I think you are right. I enjoy a few quiz programs, but it has amazed me what some of the contestants don't know.
Often on the British version of Tipping Point the answer is in the question, but many of these dumbed down contestants can't even work it out. The contestants on the British version of The Chase aren't much better, while those on the Australian version are so woeful I have stopped watching it.
However on one other quiz show, the US version of Jeopardy, it has amazed me how smart the contestants are. This program goes against the trend. I've developed a new respect for the US people.
