If watching reality shows are a guilty pleasures of yours, you should take a look and some not-so-popular ones.
For example, one that would be worth taking a look at is 'Genuine Ken' which is a show hosted by Whitney Port where eight men compete to be the perfect boyfriend inspired by the Ken doll.
Also, while there's a lot of speculation that reality shows are staged and completely fake, one that you'll know has to be unreal is 'Total Drama Island' as it is a reality show of cartoons.
Finally, if you live with a tween who loves 'The Wanted' they too will get to see the boy band up close and personal in their reality show that began airing on June 2nd.
