Notes
[edit]- ^ For the purposes of this article, a traditional game show is defined as a televised contest in which prizes can be won within a single episode through objective completion of tasks and not through fan or contestant votes. Shows on YouTube channels or any other means of social media count as a reality show and not a game show. Thus, the $10,000,000 prize won by Jeffrey Randall Allen in Beast Games is not counted, while Deal or No Deal Island is a combination of a traditional game show and reality competition (unlike Survivor).
