 | | A game show is a radio or television programme involving members of the public or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, playing a game, perhaps involving answering quiz questions, for points or prizes. |
 | | In a reality show the competition usually lasts several days or even weeks and a competitor's progress through the game is based on some form of popularity contest, usually a kind of disapproval voting by their fellow competitors or members of the public. |
 | | In the US, television game shows fell out of favor in the 1950s after it was revealed that favored contestants on The 64,000 Dollar Question and other shows had been given answers and coached by the producers. |
