Given that Aries are competitive, athletic, and adventurous, this show will hit all the right notes for them—especially when it comes to seeing who gets eliminated.

CBSIt’s no secret that Tauruses love luxurious things. And with the prize selections on The Price is Right ranging anywhere from jewelry to a car to a European excursion, they’re sure to be interested.

Cancer: Family Feud

Libra:Wheel of Fortune
ABCLike Gemini, Libras need mental stimulation. They also love balance and harmony and don’t want to watch something super intense. Wheel of Fortune happens to tick all these boxes.

Scorpios are determined and keep things close to their chests. They’ll enjoy all the little secrets and gameplay moves that something as intense as Survivor has to offer.

Sagittarius: The Amazing Race
CBSIt’s not a shock that adventure-loving Sagittarius should watch The Amazing Race. In a show where teams travel all around the world, these fire signs can live vicariously through them while also learning new things.
“Sagittarius is a fiery mutable sign, which means that they’re spontaneous and do their best when they get to figure things out as they go,” says Smith. “They don’t want to overplan because they know that things change, and that’s exactly the kind of spirit it takes to win a game like The Amazing Race.”
Capricorn: The $ 100,000 Pyramid
ABCCapricorn has both the logic and the skill to excel at something like The $100,000 Pyramid. “Their ability to make rapid connections between topics gives them an edge in this word association game,” says Nguen.
As leaders who strive for success, Capricorns will always come up with the correct clues to bring their team to victory. They’d have fun watching, knowing they’d be one of the smartest people in the room.

Aquarius: Win Ben Stein's Money
ParamountAs a sign that doesn’t want to be like everyone else, Aquarius would probably watch something that’s not currently airing. And Winning Ben Stein’s Money is right in their wheelhouse.
Nguen describes these signs as quick-witted and says they could outsmart anyone while debating trivia, which fits the energy of the show. They have a lot of knowledge about various things and would be able to hold their own without a doubt.
Pisces: Name that Tune
