REALITY
Release The Hounds:Reggie Yates hosts this horror-themed game show that pushes contestants to the edge through
gruesome tests that take place during the night in a remote forest. In each episode, three contestants enter the forest at dusk and are told they have the opportunity to unlock chests full of money. What they're not told is that in order to win big, they have to conquer some of the scariest
challenges they'll ever face in order to locate the hidden keys. And if the contestants manage to pass the mental and physical tests, they still must outrun a pack of dogs trained to guard the cash in order
to earn all the money.
I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!:Originally eight, these days ten, celebrities are dropped off in some Australian bush where they
must survive for two weeks. During the first week, viewers vote as to who should do the
Bushtucker Trials. During the second week, they vote to keep their favourite in. The last one left is declared King/Queen of the Jungle and takes
the share of the money raised from phone votes for their charity.
The Apprentice:A group of aspiring
businesswomen and men compete for the chance to win a £250,000 investment from
British business magnate, Alan Sugar
Celebrity Big Brother:Every week, each member of the house nominates the two people they would most
like evicted. The two or more people with the most votes are then offered to the public who decide who they want to kick out in a phone vote. The big thing is the
eviction, and they need to be cruel to be kind because the last person left at the end of the series wins £70,000
COOKING
Come Dine With Me:Five contestants each cook a three course meal for a dinner
party. The participants vote on the success of the evening, and the winner goes home with a cash prize.
The Great British Bake Off:Ten home bakers compete in a nationwide baking contest. Each week sees the home
bakers set three challenges designed to test a particular baking discipline. The home baker judged the best at the end of the series wins
the title of Britain's best amateur baker.
MasterChef:Six cooks each day battle it out over a series of
culinary challenges. The six are cut down to three in an Invention Test (use these ingredients and
make something quickly style challenge). Whichever three (or sometimes four) the two
judges deem the worst, go home; the winners stay overnight for two more challenges, working a shift in a professional kitchen (The Pressure Test) and preparing their best two course meal (The Final
Test).
Cupcake Wars:In each episode, four of the country's top bakers compete for a $10,000 prize in a cupcake-baking competition. The
show consists of three rounds, with one contestant eliminated after each round. In round one, the contestants
must baking a cupcake that is judged on taste alone. Baking three cupcakes is the task in the second round, when they are judged on both taste and presentation. Then, the remaining two bakers are each given a five-person team in the final round, in which they have two
hours to make 1,000 cupcakes. The baker who the judges determine made the best cupcakes in all three rounds
takes home the cash.
Trapped! is a game/quiz show where a group of children have to go through levels and try to escape the tower.
Trapped!Set in a gothic fairy-tale, a group of six children called "the Unfortunates" are winched up to the sixth floor of a tower looked over by Greenall's
Caretaker character. On each floor, the children are challenged to complete a game except that one of them is
instructed by the Voice to sabotage the game. The saboteur is nominated at random by the Voice, and fed this information plus hints on how to mess up
the game If the task is won, the saboteur is knocked out and
must remain trapped on this level. If the task is lost, everyone votes on who they thought the
saboteur was and the person with the most votes is trapped instead - which may or may not be the real
saboteur.
The show as a whole is set in a five-storey tower which, from the opening titles, appears to be on a small island in the middle of the sea. The show is mainly aimed and children and pre-teenagers as the genre is horror for kids therefore it isn’t too inappropriate for young people. The rules of the show are that you cannot cheat and you cannot trust anyone.
