Do reality shows fizzle out?

Reality shows revolutionised Indian television last year.

Abhijeet Sawant and Amit Sana became national sensations overnight, thanks to Indian Idol. Viewers had heated arguments about who they thought was more deserving of the title.

And even before Sunil Pal won the The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, people knew him and all the finalists.

But in its second season, many reality shows have failed to create an impact.

Last year's Lakme Fashion House -- the Star One reality series where contestants got a chance to show their design sense and the winner won a crash course at the House of Versace -- has not had a second season yet.

Fame Gurukul, which made Qazi Tauqeer and Ruprekha Banerjee stars, too has yet to announce a second season.

Do you think reality shows are one-season wonders? Have shows like Indian Idol failed to generate the kind of response they did in the first season? Share your views with us!

I thought FG second season will come from june?😭

FG had more masala, so may do good in the second season, but it needs entertainers like Rex and Qazi also..😃 And contestants like Arijit, Shamit etc..they added the special touches..

Has anyone seen EMET? It seems to be inspired from Fame Gurukul. Zee has started giving importance to performance also it seems.

Zee has realised after qazi's success that it is important to be a good performer too.
Anyone can be a good playback singer in this age of advanced technology and takes and retakes.after all how r we supposed to know that after how many retakes do these playbacksingers get their song perfect.But to perform on the stage and catch the attention of the audience is not everyone's forte.we have seen in so many realityshows like II-1,II-2,SRGMP and our very own FG that no one was able to attract the attention of the audience the way qazi did.So KUDOS to qazi 👏
