TOP 5 MOST HATED REALITY TV SHOWS

Overview: As a follow up to last week’s favorite reality shows list, it’s time to document those that we loathe the most. Since Reality TV is so exceptionally inexpensive to create and produce, networks will leave appallingly bad shows on the tube as long as relatively small numbers of people are watching them, so there is plenty of bad horrible reality TV to choose from.

Criteria: Any show that falls under a reality heading can be considered. This includes the “follow celebrities around,” shows, along with documentary type reality TV readily found on the Discovery channel, game shows like “The Bachelor,” and the more traditional definition which provides a supposed look at actual real peoples’ lives like “Nanny 911,” and the like.

Rob's Notes:There is nothing on Earth I hate more than dishonesty. I don’t care if you are a mean person, a bad person, a swindler, a crook, or anything in between, just as long as you are truthful about it. Nothing in show business is more dishonest than “reality tv” which is filled with scripts, re-takes, do-overs and staged events. Last week, I chose my favorite shows based on their level of reality (COPS being clearly 100% real) and how much of real life they actually portrayed (Super Nanny is staged and filled with do-overs, but does highlight the truthful nature of how awful kids are, for example). This week, my most hated shows are the most staged and dishonest.

Arnie's Notes: Look here Dog, you SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Along with your kids and millions and millions of people in and out of this country I HATE YOU and YOUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Your wife is not sexy and your kids or you are not tough, keep smoking maybe one of your lungs will pop out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rob's Top 5 -

Arnie's Top 5 -

5. Extreme Makeover Home Edition (encourages a welfare state)

4. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (perpetuates stereotypes)

3. Survivor (please…in this day and age of litigation no mutli-billion dollar network is honestly going to allow people to their own devices to force them to actually “survive” on an island.)

2. Punk’d. (Total joke. In a city where peoples’ careers are ended by looking at certain stars the wrong way, this is all clearly a set-up)

1. The Real World. (From the beginning MTV has been obnoxious about decrying how “real” this show is. It isn’t and never has been. It’s rigged, fixed, staged, scripted and everything in between. The next time MTV wants to keep a secret, they shouldn’t film at our Seattle radio station and give up all of their secrets).

HONORABLE MENTION - The Biggest Loser
