Of course, in a game show with all male artists, masculinity is the key to attracting the audience. But there are different types of masculinity, shallow and deep.
If you pay attention to the program Brother overcame thousands of obstacles (ATVNCG) will see, muscular artists who diligently keep in shape often have outstanding singing voices and performance. We can mention Phan Dinh Tung, Quoc Thien, Trong Hieu, Kay Tran or even MC Thanh Trung. It is not necessary to have muscles to sing well, sing strongly, but a moderate and disciplined lifestyle is one of the secrets to sustainable success in the singing profession.
Because famous singers often have to endure a tight work pace, without good health it will be difficult to meet the demand. In the framework of game shows, even though he sang along to a pre-recorded tape, some audiences still discovered limitations in Tang Phuc's performance. The reason was that he was sick. Tuan Hung said that when participating in game shows, working more than 12 hours a day is normal: "There are days when I finish filming and come back at 4am and I'm there again at 12pm (noon).
The voice shows the singer's health. Because of this connection, some talented guys show off their voices and also show off their abs, like Quoc Thien or Kay Tran... Of course, they also show off subtly, like Quoc Thien only lifted his shirt for a moment, while Kay wore a see-through shirt. In a playground where everyone is talented and famous, the 6-pack body is also used to create a difference.
Say Hi Brother (ATSH) goes even further. In the broadcast on the evening of July 6, the team of Hieuthuhai doing sexy dance moves with belts, wearing tank tops and dancing with poles, then going behind a backlit curtain to perform poses showing off the flexibility of the waist and back. At the end, the quartet all stripped naked behind the curtain, making the audience scream wildly. Of course, this striptease will be mentioned first, somewhat overshadowing the other performances.

Hieuthuhai's sexy brand seems to be more prominent than his own talent. Because whenever people see him, they only talk about his appearance. A highlight of ATSH number 4 is the exchange between MC Tran Thanh and a Thai male DJ. This audience member said he came to cheer Ali Hoang Duong, but he changed his mind after seeing Hieuthuhai...
Both game shows have the same target audience (just slightly different in age), similar in format but can see significant differences in the way they are staged. ATVNCG still ensures the reality TV element, ATSH tries to make it as dramatic as possible.
For example, the scene where rapper Negav and his team go to the gym together is purely an act. The show also has a butler played by Le Duong Bao Lam, who always shows an undisguised love for men. In general, ATSH is a mix of a music game show and rambling "comedy skits".
The stakes in ATSH are also much clearer (partly because the next round will have 6 people leave) compared to the other shows. Team leader Hieuthuhai, while choosing a member, will show it on his face if he doesn't like someone. Normally, the team leader will call for votes for the whole group, but team leader Negav used all the time to call for himself.
Masculinity and strength are shown in winning and losing, winning and losing, or in the spirit of mutual support while still playing hard? That is the choice of each program. Recently, Noo Phuoc Thinh shared that a game show invited him to participate with the requirement that he must be "rude" (roughly understood as speaking harshly and terribly).
But he felt he wasn’t “rude” enough so he refused. It can be seen that formats like ATSH require players to interact, communicate, in short, talk more than sing.
But both game shows show that masculinity is expressed through actions. For example, Beautiful lady riding the wind and making waves always spend a lot of time with the sisters talking. As for the men, they have to indirectly give each other gifts to have a reason to express their feelings.
Last season of the show “Beautiful Sister” after a while of development, there appeared at least one “fake” relationship between two players. The game shows “Big Brother, Talented Brother” up to now are still mostly fun.
