ProSieben Germany is revamping Monday prime time this September. At 8:15 PM comes a format with a track record from the Nordics, 'Nation's Dumbest' from BBC Studios. It is a game show "you don't want to win", where celebrities aim to be eliminated as quickly as possible and avoid being crowned "the nation's dumbest".
At 9:20 PM, 'Crash Games' from Banijay Rights returns after a 10-year break, with reality stars tackling wacky Olympic-style challenges.
In the Netherlands, Fremantle's 'B&B of Love' dominates the weekly summer audience charts, scoring 30%+ shares, with top episodes hitting double-digit ratings (6+, live+7, per NMO data). Single B&B owners invite potential partners to live, work, and fall in love in remote locations. It airs Mon–Thu at 8:30 PM on RTL 4.
The British version of 'Destination X' launched on BBC One as the week's most-watched show, drawing 4.3M viewers (live+7, BARB), with Episode 2 at 3.4M. In this adventure format from Be-Entertainment, contestants travel on a reality-distorting bus, guessing their true location or risk elimination. The U.S. version recently wrapped on NBC (0.2 rating 18-49, live+same day, per Nielsen data).
After a successful spring test, TVN Poland will air the Talpa Studios' game show 'The Floor' four times a week, Mon–Thu at 8:55 PM with a 60x30' order, reports Wirtualnemedia.pl.
Brand-new comedic physical game show 'Let's Play Ball' premieres Saturday on SBS6 in the Netherlands. Celebrity-led teams will be rolling a gigantic ball through varied landscapes in this format distributed by Banijay Entertainment.
