serbia’s fascination with reality tv shows…
out of five most viewed programs, three are reality shows. the list reads: at no.1 is the national news program, no.2 is “farm” - reality tv program set on a farm and testing homemaking skills of celebrities, no.3 is “i have talent” and no.4 is “big brother”.
but to me, this chart is interesting for its no.5. it’s a quiz show called “slagalica” (puzzle). it has been running for over 15 years and it’s a very simple show in it’s form. it gives two players various puzzles (with letters, numbers, q&a, associations) to compete in. the reason i like it is that it is very simple and honest, no big sets and scenography, only humble hosts and smart puzzles. it also fosters good sportsmanship (at the end of the show the contestants thank each other), humble behaviour and somewhat creativity (the main prize is a “do it yourself” house and chinese brand of a jeep! very unique for quiz prizes!). :)
maybe this list shows that simple, humble and smart things are valued by the audience too. :)
