The Worst Reality Shows Ever

Five shows that never should've seen the light of day.

Though most of these shows are or were confined to just a few episodes, they should've been confined to an airtight chamber for all of eternity instead.



A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila

We're not quite sure how, but this show has managed to score huge ratings. Perhaps it's the high-octane drama that seems over-the-top even by MTV's standards, or maybe it's just the fact that we're still trying to figure out why exactly Tila Tequila has her own show.



House of Carters

A typical episode of the House of Carters went a little something like this: Aaron throws a massive temper tantrum, older brother Nick tries to set him straight, screaming ensues, and somebody cries for no reason. Reality television at its best.



Mission: Man Band

Sort of like a Supergroup for those who don't appreciate Sebastian Bach, Man Band threw four second-string members of late 90's groups LFO, N'Sync, 98 Degrees, and Color Me Badd in a house together and let nature take its course.



The Pick-Up Artist

A group of desperate, socially inept guys under the tutelage of a man who calls himself Mystery were taught the basics of talking to women. Those who weren't suave enough with their pick-up lines got cut, but they also spared themselves having to hanging out with a man who accessorizes with goggles.



Tommy Lee Goes to College

This show answered the age-old question of whether or not Tommy Lee was good for anything besides drumming and receiving bad tattoos. And just in case you were lucky enough to have missed this show, the answer was a resounding "no."

i've heard of all of the shows
except mission:man band
i guess it was a pretty bad show

I love A Shot At Love...probably one of the many few that do.
As for the other ones. I've only heard of House of Carters (and
duh...Shot at Love). I always thought House of Carters was stupid.
Yeah, because bisexuality/homosexuality should NEVER EVER EVER be
portrayed on television, because my god, someone could see it! I
know that I watched Queer Eye For the Straight Guy once, and now
I'm a gay man. Thank you, Bravo, for ruining my life.
Ok, so I've seen this Tila Tequila, who in the heck is Tila
Tequila woman? I just don't get what the big deal is?!
That Shot of Love with Tequila is like *always* on, its so
annoying. Same with the Pick-up Artist... urgh. I haven't heard of
the others though, I'm going to assume that's a good thing :-)
Don't get me wrong from my last message I do watch reality
TV..only to laugh at how dumb some of the people are....and Im not
really "bashing" reality TV im just giving people my opinion of
it....
I really think the Rock of Love or whatever that show was called
needs to be added to this list!!! But I agree with all of them on
here.
shot of love is addicting.
man band was odd
house of carters they all needed some sort of therapy not a tv
show
tommy lee goes to college was more of a joke then a show
pick up artist was a good idea but i dont think they did a good
job making it came out that way
most (if not all) reality shows are one of the top most
unintelligent shows to watch... what can u possibly get from
watching this? did u notice how most people watch this crap are
like extremely dramatic people!?
TURN OFF THE TV INSTEAD! jesus christ.
oh please, what do you think you are, cool by bashing reality tv
shows and saying how ridiculously lame they are? its called
entertainment, you're just as bad for paying attention to these
shows so don't flatter yourself.
ignore the last message. i didnt know this was the worst shows. i
thought it was just random shows. i love making menudo.
You guys forgot Making Menudo. AWESOME SHOW! U should soooooo
watch that. (Just my opinon)
Aaron Carter is soooooooooo stupid. Does anyone else know that he
had to go rehab for like, 3 moths because he was addicted to drugs
like coke and pot? Please, please, please, do not watch his dumb
family's reality show.
WE ARE ALL HUMAN WHO CARES IF THERE OF PREFRERENCE WE ALL SHOULD
HAVE LOVE JUST IN ARE OWN WAY NO IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
Tequila is the worst and I can't believe they would put that on
MTV. If I had to pick one, I would watch Tommy Lee: College, only
b/c some of it is kind of funny, even though it is fake. I would
love to see him at Harvard.
I love Ny is entertaining, I've watched Tila's show its okay<
other than that everything else on this list is crap to me.
Somebody forgot I Love New York and Flavor of Love.
why would tila want to show herself finding love on television.
that is very wierd. i know she is bisexual but why advertise it.
they need to take that show off the air before some little kids
catch a glimpse of it.

im not a fan of reality shows and i honestly hate the type of show
that shot at love, flava flav, and i love new york. i think theyre
retarded.but for some reason, a shot at love is REALLY
entertaining and funny. this is the only one ive watched.
why is everyone rippin on tila..you know what honestly i think the
show is great, cause maybe it will help people be more comfortable
with themselves, i mean come on, the girl came out on national
television, let alone on MTV
I love Tila's show, and I loved watching House of Carters. I'm a
sucker for a lot of reality shows, but there are still quite a few
that I won't watch though. I've never even heard of that Man Band
show, but that has to be the most ridiculous show idea out there.

