What reality show shocked YOU the most? Let us know below, and be sure to also check out our video of the Top 10 Reality Show Scandals That Got Stars Fired - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BXnwTLJ1n30.html

Another one: the Wife Swap murders. A boy from the Stockdale family, who was on Wife Swap, murdered his mother.

That Josh Duggar scandal made me sick. Josh molested his sisters and the parents did nothing about it. Jim Bob and Michelle failed to protect their children. Jim Bob and Michelle were more concerned with protecting Josh, when their daughters were the ones who needed the protecting. What about the Girls Next Door scandal. That was pretty huge. Once the show ended, Jolly wrote her tell-all book about her life in the mansion. Also what about Kendra and her cheating scandal with her husband.

You should have mentioned that Tyra and the entire ANTM network knew about Angelea being an escort the entire time, but that they didnt make it an issue til after crowning her.

When the news broke out that Josh Duggar was arrested for unspeakable act against children and that his parents protected him, I was sick to my stomach! Also, I find it sad and pathetic that his wife Anna won’t divorce him despite the strong evidence against him.

Remember seeing something going around twitter last year about i believe Below Deck(?) where the crew had to physically step in and remove one of the male stars from one of the sleeping women’s bed because he was attempting to be inappropriate with her. That really shocked me considering you hardly ever see crew step in and immediately remove someone the very next episode!

I was like “I hope Willam’s on here” and she’s the opening scene 😂

So after about 10 years, we find out why Angelea was disqualified.... and I'm not not sure why. What's the big deal? What does her past work have to do with her present work? It's not like she was a murderer or anything. Man, she was robbed.

I love Heather Gay so much 😂 “RECEIPTS PROOF TIMELINE SCREENSHOTS” iconic

I'm shocked no Real World entries like the slap from Seattle or the Tammy and the blanket from LA.

What about Todd and Julie Chrisley from Chrisley Knows Best and their prison sentences for conspiring to defraud banks?!

You left out Phaedras lie about Kandi.

Would these clowns be all teary-eyed and apologetic if they hadn't gotten caught? Somehow I don't think so.

I don't know why I watched this, I literally don't watch any of these shows and don't know any of these people. But somehow, it makes me happy that my life isn't anything like theirs (aka: fake)

I thought for sure Real World Seattle with Stephen smacking Irene would make the cut.

When I see Kate Gosselin, I think of the picture image of a KAREN... I always wondered why karens were called Karens and not KATE

I'm surprised nothing from Jersey Shore was on this list

There’s another Project Runway disqualification. I can’t remember her name but she was a twin and they were both on the show. One of the twins got caught for having a measuring tape in her room and measuring shirts and stuff.

I don't understand People on Reality shows should be much more careful not to break the law considering they're in the spotlight.

There was a Queen edited out of Drag Race Uk season four, similar reasons as Sherry Pie

So many things about real housewives, I’m surprised not a single thing about bad girls club

Housewives dominating this list 😍

Moral of the story, just don't do reality tv however much it pays, because you will be paying for the rest of your life

Survivor - Jeff Varner outs a fellow contestant as transgender, and tries to describe him as deceptive based on that

If you want an in-depth account of the Jasmine Fiore case, I highly recommend the episode that covered the case on the podcast Hollywood Crime Scene

I went to Howard with Frenchie and we lived in the same dorm. She was always a powerhouse talent!!

I love where you show the proof and moments that we are speaking of instead of just talking over it what a good video

I remember being quite young and watching the Amber/Gary thing go down. Even back then I was thinking damnnnn they’re really showing this ok

If you really want to talk about a Kardashian publicity stunt, enter Kim and Pete Davidson.

Was it ever confirmed that she was given the crown for ANTM all stars? I never liked her, she wasn’t very good on the show in either season and she seems like the type to make that up for clout. Plus she didn’t win her case.

When that guy on Megan Wants a Millionaire turned out to have murdered his ex and stuffed her body in a suitcase - that was WILD.

I’m wondering the whole Roslyn thing was actually a publicity stunt.

Of course they never put any big brother us controversies

This list helps me to learn

The fact that the FBI had to raid one of RHOSLC sprinter van while on a trip, while searching for Jen Shah will never not be funny to me. I mean, even saying out loud sounds hysterical. And not to mention Monica's Reality Von Tease fake account. Like, really, Whitney, Lisa, Meredith and Heather should have a new show a la Scooby Doo, with them four solving mysteries and unmasking fraudsters. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I could watch their drama unfold all day long

#2 I remember when her body was found in a dumpster because it was in my hometown, a couple of blocks from where I lived. It was pretty bad.

