One of my favorite things about summer is getting the chance to enjoy a brand new season of Big Brother.There is nothing more exciting than watching a group of housemates compete for half a million dollars for the entire summer through a series of mental and physical challenges. Despite the fact that the recent season of Big Brother turned out to be a little disappointing, it still remains one of my favorite reality shows. Certain players are astonishing and watching them mastermind their game moves is more than satisfying.
Some people may think that ANTM is a very shallow reality show that advocates beauty in the unhealthy sort of way, but it’s no secret that the show has given everyone - the short and the plus size models - the equal opportunity to compete. Even if you don’t agree, reality shows should never be taken seriously. They are just shows after all and you should just have fun with them. Nevertheless, America’s Next Top Model is an addicting show worth keeping up with.
The best thing about reality TV is that we get the chance to see real talent and observe normal people go from ordinary life to stardom.

To be honest I would never purposely tune in to watch Cake Boss, but hey if I stumble upon it while watching TV I would probably keep watching it. There is something really interesting to see beautiful cakes come to life starting from scratch. The whole show is family friendly and it’s actually really entertaining for a food show.
So You Think You Can Dance definitely makes me feel self-conscious about having two left feet, but nevertheless it’s one of my favorite reality shows. On the show, dancers compete through a series of live performances for a chance to become the last one standing. The show is filled with talented dancers accompanied by eminent personalities that everyone can enjoy.
One of the most exciting parts of the X Factor is the audition period, during which you can get the chance to see some of the most humorous performances and discover some ridiculously shocking talent. It’s a fun show to follow and it allows talented singers with a lot of potential to actually make it in the singing business.
