User:JirKol/We Love Czechia

We Love Czechia is Czech quiz show by TV Prima, first introduced on April 7th, 2013. The show was created by Dutchman John de Mol in 2008, who is behind very successful TV shows all around the world, such as Big Brother, The Voice of Czecho-Slovakia etc. The show consists of two teams composed of Czech celebrities under the leadership of two set captains. The teams are then tested in their knowledge of Czech Republic. The show is taken from Dutch original I Love My Country.

This format of a show was first used by TV Nova in 2008 under the name I love Česko.

The celebrities are divided into two teams of 4 (including the captain). Each team has its own colour - either red or white. For each episode, the celebrities on each team change, excluding the captains, as they stay the same for the whole season.^[1]

The goal of the game is to get the most points for your team in different disciplines. Participants must search their knowledge of history, geography, culture, sport, film and music industry and overall facts and information about Czech Republic. They have to recognize Czech film and music samples, decipher names of other Czech celebrities, draw on the see-through whiteboard, place geographical markers on the blind map of Czech Republic and other. The last discipline is guessing three statistic facts about Czechia, where one team guesses a number and the other says higher or lower. The points from the last discipline are decide by fortune wheel. The wheel can give them more point than they were able to accumulate to that point or reset their score to 0, which can turn the game upside down. Main prize for the winning team is usually some kind of typical Czech thing or food and from the ninth series even a We Love Czechia board game.

Original show I Love My Country by Dutch production company Talpa was already aired in more than 25 countries all around the world. First localized adaptation was in United Kingdom, then in Italy, Poland, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, China. After these countries, the show appeared in Czech Republic and practically at the same time at Slovakia (under the name Milujem Slovensko).
