Good afternoon, game show fans! Today's article will be
highlighting some of the latest game show news and updates this week in 200
characters or less, from the latest game show ratings to struggling big money
game shows. All ratings for syndicated game shows are from the week of October
6.
Today and Friday, Dr. Mehmet Oz will be stopping by the Millionaire set to play the game for his
charity HealthCorps, founded by he and his wife to fight childhood obesity. Check
your local listings.
“Big Money Week” continues all this week on The Price Is Right and Let’s Make a Deal. We have seen one huge win this week. Stay tuned today and tomorrow to see if anyone else can “break
the bank”.
CBBC, the children’s version of BBC, has ordered 20 episodes
of its first play-along game show Ludis. The
kids’ show has contestants fight a space villain to win back their family and
ticket home.
The Fan Favorite poll for the final spot in the 2000s
bracket for Jeopardy’s “Battle of The
Decades” Tournament is now open on the show’s website.
Voting ends on October 21 at 6:59am PST.
After a strong premiere of 821,000 viewers on September 16
in Australia, Channel 7’s Million Dollar
Minute is now struggling against its rival network’s show, Channel Nine’s Millionaire Hot Seat.
P.S.: If you haven’t seen Million Dollar
Minute, think of it as a minimalistic version of Temptation (Australia’s “New” Sale
of The Century).
In the world of syndicated game shows, Wheel of Fortune increased by 2% up to a 6.7 and Jeopardy! remained stagnant at a 6.0
from the prior week.
Family Feud dropped
