Okay, so maybe half of these are old MTV shows that you weren't supposed to be watching when you were eight, and maybe they're all considered trash TV, but can you blame me for not being able to look away from the screen? What other TV shows can you watch someone is flipping a table or losing a diamond earring somewhere in the Caribbean? Nowhere.
1. The Real Housewives of every city everywhere
Orange County, Atlanta, New Jersey, Beverly Hills, New York City, Dallas, and Potomac. Is it too much? No, it isn't. These women will forever be quality entertainment.
2. Americas Next Top Model
Just makes me want to smize and want to stomp it out on the runway. Also makes me want to watch clips of Tyra freaking out.
3. Bridalplasty
If you don't know what this is, find it immediately if you'd like to watch a competition between engaged women who are fighting for a dream wedding and a list of plastic surgeries that they want to get, while competing in challenges that will make you laugh until you can't see your TV through the tears. However you will get emotionally involved. Guaranteed.
4. The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor(ette) in Paradise
Kind of hate it, kind of want to put my name in to be on it and go for Chris Harrison instead since he's on the market.
5. Keeping up with the Kardashians
One cannot simply hate the Kardashians and think that they aren't fabulous, since they are. With that being said I can definitely think of times where they've made me shudder, like when little Kylie and Kendall had access to a stripper pole. God that's good television.
6. Pretty Little Liars
Do I care who A is or am I watching it for the horrible acting and the beautiful men?
7. Next
If you don't remember the show, it's basically speed dating but instead of there being a fixed amount of time that you get to meet someone, somebody gets to just scream, "NEXT!" when they decide they don't want to date you. Harsh, but hilarious.
8. Jersey Shore
"GTL. Gym, tanning, laundry."
*Snooki gets punched in the face*
"You know what Ronnie? I'm OVER IT!"
Gold. All of it is gold.
9. 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom
At what point did MTV think "yes, yes this is a great idea." I'd like to go back there and slap them but also thank them for this beautiful gift to the world
10. Say Yes to the Dress
The moral of the story is that when you go with someone to pick out a wedding dress and Kleinfeld, keep your opinions to yourself unless you want to seem bitchy on national television.
11. My Super Sweet Sixteen
TV: "Mom this wasn't the Mercedes I wanted! Worst birthday EVER!"
Me: *continues eating microwaved ramen with a spoon because my last plastic fork just broke*
12. Parental Control
Basically the most amazing older MTV show where parents hate their child's boyfriend or girlfriend, and pick out people that they'd like them to go out on a date with, which their current boyfriend or girlfriend gets to see, and then they all get to talk about it together, in a room. It's amazing, but it also makes you want to take a shower. Or four.
