Match Game 75 (Possible Rule Change)

<< < (2/3) > >>

whewfan:
Actually, the rule change just lasted one week. The rule was that you couldn't pick the same celeb twice in a row for the Head to Head.

melman1:
In fact it happened on the episode that aired today (original air date of May 29 '75).  It's the second time I heard it mentioned... I don't know exactly when the other time was, I'll guess more than a week ago but less than a month ago.  (Not  many winning streaks in that period, for whatever reason.)

[quote name=\'Adam Nedeff\' date=\'Nov 4 2003, 08:39 PM\'] I recall it being whatever celebrity you picked last time had to sit out but could be picked again. So, if you won three games...

Game #1: Pick Richard Dawson
Game #2: Richard is out, so you pick Charles Nelson Reilly
Game #3: Charles is out, but you can pick Richard again [/quote]
 This would make a fair amount of sense--why would they have stopped so soon?

Maybe they figured it would be too hard to keep track of - especially if a contestant had to come back the next week.

From that stand point, the Star Wheel was a much better idea of not having a contestant go to the same celebrity all the time.

It actually lasted 2 wks, IIRC...CNR's first 2 wks back after his 7-month hiatus, to be exact.
