Oh my God, I can't believe the man of FACTS didn't know the man of STEEL is Superman, he should be ashamed of himself. I must have grown up in a parallel universe because I've always heard of 💘 pat as 💘 tap
H/H match update: ... ~~~Today's action: Our champion won her second game in the final moment of the prior show, so we kick off with her second Super-Match. *Today's (first) audience match question: "________of Steel"* (My thoughts: Man, Nerves, Bars) The celebs: Nipsey (Nerves), David (Made), Charles (Man) The choice: Made The answers: Nerves, Made, Man - Kudos to Charles for naming the top answer in third position! Another $250. On to the wheel... It's... Charles. Again!!! (Twice in a row!) Plus, it's a double! Stats: This the sixth time the Wheel has landed on Charles. He last played "yesterday" (1306), and he's matched 3 of 5 wheel times so far. Looking back, Charles has matched 13 of his 26 most recent attempts (50.0%). His overall score is currently 49.3%, and this will be his 76th attempt overall, making him celeb who's answered the third highest number of H/H questions, after Richard and Brett. More Stats: We're stuck in what feels like a H/H "curse" - starting with episode 1292, all the way to now, there have been only *2 H/H matches.* Looking a little further back, only 11 of the past 29 H/H questions have resulted in a match (37.9%). For the entire Star Wheel era, there have been 28 matches in 67 attempts (41.8%). Panel comparison: Betty has matched 23 of her 46 attempts (50.0%), Charles has matched 37 of his 75 attempts (49.3%), Brett has matched 35 of her 82 attempts (42.7%), Debralee Scott has matched 2 of her 2 attempts so far, and Nipsey Russell has answered 8 H/H questions without yet scoring his first match. David Doyle has yet to be chosen for a H/H question. *Today's H/H question: "Coming Up_______"* (I have to say "Roses," in honor of one of my favorite fourth-seat celebs, Ethel Merman who appeared 5 weeks total: First week: 496-500; Final week: 1186-1190 - I'd LOVE to hear Brett belt out a line in Ethel Merman style! Her impression of the Broadway star always cracks me up! - Other possible answers? Coming up empty. Coming up for air. But I'll stick with roses.) Our new champion looks serene, compared to yesterday. When the camera first cuts to Charles, he's already writing. Night and day from the reaction to yesterday's ugly question. Charles files his answer. I didn't see any input from his colleagues, or any interaction whatsoever. A bit unusual for Charles who tends to at least check in with Brett. The champion's ready. With cool confidence she offers the predicted answer, and the audience reaction is a solid 10 on the positivity scale. The look on Charles's face hints to me that we may finally have a match today. Yes, it's unanimous today. This feels like old times in the H/H department! "Roses" all around! Charles scores his 38th H/H match today. (And Charles and Betty are tied again!) ~~~~~ Our champion is defeated, but at least she scored a H/H match. With her two wins she garnered $5,950. *Today's (second) audience match question: "________Pat"* (My thoughts: Fat, Stand, Down) The celebs: Nipsey (Standing), David (Love), Betty (Pitty) The choice: Love The answers: Pitter, Love, Stand Our new champion starts with $250 from the audience, but he'll have to hang on a bit for his head-to-head... ~~~Finally, 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 or he has "retired" from the show and their 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). Joyce Bulifant - 80.0% (4 matches in 5 attempts). (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 matches in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 62.5% (5 matches in 8 attempts). TIE - Charles - 50.0% (38 matches in 76 attempts). TIE - Betty - 50.0% (23 matches in 46 attempts). Fannie - 47.4% (18 matches in 38 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 matches in 18 attempts). Brett - 42.7% (35 matches in 82 attempts). (*)Richard - 42.5% (373 matches in 878 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 matches in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1307, 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.)
Love when David Doyle and Nipsey Russell are on!!!
I can't believe Gene didn't know that Superman is the man of steel.
The Boob Tube; that's what my former Pastor's wife always called the TV
You were a wonderful winner Charles! Sensational Match Game !!
How did Gene not know that Superman is the Man of Steel?
He hardly ever knew current pop culture of the time.
Also, now a movie. 😊
God bless Debralee's young eyes. We old folks need young'uns for realz!
@2:45 CNR "Man of Steel" LOL
He was so funny!
You are a wonderful winner Charles! Sensational Match Game!
a few years before Tamilee Webb created "Buns (Abs...etc...) of Steel"!
Charles in that football jersey with the #16 on it reminds me of George Blanda, the kicker for the Oakland Raiders.
ROFL! Another fine episode! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Betty! ;0)

Gene hardly ever knew current pop culture of the time. I know he read the paper. He must've skipped the entertainment section.
Once again, He's MY God too :)
Gene, her eyes are up higher! Sheesh!
wayyyyy higher considering her boobs are just above her waste, the left one maybe lower
Gene's ALWAYS been disgusting that way

Tina's husband looks exatcly like Dennis Weaver.
Gunsmoke!
DOLLY PARTON in 3 DD 🤪🤪🤪
The lady with her hair White Visor?
She dropped clue cards in front of the new challenger?
Those knockers are so distracting.
