Top 10 Reality TV Shows

As a pretty avid reality TV watcher, I thought that it would be interesting to find out what people thought to be the best Reality TV Shows.
At number 10, we have America’s Next Top Model. I talked a little about this particular show in one of my blogs a few weeks ago. We from ND, have had two winners for the area, so I can personally say that I am a fan of this particular show.
Number 9 brings Dancing with the Stars up to the plate. This show airs on ABC and is currently on its 8th season. Although I have not followed this show religiously, I stilled enjoyed watching it whenever I happened to come across it while flipping through the channels. The show pairs celebrities with professional ballroom dancers who each week compete by performing dances, which are scored by a panel of judges.
In the 8th spot of our top ten we have, Hell’s Kitchen. This is one show that I can honestly say that I never really got interested in. However, it is currently on its 5th season. In each episode teams are responsible for preparing food to Chef Gordon Ramsay's very demanding taste and appearance requirements as well as within a limited time frame. In each team or individual challenge; the winning chef or player may get a reward, while the losing team or players are required to perform some kitchen duty in preparation for the dinner service. During dinner service,
At number 7 on our list we have the Ultimate Fighter. This is another show that I can say that I have never seen. This show is currently on its 8th season on SPIKE TV. On this show, professional MMA fighters that need to make a big name for themselves are situated in a house outside of Las Vegas, Navada and compete against each other for the title of The Ultimate Fighter. The winnings are a six-figure, multi-fight contract with the UFC.
In the 6th spot of the top ten we have the universally known American Idol. I have also talked about this show in a previous blog.
At number 5 we have MTV’s Real World.
In the 4th spot of the top 10 we have the show Big Brother, which airs on CBS. In this show a group of people live together in the Big Brother House, where they are isolated from the outside world but continuously watched by television cameras. Each season lasts for about three months, and there are usually fewer than 16 participants competing for the cash prize at the end.
In the 3rd spot, So You Think You Can Dance. This show is somewhat of a sister to the hit show American Idol, however instead of singing the judges are looking for America’s Best Dancers.
In 2nd place we have Survivor
In the top spot of the top ten Reality TV Shows, we have the Amazing Race.
I can say that I have seen a number of these reality shows, and can agree with their top spots ranking. But, I can’t help but wonder what’s to change in the future for these rankings, as reality TV appears to be on an upward spiral.

  1. I must agree with you, everything we see on TV now days is about reality. I must say that almost everything on MTV is Reality TV, heck they are doing a show on Just college kids going to school their freshman year. Where have the westerns gone, the Sci-fi. Is our world slowly turning into gameshow's and weight watchers?
