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.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
