Good answer, indeed! Now let’s see what the panelists had to say:

**notfrommensa** : A blonde

**HardlySanguine** : my wife

\*\*Maus Magill \*\*: A presidential candidate. , which the judge says is a match!

**cmkeller** : a scarecrow

**Dolores Reborn** : George W. Bush , which the judge says cannot be a match because the former president is no longer an active politician. Sorry.

**Hoopy Frood** : Paris Hilton  
So, we go to round two with the score 3-1. Low score goes first, so **Dr. Girlfriend** , this is your round two question. Panelists, please PM me now with your best answer to this:

> Tarzan said, “Tarzan worried Jane having affair. Yesterday, her come home with \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ on collar.”

So that is what they call it on the match game.

They called it “making whoopee” on the Newlywed Game.

Haha! What a fruity answer! Okay, let’s see what our panelists came up with:

Good answer **Dr Girlfriend**! Sorry I didn’t match.

I was too obsessed on why Jane had an outfit with a collar to figure out a good answer.

It is not like Jane wears blouses or a turtleneck sweaters.
