i feel like i've seen enough pictures in
my life of harry and i don't think it is
him
i'd like to be
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst reality shows of the century i'm
feeling very um
shocked
you know to say the least really
just very shocked for this list we'll be
looking at the weirdest most disturbing
supposedly unscripted series that have
aired since the year 2000. what's the
worst reality show you've ever seen let
us know in the comments
number 10 paris hilton's my new bff my
world
my rules game on celebrity
heiress paris hilton was a staple of
reality tv in the early odds namely
thanks to the simple life that paved the
way from my new bff where helpful fans
competed to become her bestie when we
think of lifelong bonds we don't exactly
picture a competition where people are
getting eliminated natasha
i like you very much
and i love that we got to spend time
together and i'd love for us to
stay in touch and i'd love to be friends
but
not best friends
ttyn
season one winner brittany flickinger
has since framed her persona on the show
as a character explaining that what
makes it to air is not reality you know
like reality show reality shows are for
entertainment purposes and everyone
thinks it's real so i'm kind of getting
a lot of for that paris hilton went
on to make another season of the series
which was followed by a uk version
called paris hilton's british best
friend that tells you everything you
need to know
number nine married by america can
arranged marriages work
welcome to married by america
before there was married at first sight
there was married by america this 2003
fox show saw five people putting their
romantic lives in others hands for
reasons we will never understand indeed
the premise saw single folk being
matched up with total strangers
[Music]
there wasn't that gut feeling like this
is the person i want to spend the rest
of my life with and who they were told
to spend their lives with depended on
the public's votes afterward the newly
formed couples dutifully became engaged
they then spent another period getting
better acquainted and facing elimination
predictably nobody tied the knot so
despite what the title claimed no
couples were actually married by america
it's probably a good thing considering
what a horrible premise this was
i have to go
what a loser
number eight top dog model
this short-lived uk series definitely
seemed to borrow its premise from
america's next top model replacing human
contestants with those of the canine
variety the dogs were put through their
paces in a range of different challenges
and photo shoots they then came up in
front of a judging panel who critiqued
their skills she's got a great body and
i don't mean that in a perfect way i
know that is so important with the model
she's got a great job
tensions and emotions ran kind of high
considering this was a show about dog
models it might have been a good time
but the series took itself so seriously
that it was impossible to enjoy
lucky is so small and his colorings are
really difficult to bring out in a photo
but he does always pull it out of the
bag the owners in particular seemed far
too invested though it was sometimes
more difficult to get the required
emotion from the stars of the show and
this was like the worst way to go so i'm
absolutely gutted
number seven the moment of truth have
you ever regretted marrying your husband
you seem a little shocked david was
there anything you want to say
the moment of truth had a simple premise
contestants faced a lie detector test
before answering some of those questions
once more this time with a studio
audience watching
naturally the topics that came up got
more and more intrusive as the game
progressed if i wanted to get back
together with you would you leave your
husband
if they made it through by answering
truthfully until the very end they got
five hundred thousand dollars but is the
money really worth the potential
destruction of marriages family ties and
future career prospects sure some of the
questions were only mildly embarrassing
did you ever wake up in bed with a man
whose name you could not
[Music]
remember jeez
but others have the capacity to turn
people's lives upside down the show is
pretty dark and uncomfortable which
explains its short lifespan
i need to walk out
so embarrassing number six the pickup
artist
you
are the pickup artist
self-proclaimed pickup artist mystery
acted as a dating guru in this morally
dubious reality series from 2007. the
supposedly undateable contestants
believed he had the answers to their
romantic woes which was probably part of
the problem if a girl is interested she
will sub-communicate her interest by
lowering her hands it's called
compliance it's physical compliance oh
wow they were taught various tips to
help them pick up women though the goal
never really seemed to be finding a life
partner these methods were then put to
the test in weekly challenges and the
tactics which were touted as valuable
lessons were often demeaning and
problematic the only thing this
questionable series made us want to pick
up was the remote so that we could turn
the tv off
some people shoot themselves in their
own foot number five
i wanna marry harry
the year is 2014. meghan markle is still
starring in suits but 12 of her country
women are attempting to win prince
harry's heart
well it's actually lookalike matthew
hicks who bears a passing resemblance to
the royal i have to convince them i'm
prince harry but the goal is for them to
like me for who i am this is my chance
to find a girl who i connect with did
