The Hills
The Hills is the OG when it comes to soap opera style reality shows. It gave us some of the greatest villains of all time in Stephanie and Spencer Pratt. Not to mention The Hills sweetheart Lauren Conrad being the pioneer Reality TV star turned influencer. The Hills gave some unforgettable moments, Lauren and Heidi being in a five-year feud, Stephanie Pratt just causing absolute chaos, the complex relationships of all the girls. This show really had it all. If you've never watched it before then get yourself a big glass of wine and take yourself away to The Hills.

Vanderpump Rules
In my humble opinion, this is the greatest reality show to exist. Set in SUR, a restaurant in West Hollywood it follows a group of twenty-somethings through the trials and tribulations they are faced with. The complex group relationships mixed with workplace and friendship dramas have made this one of the reality greats, not only that but it has some of the craziest arguments of all time. You should get this on your watchlist now!

Dance Moms
I remember watching this show on Lifetime every Saturday and Sunday morning as a kid, and my obsession with it has never let up. This show follows a group of mums and kids at a dance studio run by the iconic Abby Lee Miller. This has some of the crazier reality TV fights to exist, with each episode giving us chaos and tension. Since the show aired it has birthed several internationally renowned stars, and there’s a reason, with this show being a reality TV must watch!

The Real World
I must admit, I’ve only seen a few seasons of The Real World, but it’s the show that started it all. Our reality TV obsessed world all began here, with 7 people in a loft in New York City. The premise of this show being that a group of young people were chosen to live in a new city together and followed by cameras. Think Big Brother crossed with summer House kind of vibes. The Real World is one of the longest running reality TV shows ever and there is a reason, every season is fresh and different which has meant that this show has longevity in a way that most shows don’t. For those of you who are a little further into your reality TV journey, this is the show for you!
