Need cash? Try Game Shows

Posted On : Nov-03-2009 | seen (752) times | Article Word Count : 700 |

MOST of us must have already found ourselves in dire need of cash. The reasons could vary --- house nearing foreclosure, hospital emergency, tuition fees, food, among many other legitimate reasons to be in real need of cash.

There’d be those who’d try to borrow some from friends and relatives, while others would make cash advances from their work. To some, stealing or robbing others is the fastest solution to their urgent need for cash.

However, there are few people who’d think of something else. One is to join a game show that offers cash prizes, more than what they actually need.

Not all people can join game shows though. Game shows, which rake in huge revenue from sponsors, are giving away big cash prizes to winning contestants. There is however a selection process that aspiring contestants are required to under. There are also criteria for a wannabe to become one.

The process may be tedious indeed but getting through all these glitches would mean a step closer to instant money. Isn’t it that most (not all) of the contestants are joining game shows for the cash prize?

What makes game shows a ‘hit’?

Regardless of whether it be “Millionaire”, “Jeopardy”, or word games like the “Wheel of Fortune” or pricing gab like “Let's Make a Deal” and “The Price is Right”, all these game shows offer hefty pots that we could use at a time when cash is badly needed.

Game shows thrive not because it is well-loved or top rated program. The truth is that game shows thrive because of poverty. In fact, economists would consider game shows as an economic indicator. More game shows are conceptualized during financial hardships. There are people pinning their hopes of getting out of poverty through game shows that promises big cash prizes.

Most game shows involve questions that have to be answered, problems that require solutions and trick questions which entail a lot of common sense, all for money, courtesy of the sponsors or advertisers of the program. There are also game shows that require physical competition while others would go after “best results”.

There is no definite data as to when these game shows started but Spelling Bee is known to be the first televised game show. It was first seen on TV in 1938 and became an instant hit.

Contestants’ driving force

The most realistic reason perhaps as to why people would want to be on a game show is the pay-off. Another is to prove that he or she has owns the brighter mind. Some would want to be far more superior than others, while others would settle for recognition. There are also those who’d join game shows just for fun.

Regardless of their reasons, winner at the end of the game gets all of it, which includes the cash prize (or in other game shows, prizes come in other forms like leisure trip package, car, house and lot, high tech gadgets, bedroom, kitchen, entertainment or appliance showcases), the superiority, recognition and fun.

Proper attitude at the game proper

There isn’t so much required of a contestant to be able to take home the winnings. There are however some tips to be in top form at the game proper. One is to simply be yourself. It is improper to act phony and far from what you really are. If you honestly believe you have what it takes to win, then act like a winner. After all, having passed through the steep and rigid selection and audition process already makes you a stand out among others.

At the game proper, it is best to pay attention to the host, the rules and regulations and the challenges or questions from where answers would be based. Stay composed. No matter how good you are, there is a higher probability that you’d panic, go nervous and eventually lose if you lose composure.

Game shows are here to stay if only to provide answers and solutions to your financial woes --- but only if you’d dare to. GP
