10 Best Reality Shows of the 2000s, Ranked

TV Shows

Stylish eyeglasses, Ugg boots, matching tracksuits, crispy hair, overly caked makeup, and everything bedazzled: This is what defined 2000s reality television.

There’s a certain charm to the reality shows that came out of the 2000s we yearn for today. Titles from this era are so over the top, and we eat it up because it’s supposed to be real. We watch it, laugh, and think about how it seems so far from our lives, but sometimes, we see ourselves in the craziness of it all. Whether it’s nodding our heads in agreement as Gordon Ramsay loses his cool for all the right reasons on Kitchen Nightmares or chuckling when Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi gets arrested on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk for public intoxication, it immerses us in a type of nostalgia that makes us want to go to the club and dance like there’s no tomorrow.

Here’s our ranking of the 10 best reality shows of the 2000s, guaranteed to make you want to break out an old pair of low-rise skinny jeans you swore you would never wear again.
