This should be interesting:

Given his track record with reality shows, I expect we'll see more of them from Fremantle while it's under his watch. But shows like Storage Wars give me hope for a seeing a competitive element in some new shows he helps develop. I wonder if we'll see effects of this choice in the game show world.

Fremantle already has a large stable of shows other than game shows around the world, so this shouldn't come as any kind of surprise.

Best wishes to him and high hopes for no version of 1,000 Ways To Die: The Game Show. :-)
