On tonight’s episode of Bullying Lee Meriwether…

Or: Match Game Who Wore It Better: Lee Meriwether or Laura Ingalls?

Disappointed almost to the point of being offended that Nobody bullies Lee Meriwether about this ensemble in Match Game ‘77 episode 1057:

Guess I’ll have to do the bullying myself 🙄:

What is this outfit, Lee Ann? Your evening wear from when you were crowned Miss Irish Washerwoman 1896?

We’ll excuse any questionable answers just this once because we know you’re still all shook up from coming here today by wagon train on the Oregon Trail.

Better move this game along. Lee Meriwether’s got her audition for Maria Von Trapp in 45 minutes.

(I’m sure there are many zingers I missed. But it’s four fewer than Brett, Charles, Richard, and Betty White missed. Alas. 😔)

#at the risk of sounding like the weirdo in match game YouTube comments who role plays as a panelist… 😂🙃#Lee meriwether #match game #she does get bullied in this episode but not for this outfit or for being miss america but for a couple decidedly Weird Girl answers #and she is such a good sport about it! I love her so so much!#like I used to debate with myself about best match game Pretty Girl but I was trippin. she’s obviously the best #and as much as I do feel she should’ve been promoted to Weird Girl (and appeared at least twice as often as she did)#that would mean she wouldn’t have been on with Fannie Flagg and that would’ve been tragic for me personally #tin foil hatting cringe rpfing a little here but…#but picture it: a week with Ethel merman as Pretty Girl and Lee Meriwether as Weird Girl. a Lot of potential there #or Eva Gabor and Lee Meriwether? 👀#I think the trick to a successful Lee meriwether Weird Girl situation would be to have a very strong Pretty Girl #(not necessarily a good-at-the-game Pretty Girl but an engaging-and-charismatic Pretty Girl. like Sarah Kennedy is good at the game and fun #but not a big enough personality to have someone just as sweet [and Weird Girl adjacent rather than truly Weird Girl] as the Weird Girl;#someone who gives Pretty Girl answers but fights with the judges and/or audience and has really good chemistry with the rest of the panel #and is just a little Too Much which would offset any Weird Girl deficits Lee Meriwether might have)#I’m not sure she could take up the slack for a lame Pretty Girl because although I find her highly amusing she’s not actually a comedienne #but she definitely knows how to call back to a joke and she’s So Pretty and So Charming she could pull it off in the right circumstances #for real though a Duel of the Weird Girl Adjacent Miss Americas Mary Ann Mobley and Lee Meriwether might’ve worked!#lee meriwether is an honorary weird girl. to me.
