Each daily winner returned to compete on the Friday show to become "Dream Girl of the Week". All weekly winners returned at the end of the year to compete for the title of "Dream Girl of '67" and with the helping of The Beautiful & Healthy Resident Dream Girl.

Trivia[]

Dick Stewart hosted the show for the first six months, then Wink Martindale took over from June 26 to September 1. When Martindale left to host ABC's How's Your Mother-In-Law?, Paul Petersen (Jeff Stone on The Donna Reed Show) became the new host.

Bobby Rydell was one of the judges in the 1967 version.

A pilot for a revival was shot in 1978 with Lyle Waggoner as host for weekly first-run syndication, but not enough stations signed on and did not sell.
