Television personality and reality star Kristin Cavallari is tapped to host the brand-new PARADISE HOTEL, the innovative unscripted dating competition series in which sexy singles try to remain in paradise for as long as possible by pairing up. In the reinvention of the hit series, viewers will play along at home using social media to try and influence the action on the show. The trailblazing series will debut with a special, two-hour premiere Thursday, May 9 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, and will air three nights a week in an "as it happens" format during its five-week run. Following the Thursday night premiere, the series will air on Mondays (starting May 13 at 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), Wednesdays (starting May 15 at 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and, with LIVE elements, on Thursdays (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). "Kristin grew up on the frontlines of reality television and is the perfect host to introduce PARADISE HOTEL to a new generation of viewers," said Rob Wade, President, Alternative Entertainment and Specials, FOX Entertainment. "The show is a fun balance of romantic love, cutthroat competition and humor, and Kristin's unique experience, especially with live television, makes her the best person to navigate the wild, unpredictable moments." "I'm so excited to be hosting PARADISE HOTEL this summer!" said Cavallari. "This show literally has everything - dating, love triangles, alliances, competition - and I can't wait to stir the pot and have a front-row seat to all the drama!" The modernized version of the international hit is executive-produced by SallyAnn Salsano (495 Productions, "Jersey Shore Family Vacation," "Jersey Shore," "The Bachelor"); Becca Walker ("Love Island," "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!"); James Sunderland ("America's Got Talent," "SafeWord," "Lip Sync Battle Shorties"); Paul Osborne ("Big Brother," "Celebrity Wife Swap," "Secret Millionaire"); and Celia Taylor ("50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy," "A League of Your Own, with James Corden," "An Idiot Abroad") of Mentorn Media, the original creators of the groundbreaking "Paradise Hotel" format. |

Live Dealer... or No Dealer |
|
Most of us are familiar with the highly popular television game show Deal or No Deal. But many of us realise that we have not the chance of a snowflake's survival in Hades to ever make it onto prime-time TV, let alone leave with millions in the bank; or rather, millions in the briefcase thanks to the bank. Well, that is all about to change thanks to the brilliant team of developers at Evolution Gaming. The live casino specialists recently announced that they will be launching a live casino Deal or No Deal game soon. Much like the contestants on the popular television show, players will have the opportunity to work their way through a selection of levels in the hopes of sticking it out until the very last and making it all the way to the final briefcase. |

Paddy McGuinness Catches "Catchpoint" |
|
Paddy McGuinness presents Catchpoint - BBC One's gameshow with difference. This is the very first physical game show where contestants need quick reflexes and brains in order to win the cash prize. Ten giant screens have balls hidden above them which drop from the correct answer. Contestants must think fast because if they choose the wrong screen and miss the ball falling they risk losing their place in the game. The series begins on Saturday 23 March. The premise of the game is simple - don't drop the ball! In the studio, ten large rectangular LED screens are positioned along the back wall of the Catch Zone. These screens will display the answers to each question that the players will face. Suspended above the Catch Zone are ten trapdoors - each containing a ball. Only the trapdoor that is located directly above the correct answer screen will open and send a ball plummeting to the ground. All the players must do is stand in front of the screen that they think is displaying the correct answer, press the button to release the ball and then catch the ball when it drops from the correct answer trapdoor. If the player is standing in the right place, it should be a piece of cake but get it wrong and they'll have to rely on fast moves and quick reflexes not to drop that ball! With a variety of rounds, all leading up to an exciting finale where a cash prize is at stake, Catchpoint is a brand new family-friendly game show, combining physical fun with general knowledge questions, in the ultimate battle of brains and balls. |

Some networks continually reinvent themselves in an attempt to keep audiences interested. But over the past year, Game Show Network discovered that the best way to retain and build viewers is to stop trying to reinvent the wheel when it came to programming—and the network's own name. So as the network—which has ditched its GSN moniker and is known once again by its previous name—heads into this year's upfront agency meetings, it's doing so by emphasizing the ratings growth that has resulted from its return to "fun, simple games," said John Zaccario, evp, ad sales. It's a continuation of the strategy that the network first unveiled during last year's upfront talks. When Fran Shea, evp, programming and marketing, joined Game Show Network in late 2017, she helped it pivot back to traditional game show formats and scheduling. Its series are now "stripped" across all five weeknights, just as syndicated game shows are, and reflect the method that its audience prefers to watch them. That includes a trio of new game shows introduced in the last year—Caroline and Friends, America Says and Common Knowledge—all of which the network has renewed. The shows had been introduced in the fringe daypart and improved their respective time periods between 10-15 percent in total audience and adults 25-54 demos, before being moved to prime time. They helped spark a ratings resurgence at the network: In total day and adults 25-54, the network's ratings are up between high-single and double digits year over year, said Zaccario. And the network welcomed 14 million new viewers last year. Game Show Network's number of original hours has tripled since Shea's arrival, from 93 in 2019 to almost 350 hours slated for next year. As part of its strategy shift, the network also gave its own name a retro spin last July, reverting back to Game Show Network from GSN to further emphasize what it does best. "We heard from the core audience that they want more traditional game shows and less of the kinds of things that we were feeding them two and three years ago. It made sense to use that as the brand," said Zaccario. "It speaks to exactly who we are." The trio of new shows quickly connected with viewers. Quiz show Common Knowledge, which debuted in January and is hosted by *Nsync's Joey Fatone, became Game Show Network's most-watched show in total viewers. America Says, which is hosted by actor John Michael Higgins and features two teams of friends and family competing to answer fill-in-the-blank survey responses, is its No. 1 show in women 25-54. Caroline & Friends, in which comedian Caroline Rhea picks her favorite funny and cute viral videos with help from celeb pals, also has ratings momentum. Joining those returning shows are a pair of new series, both of which will also be stripped. Best Ever Trivia Show pits three contestants against three trivia experts, while Catch 21—which combines the classic card game 21 with pop culture trivia—is a reboot of a show that aired on the network a decade ago. In this upfront, Zaccario will seek more brand partnerships for Game Show Network Daily Draw, a short-form sweepstakes in which a $500 winner is announced each night. The show yielded more than 2 million entries last year. "It was a way to make our viewers feel as if they were contestants, and because they shoot that frequently, we're able to integrate brands into that environment," Zaccario said. "Now that we've had some success there, we'll be more aggressive [this year]." In addition to its new and returning series, Game Show Network is developing several new shows, including Mannerz (from former Fox late night host Spike Feresten, a survey-based show about proper behavior in modern social situations), Crazy Awkward Love Game (a blind date-type show executive produced by Howie Mandel in which the potential suitors' family members are interviewed) and People Puzzler (inspired by People Magazine's pop culture crossword puzzle). |

