The circled man is serial killer Rodney Alcala. By the time of that appearance on the show, he had raped several women and murdered at least one.

He won the game, but the woman never went on the date with him. You can imagine how relieved she is.

In 1978, Alcala was a contestant on the popular game show The Dating Game. Host Jim Lange introduced him as a "successful photographer who got his start when his father found him in the darkroom at the age of 13, fully developed. Between takes you might find him skydiving or motorcycling."

A fellow "bachelor" contestant later described Alcala as a "very strange guy" with "bizarre opinions".[10] Alcala won the competition, and a date with bachelorette Cheryl Bradshaw, who subsequently refused to go out with him because she found him "creepy".[6][10] Criminal profiler Pat Brown, noting that Alcala killed at least three women after his Dating Game appearance, speculated that this rejection might have been an exacerbating factor. "One wonders what that did in his mind", Brown said. "That is something he would not take too well. [Serial killers] don't understand the rejection. They think that something is wrong with that girl: 'She played me. She played hard to get.'"[10]
