“ HEADS & TAILS ” WORK OR FUN ?
The show storyline is always the same , but it is always unexpectedly marvelous and fun . One city and two anchormen with the lot deciding , who is going live on one hundred dollars , and who is going to use a golden bank card during their trip .
Heads or tails — and you are a millionaire or a pauper . You live in luxury apartments or spend the night in an ordinary hostel . Dine in an exclusive restaurant or subsist on humble fast food .
Unfortunately for the one and for the good of the other hero of the show , the gold credit card does not mean a guarantee of an unforgettable vacation , as the practice shows that sometimes a hundred dollars is quite enough and even more than enough for you to have unforgettable impressions from the trip that will stay in your memory forever .
The course of every show always depends on the coin toss : heads or tails . We asked Nikita the question which interests our audience in the first place : “ Indeed , is it really true that one person has no spending limit and uses the gold credit card during the trip and the other one has to get along with just 100 $ for everything ?”
Nikita Chizhov Financial Director of “ Heads & Tails ”
“ According to the rules , there are two anchors in the show and one of them has to get along only with a 100 $ per two days : from the Saturday morning till the Sunday evening , but sometimes some anchors are trying to cheat the rules . They are contriving to eat some unaccounted hamburger or to use a taxy instead of a bus , but , frankly speaking , no more than this . Concerning the credit card , it is really unlimited as it is the reason of our show . However , for purchases over 10,000 $ it is necessary to have the permission of the producer from Kyiv . Frankly speaking , the possibility to spend money is very limited indeed . They can spend it on some service or entertainment , but in accordance to the inner rules of the show , it is strictly forbidden to buy any valuable goods : stocks , financial instruments , real estate , cars and jewelry – everything that could be converted into money at any time . There are also some restrictions concerning charity and gambling , but generally there are almost no limits to anything related to the traveling .
The aim we are trying to reach is to show that traveling can actually be available for everyone . The show stimulates people to travel and gives them really useful advice as well . The television is able to transmit only the third part of the perception , that`s why we can confirm that it is possible and not very complicated indeed to get along and to see the world as it is in any city all over the world . Moreover , all members of the team : operators , scriptwriters , directors and even anchors admit that it is possible to have much brighter impressions if you travel on a modest budget . Luxury traveling is more comfortable but less interesting as all 5 stars hotels , best ever cars , yachts and helicopters are the same everywhere , no matter where you are , everything is very similar . Anyway , ordinary people like to pry into the life of the rich and they have such opportunity due to our show .”
Today , after a lot of challenges which they have met during the creation of the travel-show , Nikita Chizhov shares their secret with us .
— The main reason of their success is obviously the persistence of all team members whatever happened to do this the second one is a unique format of the show which combines humor and useful insider information for travelers highlighted from all angels . There was an attempt to create something similar in Turkey , but the results were primitive , frankly speaking . They wanted to steal the idea , but they did not actually know how to create this kind of show format . I should say that , nevertheless , it is not as easy as it seems . But still , it is possible for any media production and for any region of the world , and TeenSpirit is even ready to share its secrets with those who want to repeat our trick . We are ready to couch media companies to create something similar using their sources .
