Reality TV Shows.. Take them or leave them ..
Either way for most viewers they simply offer a getaway from for the mind..  After all most shows of this type .. a viewer can easily watch and if they enjoy the show they can add it to their regular viewing list.. and if they don't they can either turn the channel or simply use the show to pass the time..

1.  America's Next Top Model 2003 - present .. model competition created by Tyra Banks.. simple enough this show revolves around girls from literally all walks of life in a competition for an opportunity to get a model contract.. that in itself means so much.. it can catapult their careers..

2. Catfish The TV Show 2012 - present MTV .. a reality TV show on the truths and lies of online dating.. The series is based on the 2010 film Catfish and is co-hosted by Nev Schulman and Max Joseph.. Nev was actually catfished himself..when he met someone online and after carrying on an online relationship he actually discovered she had not been honest in describing herself..

The word Catfish when it comes to online dating is a person that creates a fake personal profile on social media, dating sites, etc.. and pretends to be someone other than themselves.. I, myself have been catfished on the Internet.. and not only can a catfish be someone that takes advantage of you but it can also be dangerous.. after all you maybe relaying your life honestly but a catfish can be anyone.. a predator, a con-man, a killer.. you really have no idea.. and I have come to the conclusion while you possibly might meet a nice guy.. it is just as likely that you could meet someone who is not there for the right reasons..  I know because I have meet more than one catfish online.. and only by the grace of god, I can honestly say am I still here..

3. Queer Eye 2018-present Netflix .. is a series and a reboot of the Bravo series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy .. it features a new Fab Five (Antoni Porowski food and wine, Tan France fashion expert, Karamo Brown culture, Bobby Berk design and Jonathon Van Ness grooming) ..In the show, the Fab Five transforms the lives of people including their homes, appearance and at times even outlooks about themselves.. I truly loved the original series and this show is no different.. truly enjoyable and touching to watch ..the good they do to help people everywhere..

The original series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was on Bravo 2003-2007 and featured Ted Allen food and wine, Kyan Douglas grooming, Thom Filicia design, Carson Kressley fashion, Jai Rodriguez culture.. if you can find it anywhere you should try and watch the original as well..

4. Sister Wives 2010- present TLC .. is a series based on the life of a polygamist family.. The Browns which consist of Kody Brown and his four wives (Meri, Janelle, Christine and Robyn) and 18 children.. In the beginning The Browns were living in Lehi Utah but moved to Las Vegas Nevada in 2011.. and in 2018 to Baderville, Arizona... The show is very insightful, enjoyable and at times funny.. because it does give a glimpse into this alternative lifestyle, yet a lifestyle features normal issues that anyone can have.. no matter what kind of relationship they might be in.. I love watching it..  and even though there are other shows of this type..  Sister Wives is my favorite..

Below are two other polygamist family series..

My Five Wives 2013-2014 TLC was a series based on Brady Williams and his 5 wives (Paulie, Robyn, Rosemary, Nonie and Rhonda) and 25 kids..

Seeking Sister Wife premiered in 2018 TLC  is a new series based on the lives of several families that have decided to live as polygamists.. However from what I have seen these families are just starting their polygamist lifestyles.. and could really benefit with some mentoring.. The show definitely brings to light the pitfalls of choosing to live this lifestyle..

5. Chopped 2009-present Food Network ..is a cooking game show series which is hosted by Ted Allen.. In each show four chefs are pitted against each other in hopes to win 10,000 and than they also feature tournament battles..  Love the basket surprises and the creativity..

6. Top Chef 2006-present Bravo is a competition cooking series that features chefs in competition against one another through various challenges.. Judged through the years by a panel of many professional chefs and others in the food industry .. Two of the most notable however are Padma Lakshmi and Tom Colicchio.. The series has spawned multiple spin-off shows.. including Top Chef Masters, Top Chef Juniors.. along with many international versions of the show..

7.  Bar Rescue 2011-present .. is a reality series starring Jon Taffer a food and beverage industry consultant for nightclubs and bars.. In the show .. he goes into failing bars and pubs and offers his expertise along with renovations in order to save them..  I enjoy this show because sometimes he meets with owners that are completely clueless and resistant..

8.  The Masked Singer premiered in 2019 Fox  is a competition singing series hosted by Nick Cannon .. The show is based on the South Korean hit show King of Mask Singer..  The series features celebrities singing in head to toe costumes meant to hide their identities (ie. Monster, Unicorn).. at the end of the show one is voted to reveal their identity..

I have to admit at first I was terribly upset that after numerous competition and game shows..  this is what the powers that be had decided to offer viewers as a new show.. feeling that they had reached an all time low .. but after researching more on the origin ..and after watching it.. I can understand why the show is a hit..   After all its a guessing game on who is behind the mask from what I have seen they can be anyone from a sports to TV celebrity that we wouldn't think of as a singer .. and for the celebrity it gives them a chance to show a talent that they may have never displayed before..

9. House Hunters 1999-present HGTV is a reality show based on individuals and families reviewing three potential real estate properties with an agent.  Ultimately choosing one property by the end of the episode and than the show checks back in with them to see how their lives and property is working for them.. I love the show and enjoy watching how they decide on the property that they choose..

House Hunters International 2006-present HGTV is a reality show and a spin-off of House Hunters.. the shows follows the same format in that people are given three choices of property.. where at the end they choose one property ..  The only difference is House Hunters International shows people moving from one country to another country.. I probably watch this version of House Hunters the most because I like seeing what the buying property market is like in other countries..

I would like to also add that there are many more versions of House Hunters including House Hunters on Vacation, House Hunters Million Dollar Homes and House Hunters Renovation just to name a few..

10. The World's Best premiered in 2019 CBS  and is a reality talent competition hosted by James Corden..  The show features a variety of international performers being evaluated by three judges Drew Barrymore, Faith Hill, and RuPaul.. along with 50 international experts in various entertainment fields..  The show is very enjoyable but I do think it is kinda like another version of America's Got Talent .. and I love AGT..  The jury is still out on this show.. a lot depends on the ratings
