[@kevansf]

Joyce Bulifant becomes the 29th MG celebrity to score a head-to-head match. This was her first attempt.

I am so impressed that Judy picked Joyce for the SuperMatch head to head. It just goes to show you there are contestants who go on their gut feeling when choosing, not simply following the crowds. I always enjoy Joyce’s personality and am pleased as punch that she earned the money

It's Marcia, Marcia, Marcia vs. Judy, Judy, Judy ✌

I love the beard! 😍 Richard Dawson 💞

[@gman9035]

OMG she picked Joyce, and it worked

[@travis7310]

G Man It happens every now and then! Very rare, though!

[@beverlysomerville6838]

Wow shes 82, was married 5 times!

[@poetcomic1]

And Joyce looks so genuinely thrilled!

[@jjryan1352]

They look like they could be cousins.

[@kevansf]

I always appreciate when contestants choose other than Richard for the head-to-head match. Hard to believe Joyce has never been selected before since she's appeared so many weeks! Glad it worked out for the contestant!

[@mickeymouse2able]

Greg Morris had a great voice. He could have played a character in DC comics animated series

[@crystalheart9]

He sure did.

Gene: Fanny Hill! Richard: She's worth every penny of it! He used this line several times but this time it was so spot on! I'm not sure th audience caught it. It deserved a bigger laugh.

[@thomaswashburn3513]

I had never heard of Fanny Hill until now. Amazed it was written in the mid sixteenth century!

[@paperbackonly8438]

@@thomaswashburn3513 I went BACK to the Wikipedia page for Fanny Hill earlier … there used to be a … picture of very direct reference of “a fanny hill” … but no longer 😅

[@thomaswashburn3513]

@@paperbackonly8438 That’s where I got my info… Wikipedia… kinda interesting. I wonder how much an original book is worth. I could imagine in the thousands (maybe tens or hundreds) since so many copies were probably burned due to being banned.

The Farrah hair is starting to replace the hippie hair.

[@kidmack3556]

That's funny that you say that. I was looking at "Jaws" several times last month and trying to figure out what hairstyle was popular at the time because I really couldn't remember what hairstyle most girls were wearing before Farrah. I actually think that I remember seeing the Dorothy Hamil and Toni Tenille haircuts more than the Fawcett feathered look in '75 But by the end of the summer in '76, YES! you are right. All three of those "Charlie's Angels" hair styles ruled in my junior high and high schools.

[@pencils812]

Is it that stressful?

As a good ol' Arkansas boy, I remember well the Fanne Fox/Wilbur Mills affair, back in the day.

Marsha was quite the lovely lady.

[@catman7153]

Just out of curiosity, I Googled how much 5000 dollars would be worth today. It comes out to be a little over 22,000 in today's money.

[@genehamilton6045]

Jungle Drums , the match game played today they can win 25k .

[@catman7153]

I guess they have kept up with the times, then. I wouldn't know, I haven't watched TV in 30 years. That's why I like KZbin so much, I can watch shows from when TV was worth watching, in my humble opinion, of course.

[@contraryMV]

I wondered about this. Thanks for doing a sloths homework. I remind myself that back then $5000 could get you a new car. Now it's the down payment.

[@storylass9071]

I just take the sum and multiply by 5 to get a good approximation, the math is easier.

Who is this "Sam" dork? Earl wouldn't have been that late!

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

I think Sam _Gary_ , who was one of many associate directors at that time at _Television City_ in Hollywood.

RD, I didn't see it.. ;0)

[@krkf8]

Judy was lovely

[@storylass9071]

they should have disqualified the scuba dive question because Brett was singing a song about dance and formal dance was matched.

[@jjryan1352]

They gave away clues several times by talking during the writing of answers. Gene as well.

[@crissrudd4554]

I’m curious as to why she didn’t pick Fannie first.

[@Drchainsaw77]

That's happened a few times, where the name of a panelist is suggested by the blank. I always thought they should make a big show of avoiding that one, and by extension give the contestant four ideas.

[@MrMatteNWk]

@@Drchainsaw77 The panelist (Fannie ____, Betty _____), show staff (Gene _______), famous phrase of panelist (Come on _______) is usually said anyway so the contestant doesn't get four separate ideas.
