'T hiranthiduu Sesame' of Vijay Tv, 'Jodi Porutham' of Sun TV or 'Jackpot' of Jaya TV. Why do you think that these shows are so popular? Are they because of the anchors, the clothes they wear or the most important reason, prize money and gift vouchers? Every show has so much prize money and prize matters attached. Though eventually there will definitely be some relevance to the show too. Reality shows and other game show have not left any stone unturned when luring audience is concerned

When asked a few people, they said that they watch the programs for the anchor and to check out the clothes they wear! VijayaRathna, a house wife said, "Oh! I watch these game shows only for the anchors. Some of my favorite actors anchor it and I can't afford to miss it. And it is so interesting to see the way they dress up. Absolutely stunning design of blouses and beautiful saris which sets a new trend after every episode!".

Saravanan, Phrama Employee says, "What sense do these game shows make? The questions are so ridiculous and the prize money is absolutely irrelevant. And there are so many people watching it and worse thing, they enjoy it too. I think the only thing of which I can make sense is the different tour packages which are provided during the shows. They really help me plan my holidays most of the time. Though I do not like to watch these shows, I force myself to watch them for an update on the packages."
