Dating game show is out of date

Dating game shows once took television by storm. This is where many couples fell in love, got to know each other and started dating in real life. However, in the past 2 years, famous dating game shows have suddenly disappeared. Examples include: Who is that person, Love Luggage, Speed ​​Matchmaking...

In which, "Who is that person" used to be dating game show attracted the most attention when it featured prominent stars such as: Tran Thanh, Huong Giang, Minh Tu... This game show aired until 2023, then paused and showed no signs of returning.

It can be seen that, in reality, although "Who is that person" in 2023 has had many innovations, but after many seasons on air, keeping the heat will be a difficult problem for the producer to be able to retain loyal audiences.

“Perfect Confession” used to be a dating game show that connected couples and was loved by young people. However, this game show gradually fell into oblivion and has not been broadcast again. The reason is that this game show is considered to be mainly PR for the players (young singers and actors), lacking authenticity and disappointing the audience.

Similarly, “Love Luggage” is a dating game show that once attracted attention but then got into a scandal that caused a lot of noise from a male guest from Hue who gave a standard for choosing a wife and was criticized for disrespecting women, and the producer used offensive tricks to attract views. That made this dating game show lose sympathy with the audience and “Love Luggage” was not produced for new seasons after that.

A rare dating game show that has been broadcast recently is “Paradise Island”. This is a dating game show with the participation of both Vietnamese and Korean artists. Initially, this dating game show also received some attention, but gradually what the audience remembers is the show’s controversy.

Why are dating shows dying?

To date, You Want to Date is the only dating show that has been consistently airing since its first broadcast in 2013. After more than 1,000 episodes, the show is considered the longest-running dating show. Although it is no longer as popular as before, the producers still maintain its broadcast to serve its loyal audience.

Although it has received a lot of controversy from the players, "You want to date" is still considered a highly realistic dating game show when the number of couples getting married and dating has reached several hundred.

However, in general, it can be seen that the common formula of the above-mentioned dating game shows often chooses shocking elements and controversial statements to attract the attention of the audience. This is considered the reason why dating game shows have difficulty maintaining their appeal because the audience stops watching.

Explaining the story of game shows using too many dramatic elements, Master of Psychology Le Nguyen Anh Khoi - CEO of Clink Company, Ho Chi Minh City - analyzed: "The abuse of tricks has made dating game shows gradually become offensive in the eyes of the audience. In particular, some players have the appearance, the purpose of being mentioned by name and are understood to have other motives such as wanting to be famous, wanting to enter showbiz rather than finding the other half. Tricks to make the game show attractive is necessary, it is a vital factor that determines success or failure. However, producers need to balance to avoid abuse".

Master Anh Khoi added that another reason why dating game shows no longer exist is because currently, many entertainment programs and reality game show The emergence of Anh trai say hi, Chi dep dap gio... has taken up a large audience share, making it impossible for dating shows to compete. In addition, music game shows are easier to generate profits for producers, so they will be favored over dating game shows.
