That’s my dad! The contestant Frank ❤️☺️ it’s so nice to hear his voice again! 😭😚

[@SteveHolsten]

God Bless you & God rest his soul.

[@lvelez1999]

Aww God bless you and your family, love. Rip to your Dad

[@lvelez1999]

Hes so precious and so are you xo

[@ronaldwalton4793]

Wow that's awesome. God bless you and your dad Frank!

[@carolynwyller5321]

He seems like such a nice guy! Wish he would've won!

[@Paul71H]

Thumbs up for Fannie's "Dangerous Curves" answer. :-)

[@imnmbrone1492]

Is there anything cuter than CNR stumbling over his answer and exclaiming "Shoot!" 🥰

[@irishmermaid4]

This show is an old friend. Other people suck.

[@kitarofan87]

Contestant doesn’t choose Richard for the head-to-head for once.

YAAAAAY

Merge, Tunnel Ahead, or Slippery When Wet came to my mind...Fanny's was a good one.

[@jaberjaber131]

Merge was my first thought , but tunnel ahead and slippery when wet are home runs

[@cross3052]

The highway patrol chick's headboard should have said 'merge'.

[@DSpeir-pi6tm]

You will never find a yield, or no parking sign on the expressway anywhere :/

[@timothycarpenter9552]

That was a good James Arness impression by Rayburn.

[@pencils812]

Dick Gaultier did an even better impression of Chester!

[@edwardlapierre1620]

Good call

[@sdlively27]

Della Reese was perfect today, 2 attempts to 2 matches! ;0)

[@lvelez1999]

Isnt that lady contestant an Actress now? She looks so familiar

[@wynottgivemore9274]

She does look familiar, her name Joan Sweeney does come up for an actress that looks alot like her., I'm sure it is her... But with my limited knowledge of searching in the web ,I can't find much on her.

[@pencils812]

@@wynottgivemore9274 I think it's spelled Sweeny, not Sweeney. She does have an IMDB page.

[@kristabrewer6736]

@@wynottgivemore9274 Jodie Sweeney's mom, maybe? (or maybe Alison Sweeney's mom)

[@sharondaniels5912]

I'm surprised they make jokes about Brett's looks, since they are true. She is not attractive, and even less attractive with her actions. Trying to make comments and take over the show incessantly. Trying to humiliate some of the better looking female panelists with her jealous comments and so on and so on.

19:27 Super Rare Head to Head Match with the winning contestant chooses anyone other than Richard Dawson

[@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687]

Should have happened more often.

[@ts.elliot5870]

​@@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687If they wanted to win go to Richard. Richard gave away far more than anyone else.

[@daviddriver2692]

Brett & Charles appeared to have been a TRULY great couple,should have been wed😉

[@pencils812]

That would be something.

[@kristabrewer6736]

@@pencils812 lol

[@ts.elliot5870]

I wonder how often they went out for cocktails?

[@wynottgivemore9274]

Bacon sandwich??? It would not have mattered anyway if she would have said the correct answer, is bits cause there was no and in the bacan blank. So whatever!.😔

[@CousinOresama]

Answers do not have to be just one word. Dick had the correct answer with AND EGGS.

[@tvpmark]

Joan was doing so well, but she couldn't win ten times the amount she won on the Super Match. At least she won some money and she got to kiss Dick Gautier. Brett and Charles enjoy teasing each other, and Fannie's "dangerous curves" answer was a knee-slapper.

[@MensAsses33]

All I could think of was bacon sandwich 🥪 😋

[@sharondaniels5912]

Gene says Brett is beautiful at times, but never kisses her like he does the others, Betty, Fannie, Patty etc. etc.😮

[@edwardlapierre1620]

Love this single woman

[@edwardlapierre1620]

Try me anytime

[@chaynebutler9572]

A Match-Game version of "Beauty and the Beast"? I would have had Beauty played by either Elaine Joyce or Debbralee Scott!

[@wynottgivemore9274]

It was a believe it or not...meaning someone you'd never think of...😉 Hence Brett being the right answer. But the trick on this show was not to be smarter than the celebrity's 🙂

[@LynxSouth]

@@wynottgivemore9274 I still think the best answer would have been Gene Rayburn. He'd have pirouetted and batted his eyelashes, hammed it right up.

[@wynottgivemore9274]

@@LynxSouth i just read what i wrote...and i want to make it clear Brett would have been the beast, not sure if that was clear...lol! Yes sure gene as beauty fur sure 🤗

[@LynxSouth]

@@wynottgivemore9274 Hmm. Gene as Beauty and Brett as Beast. Sounds like something they rehearsed in that motel in Encino. 😄

​@@LynxSouthlove the visual in my head. They both would've hammer it up!

[@millionsofrecordsernieb7587]

Bacon sandwich...lol

[@pencils812]

And she went on to be a C list actress.

[@corrinewadino8771]

They have RICHARD purposely acting like he wants one of these girls! They always do that to him and he plays along with it. People take him serious.

[@CousinOresama]

What the hell is a bacon sandwich? I've heard of a BLT, bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, but never just of a bacon sandwich.

[@donaldleroy6502]

I woulda answered merge for the lady cop question. Joan is 🔥 love that shock of light blonde hair

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

Do Not Enter would be an even better sign.

UNDRESS

[@jeffclement2979]

I always hate when the camera goes to Richard as the lady contestant reveals she's single What a horndog

[@Observer-jw8wv]

Um, why is that his fault? Isn't your complaint with the (now dead) cameraman instead of the (now dead) panelist?

[@martybass7376]

Frank died in 2007

[@kristabrewer6736]

I see Charles is doing his STUPID 5 and 6 card answer again (he did that a few episodes back too :(

Lol! I thought it a bit funny that there was laughing,butofcourse they weren't gonna say it,it would have been cancelled show... The today's version that you and I don't like is that it reflects our society today,and that it would have been said on today's version,with no backlash...or at least not much.
