Competition Show Rankings: Part 2
I expected the first part of this list to be way more controversial than it was. I do think one entry today will get a lot of people upset though lol. Anyways, like always you can comment or message me your disagreements.
15. So You Think You Can Dance?: I wish this could be higher on this list. If it was based on the early seasons only, it would be top 7 or 8 easily. The last 8 or 9 seasons had the format change and it just ruined the whole concept and vibes of the show for the worst.
14. Lego Masters: I do enjoy this show, I just couldn't put it high with all the other shows out there. There is no fundamental issue with the show, but it is geared towards a younger audience.
13. The Masked Singer: I think this show is awesome. Now saying that, the fun of the show is trying to figure out what celebrity is under the mask. Most of the time it's not a great inclusion because the person really isn't that famous. We do have some great winners though.
12. Beast Games: This has only had two seasons, so I can't put it in the top 10. It has a very good premise. I wish there wasn't so many contestants, but a lot of them do get eliminated early. The prizes and cash money are insanely awesome. With a few more stellar seasons it could easily jump way higher.
11. Wipeout: I wanted to put this in my top 10 so badly. This show is hilarious and I legit laugh for most of the show. It's still a very silly show that isn't too serious. It makes the show awesome, but the serious shows have to be higher.
10. RuPaul's Drag Race: Okay, okay, put the pitchforks down. I can explain. I'm not a fan of fashion shows, so for this to be top 10 means it's highly entertaining. I just dont enjoy fashion, but the queens are amazing and RuPaul is always awesome. It got top 10!!
9. Alone: I absolutely love this show. If you are not aware this show puts survival experts out in the wilderness with select tools and equipment that the experts chose. Whoever survives the longest wins and usually a few people are medically DQ'd toward the end of the season. It's just crazy what they can do and have to do in order to win.
8. American Idol: Again, put those damn pitchforks down!! This show was THE reality competition for so long and produced some of the music industries best artists in the last couple decades. The show takes a sharp decline when Simon left and my interest in it died down too. The winners also started not to become big in the music industry around then too. The revamped version isn't great either, which is a shame.
7. Fear Factor: This show was bat shit crazy back in the day. I mean the stuff these lunatics did for just $50K was insane. They were eating horse dicks just for the chance of making it to the final comp. The neutered down version is not my fear factor.
6. Endurance: This was my hardest choice I had to make. It was so close to making top 5, but the finale 2 seasons drop it down a spot. You could tell they didn't have their hearts into the production or casting for those seasons. The first few seasons were elite though. We also did get 2-time challenge champion Jonna. We also got misogynistic 2-time Survivor player Johnathan from this. Can't win them all.

How is lego masters geared towards a younger audience!?! You want to call it a little cheesy, absolutely. But legos are for everyone. I refuse to believe otherwise. Jenny McCarthy drives me insane, and id rank masked singer lower for that reason alone. I loved the first few seasons of the show, but lost interest after a while. Ill agree that beast games just need more seasons. My kids are obsessed with Mr.Beast so when you look at all of his shows collectively, they are entertaining. Not sure exactly how id rank them compared to everything else though. The sheer amount t of money thrown around on his shows does feel elitist and wasteful in some ways, but Mr. Beast also does a lot of good with his money too. Alone is one of those shows ai love until they start playing super dirty and then I just feel really sad for mankind. If Survivor was the gateway drug to reality tv, Endurance was the hook. It was so relatable given my age at the time it aired. It had all of the things... competition, social, strategic, drama and even romance. I feel like this would have to be top 5 for that reason, but lets see what youre holding out on...ive got a few in mind that I havent seen yet!
