Dating Game 11/86

[@mattiedavies2589]

She looked so disappointed when #3 came around the corner! LOL! 😂😜

[@Westminsterfan1981]

She said “oh no” when number three walked off after he kissed her. She knew she made the wrong pick.

[@rebeccalavoy6655]

I agree. I liked number 3. He was cute, but not arrogant.

[@Pinkblueflowerlady]

What was wrong with him?

[@Stew5166]

She wouldn't even look at #1 after the initial let down! 😢

[@beyondthepale9071]

She wanted a Michael Landon type - oops - that was #3

[@89granville]

Man do I miss the old school tv 📺

[@eytannavon3018]

Didn’t like the part where they put the other bachelors down....

[@Despond]

Notice how she kept relooking at #3 then compare the eye contact and body langauge when #2 who she picked came lol.

[@LousOldAndNews]

Actually, I was #2, Louie, Not Tom who was #1. She didn't pick #''s 2 or 3! I was pretty disappointed when I came around the corner and blurted "Whoa!"; It was an automatic response, Candy looked GREAT! Yes, she was eyeballing Gabe, #3, but that was ok as he was a very cool guy too, but she picked Tom, #1, not so cool as I remember. The opening was scripted. They did not tell us that until about 5 minutes before we went on the air! I would have never said 'Hey Candy Hello', or say that I throw 'Rolodex Parties' as a good way to meet Women!(?), that makes no sense, but that's what Elaine said to say, period! Elaine then warned us to not try and be funny with her or comment if she said something wrong, and warned us, DO NOT try and kiss her or try to be funnier than her! She was booooed during the commercials because she had warnings for the audience too. My acting coach was in the audience, Brian Bender with Casting Unlimited, and he started a chant during one of the commercials 'We want Jim Lang', that really pissed her off. She only smiled on cue otherwise she was just mean! Sorry Elaine, but you could have been cooler and that's what I would have remembered and written. Normally I am not at a loss for words but when that Red Light came on the camera I couldn't think of anything to say, let alone something quick and witty/funny. When you audition you sit with 10 guys and 1 girl behind a curtain, and you all have to answer the question in turn. If you were near the end of the seats most witty things to say were already said but I was killing it so after 2 call backs I was on the show. I clammed up badly! My Ma VHS taped over some College Football Game, thankfully as it's fun to see it even though I lost. When you lose you get kicked out through a steel door with no handle on the outside of the door into a dirty alley off one of the streets near Hollywood Blvd, can't remember which one, but it shut hard and fast. Pretty sure what Gabe was talking about when answering one of the questions about being a Dumb Jock, what he had in 'His Sock', was a Lid of Reefer. Pretty sure we smoked a Joint in the alley before we went in which kind of explains the stupid looking smile I had! I had a blast doing it and I'm glad I did. Hollywood was a TRIP in the mid 80's! You didn't want to go there if you didn't have to especially after dark. What sucked even more were the consolation prizes for losing. They spelled my name wrong as Louise instead of Louis so I ended up with Legg's Nylons and some Maybelline Cosmetics! Can't Win for Losing! The best ever chance I have ever had to use that phrase! I went to the Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Blvd for a Cocktail afterwards to laugh it up with Brian and the Bartender happened to be the beautiful girl who was in a popular Toothpaste commercial. She is the one that was on skates at an ice rink. I thought I wanted to try and chat it up with her but after a while I knew it was time to go as she must have brushed her teeth in the glass wash sink 10 times over the time it took to drink 2 cocktails. A little too obsessive about her money maker smile. I wonder if Candy, Gabe, or Tom ever read this? Tom did have the best answers, that's how you win! Although his comment about what letter I should wear, the Letter "O" for Ozone Polluter was a shot at me because he saw me Smoking as he arrived. He imagined he would let her know I smoked as smoking pollutes the environment(?), pollutes the Ozone? Elaine screwed up the only good answer I thought of when I said he should wear the letter "T" for Tortoise ( I thought Tortoise sounded funnier in my head than Turtle) I was about to follow up with 'He should wear it because if I was that ugly I'd want a way to hide my head', but Elaine jumped in with 'Why, because he is a little slow(?)' and all I could do is say yeah, lest I suffer her wrath as she promised. She got No Laughs, if you go back and watch, for her effort and I did not want her help! My reply, I tell myself, might have made the difference! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! …. Pretty cool though, 66.5k Views, 112 Comments, and 338 LIKES, No Thumbs Down! So, please try and keep the Comments clean and fun! At least there haven't been any derogatory, or any comments at all about me! Don't know which is worse? AND, please, if anyone knows the whereabouts of Brian Bender who changed his name legally to "Earthquake Jones" who owned Casting Unlimited on Hollywood Blvd to comment here as I would love to see or talk to my old Friend, Acting, and Tennis Coach! Inside Joke if you happen to know "Earthquake Jones"! He had a few small parts in a few movies too in his original name Brian Bender, as well as being the head bouncer at the Rainbow Bar and Grill on Sunset for a while, who was originally from Chicago, like me, where he worked as head bouncer at a number of places.

I loved the 80s and 90s. Women had shoulder pads, big hairstyles, and large earrings. I was a sucker for any woman who had big hair, something you could really run your fingers through.

[@tidefanyankee2428]

Can't say if Candy did go or not. I imagine she could have been an aspiring actress though, certainly beautiful.

[@suzannelawson9215]

Wonder if any average looking women were ever selected to be a contestant? From watching this program awhile it seems like some of the male contestants were average looking but very few women contestants were in the average looking category.

[@LousOldAndNews]

That's a really good observation. I often wonder why they don't have more "average looking" men and women, in everything. Although there is Math to prove what our mind perceives as beautiful stemming from the Fibonacci Sequence, Face Mapping, which is something we all see. If they did would people not watch? I would love to see more "average looking" people in everything, I think? Of course I would as I was Bachelor #2, Louie and I posted this Video, although the selection was by design intended to protect against that, kind of, at least from the contestants point of view. I didn't know what Candy looked like till I rounded the corner and when I did I said, Whoa! She was pretty! Who knows she could have also been a great person. Maybe she's a Volunteer Firewoman that is the town Cat and Dog Rescue Person who spends her Holidays at the Salvation Army Dishing out Food, but I digress!

[@suzannelawson9215]

@@LousOldAndNews Yes, you are very observant. I know they say "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" but can you think of any well known actresses who are not pretty or beautiful, current or from the past? If you think of all the many, many sitcoms for example, like "Friends" just as one, ALL the actresses are extremely good looking. If a woman wanted to get into that field, really loved acting, would any producer be interested to cast her, if she was average and not great looking? Even the very, very talented singers who are very famous such as Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Joni Mitchell are all beautiful looking. Yes, they all are incredibly talented but wonder if they were only at best, average looking, would they have still become super stars?
