Sorry Eternal Glory<\/strong> you’ve been bumped<\/a> by some potentially very exciting breaking news. C21 are reporting that ITV have signed on a format collaboration deal with CJ E&M.<\/a><\/p>\n

The deal will see ITVSGE take two of CJ E&M\u2019s Korean formats to UK broadcasters, while CJ E&M will look at two of ITVSGE\u2019s formats for its family of channels. The companies will also work together to develop the formats for interested broadcasters.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ITVSGE will acquire From Start to Clear<\/strong> and The Genius Game<\/strong> from CJ E&M\u2019s catalogue. CJ E&M\u2019s longest-running entertainment show, From Start to Clear<\/em> sees a celebrity host and his guests play a computer game \u2013 but the twist is they can\u2019t stop until they finish the game.<\/p>\n

The company will also take The Genius Game<\/strong>, which sees 13 players from different backgrounds, from poker champions to CEOs and politicians, compete in a battle of wits by playing 12 strategic games.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Korea is getting The Secret Life of Students<\/em> and Come Date With Me<\/strong> out of the deal.<\/p>\n

Look I know nobody actually calls it The Genius Game<\/em> but AAAAARRRRGGHHH I AM SO SO EXCITED! But let us be clear here, this doesn’t mean that it’s definitely definitely<\/em> happening and if it does happen there’s no guarantee it will translate correctly. It’s probably a bit more ITV2 than 1 but that’s alright because according to Kyunghoon in an interview he did recently<\/a> that’s the age range that’s given it it’s massive Korean ratings anyway.<\/p>\n

The Genius<\/strong> is the greatest reality game since The Mole.<\/strong>\u00a0Contestants take part in games of strategy, logic and game theory to try and outwit each other to the top all to an amazing soundtrack and editing techniques. We first looked at\u00a0it in 2013<\/a> and liked what we saw and have been avid viewers since.<\/p>\n

Edit:<\/strong> David B makes the very good point in the comments that this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to an ITV channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
