1. The application forms show that the producers of the game shows are looking for someone entertaining to be on their game show. Not necessarily smart or funny, but entertaining for the audience. If it's a game show based on physical accomplishment, such as Ninja Warrior, they look for fit, healthy people to take part. If it is a game show based on mental prowess, such as Countdown, they will tend to look for more intelligent people, so that the audience do not get frustrated with the contestants.

The Cube: Mainstreamers/Succeeders, C1-B
Ninja Warrior: Aspirers/Explorers, D-C1
