Introducing the Reality TV Hall of Shame, by David Bloomberg: It's something that reality TV has needed for a long time -- a place where we can truly honor those who most need it: The Reality News Hall of Shame. If there is a reality TV participant who has done something extraordinarily stupid, shameful, or painful to watch, they will be inducted. If there is an entire show that likewise deserves it, they will be inducted as well. And you, the reader, can help by making suggestions.
Reality TV Participants
The Reality TV Hall of Shame: Marcellas Reynolds of Big Brother 3, by C. Brian Devinney: It takes a lot to be enshrined in the Reality TV Hall of Shame. It takes even more to be enshrined within mere hours of leaving the show you were on! But Marcellas has managed to do just that with his incredibly stupid move, which only compounded his previous behavior.
The Reality TV Hall of Shame: Krista Stegall of ‘Big Brother 2’, by David Bloomberg: As if Krista from Big Brother 2 weren't already practically a shoo-in for the Reality TV Hall of Shame, she made absolutely sure she would get in with her lawsuit against CBS last week. Read on for all the details of her induction.
The Reality TV Hall of Shame: Ytossie & Taheed of ‘Temptation Island’, by David Bloomberg: Many people on both iterations of Temptation Island did a variety of shameful things. And we may see more of them later. But the first TI participants to be inducted have to be Ytossie and Taheed, the couple who acted with the maturity of children, which was ironic since they were removed from the main part of the show because they had a child together.
The Reality TV Hall of Shame: David "Puck" Rainey of 'Real World: San Francisco', by David Bloomberg: Since the Reality TV Hall of Shame opened its doors a couple weeks ago, one person we have gotten more nominations about than just about anybody else is David “Puck” Rainey of Real World: San Francisco. In the world of reality TV, he was great TV, but horrible reality.
The Reality TV Hall of Shame: Justin Sebik of 'Big Brother 2', by David Bloomberg: The first entry into the Reality TV Hall of Shame simply must be the only person to date to be expelled from a reality show for misbehaving. I am, of course, talking about Justin Sebik from Big Brother 2. Welcome to the Hall, Justin!
Reality TV Shows
The Reality TV Hall of Shame: UPN and Its Treatment of ‘Under One Roof’, by Susan Schechter & David Bloomberg: UPN has the distinction of being the first network inducted into the Reality TV Hall of Shame. They managed this by canceling Under One Roof not once, but twice. Yet they actually kept the scandal-plagued Manhunt earlier! Read on for details of the induction.
The Reality TV Hall of Shame: ‘Chains of Love’, by C. Brian Devinney: Of all the programs that rely on exposure of human flesh for ratings, perhaps the most un-erotic has to be the dreadful UPN reality series Chains of Love. For this reason and many others discussed here, it is the first show inducted in the Reality TV Hall of Shame.
