Do I really need?....



Do I really need?....

The show could explore the need for gameshows and people's need and obsession with gameshows.

For example personal idenitity with the contestant players on gameshows like "Deal or No Deal" or "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" who go on the show to win money, as today we live in a time of the credit crunch and recession, these gameshows provide an escapism for the audience and diversion and entertainment as it is an easy way of making money.

Other gameshows that people are interested in are talent shows such as "Strictly Come Dancing" and "The X Factor", this is also diversion and entertainment as it sees people living their dreams of becoming professional dancers and pop singers.

It inspires the audience and they therefore have a need for them as these types of gameshows interpellates the audience into the feel good narrative of the show, the message of self confidence or in some cases by winning or participating in a gameshow improves the contestants or celebrity's self image and progression into fame.

Also gameshows like "Stictly Come Dancing" is a way of introducing and encouraging people to become more healthy by watching the show they can be inspired and dance with their own partners.
