Maryam Tillaeva, the granddaughter of Uzbekistan's first president Islam Karimov and a well-known blogger, is participating in a new reality show on Russia's TNT channel. This was reported by Upl.uz.
The channel's press service announced this. The project titled "Game Master" started in 2025 and has gained the attention of viewers.
The TNT channel was officially removed from the air in Uzbekistan in 2011 due to programs that did not meet moral standards. According to the show's rules, 22 participants will be sent to a luxurious villa in Morocco.
There, they will undergo various tests based on psychological games. Participants need to earn money for a total prize fund, but at the end of each episode, one participant will be eliminated as a result of votes from others.
The show format requires participants not only to build strategies but also to understand people and anticipate their actions. Maryam Tillaeva stated that she is gaining new experiences as a participant in the project.
She said: "I have usually learned to defend my ideas, but here everything is different. In 'Game Master,' you compete with other participants.
Someone can support you in one moment, and in the next moment, they may vote against you. This is a game where psychology, intuition, and self-reliance are important." The reality show is hosted by Russian actor Yury Kolokolnikov.
Additionally, there is a "joker" role in the project, which can change the course of the game with an unexpected participant. This role is played by singer and showman Filipp Kirkorov.
His participation will generate additional interest in the project, as the "joker" can influence the participants' strategies and the results of the tests. Maryam Tillaeva, who grew up in Uzbekistan, notes that the TNT channel has not been broadcast there for a long time.
The decision to remove it from the air was made in 2011 because the programs aired on the channel did not comply with local regulations. Nevertheless, there is a high demand for such reality shows in other countries, and the participation of a well-known blogger related to Uzbekistan may attract the attention of an international audience.
Reality shows like "Game Master" on the TNT channel are often filmed in exotic locations, which adds to the visual appeal of the project. Morocco has been chosen as the location for this show, having previously hosted popular international projects like "Survivor" and "Big Brother."
