As of 2019 Ron was still with us. i saw a comment by his son the other day which said he was 71. I wonder if he is still alive at 73 , and is he a good looking 73 year old. He definitely a hottie back in '75.

@@mehboobkm2018 Na, I'm sure the attention I was receiving, all be it for the shows entertainment, didn't bother him. He was very considerate and gave a sincere attempt to match me each opportunity.

H/H match update: Joining regulars Charles, Richard, and Brett, we have beloved semi-regular Betty White who has another opportunity to break that stubborn tie with Fannie Flagg - both have an incredible 50% success rate in the H/H match. Jack Cassidy also returns (he's been chosen twice for the H/H match, but without success). The wild card this week is newcomer Conny Van Dyke. We start the week with the returning champion choosing Betty, but sadly they fail to match. This once again breaks the Fannie/Betty tie, this time in Fannie's favor. Here's the updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: Orson Bean - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 83.3% (5 wins in 6 attempts). TIE: Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Fannie - 50% (9 wins in 18 attempts). Betty - 48.4% (15 wins in 31 attempts). Charles - 45.9% (17 wins in 37 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 37.2% (99 wins in 266 attempts). Brett - 36.6% (15 wins in 41 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 501, excluding the lost/missing episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!")
I bet if you made the lost media wiki forum are off this, then they would be found within a year or 5! They find old lost media thought to be long gone, all the time!
Poor Ron, they knew he was uncomfortable with the men coming towards him; but they likely did it because they knew he didn't like it. But those were the days before someone would have shouted "sexual harrassment."
To double-check my memory and Charles's statement, I searched online and found photos of the Ty-D-Bol man with 3 different boats, and they ALL had motors.
He fell asleep on his couch with the lit cigarette, and was intoxicated. Poor guy had a history of bipolar disorder. Crazy he was dead a year after this 😔

Both of his sons are on Facebook. Neither one looks particularly like him. There are no current pics of him on their Facebook pages, but their mother Linda is. I'm guessing they got divorced at some point. Apparently he remained with Highland High School in Bakersfield for his entire teaching career. Later on he would become the head coach for the school's baseball team.
15:50 The Question is read perfectly, as allways but Brett has to open her Big Mouth and acts like she didn't hear it as allways.....But the best part is when the camera pans to Connie, 16:00 Connie sees How Bretts will do anything to get her face on camera. 16:09 10 seconds later Bretts still yapping about nothing....
That mouth never shuts up cause she had tooo many liquids at lunch & dinner breaks. And she is so jealous of anyone getting a second more of camera time than her. And burghoff is worse than her.
@@arthuridisExactly. And I loved them back then and still do now. And a lot of laughing and cutting up was because they were comedians and funny actors, or both. Plus, they did the feel good meds too. And drinking. But I'm with you...who cares? Have these judgemental people looked in the mirror?

Michael Sebastian He was VERY jealous of his son, David Cassidy for becoming more famous/popular than him. It was horrible! How can a father be jealous of his own son! Didn’t know he was bi, but how obvious. Makes sense too.

He did. He recently retired as a teacher and coach in a high school.
Ron did have a good life. So did Janet Finn.
And the love of my life, Wayne Roundtree who we lost way too young at ~56. I am so in love with him!

He could be charming and witty but he had a lot of personal problems. He died about a year after this in 1976.

Not Jack Carter, it was Jack Cassidy.
He fell asleep on his couch with the lit cigarette, and was intoxicated. Poor guy had a history of bipolar disorder. Crazy he was dead a year after this 😔

Still love ya, Ron! I have to come and watch these episodes often to enjoy you some more!!!!
Back at ya, Shar.
IS RON STILL ALIVE IF SO WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE AND HOW OLD IS HE NOW? I'M GUESSING HE'S IN HIS EARLY 70'S TO MID 70'S.
He was talking to folks a few shows ago...go back to about show 498 and look in the comments. He's retired now.
RIP Betty. XOXO

I would have matched Ron in the Super Match, but that was a difficult one.

I thought it was a slam dunk. Ron wuz robbed
I matched Betty on this one. Both responses were good, camera & contact
"WW" was a great movie. Music was great.
OMG if you look CLOSELY @10:12, it looks like Ron was about to kiss Janice 😱
I've yet to see how the game ends.
