What’s the worst reality show you’ve ever seen? Let us know in the comments!

Holy shit. Them asking the guy to show his teeth was heartbreaking. And I’m not sure how Kid Nation didn’t earn an official spot on the list.

[dragona]

How did "Toddlers and tiaras" not make this list. Talk about exploitative and dangerous. All of those kid pageant shows were terrible, but that one was by far the worst. How about 19 Kids and Counting
, or pretty much ANY of the TLC "reality" shows?
You probably should do a part 2 or a top 20 of this topic.

1. Next is a national treasure
2. That lie detector show sounds interesting
3. That hot or not clip at the end almost made me wanna cry that was effed up you could see his soul snap and they just kept hacking away at it

"Mike Tyson tried competitive pigeon racing" is a sentence I never thought I'd hear before

[schindlerteejay]

As a brit, Love Island would’ve been No.1 for numerous reasons, not just because it’s overrated, multiple took their lives because of the show, it caused a lot of mental health issues, thousands of tourists flocked to majorca because of the show, and there was a actual lottery scratch card based on the show. (It’s also now ‘illegal’ in Majorca for Brits to wear football tops and swim shorts at resorts because of drunken tourism.)

[madman]

I can't believe that Keeping Up With The Kardashians isn't No.1! By far the worst show I have ever watched in my entire life!

[teeemm]

I remember watching a few episodes of “the swan” when I was like 11. Even as a kid I thought that show was disgusting and sad

[Dragonblack]

You posted this vid like 5 times already! Each one just has a slightly different title lol

[jamesmendonca]

It is safe to say that all these reality shows on this list fucks with your self-esteem in a real bad way.

[glbernini]

Amazed that The Biggest Looser wasn't on the list! Show had some of the worst training methods ever shown. People got kicked off the show for "ONLY" loosing 8-10lbs in a week...Healthy people should be happy to loose that in a month or more!

This is long, fair warning.

As a person who was also adopted at birth, "Who's Your Daddy?" _disgusted_ me at the time the controversy was happening. Shit like that show is part of the many reasons why adoption and BEING adopted is so stigmatized and tropey and it's just flat out gross. Being adopted isn't just a fucking soap opera or Lifetime movie plot.

Not every adopted person has a bones-deep yearning to know ✨WhO tHiEr _REAL_ pArEnTs ArE✨ because the whole concept is guff and a slap in the face to the people who loved and raised them. THOSE are your _"REAL"_ parents. The people you came from are your _BIOLOGICAL_ parents, and that's a _very_ important distinction. Your family is in your heart, not your genes, so it's okay if your family doesn't always align with your genes.

Of course there can be reasons someone would want to know who their biological parents were — particularly if their adoptive family treated them badly or any other number of reasons since nobody's experience is universal — but it's not an across the board thing by any means. It's not some TRAGIC SECRET for every adopted person, either, if their adoptive parents handle it correctly.

Sorry for the novela of a comment; it's just adoption and how it's portrayed in the media/entertainment is one of my passion project issues that I try to educate people about whenever I can because, again, it's so stigmatized and honestly also a pet peeve for me.😅

Can some adopted people have that Lifetime movie yearning to know ✨the truth?✨ Yes. But it's not the baseline norm by any means.

I can't believe NEXT made honorable mention. That show was TV gold back in the day!

*FAKELITY* is a more fitting name for this type of TV genre.

[MrGeekFreek]

The Littlest Groom from 2004 on Fox.
A midget guy has to choose between 5 midget girls and 5 regular sized girls to be his bride.
Spoiler: He chose a regular-sized girl at the end.

There should be a list of MTV reality shows for worse

[OakCliffHuxtable]

How about all reality shows are "worst"...
