H/H match update: ... ~~~Today's action: Our champion just wasn't in the matching groove today. She departs after having won two games and $3,200. *Today's audience match question: "Come Up________"* (My thoughts: And See Me Sometime, Stairs, With the Right Answer) The celebs: Richard (And See Me Sometime), Charles (Roses), Fannie (Empty) - Well, now I don't feel so bad for not coming up with brilliant second and third answers. The celebs gave a couple weak ones too! The choice: And See Me Sometime The answers: To My Place, For Air, And See Me Sometime It was a hard question to come up with three answers for, but at the same time it was pretty easy to guess the top answer, so that's good for our contestant. And speaking of our contestant, he makes his H/H choice: this is now King Richard's 45th consecutive H/H attempt. (No other celeb has played a head-to-head question since Fannie in 1132.) Stats: Richard has matched 144 of his 333 most recent attempts (43.2%), 83 of his last 193 attempts (43.0%), 36 of his past 85 attempts (42.4%), 22 of his past 58 attempts (37.9%), and 5 of his past 16 attempts (31.3%). His overall success rate is *42.2%* and this is his 811th attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Elaine Joyce has matched her one and only attempt, Charles has matched 34 of his 70 attempts (48.6%), Fannie has matched 16 of her 33 attempts (48.5%), Brett has matched 30 of her 71 attempts (42.3%), and Richard has matched 342 of his 810 attempts (42.2%). Dick Martin hasn't yet been chosen for a head-to-head question. *Today's H/H question: "________Airlines"* (How about Nerdocrumbesia Airlines? Ha! I'm trying to remember the big-name airlines 40+ years ago. United or American? I guess it must be one of those because PanAm and TWA don't really fit the question. I'll say "American.") Once again, Richard begins writing almost immediately. That's usually a good sign because it means there's only one really obvious answer. Sometimes when there are two or three equally good ones, he debates a bit, confers with his lower-tier colleagues, or even changes his mind. He does look over toward Fannie for a few seconds before filing his card, but whatever he saw there didn't change his mind. "So many," says our champion, who settles for "United" Airlines. In my mind, United is bigger and more dominant in the industry today than it was in the 1970s, but I could be wrong. The audience gives an overwhelmingly positive response. Edit: After the question, Gene does say that United was the biggest airline at the time (he may or may not be right, of course). Oh, no! Richard matches my answer instead of the contestant's: "American." No H/H match today. ~~~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). Brett - 42.3% (30 wins in 71 attempts). 42.2535 Richard - 42.2% (342 wins in 811 attempts). 42.1701 Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1173, 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.)

Yeah, I do like Gene's orange 🧡 shirt that he wears quite often, but his tie here has got to go! He usually wears a different tie that matches much better... 🤔

Maybe there's some orange 🧡 in his tie up at the top, but you can't really see it... 🙄

Lol. After watching these in order, I've noticed in the last 5 games straight, they've had questions about Howard Cosell. They really didn't like him. I saw one of these a while back where Gary B was trying to give a nice answer about Howard, and Gene criticized him. Gary then looked at the camera and said "I tried Howard." I wonder if the fact that this show openly disrespected some people kept it from winning awards.

Well, you matched me, because that was my first thought too. I'm surprised no one on the show said bottom of the barrel because it really sounded obvious.
