31. RuPaul’s Drag Race
There’s no denying that ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ has become a cultural phenomenon and is well known for bringing LGBTQ+ issues to the forefront of the minds of people from all over the world. That said, the competition, which features drag queens squaring off against each other for a grand prize, often involves fabricated drama and good editing to showcase some contestants in a negative light, and others that are more popular with the public in a positive way. Past contestants claim that producers egg them on to say nasty things, in a bid to create better television. Fake or not, the show remains a hit.

32. Basketball Wives
‘Basketball Wives’ delivers exactly what the title suggests, following the spouses of prominent NBA players as they navigate the highs and lows of being married to a sports star. Shaquille O’Neal’s wife stars in the series and even acts as a producer for the series too, along with a couple of other famous names and faces. As with many VH1 shows, the series is highly scripted and very often scenes are staged. Previous castmates have talked about producers trying to start off air problems in a bid to dial up the drama on air. At the end of the day, a reality show is only as good as how long it can hold the attention span of its viewers. ‘Basketball Wives’ does whatever it can to try and stay on the air.
