H/H match update for episode 1384: ... ~~~Today's action: This time it was Charles's matching answer that won the game for our champion. This is her fourth Super-Match. She hasn't yet scored a single H/H match, however. *Today's (first) audience match question: "________Plugs"* My thoughts: Ear, Spark, Power The celebs: Fannie (Ear), Susan (Spark), Charles (Nose) The choice: Spark (That sounds like the audience favorite.) The answers: Fire (oh, yeah, I forget that one), Ear, Spark This champ has done pretty well on the audience match (top answer 3 out of 4 times). It's the H/H where she just can't seem to click. So far she's tried twice with Robert and once with Richard. Maybe a woman this time would work out better. She seems to match with Susan a good deal in the regular game. Let's see what the wheel does... Well, the wheel is playing favorites again this week. This is the third time (out of five spins) that it's picked Richard. No double. Stats: Richard Deacon has matched 1 out of 3 attempts so far. He was chosen by a contestant for his first H/H question in episode 317 (Gene had a perm that week!), but didn't score a match. His second attempt in 1381 was his first match. His third question was in 1382, no match. Fingers crossed for attempt #4! *Today's (first) H/H question: "Which Way is_______"* I must be missing a cultural reference. Is there a movie or a song that fits this question? Which way is up? North? The Wind Blowing? Fastest? Shortest? Yikes. I'm stumped. I'll say "Up.") Richard is looking to Fannie and Susan for suggestions. (I don't blame him.) He must have found something he liked, because he writes his answer (off camera) quickly and files the card. The champ is ready and confident. She (amazingly) gives the same answer I did. And the audience wholeheartedly approves. Their reaction is a solid 10. I have no idea why I thought of "up" or where the expression comes from, so who knows if Richard might have thought of it too, but since he wrote and filed his card so fast, it suggests his answer was short... (I really do hope this champion wins this, because it's her fourth try, and few champions make it to five.) Oh, thank goodness! Another unanimous response this time: "Up" Richard Deacon scores his second H/H match today. (Richard is only the 27th celeb to have scored a second H/H match in "Match Game '7x" so far.) ~~~~~ And now it's five wins! This champ is chugging along! *Today's (second) audience match question: "________Your Fingers"* My thoughts: Snap, Cross, Watch The celebs: Susan (Lick), Fannie (Snap), Charles (Count on) The choice: Snap The answers: Lick, Snap, Cross For this champ's fifth H/H, the wheel chooses... Brett, and it's a double! Stats: Brett's on a slump lately (she missed the last two times), but she's matched 11 of her last 26 attempts (42.3%), and 22 out of her 46 most recent attempts (47.8%). Her overall success rate is 42.3% and this is her 98th attempt. *Today's (second) H/H question: "_______Japan"* (I'll say "Made in Japan" since practically everything was back in the '70s and '80s. "Tokyo" would be my second choice.) Brett is looking around even as she's writing her answer. She files her card with a look of determination. The champ is ready and confident once again. This time she gives my alternate answer "Tokyo." Hmm. I tend to match Brett, but I hope that doens't hold true today for our champion's sake. The audience reaction is mixed, around a 5 or 6. Brett's expression tell me no match today... Yeah, Brett gave the same answer I did, and the audience cheered loudly. That was the definitive answer apparently. No H/H match this time. ~~~~~Here are the (16) celebs currently with exactly 2 matches (in alphabetical order): Each celebrity's total number of weeks on "Match Game '7x" along with his/her first and last appearance is indicated, and an asterisk before their name indicates they've "retired" from MG, and their H/H stats are now complete. *Note: Both Robert Pine and Richard Deacon will end their MG careers next episode.* (*)Patty Duke Astin - 2 out of 5 (40.0%) - (14 weeks total.

Can I believe BRETT said, made in Japan instead of Tokyo, Japan. Remember, they had that like that lights up that says do not write. It also gives what they want them to say, sometimes, so they don’t give out so much money.
lol🤣the goodbyes at the end reminded of the Waltons saying good night at the end of their t.v.show!😅
I wonder what happened when Gene went to the Department of Engine Vehicles to renew his drivers license or car registration.
Susan Richardson and Fannie Flagg are just gorgeous ! Love this Match Game 79!

I wasn't sure if the movie which way is up had been released when these shows were current
Immediately thought of Brett when "ear plugs" came up...
I never noticed Richard Deacon in anything after reruns of "The Dick Van Dyke Show."
He was also Fred Rutherford on Leave It To Beaver
@@frankswisher6342- It looks like he was a bit actor prior to "Leave It To Beaver," and then again after his time on "The Dick Van Dyke Show."
"Cross" Your Fingers 🤞
Carol looks amazing in that outfit with the gauchos!! IYKYK
With the Space Race still going strong in 1979, I'm not surprised people still knew the "Which way is up?" joke.
The gentleman ended up with 4 matches that Gene didn’t agree with, I loved it.
CNR is so handsome in Orange 🥰
Charles is always handsome, always.
GENE GENE THE #METOO MACHINE....UNHAND THAT FANNIE 🤨🤦🏻♀️🙅🏻♀️😛
Amen !!
Janice - getting alotta money out of that tan outfit.
Can I believe BRETT said, made in Japan instead of Tokyo, Japan. Remember, they had that like that lights up that says do not write. It also gives what they want them to say, sometimes, so they don’t give out so much money.
If Brett hadn't of said anything Gene probably wouldn't of noticed his tie on Fanny.
Made in Japan? Was that a thing in the 1970s? I thought everything was made in China
