Contrasting game show sets

Countdown and Total Wipe Out
These two game shows are very different and have different ways of working. Countdown is a quiz game show where as Total wipe out is a game show which requires a set of physical activities to be held out by the contestants. Countdown is requires mental work and intelligence for the contestants to be able to solve the puzzles. The set of countdown is simple and has a blue theme so it doesn't look too boring but it is only blue so it doesn't look so childish because the target audience is mainly adults who enjoy solving puzzles where as little children would find it boring. On the other hand Total Wipe out has a range of sets and activities for the contestants to participate in. The set has a blue (water) and a red theme the blue is because of the water because most of the activities are water sports. The sets have different layouts in countdown the host is with the contestant and in Total wipe out the host is hosting from a separate room because he doesn't join in the activities. The host room is plain with a large window to shoe the viewers the contestants whilst the host is speaking. Countdown is just a plain room with desks for everyone to work on. Total wipe out sets are different for each stage and even though the hosts try to make the show in countdown, total wipe out is naturally funny because of the activities and the fact that it is outside and the contestants fall into water each time they fail. Total wipe out is usually held in the summer because they have water sports so the scene looks good too because of the blue sky.

These two sets in the game shows are contrasting because of the things you have to do in each game show. However there is a contrast between the sets of I'm a celeb and Total Wipe out as well because I'm a celeb has a different range of activities for the contestants where as Total Wipe out is repetitive. However compared to countdown the set of total wipe out is simple but entertaining and effective because of the tasks. Countdown also has a simple set but with the puzzles the audience wouldn't really look at the set as much