(On a side note, who thinks Brandi will stay or leave on Tila's
show? I don't know if I can wait till next week:)
Yea, all of these shows sucked.
I love this show; I think it's hilarious.
i love tila tequila i think she hot an i love her show i watch
every tusday..
i love tila!! i watch her show religiously.
A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila... i love this show!! I think
this show soo big because (i think) it the only bi show.


I think Tila show is good but its kinda of sayin gay people are
out here so except them but at the same time the show really like
made up it doesnt seem real at all
The one show that is on the air that sucks major (insert bad thing
to suck on here) is "I Love New York" 1&2. This show sucks and
just makes one woman feel like a princess surrounded by guys who
are slobs. At the same time, the girl is full of herself. At least
Tila has a more down to earth attitude about herself.
love isn't about the gifts people give you.
House of Carters got annoying and it seemed so fake.

I watched like one episode of Manband...but that kinda sucked
too.

Never watched any of the others.

But this whole article is based on the point of view by one
person. Kinda lame.
The Pick-Up Artist is a great reality show.

I can't believe Tila has her own show, she seems really fake.
I love Tila Tequila. Her show is so big since she has over a
million friends on Myspace and bi-sexual is in right now.
LOL at some of these. Mission: Man Band?!
I haven't heard of a single of these shows
Thankfully, I haven't even heard of any of these shows except for
Tommy Goes to College. And I haven't actually seen any of them.
I watch a Shot at Love. I still don't know why she has her own
show either, but it's interesting. Nick Carter's a jerk on House
of Carter's.
I love a Shot at Love all the other shows i dont really know about
but i watch the first one.
A shot of love with Tila tequila is a great show! Me and my
boyfriend watch it every tuesday together. It has huge ratings
because its a good show.
trashy tv...gotta love it. i DO really like the pick up artist
though...and lately i've been watching shot at love jsut because
it's been on all the time and stuff. i gotta admit that me and my
friends were pretty excited to watch the new episode last night
though cause of that cat fight between brandi and vanessa (:
I watch A Shot of Love, it's just like the others. Go figure. I
wanted to catch Mission: Man Band but I always forgot to. hah. And
I watched Tommy Lee Goes to College, it was something.

All those shows suck except A SHOT AT LOVE WITH TILA TEQUILA!!! I
love that show I watch it ever week but the rest of them are very
sad and dont even know how they made it on tv,.
i love Tila Tequila, i actully watch it all the time and i dont
like most shows like that. i hate 'I love NY' and i never seen
'House of Carters' but that family is already messed up so why
show it to the world.

reality television keeps american tuned in so why would they be
the worst if they get the most viewing?
the house of carters! They talked about real issues and how they
coped with them!
Aw come on, The Pickup Artist was a great show! Mystery gave the
guys confidence and helped them believe in themselves. It wasn't
just a show about picking up women in a sneaky way just to get
into bed with them either. To me, it was mostly about using
social skills to the greatest extent so you can have a real
conversation with someone and get to know them. I personally
loved the show and hope for a 2nd season!
haha i havent seen any of these except Tila--its OK but some of
these other ones sounds kinda funny!
Yeah. Um. They're all terrible. And I've watched all but one of
them...*hides her head and punches herself in the face*

I'm going to go read some Chuck Klosterman now, thank you.
I love ny 2 is the best by far...fricking hilarious
its missing a few however one such show (Aussie) made however was
called yasmins getting married in which yasmin was supposed to get
married after finding mr right it only lasted 2-3 episodes before
getting cut god did it suck B&&*s and that was after a several
million dollar advertising campagn what a flop
i only watched 'a shot at love with tila tequila' online, which is
lots of drama, but u can so tell is more for guys then girls. even
tho the guys are hella ugly and horn dogs.
The reason why Tila Tequila has her own show is because she is a
slut.Alot of people are interested in things that have to do with
sex.I think that Tila Tequila is just doing that show to make more
money and get more popular.
I have to say, theses articles of the reality shows, make me
discusted, there all point view, on like one person...

If ur going to write a report about shows people hate, at lest do
a poll or something On say a main part of kiwibox, for more then a
day? Like every day,a nd use other kiwis opinions in your
article..

No offence, The article is good, but its all based on one view, it
seems... and seems bashing all reality shows.

A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, has scored huge ratings because
its a reality show, that house Lesbians, and bisexuals, and
straights all in one. It represents them getting together. It also
shows that their is nothing wrong with that sexualy. Not to
mention, alot of lesbians/gays/bisexuals, and even straight people
are glad theres a show like this! Even if its a reality show, its
a bigger start to something new.
i love tila tequila and i love her show
