[edit] Gameplay
Two female contestants faced a group of seven male celebrities (hence the title), who each had a car key that could be used for the day's bonus game. The ladies tried to predict how the celebrity panel would answer a series of yes or no questions such as "Have you ever been in trouble with the law?" On a player's turn, she would then question the male celebs for one minute. When the minute ended, she had to choose a celebrity which she thought would meet the criteria for the round.
[edit] Round One
In the first round, the contestants were looking for the celebrities who said YES. Correct predictions won the lady contestant that celebrity's car key.
[edit] Round Two
In the second round, the contestants looked for celebrities who said NO. Again, a correct prediction won a key, but a wrong prediction this time resulted in the key for that celebrity being awarded to her opponent.
[edit] Round Three (The Catch-Up Round)
In the final round, using only the male celebs whose key hadn't been won yet, each of the two contestants were given the chance to straight-up question a celebrity, based on the round's topic. Then, the player had to decide if the celebrity said YES or NO to the question. If right, she won the key and got the right to take one of her opponent's keys as well (if any); otherwise, the key(s) would go to her opponent.
The first player to get all seven keys, or the one with the most keys at the end of three rounds won the game and played the bonus round. The loser got a consolation prize.
[edit] The Car Bonus Round
The champion got one key selection for each day she was on the show. If the player had gotten all seven keys during the maingame, she got a bonus key selection. The keys were tried in the car in alphabetical order (based on the celebrities' names), in the event the contestant had multiple key selections. If any of the keys selected by the contestant started the car, she won it (balloons would drop down) and retired as undefeated champion. If not, she won a consolation prize that was inside the car's trunk, and returned on the next show.
[edit] Trivia
Game show hosts Pat Sajak, Peter Tomarken, Gene Rayburn, Mike Adamle and Fred Travelena appeared as male panelists on the show.
