The fascination of women with gold needs no re-iteration. It’s been the same ever since the mankind discovered this precious yellow metal. The same continues even to this day. That the demand for the yellow metal has not decreased despite the ever rising costs is testimony to this very fact. Capitalizing on this fascination and converting it into a game-show exclusively for women is –
GOLD RUSH.
The USP for the show is that winning and owning gold is extremely simple. It’s the women who can decide how much they want to win and go for it. The mechanism of participating and winning is made extremely innovative and full of fun, thus making it an engrossing television show.
Until now women had to watch only sob stories in the guise of serials. Now they have another option. They no longer have to be just the audience. They can be seen on screen and win loads of gold in the process.
GOLD RUSH as a television show format has been developed around providing thirty minutes of pure entertainment to the television audience. Everyone in the studio audience has an equal chance of being able to win gold – totaling upto 100 grams. The challenge of winning 100 grams of gold is spread over five different segments or rounds. This will be the same for everyone. Every one is equal and every one stands an equal chance of winning 100 grams of gold.
Out of the 20 women who have been selected and invited to be the studio audience, the anchor picks up the name of one woman who will join her on stage and in the golden seat.

This could be a roll of dice after selection of the exact number; the exact colour of a card or some such activity. She will have three attempts at getting it right.
