaken they ceased using ugly EDNA for ugly Alfria. I got one for ya how about they used her for a javelin
@@a.douggoodwin610 That's great to hear! And she seemed less intimidating as she became more relaxed, and was adorable when she won. I had no idea she was only 26 when she was on the show. Best wishes to her! I hope she has wonderful memories of the experience.
@@annika_panicka we all lose all sorts of things in that amount of time lol, but ubetcha, she holds those moments dear. Incidentally and completely off topic, you have a cool name- my youngest daughter is named Anika.. unsure why we didn't place the other n att.. could've saved her/us on lots of mispronunciations. Good thing now days is, we mostly call her Ani lol 🤷♂️✌
Bing CROSBY ($500 match) Ugly DUCKLING (DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!) A customer came in and started using the skinny sales girl as a MANNEQUIN. (Lame and wrong, couldn't think of anything ... Bzzt!) I can't stop him from LYING. (Four matches.) He brought CARROTS for the bunnies. (Four matches.) He's going to BLOW up. (Two out of two matches.) Run AWAY. ($250 match)
I wonder if Fanny was more bisexual instead of lesbian with the way she always acts toward the good looking guys. Or maybe it's just a cover up. hmmmmm
I'm a big fan of Richard Dawson, but it's nice to see other celebrities being picked for the Super Match!
I hate that they eventually added the wheel.
Charles was so adorable!! I love the way he comes down to her. What a sweetie 😘. Dang my first thought was Edna
LOL! Me too
I love when Charles acts/talks "butch" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He's a hoot ❤
Thank you for a winning player Charles, chosen on his own to win and the contestant won!
Run Forrest, run
just a decade or so too soon
closer to two,1994
These guys need to get it together on The Godfather. Twice now. Vito said to the godfather. Vito IS the godfather. Vito Corleone. 🙄
The pretty lady they zeroed in on in the audience at break time was a previous contestant.

That's how you can tell if a politician is lying. You can see their lips move.
Here we go again, Vito IS the Godfather, when will they ever learn. Oh my Lord I can't BELIEVE run Joey run made the audience match

i died when fannie showed her coat rack answer!😂
Me too! That Fannie look.😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆
I adore CNR and accept him for all that he was, but he looked so lovely embraced w/contestant Carol 🥰
Brett really had a thing for the first seaters didn’t she? Lol

Hmm I believe they have had dumb Donald question before because every time, when Patti is on, she complains that he isn't dumb..
Patti’s husband is named Donald.
Well he was just on and he's a terrible flirt.
Richard, Brett, and Patti Deutsch all smoked cigs on set.
Good on Ron, to turn on his 'Horshack' voice!
Contestant Carol looks like the lovechild of Helen Hunt and Glenn Close. She's attractive (not fatally😉) in a slightly intimidating way.
Carol is my mom.. and at now 75; has still got it!
Thank you for the kind words🤗

They should have matched talking with lying because with politicians it's the same thing
Yes.
I wonder if Fanny was more bisexual instead of lesbian with the way she always acts toward the good looking guys. Or maybe it's just a cover up. hmmmmm
People can be very fluid. Perhaps she was, and is. It's her business, right?
I dont want to know. Leave me to my childhood innocence.
Idt it's a cover i believe she is bi
What does it matter at this point.

On this date in 1921, Steve Allen was born..
Brett is a total embarrassment to herself, not Charles.
I've got a crush on Gene.
I notice that you keep writing this.

Brett is the total embarrassment on the show and no one else is just her Brett
She irritated a lot of people but I've grown to accept and like her over time. She's part of the regulars. She's trying her best to improve the show.
