5 Forgotten Reality Shows That Shaped TV Today, Ranked
MTV

In today's modern society, we have an unusual sensation called the Kardashians. Nobody is quite sure what the sensation is about them, but it seems as if they are here to stay. Today, we are going to break down the top reality TV shows of all time.

5. "Rob and Big"

"Rob and Big" premiered in 2006 and was an instant hit among the MTV audience. Rob is a professional skateboarder, and Big Black is his bodyguard. They move in together and go through the next two years making business moves, harassing Rob's cousin, Drama, and adopting puppies. This show is good for anyone looking for a family-friendly environment.

4. "Britney and Kevin Chaotic"

Britney Spears in 2004 was a wild pop star. From her first marriage with childhood friend Jason Alexander to her infamous video for "Toxic", winning her first marriage to her last, and her most recent marriage to Kevin Federline. This show chronicled her on her Onyx Hotel tour, where she brought Kevin along and showed the moment that leads up to their marriage and first child.

3. "Newlyweds: Nick and Jess"

This show was personally going to be my number one show on this list due to Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's romance, but it didn't quite make it. "Newlyweds" followed this couple after their marriage in 2002 and helped boost Jessica's album sales. This show is infamous due to Jessica asking if the Chicken of the Sea tuna, is indeed tuna or chicken.

2. "The Challenge"

If you aren't familiar with Johnny Bananas, Cara Maria, or the infamous CT, then you are not a viewer and should catch up as soon as possible. "The Challenge", starting back in the year 2000, is now running on its 32nd season, excluding spin-offs ("Spring Break Challenge", "Challenge Vs. Stars"). This show is all about being athletic and being able to play politics. If you don't have a strong mental game while being able to climb up mountains and eat cow brains, then this show isn't for you.

1. "The Real World"

This show has made number one for obvious reasons. It has been on the air since 1994 and has been the most influential reality show to ever air. It's the first reality show to air a homosexual relationship, dealing with gender issues, racism, and much more. This show still airs today and isn't slowing down anytime soon.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