Season 2 of Top Chef. One contestant was physically attacked in the penultimate episode by the other contestants. One of the attackers was kicked off.

I'm missing Real Housewives from DC, where one of the fellow housewives managed to break security into the White House in 2009. Girl, what a mess. The whole show had to be cancelled 🤣🤣🤣

And the last there was never another black bachelor after that .

To me, it's The murder of Jasmine Fiore. Happy monday afternoon, Rebecca. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

I can not understand why the Sandoval scandal was such a big deal. I have watched that show from the beginning and the entire cast has been caught cheating at some point. It was a bit surprising and certainly didn't put him in a good light. But it was not the big deal they made out of it. Good grief it is still going on. Like get over it

Season 3 of Project Runway was SO GOOD. I wanna go rewatch it.

I thought it was established that Corey Clark was talking out of his rear and the claim he slept with Paula Abdul was just a publicity stunt. Has evidence come out to imply otherwise or is this video basing that segment entirely on his claims? I learned about the Vanderpump Rules scandal as a result of him being on The Masked Singer and her being on Dancing with the Stars.

You should’ve included the Miss America just qualification of Vanessa Williams😊

I remember watching the PR pattern episode. That was a shocker!

Based on these comments, it seems like we need a part 2!

Wild that Love Island UK didn’t make this list

Man, I remember all of these! ....

Most caffeine supplements have the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee or a soft drink. So would they have kicked Jillian's team off if she was giving them a cup of coffee or a soda. I don't see how that would boost their performances except making them more awake but they would still have to do all the work themselves.

All of are shocking, scary, sad, and crazy.

American idol, when Jennifer Hudson was eliminated.

What is wrong with America? These "Real Housewives" shows are total trash, and people watch it and say they "relate", or worse yet, wish they could be like them? All the plastic surgery can't take away from the fact that this is totally trash tv.

I don't understand why people want to fake a Cancer diagnosis. I actually have cancer and it definitely is not anything worth claiming at all!!

Last Comic Standing, season 1. Gabriel Iglesias broke a rule about no contact with friends or family. He admitted to secret phone calls with his then girlfriend in which he got her opinion on the material he was planning. He was disqualified from the rest of the season. Ink Master, season 4. Volatile contestant Kyle Dunbar got into a nasty dispute with judges Chris Nuñez and Oliver Peck. He tried to make the verbal altercation physical, but several crew members held him back. He was disqualified from the rest of the season. On season 5 Rivals, contestant Josh Hibbard admitted to marijuana use, which broke the rules of the series. This led to his disqualification. Also season 5, one challenge was to design and apply a biomechanical theme tattoo. Julia Carson had a difficult customer (the series calls the clients the human canvases) who shared several ideas for his tattoo, but they were all mechanical in nature. Julia explained that she had to do biomechanical. Not meeting the challenge would have put her on the chopping block no matter how nice the final tattoo was. She drew up a design, incorporating his ideas but he didn’t like it. He initially walked away. He approached Julia again and she told him the design she showed him was the design she was going to tattoo. He asked to speak with her a little more privately so they could work it all out. She told him to eff off. The judges brought him back in for the critique portion and he explained his version of events and she explained hers. Due to her lack of professionalism, Julia was eliminated.

Oh, boy, when I saw that the 30th was Erika Jane's alleged fraud scandal, I thought "How the hell are you gonna top that 29 times?". But, yep, they did.

It's amazing how these people think their not going to get caught for past indiscretions.

Kenya was wrong on so many occasions, she antagonized Porscha all season!

IT IS SOOOOOOO FREAKING FUNNY THAT KHLOE HAD THE AUDACITY TO BE UPSET OR SHOCKED THAT TRISTAN CHEATED ON HER LIKE DID SHE FORGET HOW SHE GOT WITH HIM I CAN NOT STAND THE KARDASHIANS AND THE JENNERS THEY ERK MY DAMN LAST NERVES LIKE UGGGHHHH JUST GO AWAY AND STAY AWAY GTFOH NOOOOWWWW AND FOREVVVEEERRRRR😂😂😂😂LBVFS

Of all the sister wives scandals, the one about Meri's Catfish feels the more insignificant, Kody is a boiling pot with scandals based on narcissism, machismo, idiocy, and religious fanaticism. Meri looking for something outside of her family life was very understandable, no one in her family really loved her. Mama Boobooo lately was in another scandal for spending all of Honey Boobooo's money on jewelry for her and her boyfriend, so she lost all her daugther college funds...

honestly yall could make a part two bc there’s soooo many that weren’t on here

Erika Jayne and Tom's scandal being number 30 is ridiculous. They should be in the top 10.

