Johnny Olsen spoke so fast!

My family has one of those electrolux canister vacuums. It still works.

[@samyleigh3246]

Sha'ron was adorable. She had a cheerful personality, a pretty smile and a wonderful voice.❤️💕💜

[@myrock-mysalvation8873]

Cute but Dumb as a Box of Rocks

[@garfield2439]

I wish she knew the game

[@garfield2439]

I think Nipsey was embarrassed by her

[@beckydutra6543]

Exactly how I thought. 😊

[@grapplergirl10]

Charles cracks me up! 😂❤️

[@pencils812]

I like how he doesn't react to Gene's entrance. In this one, he actually turns his back as Gene walks in.

[@timothyball7502]

Not a big deal but my answer is, French Fry.

H/H match update: ... ~~~Today's action: Our newly minted champion had just pocketed $500 on the audience match with Richard's suggestion when time ran out "yesterday." So we start right off today with the head-to-head match. Two guesses who'll she'll pick! Our new champion does indeed choose Richard for her first H/H. This is now King Richard's 34th consecutive H/H attempt. Stats: Richard has matched 140 of his 321 most recent attempts (43.6%), 79 of his last 181 attempts (43.6%), 32 of his past 73 attempts (43.8%), and 18 of his past 46 attempts (39.1%). His overall success rate is *42.4%* and this is his 799th attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Charles has matched 34 of his 70 attempts (48.6%), Richard has matched 338 of his 798 attempts (42.4%), and Brett has matched 30 of her 71 attempts (42.3%). Marcia missed her one shot, and Nipsey has played 8 times without yet scoring his first H/H match. Susan Sullivan hasn't yet answered a H/H question. *Today's H/H question: "________Stretch"* (Home stretch comes to mind immediately and sounds pretty good. For lack of anything better, I'll say that.) Richard pauses only briefly to contemplate before writing his answer that to me sure looks like it could be the same as mine. We might have another easy-money match today! Our new champ seems to have a brain freeze. Her body language indicates she's not thrilled with her answer, but she says "Yawn and stretch." If Richard matches this one, he truly is psychic... Richard had my answer. "Home." No H/H match this time. ~~~~~ To continue her reign, our champion only needs to match one of the six celebrities, and the definitive answer sounds obvious to me. (Chalkboard.) Oh my, she says "toidy." So now we have a 0-0 tie... Oh how sad. The challenger scored zero matches in three questions. I don't think I've ever seen that happen before. At any rate, Brett's French "Kiss" was the first match in six questions, and it put that game out of its misery. *Today's audience match question: "Milk of________"* (My thoughts: Magnesia, Human Kindness, ???) The celebs: Richard (Magnesia), Brett (Human Kindness), Charles, possibly via Nipsey or Brett (the cow) The choice: Magnesia (obviously) The answers: Cows (!), Human Kindness, Magnesia Well that was a hard one to come up with a third answer for (Kudos to Charles and/or the top tier!), but an easy one to win $500 with. But once again, time has run out, and our champions encore attempt at the head-to-head will be "tomorrow." Stay tuned! ~~~Anyway, here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (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). Betty - 50.0% (19 wins in 38 attempts). Charles - 48.6% (34 wins in 70 attempts). Fannie - 48.5% (16 wins in 33 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 42.3% (338 wins in 799 attempts). (42.30%) Brett - 42.3% (30 wins in 71 attempts). (42.25%) Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1164, excluding the missing/damaged/unavailable episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, 910, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, 1028, 1029, and 1030. *Also, note that episode 849 was never produced. (These stats do, however, include the H/H results of missing episode 968 as those results were revealed in episode 969. Note: There was no H/H in missing episode 1035, as we learn in 1036.)

Nipsey is cool.

[@imnmbrone1492]

Susan Sullivan was my first crush, 5yo and I thought she was stunning 🥰

[@garfield2439]

God bless sharon, she is beautiful she should have been modeling 🤗. She says they r smart people like she isn't the one giving shitty answers 🤣🤣🤣

[@garfield2439]

I still have that vac and iron lol

[@pencils812]

Wait, you were on MG?

[@danareynolds1786]

Brett had "LETTER" on the other side of "KISS".

[@StFidjnr]

8:37 the one thing that match game is famous or infamous for is the ticket plug

[@DENo1MatchGameFan]

Director Marc Breslow was a GENIUS when he made all of these great ticket plugs for sure!

[@scottyclayton5604]

I think Brett did match with “Whole Cow”

[@halffasthaiku7526]

Scotty Clayton As well as Richard. He said “cow” which means whole cow.

[@garfield2439]

Maybe she will be back

[@sallykohorst8803]

Great funny show!❤❤😂🎉

[@sdlively27]

ROFL! Love ya Marcia! ;0) Repeat question? I had that Wheel O toy as a kid!!!! ;0) ROFL!! Love ya Charles! ;0)

[@daverogers5609]

7th inning stretch.

[@drewcomix]

16:15 Consolation prizes -- that last one is obscure and bizarre. (The first one merely sucks.) This is followed by the run-up to the old Down With Cow's Milk gag.

[@SteveNoskowicz]

Seventh inning stretch.

[@samyleigh3246]

The whole animal doesn't match whole cow!?!?!?! 🙄

[@pencils812]

Not in this one. Maybe on another day the way the judging went.

[@kristabrewer6736]

I don't IMAGINE!

[@randydellinger2996]

Wonder how Marcia really feels about Gene rubbing on her? Today (March 2021) Gene would be perfect for governor of New York.

[@lindathompson922]

If he did that to me, he would get a broke hand. He's married, act like it.

[@priscillamangnall6131]

I think she liked it.

[@garfield2439]

@@lindathompson922 to each his own but I don't find it a big deal . That would be between him and his wife. Whenever any guy said or did anything flirtatious with me I just reminded them they were married and if they couldn't act like that in front of their wife then stop

[@nestorsuan2182]

What? Dawson was chosen again by another female contestants? And she lost? This is getting old... very old...very , very old....

[@accam6734]

Nestor Suan You Dawson haters are absurd. He gave an excellent answer and hers was stupid.

[@halffasthaiku7526]

Nestor Suan Of course she lost with that dumb answer she gave. Who could have matched that?

[@randydellinger2996]

Don’t watch Match Game !!!

[@garfield2439]

You are such a Dawson hater. Is your real name Leesa?

[@garfield2439]

@@randydellinger2996 he likes to come complain about Richard just like that Leesa person. She always attacks anyone that talks about her love Brett. It is so ridiculous
