[@alexeimscruz2893]

it's the first time I've seen someone won back-to-back $5000 1on1 match ups... way to go Peggy!!!

[@jools01]

Richard and betty were great this episode! i love their friendship. I also think the panel were really rooting for peggy. 5:15 “from pres. Arthur” 😂 if you know, you know. if you don’t know watch episode 183. 11:43 - that was nice of charles. He knows betty is the best at getting her way with the judges. 14:40 “they’re speaking to you, dear” 😂

[@hibiscusfreak]

I love how everyone starts kissing and hugging when someone wins.

[@kevansf]

They shouldn't play it while he's still reading the question.

14:40 Lol! _"They're speaking to you, Dear."_ Richard and Betty were/had so much fun together. Their friendship/office spousehood/repartee was splendid. 16:00 _"We won't play."_ _"Stop talking into my pancake."_ 🥞

[@gerryu21220]

9:43 New Music!

[@kevansf]

I hope they don't keep this new "thinking" music for long! I prefer the classic tune!

[@amberola1b]

Just for the heck of it, I googled Leaping Lena, and the definitions that were given were: a nickname for a vehicle, a nickname for someone or something that leaps the fictional name given to a B-52 bomber in the 1944 movie The Purple Heart the name give to a 1954 cold war hero pigeon the name given to a Vietnam war counterinsurgency operation in Laos, later renamed project DELTA

[@brettmiddleton7949]

It must have been a well-known, popular phrase at some time, to the point where Bob Clampett made fun of it by naming Uncle Captain Huffenpuff's ship the "Leakin' Lena" on "Time for Beany" ("Beany and Cecil"). Digging around the Web, I think I may have unraveled the pop-culture mystery. Kingfish Levinsky was a heavyweight boxing champion in the 1930s who was managed by his sister, Lena Levy. She was apparently very colorful and well known in her own right and was nicknamed "Leaping Lena" for her antics at ringside. I suspect this was the origin of the phrase, later applied to vehicles and other things, including a fishing lure that was made starting in the late 1930s. I can't find any earlier references to the phrase, and most of the uses seem to have arisen in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. So my guess is that this was "Greatest Generation" pop culture, immortalizing "Leaping Lena" Levy.

[@donaldleroy6502]

Peggy was so awesome, I rooted for her all the way, so humble and appreciative. I'm actually 😲 that 🐩 didn't come up for the hair transplant question

Leap of Faith

[@annademo]

A sting is not a bite. The firefighter was robbed.

[@geneburn5769]

Bite is to press the teeth into something; attack with the jaws, bill, sting, etc.; snap:, String is to use, have, or wound with a sting, as bees. Richard and Betty agreed with the match as well. Since everyone was happy that Richard corrected Ira earlier about whales so you going to complain now that Richard was wrong???

[@annademo]

@@geneburn5769 An ant has mandibles that it uses to grasp and tear food (bite) but no stinger. Therefore, it cannot sting. He was robbed. Period.

[@sdlively27]

@@annademo Oh really, Fire ants bite then sting from their abdomen. Solenopsis are stinging ants, and most of their common names reflect this, for example, ginger ants and tropical fire ants. So you don't need a stinger to sting..

[@kathycobb4451]

​@@annademo Better consult your dictionary. Definition: a small sharp-pointed organ at the end of the abdomen of bees, wasps, ants, and scorpions, capable of inflicting a painful or dangerous wound by injecting poison. PERIOD.

[@beckydutra6543]

Sometimes the bite stings. 😉😁

Bonnie was 43 at this time, was married for 65 years! and died in 2015 :(

Simone Guzman thank you. She was very attractive and nice personality. i am somewhat close to Arrowhead.

@Christopher Bingham My grandma was two years younger than that when I was born!

[@peggiegreen4420]

Bite and sting is not the same thing! Unfair for sure!

[@RaineStudio]

Absolutely. I hope they brought that guy back 'cause he got robbed.

[@spotupj]

Cracked up at another President Arthur reference. Poor Allen

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

She took a terrible chance picking Brett for the Super Match but she won anyway. I would have said, "Scotland Yard"

[@amandajstar]

I thought of 'junk yard'.

[@kevansf]

She did better with Brett than with Richard today.

[@kristabrewer6736]

Am I hallucinating or did that music suddenly change at 16 minutes!

[@UNOwen1]

Than you Ms White, for always being slightly naught (14:57).

[@hollystiener16]

Bite and sting are not at all the same!

[@randydellinger2996]

Super Bowl

[@jamesage24]

That would be the most popular answer today. But in 1974 there were only 8 of them up to that point, and they were all duds.

[@Droosmom1970]

Bonnie was so cute, and I loved her outfit. Is it me or were colors more vibrant and pretty back then? Everyone these days wears black, brown and gray.

[@aracelyguerrero360]

Bobby died young. So sad. and i didnt realize Elaine is his wife.

[@deerfriend958]

Ugh, Richard, c'mon man, the lady is from North Hollywood. He threw out Hollywood bowl. Rare mistake by the master.

[@yena-wq4jd]

Bite and sting ? smh

[@gregorycanfield6232]

As someone else pointed out, "sting" and 'bite" are not the same. This woman was able to win a lot of extra money, because she was given matches that she didn't deserve. If the firefighter had gotten that question and given the same answer, would they have been so liberal in his case? He should have protested.

[@helenlogsdon7822]

We noticed

[@sd31263]

"If the firefighter had gotten that question and given the same answer, would they have been so liberal in his case?" -- Yes, they would have. You'd like to believe it's because she was black that they "helped" her.

Elaine was always playing with her hair. Wonder what that was all about, to get attention?

[@dannyboyy8465]

I hear that when women play with their hair like Eliane Joyce it means that they are sexually frustrated. Lol

[@jaberjaber131]

Debora Gustin she’s being flirtatious

[@priscillamangnall6131]

She’s teasing her husband behind her.

[@kathycobb4451]

A lot of women touch their hair, twirl their hair, flip their hair, etc. You're a woman, and you need an explanation? It can be to flirt; it can be a nervous tic; it can be boredom in between answers. She may not realize she is doing it.

[@mlchc9004]

Gene loves it when Elaine plays with her hair & giggles .for whatever reason she does them, it gets his attention. LOL

[@mossalbarran1925]

Brett represents everything horrible about humans. Always has to be under the spotlight. She is so insecure. I don't know how she could be married.