I'm not surprised to see the project runway on the list, I remember that season and even his roommates had said they saw a pattern book in his room. So he did it to himself. With John and Kate Plus 8 I think if they had stayed off t.v. things might've been different for them I think because they did go on t.v. that it gave Kate a big head and even in some of the episodes you can see she verbally abused John. It's no wonder one of their kids wants nothing to do with kate.

Abraham tried to pull a kim k 😂

I had no clue there was a housewives of SLC!😂😂😂 and I live in that state, wtf?? I don’t watch that kind of tv trash, but that is super hilarious to me.

These people went to jail for what they did but Will Smith didn't for the slap heard around the world? Wow

RIP To All The Dead Mentioned 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Damn no Survivor with the Dan Spilo situation, Jeff Varner and also Cook Islands for the race division, Big Brother with the knife to the throat etc

How about a video of Big Brother scandals?

Why would anyone watch these awful shows? Everyone on them is disgusting, and many of these people exploit their kids to make money. The shows ARE scripted; they just aren't scripted by good writers.

1. Can reality-crap finally end? 2. The Voice? Has anyone actually found fame after their season aired? (Fame like past idol artists)

Big Brother 15!

I seriously cant understand why anyone can enjoy watching these.

What about the fake leg throwing on real housewives of New York

Sadly I remember all of them

These "reality" shows are straight-up trash! Especially the Teen Mom show. I wouldn't expect anything less from MTV though. They scrape the very bottom of the barrel for material and people. All of these shows need to be scrapped and taken off the air.

Number 10. That show should have never existed......period

I thought Survivor will make it in this list.. I can think of 2.. Outing the other castaway's gender identity and the others being forcibly removed from the show due to their actions...

Kid Danger: *wearing his mighty pup movie outfit* wait, what about Dog the Bounty Hunter?

Jeff Varner survivor scandal

I was waiting for the TCAP one, but I guess that isn't actually a _reality_ show

Jen Shah should be higher on the list

Who knew 😮

This is why I don’t watch reality tv

I'd add Dan Spilo from Survivor, Varner from Survivor, Expulsions from Big Brother.

I never believe celebrity apologies cuz when they said what they said, they mean what they said so an apology usually means they want ppl to get off there back and don't wanna get "canceled" by the media. Also that won't change there mind on what they believe about the comments they made. So basically they still stand by what they say but they just wanna apology cuz of they manager said so.

How about the Bar Rescue episode with the bar owner that killed someone right before the episode was supposed to air? Then, its encore presentation accidentally aired after its initial showing was canceled.

Pbbt...reality shows ARE scandals XD

Don’t forget Gladys Pummeling on Abe in Road Rules: Latin America.

I still think Frenchie got screwed! She deserved a music career!

Farrah later on being on a reality tv and being so damn mean to everyone, no surprised she tried to do a kim kardashian before//

Surprised you didnt mention the RHOP fight

the Real Housewives of OC, Vickie knew what was up but was so confused. In the reunion when Tamar when after her, Vickie quickly back-paddle. She quickly went from popular OG to downgraded.

Australian Big Brother - Turkey Slap. I’d rather just say this than get into the details. Thankfully, production immediately expelled both those guys for what they did to that poor girl.

What about the scandal with that Kendra lady and her husband?

Meri was still married to Kody ''spiritually''. She was still living as his wife with her sister wives. MOJO didn't do its homework.

One from RHOA that gets glossed over is the RAMPANT homophobic remarks about Kim Fields husband. He’s not gay, but they were definitely acting like a bunch of 5th graders with all the teasing and names. S8 is not one I liked because of that. It def wasn’t MAJOR, but it was really ugly and didn’t make ANYONE look good imo. Andy had every right to call them out at the reunion.

Let's face it rozlyn from the bachelor didn't do anything wrong considering that she most likely wasn't gonna be picked by jake anyway

I’m still dying to know who gave Jen Shaw a heads up.

Wasnt there a Big Brother episode where a guy kinda but not really but actually threatens a girl with a knife?

Why is a pattern book banned on project runway
