Gameplay

Each team was given 100 points to begin the game. One member of each team – the men for the first half of the show, the women during the second half – were asked the questions, while the other member was taken to an off-stage room. Each could be seen and heard via a monitor that sat before each player; Garagiola communicated with them via an on-stage speaker phone.


Garagiola read a statement (e.g., "How he shows affection"), and each contestant would have to raise their hand. The first three to raise their hands would say a one- or two-word answer, which Gaagiola would ask them to explain. The answers would then be read one at a time over the phone, and the off-stage partner would have to ring in if they thought their partner had said it. If the first person to ring in was correct, they won 25 points. If they were wrong, they lost 10 points, as did the team which originally gave the answer. Each of the three answers would be read in random order.


The men and women switched after two questions. After four questions were played, a final question was asked for which only the first person to raise her hand would get to answer. At the end of the game, the team(s) with the most points won $250 and week's stay at any Holiday Inn. The remaining couples would win a $100 gift certificate for any Holiday Inn. The celebrity couple played for a designated couple in the audience which would be revealed at the end of the show.
