B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping competition reality shows into the ol’ VCR.

Something I love about B Movies is that I get to share all these different parts of myself with you. 

One such piece is that I absolutely LOVE competition reality shows. 

Now, don’t get it twisted. I’m not a big reality show fan. Sure, I watched all the MTV reality shows (link piece) as a tween and teen, but I’ve never seen a single episode of The Real Housewives or The Kardashians. 

Everyone has their vices, so I’m not here to knock Bravo or E! or anything else. They’re just not my jam. 🤷‍♀️

The only exception for me is The Queer Ultimatum, which could be argued to be a competition reality show in a sense. 

I’m also not counting Dragula because I think it’s a different monster. 

Competition reality shows, on the other hand? I can’t get enough. 

I know that there are definitely some controversies with competition reality shows, but we’re gonna keep it light today. That’s not to say you shouldn’t do your research. 

I digress. 

I don’t love every competition reality show. 

I watched Survivor growing up, but I fell off a long time ago. 

I also may not watch every season of a show religiously. 

For example, I LOVE Big Brother, but I haven’t seen every single season. 

Alrighty, I think that’s enough explanation. 

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite competition reality shows: 

• The Mole 
• The Trust 
• Big Brother 
• The Challenge 
• The Traitors (US and UK specifically) 
• Crime Scene Kitchen (I’m counting it)
