H/H match update for episode 1368: ... ~~~Today's action: We start right off with a H/H question today! Our champ had just scored $100 on her second audience match as time expired in the previous show. The wheel picks Charles today, but apparently didn't want to waste a double on a measly $1,000 question. Stats: Charles's most recent attempt was 1359 (no match). Charles has matched 19 of his 37 most recent attempts (51.4%), and 43 of 86 attempts overall (50.0%). This is now his 87th H/H question, making him the third-most experienced H/H player of all (after Richard's 878 and Brett's 95 attempts). *Today's (first) H/H question: "Thirteen_______"* (Not much is coming to mind. Thirteen colonies? I'll say that. I have the feeling there must be some 1949 movie or 1952 song that everyone will think of but me.) The champion's expression tells me she thinks it's a hard one. Charles is interacting with Brett, and then looking down to see if Betty has a suggestion. To me, it looks like he has an answer in mind, but he wants to see if there's something more obvious. Yes, he apparently wrote something off-camera. After exchanging another look with Brett, he slides his card into the slot. Last time our champ basically blanked ("sharp" dart) on the H/H with Betty. Let's see what she comes up with this time. Oh, my. "Fourteen," she says. The audience seems to be more amused than negative. Well, it isn't the worst answer I've heard for a H/H question, but we all know she's not going to be earning a thousand bucks for it... Wow! (Again, I swear that I type out all my guesses with the video paused and before reading any comments.) Charles had my answer: Colonies. (Or, rather, I had his answer, since he said it over 40 years before me.) No H/H match this time. ~~~~~ Oh dear, at ~ 13:00, Gene jokes about getting fired... Well, our champion's brief reign comes to an end after winning two games and $800. *Today's audience match question: "Get Out________"* (My thoughts: of here, of town, of the house) The celebs: Betty (of town), Charles (the booze), Brett (of here) The choice: Of Town The answers: And Stay Out, Of Town, Of Here - Kudos to Brett for suggesting the top answer in third position! Our new champion starts with $250... The wheel chooses Connie this time, and it's a double. Stats: This is Connie's very first H/H question. Based on her performance in the regular game, I think she will likely come up with a decent answer. *Today's (second) H/H question: "Pipe and_______"* (Huh? I don't get this one. Pipe and cigar? It doesn't make sense. Oh well. I did match the last one, so I'm not going to think too hard about this one. Cigar it is.) Connie is conferring with Jack. The new champ looks content with the answer she's apparently thought of. Probably something obvious I'm just not thinking of. Connie is writing. She looks like something just came to her. Her answer has several letters, at least 5. Oh, duh! "Slippers," she says. Yeah, that was obvious in retrospect. The audience is fully on board, a solid 10 response. Yup, Connie had "Slippers"! Connie Stevens becomes the 59th MG celebrity to score a head-to-head match! This was her first attempt. ~~~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). (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 matches in 4 attempts). Joyce Bulifant - 66.7% (4 matches in 6 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 55.6% (5 matches in 9 attempts). Charles - 49.2% (43 matches in 87 attempts). Fannie - 47.6% (20 matches in 42 attempts). Betty - 47.1% (24 matches in 51 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 matches in 18 attempts). Brett - 43.2% (41 matches in 95 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 1368, excluding the missing/damaged/unavailable episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, 910, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, 1028, 1029, and 1030. (Note: 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. There was no H/H in missing episode 1035, as we learn in 1036. These stats do, however, include results of episodes 1309 through 1317, found on channels other than this one.
My husband has been playing cards since he was three years old! Because he was raised by his aunt uncle grandma and grandpa, and that’s all they did was play cards.

Ay Bob Barker would have GIVEN the contestant double since the wheel broke!!!
Gene Rayburn was 6'1". The last contestant was taller, and this one is taller still.
He's said that but not sure I believe that! Many of the women contestants are as tall, if not taller than him!
Potsy? WTH? Jack Jones seems like a really nice guy!
David Doyle always has so much fun.
But has he ever matched anyone? 😂
Diane looks like Susan Day.
The light did not go on!!!
My husband has been playing cards since he was three years old! Because he was raised by his aunt uncle grandma and grandpa, and that’s all they did was play cards.
I didn't start that young but I was in elementary school when I learned to play poker, 😅, my parents used to play with us.
Love this show!!❤❤
Linda wins does not smile, but, she acts like if she has to smile, it’s going to break her face!
First attack: sexual mores. Who can resist?
Thank you!! Love Connie Stevens and Jack Jones!!!
Nestor Suan The former was once married to Eddie Fisher. The latter was once married to Jill St. John.
Thats 39 steps. Afred Hitchcock. Also there was a story by Agatha Christie called 13 at Dinner. How about a cave man (old car).
After a couple thoughts I did come up with colonies. 😊
I couldn't think of anything for Thirteen except 13 and up (age restrictions). Also, I would have matched Betty with Strip Hopscotch.
I thought 13... "Ghosts"
How about strip dodgeball? Always 💘 Connie Stevens since the very second my twelve year old 👀 saw her, also her daughter's gorgeous too
For me at that age it was Kurt Russell!! And, still today😊
How can Diane blow $11,000 very easily in two days?
How about, strip- the teacher.
