===''Match Game'' (Canada)=== A Canadian revival of ''Match Game'' debuted on March 5, 2010, as ''[[:fr:Atomes crochus|Atomes crochus]],'' a Québécois version on [[V (TV network)|V]], with [[Alexandre Barrette]] as host and produced by Zone 3, in association with FremantleMedia North America. A coinciding English-language version debuted on [[The Comedy Network]] October 15, 2012 and was hosted by [[Darrin Rose]], with [[Seán Cullen]] and [[Debra DiGiovanni]] as permanent panelists. On April 4, 2013, it was announced that due to high ratings, the show returned for a 60-episode second season, which premiered on September 2.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} The first English-language season shared studios with the French-language version in [[Montreal]], with production of the English version moving to [[Showline Studios]] in [[Toronto]] for season 2. Gameplay is similar to the 1990 U.S. revival, two rounds are played, with all six celebrities participating in both rounds, and each match is worth 50 points (100 points starting in season 2). The third round is called match-up!, with each contestant given 45 seconds to match/his her chosen celebrity partner, and successful matches are again worth 50 points (100 starting in season 2). The contestant with more points at the end of this round wins the game and receives the cash equivalent of his or her score (for example, if the champion's final score was 450 points, the payoff would be $450). If there is a tie after Match-Up, one tiebreaking Match-up is shown with three choices. Both contestants secretly chose their picks and the celebrity that last played Match-Up gets to break the tie with his/her verbal response. Unlike any previous version, the audience match portion of the Super Match is not played for a payoff, but simply to determine the value of the head-to-head match. The potential payoffs are $2,500–$2,000–$1,500, or $1,000 for an unsuccessful match. If the champion manages a lucky star wheel spin, as in earlier versions, the value is doubled for a payoff of up to $5,000. Originally, in season 1 the payoffs were $2,000–$1,500–$1,000, or $500 for an unsuccessful match, with a potential top payoff of $4,000 for a lucky star wheel spin.
