Does quiz shows have any unique selling point?
All quiz shows attempt to have a unique selling point in order to distinguish them from the many others on TV. Millionaire’s is the top prize and the simplicity ( just questions and answers, as the host says) plus the audience participation and ‘phone a friend aspects. U.C. on the other hand has students competing for the title but no money, just the honour of winning. Weakest Link requires the contestants to work together but then stab each other in the back to win the money. Blockbusters pitted a solo contestant against a pair.
