H/H match update for episode 1423: ... ~~~Today's action: And Charles's "Underwear" wins the game for our champ. It's her fourth trip to center stage for a Super-Match round. *Today's (first) audience match question: "________Explosion"* My thoughts: (Population, Nuclear, Big) The celebs: Betty (Population), Brett (Big), Charles (Gas) The choice: Population The answers: Big, Atomic, Population So far our champ has worked with Scoey, Dick, and Betty, matching only the latter. Today it's Betty redux and a double to boot. Stats: Betty's most recent attempt (and match) was yesterday. She's matched 10 of her past 20 (50.0%) and she's matched 25 of her 52 H/H questions overall (48.1%). This is now Betty's 53rd attempt, meaning she's fielded more H/H questions than anyone other than our three regulars. (Next in line is Fannie at 45 questions.) *Today's (first) H/H question: "Theatre_______"* (My first thought is Theater of the Absurd, but I won't say that. Ticket? Seat? Usher? Marquee? Screen? Theater "ticket" sounds the most general. I'll try that.) Betty looks particularly pensive. The champ looks calm. Gene spells the question, and it's the "re" theatre, so I went back and changed the spelling above. Does that affect my answer? In my mind, here in the US, "theatre" implies stage while "theater" implies screen, but not always. A lot of movie theaters back in the day went for the affected -re ending. After a longer hesitation than average for her, Betty puts pen to card and writes her answer, quickly shoving it in the slot before she can have second thoughts. I didn't see her get any suggestions or input from any of her colleagues. "Ah, that was hard," our champ says. Agreed. She still doesn't seem entirely decided. She finally says "theatre tickets" (wow). The audience reaction is about an 8 on the positivity scale. Something about Betty's eyes tell me that we may have another match... I'm wrong. Betty had actually written my second serious answer: "Seat." No H/H match today. ~~~~~ The nervous challenger proves victorious. (I'm not convinced a "banker" is really the same thing as a "bank" but let's just ignore that.) Our champion departs after winning four games and $4,400, having scored one H/H match with Betty for $2,500. *Today's (second) audience match question: "Tee________"* My thoughts: (Time, Off, Shirt) The celebs: Charles (Hee), Brett (for Two), Lorna (Off) The choice: Off (That was the audience favorite. I'm pretty sure it'll be up there somewhere.) The answers: Pee, Shirt, Off - Kudos to Lorna for suggesting the top answer in third position! Not a bad start for our newest champion. This time the wheel stops on Brett, no double. Stats: Brett last played in 1419, and been on an uncharacteristic losing streak, failing to match her last 9 times in a row! (That beats Richard and Nipsey's record of 8 in a row!) Brett has matched 11 of her last 33 attempts (33.3%), and 22 out of her 53 most recent attempts (41.5%). Her overall success rate is 39.4% and this is her 105th attempt. She's only the second celeb (after Richard of course) to answer at least 100 H/H questions, and is probably the last one too. Charles currently has 90, but with only 21 shows left, it's possible, but not likely that he'll reach that 100-question mark... *Today's (second) H/H question: "Blue-chip_______"* (My first thought is Stock. I can't think of anything else (maybe "company"), so there you go.) The audience vocalizes something, but I don't think it was a suggestion. Brett is already writing (a quick start for her). She finishes and pauses a bit to look down at Betty and over at Charles. She seems to say she doesn't like the question (or maybe it's her answer she's not thrilled with) before filing her card. Ding. Our champ is ready to go and eagerly answers "Blue chip stamps." (Huh? I remember Green Stamps and Gold Bond Stamps, but I don't think we had Blue Chip Stamps in the Pac NW. Apparently they had them in California, because the audience sure likes the answer. Gene (from the East Coast) is also ignorant of Blue Chip Stamps. (I checked Wikipedia: "The Blue Chip Stamp Company still exists (as of February, 2024) and is located in Pasadena, California. They can be redeemed at the value of $1.80 per full book.") Okay then. Wow. Brett's curse is over. It's "Stamps" for the match. Brett scores her 42nd H/H match today. ~~~Here's our updated leader board showing the 13 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, the one with the greater number of matches is considered to be higher; if the matches are equal, the celeb who first achieved that score goes on top.)

Fannie - 46.7% (21 matches in 45 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 matches in 18 attempts). (*)Richard - 42.5% (373 matches in 878 attempts). Brett - 40.0% (42 matches in 105 attempts).

I enjoyed Foster Brooks. We had S&H green stamps in the Midwest. My mom got a toaster with a bunch of books of stamps. It's still going 50 years later.
Christy is absolutely gorgeous, she reminds me of a lady I worked with years ago, a class act in EVERY way. Sorry to see her go, even if she'd answered melt the bloody panel was divided
I like how Foster stood when Brett went back to sit down! Very classy!
Some of them really didn't understand the house insurance question lol. The stereotype of an Eskimo is that they live in an igloo, so their house is already frozen. The definitive answer is "melts".
You can really see the psychology skills rise to the surface as Christy lends an empathetic glance to the new contestant.
The winner was dressed like a frumpy Grandma! And I'm a Grandma 😂😆
Wonderful Match Game 79! Great win Brett !!
Lorna Patterson was always a cutie!!
She was flat out hot! I loved her in airplane and she's why I'm watching this. Can't believe she never did more movies or TV.😒
@@Punnybone55 One movie makes you millions in residuals and profits. Probably why.
Chris reminds me of Elisabeth Shue in The Karate Kid.

Did anyone else notice Gene spelled "theater" the British way (theatre) as he spelled it out?
Just part of Gene’s pedant personality.
He thought he was so intellectual, but his knowledge was superficial.
Tee-"Shirt" 👕
There hasn't been a 'blue-chip' anything since 1979.
Maybe the poker games in M*A*S*H still used blue chips. lol
Blue chip stocks.
@@kd5you1Vegas still has blue chips they are usually worth a buck. There are also blue chip stocks.
The celebrities are giving another dumb answer for the dumb seat
What about teepee, oh it's up there, teehee
Blue Chip Stamps...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Chip_Stamps
Can Foster ever talk normal?
I was wondering that too!
Sure but that's not his act.
