Are there any people who were contestants on The Love Connection 20 years ago who see themselves on the show when it is rebroadcast on Game Show Network? If so, tell us what goes through your mind when you see the show. It must be a bit strange to see.
Yes, I was on Love Connection back in 1987, filmed there in LA and also did "Matchmaker" which is just lost somewhere in the vaults of the studios. I see myself at least once a year and hear from my friends as well who say, "Was that YOU I saw on Love Connection?!".
I am Russ Vandeveerdonk who dated Melanie Lentz and it was a funny and strange date for all to see. I still look exactly the same today!! I wish they would do a "whatever happened to them" show and see who married, died or whatever else. That would be good tv. I know Eric Leiber should still have the records and contact information from the show. Advise, thanks, [email protected]
Do you ever find it sort of bizarre to see yourself on TV from 20 years ago?
I'm sure veteran actors and actresses, especially those whose advanced age keeps them home alot, who watch their own old movies on TV are used to that feeling, but for one-time only game show celebrities, it must be a bit odd to watch themselves on GSN.
And yes, a "whatever happened to them" show is a fabulous idea! GSN should do it.
People love nostalgia!
Call them!! RussJFK

Chuck usually tells the contestants to keep in touch. There was a short segement in an episode in which a former contestant returned, to tell that he had married the with the woman he met on Love Connection. Then, a toddler came out on stage, also a product of the same Love Connection.
