2Amazing Race

The Amazing Race is one of those shows you'll never get tired or bored watching. We all enjoy seeing different cultures, seeing different environment. This show proves we don't need those silly dramas in a show. TAR is a clean show yet full of adrenaline.

I have been watching this since Season 5. We all enjoy seeing different places, different cultures. Sometimes, we even get to see some activities or attractions which we may never hav chances to visit. We never knew about that either. It's always amazed me.

3American Idol

This is the true singing competition where people can become stars. Not just a show, but part of the American culture.

The coolest in music talent discovery

4Big Brother

Big brother is an amazing show its great 13 amazing seasons hope there is more seasons I'm surprised its not in the top

"Survivor" for people who don't enjoy filth and starving.

Well I voted Big Brother because its great! Its amazing and its really interesting you just wanna know what happens it must be at least 2nd place

6Jersey Shore

Snooki Rocks! I love Meatball team, they just are so funny!
Just watch the show and you'll see how naturally funny Snooki and Deena are

My wife and I are in our 50's and watch these kids every episode. We just want to be entertained and forget the sad state of affairs our economy is in for just an hour. Jersey Shore does that for us. We also watch MSNBC to keep informed of the sad state affairs our economy is in and world events. We don't judge T.V. programs... We just watch the shows that we enjoy. Jersey Shore # 1 for laughs - MCB

Funny as heck and the fights, make-ups, and the general life of a Guido. ! 11its so amazing

7Real World

The original reality show

8So You Think You Can Dance?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! this show is completely amazing and definitely beat out AMERICAN IDOL even though the two shows are by the same ppl and were SUPPOSED to be equals just of different topics!! if u have never watched this show you have to check it out!!!

This show takes you through the journey of a group of people who share the same passion- dance. Every week, beautiful, inspiring, empowering routines are danced. This show deserves to be recognized for it's art. SYTYCD allows people to grow, not only as dancers, but as people.

I know very little about dancing, so I only watch the audition episodes (for the people who make fools of themselves), once they've chosen their dancers, I usually stop watching.

Krumeater

9Fear Factor
10Britney and Kevin

britney is so hot, and even though the show was cancelled and britney and kevin are now divorced, it's still a great show to watch and look at how britney was during the good old days before she shaved her head and attacked a car with an umbrella.

The Contenders

11Chris Angel Mindfreak

Dude, this guy is so freakin cool

12Dancing With The Stars

The very best real - reality show!

13Wife Swap

Put two opposite women with different family = entertainment

Razor79

One of the most interesting shows I ever seen and the families are and chemistry with eachother are off the charts, great show. Not really a fan of reality shows but this is one of the couple I seem to like. Watch it, when there is nothing to do.

Undertaker15-0

14The Hills
15The Contender

The contender shows the lives of boxers and their struggles to get to the top. They don't pick up a script. This is real. Watch how the best becomes the king of the sport.

16Dog: The Bounty Hunter

One of these days, Mrs. Dawg is gonaa BUST out all over and smother anyone within six feet!

17Project Runway

It the best reality ever, there should be more episodes, and not as much time in a year without them. Every episode is very entertaining and interesting.

This is simply the best show I've ever seen!

18Temptation Island

What an idea put 4 happy yeah right couples on an island of some of the hottest people and see if they cheat. They should bring this one back.

19Runway
20The Bad Girls Club

So much drama makes for great T.V.! Hysterical and wildly entertaining! I watch every season.

best tv show ever! I love it with all the drama! they should make a lot of them just like that!
I am watching them from Europe!
thumbs up for Bad Girls Club

7 bad girls in 1 house=drama=GREAT TV

21The Osbournes
22The Mole

+1The best and most intelligent reality show on television!

tarot_contralto

Brilliant! I wish they would bring it back. My wife and I have watched all of the US episodes and have viewed a fair amount of those from the UK and AUS. By far our favorite is the American version which is surprising be/c we really don't like much that comes out of the U.S. Humm...

23Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

This show is so sweet. I cry every week.

24Hells Kitchen

-1Umm Gordon Ramsey is RIDICULOUS! This show is so intense! Even if you don't like cooking shows, the drama and craziness of this one, is something NOT to miss!

25The Girls Next Door
26The Bachelor

It's the best show ever! I stay interested until the last episode and I simplys love it!

27The Ultimate Fighter
28Total Drama Island

Total Drama Island is FABULOUS! My favourite is Lindsay
My top 5
5 Duncan
$ Justin
3 Courtney
2 Gwen
1 Lindsay

BEST reality parody ever. What better way to skewer the genre than with animation? Another great animated parody is Drawn Together but that show didn't stick to the strict elimation format.

29Dog Eat Dog
30I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here
31America's Got Talent

Should be higher than american idol... Anybody of any age, any talent can audition so its much more versatile

32The Surreal Life
33Flavor of Love

Flava Flav is like a real life cartoon!!

34Gene Simmons Family Jewels

This show is very good and interesting. Sure Gene Simmons on it is a little strange (but you can not see his love for his kids and family), and the rest of the family is def. funny and down-to-earth. Also... it's very hard to find these days a celebrity family on tv that isn't all parties, the kids going out and getting in trouble... they seem to all really love each other and care about each other and actually enjoy being around and spending their time with each other.

35Bad Girls Club
36Spy

A group of everyday civilians volunteered to undergo a short version of the same espionage training real spies are given, from real experts. Then, they were sent on assignments, to test their skills.

Now, *that* was some of the most interesting "reality" programming, ever.

37Rob and Big

rob dyrdek has lots of money and lots of free time and very little regard for his personal health

38Cheaters

The only real reality show.

39Paris Hilton's My New BFF
40Celebrity Apprentice

Babysally

45Parental Control
46Dance Moms

This show is the bomb-diggity! I love the way the parents react to the dance teacher... Hysterical! This should be #1 for sure! I dance moms! It's amazing. And everyone will enjoy it!
