Guilty Pleasures: Infamous & Ratchet TV Shows We Love to Watch

Talent & Competition Shows Gone Bad

And I’m talking more than just the stale “American Idol.” There are so many out now that  not only can you win a recording contract, but your neighbor who can burp her ABCs can win “America’s Got Talent,” and your little brother can throw on some heels and compete to be RuPaul’s next drag star. These are awesome shows for the judgmental person in all of us. The one who like to sit in front of the TV asking, “what were they thinking?” when if ever given the chance to do anything in front of a camera, we would probably look a mess too. And who doesn’t like watching C-list celebrities and off-season athletes shake their moneymakers doing the Paso doble to compete for the ugliest trophy of all time? We get mad when our favorites get kicked off, and the folks we hate (but not really) get to move forward. You might not participate in any way by calling in and voting, but being able to complain about it the next day over lunch tomorrow is what it’s all about.
