100% Mobile TV Gameshows
Spin the wheel to find the weakest millionaire with golden balls
Although many sporting professionals might disagree, it's not unreasonable to suggest gameshows are a contemporary form of gladiatorial sport.
Their purpose is to create an arena in which the elite are tested – usually against other members of that elite's specialist skill group. Moreover, these select few aren't put into direct competition for intellectual or physical growth; they're pitted against each other for the bloodthirsty amusement of the common people. We revel in the constant cross and parry of destructive testing for the thrill of seeing the mighty fall, and to lift the brave onto our shoulders for a few minutes of fleeting glory.
But the reason we watch the elite battle it out is because we want to be one of them. The only thing stopping most people from becoming one of the leaders is the risk of failure; to believe in our own prowess enough to test it against the opportunity of winning a million pounds. And that's a risk requiring rich blood.
For those of us who'd settle for £250 rather than potentially and publically displaying our ignorance, mobile conversions of our favourite intellectual blood sports provide a taste of the elite's thrill – without the responsibility of real-life success or failure.
This is why there's rarely a week goes by without a mobile gaming chart featuring at least one gameshow conversion, and the reason they'll never go out of fashion. Take a look at our list of 100% Mobile Gameshows, and treat yourself to a taste of gripping gladiatorial contest.
