Sammy Lee is the famous name in this show, but the highlight for me is his partner Nona, self-proclaimed "Tomato Queen of the Ozarks".

Please note that the a/v synch is off for the first segment and I wasn't able to fix it. This only affects the segment with couple #1. If this is too jarring for you, I recommend skipping to 8:50.

COUPLE #1: Ralph Yack / Marianne Booth, deep-voiced former soprano who injured her voice taking singing lessons
COUPLE #2: High school students: Douglas Hopper / Ardythe Smith
COUPLE #3: Nona Morton, "Tomato Queen of the Ozarks" / Sammy Lee, two time gold medal winning Olympic diver
