Hands down, this is my favorite pairing of celebrity opponents outside of charity events.

hands down? I doubit it! You can't tell me in all honesty that you prefer Peggy Cass to Betty White!

@@kristabrewer9363 well I prefer gene Rayburn over both Peggy cass and Betty white I still can't believe the former would say that when the word on screen was wood

I grew up watching Peggy Cass on early game shows like What's My Line?, To Tell the Truth and I've Got a Secret where she was a regular for many years. She also guested on The Match Game, and early talk shows like Jack Paar and Mike Douglas. She won a Tony award in 1957 for "Auntie Mame" and then recreated the role in the movie version (not the one with Lucille Ball). And, in a botched 1980 surgical procedure, Dr. Norman Scott, longtime physician for the New York Knicks (1978-2005), operated on Peggy's right knee instead of her injured left knee. After she noticed the mix-up in the recovery room, he had to wheel her back in and fix the other one. She sued him for malpractice and was awarded $460,000 in 1985.

Dig the swastika's in the background, Guess they din't know staggering pluses would make that design

[@floris.927]

But it's left-facing ... so technically it'll be a sauwastika.

Good grief put p powder on grease girl!!

[@butchieblock9118]

It's interesting that they be sure to powder the celebrity guests faces but not so much the others. Greasy legs on ladies (Graham Norton show) is okay, greasy faces, not so much!

[@RickWolfff]

Complete opposite? Whoever thought of this rule? It didn't last long, fortunately.

[@lawsonj39]

Peggy constantly taking off and putting on her glasses drives me nuts.

[@moonlightray8493]

I liked the rules of the original Password better... Why on earth would you disqualify opposites as a valid clue??

[@timglende8869]

It was for this version only.

A junk is a type of Chinese sailing ship with fully battened sails.
