Portfolio Outline
Formats:
Do you have a clue where you come from even if youve never been there? That's the question in Culture Shock Norway" (produced by Monster Entertainment). In this reality show, a group of ten disoriented Norwegian-Americans is dropped into Norway to complete a series of extreme physical and fun challenges. In the final episode, the winner not only receives a 50,000 Dollars prize money, he is also entitled to a family reunion with the long-lost relatives in Norway.
Its off the turf and onto the ice: in the celebrity sports event Stars in Danger: Ice Soccer (produced by Brainpool) soccer is played in an ice hockey arena. Instead of using cleats or spikes, the players wobble around the playing field on the slippery soles of bowling shoes. Other editions of the fun sports event series Stars in Danger (produced by Brainpool) are Asian cooking Woks racing, Car Ball and Stock Car Crash race. Face your fears! - this is the motto of Fobiac (produced by NovusTV). In each episode of the show, the viewers are introduced to one fear and they can watch how three celebrities try to overcome their fears in challenging tasks. Thanks to exciting experiments, scientific facts and figures and the explanations of an expert, Fobiac also helps to develop a deeper understanding of fears. In the innovative game show Money Trap (produced by Redseven Entertainment) two families will be handed a suitcase filled with 15,000 in cash. All they have to do is spend the money. The catch: Only the family with the most money remaining will get to keep their purchases. In the sports comedy format Kick the Pros (produced by Constantin Entertainment) a football team of cast celebrities and regular fans is opposed against the nations most successful, most loved and most hated football club. The finale is a nerve-wrecking live match in front of a packed stadium, presented by popular hosts and well-known sports commentators. All proceeds from the event are donated to charity. Summer Girls (produced by Joker productions) is an entertaining reality casting for young and sexy girls. Battle of the Homes (produced by TV People) gives 3 couples all close friends the chance to share their unadorned truth of each others taste in interior decoration. Once the truth is out and each couple knows what their friends really think, they are given the chance to redeem themselves in their friends eyes: redesign one room!
