Right. Current gameshows that any nobody can apply to:
The Chase - ridiculously difficult questions, up against 1 of 3 clever people, who has to answer about 20 questions in 2 minutes to leave you walking away with nothing.
Deal or No Deal - chance. No actual rewarding merit.
Eggheads - you're against 5/7 incredibly clever people.
Million Pound Drop - pretty dodgy questions + pressure ensure you're never left with more than £50K by the end.

The only one that's relatively straightforward that I know of is The Weakest Link.

Every single other straightforward gameshow has been changed to only allow on celebrities playing for charity (Family Fortunes, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?). Whilst this is all lovely - it's also pretty horrible for us commonfolk. I want to win £10k by knowing a few catchphrases or filling in some vowels

[Shaun]

oh and I ignored the ones where you have to humiliate yourself. (100 Ways to Leave A Gameshow; The Cube)

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

goldenballs was amazing but the premise of the show was kinda wrong : L

no questions or anything you just had to backstab

was epic though cant believe it was axed

[InOne]

Yeah, not good for Gameshows at the moment, it's boring watching Z list celebs all the time. Family Fortunes is worst for it

[Novo]

Should bring back the Price is Right

Come on down!

Big Break, The Generation Game, Catchphrase, Wheel of Fortune, Supermarket Sweep

I've been watching them on Challenge recently, loved them so much

Million Pound Drop is the only gameshow that's really grabbed me recently, though I was getting in to Goldenballs at the end of its life

It's a shame Gladiators flopped second time round

And the Crystal Maze

I don't mind some of the gameshows on now. Million Pound Drop always has me hooked.

Oh.. please bring back FORT BOYARD too!

The woman won on the chaser tonight, all by herself

[Braden]

I remember I watched Supermarket Sweep at 2 in the morning...I was loving it

[Shaun]

lmao I saw that, lucky cow. I've seen that chaser on 'Only Connect' a few times.

[Smithy]

They won again :L

Someone won 26p on Deal or No Deal today. They still beat the banker because they had 10p in their box

I would of loved to of went on it, it's just a shame you need to be like buff as ******.

[Beastie]

I loved Gladiators. It was better in the days when Ulrika Johnson hosted it too. It needs to come back.

Remember Wolf man?? LOL epic!

[MTVN]

The Gladiators were sh*t in the new version though
