The Best Reality TV Shows You Need to Binge

1 – The Real Housewives

Bravo’s Real Housewives series shows viewers how the “other half” lives. It’s a must-watch for those looking to escape their mundane routines. We love watching the ladies dine at top-name restaurants, dolled up in the most expensive designer looks, and jet off to fabulous vacations. And when it comes to drama, The Real Housewives doesn’t disappoint. With 12 different franchises to watch: Orange County, Beverly Hills, New Jersey, New York City, Atlanta, and more, you’ll be kept busy for hours!

Where to watch: Bravo TV, Peacock

2 – Vanderpump Rules

Vanderpump Rules skyrocketed WeHo restaurants SUR and Tom Tom to fame. Beverly Hills Housewife and Restauranteur Lisa Vanderpump gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run some of the city’s poshest restaurants. But the real focus is on her hot staff that can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Hook ups, break ups, explosive fights, and betrayals are a constant throughout the show’s 11 seasons. It was even responsible for the Scandoval cheating scandal that took over nationwide headlines in 2023. There truly is never a dull moment behind these restaurant doors.

4 – The Traitors

If a murder mystery dinner and Big Brother had a baby, it would be The TraitorsThe show brings together contestants from some of the best reality shows (Real Housewives, Vanderpump Rules, Survivor, The Challenge) and throws them all in a Scottish Castle for the chance to win up to $250,000. But this isn’t your mother’s game show. While all contestants enter as “faithfuls,” Host Alan Cumming (Spy KidsBurlesque) chooses 3 contestants to become “traitors” who will slowly “kill off” their fellow contestants one by one, unless they are caught. If all the traitors are caught at the end, the remaining faithfuls split the prize money. But, if there’s even one trator left, the winnings are all theirs. The Traitors’ deceitful nature, dramatic contests, grueling physical challenges, and Alan Cumming’s fabulous wardrobe make it one of the best game shows ever.

5- Love Island

Reality shows about finding love have all been done before, but not quite like Love Island. Islanders (aka hot singles) enter a luxurious villa and pair off with one another. Physical challenges, date nights, and a romatic island setting help their relationships blossom. But, things never get too comfortable as there’s always a hot new bombshell waiting to enter the villa and shake things up. There’s no shortage of romance, tears, hook ups, and break ups on Love Island. The couple who stays together thoughout all of the drama walks away with $100,000 (and the love of their life). There are plenty of Love Island episodes to binge. Once you’ve watched all 7 seasons of Love Island USA, check out the original show, Love Island U.K.

Where to watch: Hulu, Peacock, Paramount +
