I may have mentioned this, but my mother (God rest her soul) cleaned Leta Jackson's house around the time of her appearance on MG, she told my Mom she had a blast there. Happy Highway 99 to Betty White, her answer may have cost Leta more money to win but we love her nonetheless.
Anyone notice how the producers were trying to speed things along while Brett was doing her Spanish speaking bit (for the second time), by hitting the buzzer repeatedly?🤣🤭
H/H match update: ... ~~~Today's action: After five victories, our champion hits a brick wall when her challenger matches all six celebs in the second round. Despite giving the tried-and-true Match Game answer "Boobs" for her own second-round question, she fell one short. Today's villainess (from the champ's POV, but the challenger will see her as a heroine) is Betty White, who declined to show her "Boobs," instead flashing "Drumsticks." Our champ departs with an impressive total of $12,500! (And she earns kudos for being the rare champion who chose three different celebs for the head-to-head!) *Today's audience match question: "Live in________"* (My thoughts: Maid, Nanny, luxury) The celebs: Richard (sin), Betty (Maid), Don (the lap of luxury) The choice: Maid (Huh. I'm almost surprised she didn't go with Richard's decision.) The answers: Luxury, Sin, Maid Wow, good call! Another champ starts off with a tough (in my opinion) win on the audience match board. Who will she choose for the H/H? She picked Richard first, and he's actually matched his three most recent attempts. But, she didn't take his suggestion and it paid off. Plus, she might not even be standing there if it weren't for Betty's offbeat answer (Drumstick) a moment ago. No hesitation. It's Betty! This is her third consecutive week of appearances in which she's been called on to play the head-to-head (1200 and 1205 were the prior two times). But it shouldn't be much of a surprise to see Betty chosen - actually, it was more shocking when she went a long period without being chosen, given that her track record at matching in the H/H is better than any other of the main panelists, and quite a bit better than Richard or Brett's current scores. This is also the second consecutive time Richard has not been chosen (Don Sutton played last time), and that's a rarity. Stats: Betty's most recent attempts were in episodes 643, 644, 718, 733, 851, 854, 1200, and 1205. She matched five of those eight (62.5%). This is now Betty's 41st attempt overall, and so far he's matched 20 of 40 attempts in all (50.0%). For the sake of comparison: Betty has matched 20 of her 40 attempts (50.0%), Charles has matched 34 of his 70 attempts (48.6%), Brett has matched 31 of her 72 attempts (43.1%), and Richard has matched 359 of his 843 attempts (42.6%). Patty Duke Astin has had two attempts without a match, and Don Sutton has answered one H/H question without a match so far. *Today's H/H question: "Invisible________"* (Ink or Man? I'll say "Ink" - that was my immediate thought.) The new champ looks happy and confident right away. Betty has pen poised when the camera cuts to her. She pauses and then writes what appears to be several letters, far more than "Ink"! What on earth did she put on that card that she filed so quickly and confidently? Our champion goes with my alternate answer: "Man." Betty's eyes grow wide and she makes a growly face. Is she acting? The audience sure approves of her answer. But I swear Betty wrote more than three letters on that card! Well, I'll be! Betty mentions ink, but reveals "Man" in all caps. Maybe just the separate strokes for the capital letters made it look like more than three letters. Betty scores her 21st 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 matches in 4 attempts). TIE: (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 matches in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 matches in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 71.4% (5 matches in 7 attempts). Betty - 51.2% (21 matches in 41 attempts). Charles - 48.6% (34 matches in 70 attempts). Fannie - 48.5% (16 matches in 33 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 matches in 18 attempts). Brett - 43.1% (31 matches in 72 attempts). Richard - 42.6% (359 matches in 843 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 matches in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1213, 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.)
Gene also did a Fantasy Island episode as well as a game show host of all things.. ;0) I think he did several Love Boats by the way, one in 1980 and the last one in 1982.. I think MGP has the Gene Rayburn/Fannie Flagg edited episode on her site or someone on youtube does because I have seen it. Also the Fantasy Island episode..
The Brett Somers one is partially available on UA-cam. She and Jo Ann Pflug and some other gal are traveling together as some Divorce Party thing and all end up going on dates with David Doyle thinking he’s three different guys. It’s tedious and corny, but that’s the Love Boat for you lol
ROFL!! Hehe, Marc and Ira, I guess, were SO used to Brett not having the correct answer in the sudden death situations that they just assume she didn't have it and had the bell ringing for the other contestant and the music to play all ready to play..;0) I think this might have been the first time..
So great to see another celebrity chosen to win instead of one chosen one all the time! Thank you for winning Betty!
Leesa's bf
Hopefully she sticks with Betty (or ANYONE else)
So nice to see that Lita left with a big bundle of dough, Patty's a real doll as well

Always a fan of Don Sutton, he was a great man. RIP Mr. Sutton, still miss listening to you on the Braves game.

Funny!
🙄
Yes... Everybody see how annoying she really is...😃😃😂😂
So, in 1978 Gene said we have a 10,000 year supply of coal and a 2,000 year supply of oil. Somehow relevant today.
The gal from San Diego won thanks to Betty White.

Holy matches! I just watched 3 or 4 previous episodes on another UA-cam channel and am very happy to be back here with MG Productions!
he was on Love Boat and Fannie Flagg was his love interest
Gene also did a Fantasy Island episode as well as a game show host of all things.. ;0) I think he did several Love Boats by the way, one in 1980 and the last one in 1982.. I think MGP has the Gene Rayburn/Fannie Flagg edited episode on her site or someone on youtube does because I have seen it. Also the Fantasy Island episode..
Ya, I watched that Love Boat. They make out!! I was so surprised
Seems to me that every time Gene asks the current champ what they are going to do the their winnings, they lose right after ..........
Oh wow. I'll watch for that now.
"Loveboat wasn't hard"????? I wouldn't fking think so.
And here ya go! Gene Rayburn (with Fannie Flagg) on Love Boat. ua-cam.com/video/o5-ZUL4lK3g/v-deo.html
I can't find the one Brett says she was on. I did find a Love American Style that she was on with Jack. CNR was on one of those too.
Thank you!
The Brett Somers one is partially available on UA-cam. She and Jo Ann Pflug and some other gal are traveling together as some Divorce Party thing and all end up going on dates with David Doyle thinking he’s three different guys. It’s tedious and corny, but that’s the Love Boat for you lol
The umbrella would be jealous
Gomez's Wife, Sam's mother. 😅
3:44 why does brett have a read every question again and again? She is so desperate for camera time...
Someone jumped ahead @ 12:46.
ROFL!! Hehe, Marc and Ira, I guess, were SO used to Brett not having the correct answer in the sudden death situations that they just assume she didn't have it and had the bell ringing for the other contestant and the music to play all ready to play..;0) I think this might have been the first time..
President Carter, lol
Nice easy question
Sometimes so easy, sometimes so hard.
wasnt the head to head for 5,000? :)
Don Sutton just needs a red nose.
One of the very best and longest playing pitchers in the history of Major League Baseball!!!
Brett Somers hates to be left out
So does your pal, saint Richard Dawson
Why are you the only person whos complains about Richard ???? 😃😂
I am soooooo SICK of the Adam and Eve quips... and then to make it DIRTY!!
REALLY?
Adam and Eve DID get fruitful and multiplied...