the contestants truly believe he was the
real deal it seems so
it is him
it's gonna be one woman with prince
harry the ultimate prince charming and i
hope to be that girl apparently they
were originally told they were joining a
show called dream date they were then
tricked into thinking that the prince
was searching for love normally these
girls would be out of my league and so i
think i've walked straight
into heaven the show reportedly went all
out to sell the ruse actually sending a
fake therapist to persuade the cynics
that's pretty messed up even for reality
tv and couldn't they have found a better
look alike there's one more thing you
should know oh no
what
[Music]
[Applause]
i'm not prince harry number four are you
hot the search for america's sexiest
people
take the standard talent show format of
the simon cowell era remove the word
talent and you're left with are you hot
as the name implies this shallow reality
series aimed to find the best looking
people in america contestants appeared
before a panel of obnoxious judges who
categorized them as hot or not
what's it gonna be
then each hopeful's personal appearance
was critiqued and scored and the judge's
comments were harsh enough to make even
the most confident person doubt
themselves you got a 9.5 on the body for
me because at some point between the hip
and the knee your legs have to touch
there's just too big of a gap in there
of course viewer voting was also
involved the show relied on a lack of
depth but it shouldn't have why anyone
would subject themselves to this torture
is unclear and it was unwatchable close
up on the teeth right side
wider wider wider
wider
open your mouth
i need to see the t
oh you got a good face but you need to
get your teeth fixed number three boy
meets boy in a world where gay is the
norm and straight men must stay in the
closet
there were a lot of dating shows that
relied on bad gimmicks but perhaps none
were as problematic as this 2003 series
it followed james getzlaff a gay man who
believed he was simply searching for
love but what he didn't know until later
was that approximately half of the
contestants were only pretending to be
gay
it's not like that
i came here on your side i'm not here to
infiltrate i'm not here to expose i'm
here to show
we're all alike i hope your mission
will help if james picked a straight
person in the end the chosen man would
win 25 000
while he would leave empty-handed as a
gay dating show in the early 2000s boy
meets boy could have created something
groundbreaking
when i found out the guys that i thought
you know were gay were actually straight
at first you feel deceived you feel
angry then you realize you know what
they're good people what's changed just
their sexuality
and that's a lesson i hope everyone gets
from this instead its twist took it in
the opposite direction and was
unnecessary exploitative and downright
wrong
number two who's your daddy
why did you guys give me up for an
option it was a very
turbulent
time complaints came flooding in before
the show even began airing and for good
reason who's your daddy was such a flop
that it was taken off the air after just
one special episode the premiere saw tj
myers a woman who had been adopted at
birth searching for her biological
father this being the early aughts they
found a way to ruin a potentially sweet
concept by making her pick out her real
dad from a lineup of course there was a
cash prize on the line and it's not hard
to see why the show sparked outrage with
critics reportedly calling it
voyeuristic and insensitive among other
things
that wasn't a day that went by that i
didn't think about you and regret what
we did before we unveil our number one
pick here are a few dishonorable
mentions
taking on tyson mike tyson tried
competitive pigeon racing
they come nice the four of them right
there right together longer they come
nice tommy lee goes to college the
motley crue drummer got the university
of nebraska experience
there's something about miriam the men
competing to date miriam had no clue she
was transgender i would never
never
forget this moment
i tried to be honest with all of you
as much as i can't
next a dating show where contestants
yelled the title if they got bored of
their date do you like to shop too i do
like oh good
but i don't know if i like shopping as
much as you um it's fine everybody has
their own hobbies
might be a little much
i'm gonna have to say next
[Music]
don't worry
i'm tough kid nation 40 unsupervised
kids were left to run their own town
first of all we're doing we're trying to

number one bridalplasty
every bride wants to look perfect on her
wedding day
but some may need some extra help we
understand wanting to put your best foot
forward for your wedding but whoever had
the bright idea for bridalplasty should
be ashamed of themselves this reality
show had brides competing in weekly
challenges to earn cosmetic procedures
in the lead up to their big day i'm
nervous about the vows because i just
know what's most important to me
nice squishy
each woman came prepared with a wish
list of things she wanted to change and
only the winner got all their wishes
granted would their husbands recognize
them when they reached the altar we're
not sure but they'd be perfect in the
eyes of the plastic surgeon the swan
shared a similarly horrid concept
transforming so-called ugly ducklings
through surgery striving for perfection
has never been more depressing my heart
broke at that moment
i totally understand what you're saying
i'm sorry
that was that was definitely like wrong
on my part do you agree with our picks