TUESDAY: Fox, Rob Lowe, and a Robotic Spheroid Thingie |
|
Take a moment to imagine Fox's Mental Samurai, a new game show hosted by Rob Lowe in which contestants are hurtled around in a metal basket attached to a giant robot arm and then forced to answer trivia questions. The giant robot arm is named Ava, and although host Rob Lowe says things like, "Meet Ava," as though we're all being introduced to a giant robotic personality, it's just a huge robot arm thing with a bucket on the end. Contestants are strapped inside of the bucket, and then Ava propels them high and low to various towers called the Towers of Samurai. The contestants have five minutes to answer questions from each one: the Tower of Memory, the Tower of Sequence, the Tower of Puzzles, and the Tower of Knowledge. If contestants manage to successfully answer the questions of all four towers, they proceed to the Circle of Samurai, where they are still strapped in a robot bucket and given even more trivia to answer. ABC (3.406 million viewers, #3; adults 18-49: 0.7, #T2) then was the number two draw among adults 18-49 with originals from "American Housewife" (3.935 million viewers, #8; adults 18-49: 0.8, #T4), "The Kids Are Alright" (3.030 million viewers, #9; adults 18-49: 0.6, #T9), "Black-ish" (2.720 million viewers, #11; adults 18-49: 0.6, #T9), "Splitting Up Together" (2.377 million viewers, #12; adults 18-49: 0.6, #T9) and "The Rookie" (4.188 million viewers, #7; adults 18-49: 0.7, #T6). Sharing the silver was FOX (2.540 million viewers, #4; adults 18-49: 0.7, #T2) with a new "MasterChef Junior" (2.800 million viewers, #10; adults 18-49: 0.8, #T4) and the debut of "Mental Samurai" (2.280 million viewers, #13; adults 18-49: 0.7, #T6). Meanwhile, CBS (6.410 million viewers, #1; adults 18-49: 0.6, #4) opted for repeats of "NCIS" (8.376 million viewers, #1; adults 18-49: 0.7, #T6), "FBI" (6.193 million viewers, #3; adults 18-49: 0.6, #T9) and "NCIS: New Orleans" (4.662 million viewers, #6; adults 18-49: 0.5, #T13).

SYNDIES: Week 24 |
|
Viewer support for long-time host Alex Trebek, who on March 6 revealed that had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, helped make Jeopardy the top-rated game show in the session ending March 10. Although the veteran quiz show scored a five-week high 6.9 live-plus-same-day national Nielsen, it still had no answer for February sweep champ — and usual ratings leader — Judge Judy, which jumped to a 7.5 and continued to outperform all syndicated shows for the 35th week in a row. In the household rating rankings that follow, % change is from the previous week; * indicates a new season-high rating; ** indicates a new season low; NC indicates no change from the previous week; NA mean not applicable.

Baking It... WITH Buddy |
|
In Food Network's newest bake-off, winners get to have their cake and eat it, too. Or perhaps more accurately, viewers will be able to eat it. Hosted by "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro, the newly ordered baking competition series will test not only contestants' oven skills, but their business savvy as well. "Bake You Rich" lets four entrepreneurial pastry chefs face off for the chance to have one of their custom-made creations sold to the public on the Carlo's Bakery website, per the popular cable channel. The four-episode series features new obstacles that go beyond tasting good and looking pretty. Each episode involves three challenges, with the final two competitors going head-to-head to mass-produce their confections at Carlo's, all the while dealing with machinery malfunctions and last-minute recipe changes. The rotating panel of judges includes Valastro, Chad Durkin, Erin McGinn, Vincent Tubito, and Valastro's wife Lisa, who must decide which tasty treat is best poised to sell big in Carlo's online marketplace. |
