The family game show’s second episode registered a 21.9% market share in the 18-44 demo, beating the channel’s time slot average by 208%.
The marble racing show Marble Mania has managed to retain its popularity last week after its successful launch the week before. The second episode of Talpa’s fun family show again scored impressive numbers.
With a 21,9% market share in the 18-44 target group and a 21,1% in the 25-59 target group it beat the channel’s time slot average with respectively 208% and 154%, making Marble Mania the biggest hit on SBS6 in 5 years.
The show has already been commissioned by RTL Germany for airing this spring.
On each self-contained episode of this marble spectacle, three celebrities take each other on. Each celebrity gets to play with their own color marbles. Each round starts with a skill assignment, such as bowling, mini golf or a special version of penalty shooting. The three celebrities need to prove their skills in order to win the most marbles to start the second game of the round: the game of luck. This marble race is all about speed, gravity…. and luck. The celebrity whose marble crosses the finish line first, earns the most points.
After three rounds, the celebrity at the top of the ranking will get the most marbles to start in the finale, in which the celebrities can win money for a charity of their choice. The finale is the most impressive and nerve-wrecking round of them all, with no less than 6000 marbles racing down the track.
After 3 days of playback, the market share grew to 26,7% in 18-44 and 24,4% in 25-59, attracting almost 1,8 million viewers in total.
Marble Mania is produced by Talpa Entertainment Productions and distributed by Talpa Concepts.
