Additionally, there’s no shortage of reality dating shows, though some are of course better than others.

It’s a real conundrum, but nevertheless the show was highly entertaining.

However,Date My Momwas also seriously weird, and just plain bad.

And in 2007, she launched her own reality dating show looking to find true love.

The show was calledA Shot at Love With Tila Tequila,and it was quite a wild ride.

It featured 16 men and 16 women, all vying for the heart of Tequila.

While it did have an interesting title and premise, in the end it just fell flat.

But one 2010 series sought to change all that by creating a reality dating show that dug deeper.

With a title likeBaggage,you know things are going to get heavy.

Basically, contestants compete for love by showing up with their own emotional baggage in tow.

Seriously, it can be terrifying, no matter how confident you are, to be that vulnerable.

However, not everyone was a fan of the premise, in particular The Parents Television Council.

Perhaps not surprisingly,Dating Nakedwas canceledafter three seasons.

Well, sort of.

Are You the One?is the perfect combination of reality television drama and genuine quests for love.

It’s not as addicting as you might expect, but it’s certainly not terrible.

And withMarried at First Sight,Lifetime managed to do just that.

And yes, it gets as complicated as you would assume.

Clearly,Married at First Sightis better than you would expect, though there are some rough patches.

Add in the fact that one person is from another country, and you’ve got yourself a hit.

Not only is90 Day Fianceitself a seriously captivating show, but the entire90 DayFiancefranchise is also particularly compelling.

There areso many spinoffs, each one as dramatic and addicting as the former.

Seriously, who doesn’t love watching shows about the rich and fabulous and all their love problems?

The Millionaire Matchmakeris, obviously, about a millionaire matchmaker.

Whatever happens, this show was one for the books.

Still, for allThe Bachelorhas going for it, the show has had some issues in the past.

Well, the franchise has.

Overall,The Bacheloris a classic, but not for everyone.

And that’s kind of what makes the series not the best, but also not the worst.

Infidelity is no joke, but onTemptation Island,it’s pure entertainment.

WithLove Is Blind,though, Netflix found an instant hit and the series was ajourneyfrom start to finish.

The show tried to answer the question: “is love really blind?”

After they fell in love, blindly, they either got engaged or they didn’t.

And that was just the beginning.

Love is Blindwent on and got even better, but it was a huge success from the get-go.

Lauren and Cameron were certainly the fan-favorite couple from the series, and they seem extremely happy together.

And while the show’s premise is obviously intense, it’s produced somegenuine connections.

And that’s really allLove Islandis, but it’s so, so good.

Additionally,Love Islandis relatively simple, and that might be what makes it so great.

The show just follows young, hot singles as they arrive at an island and instantly get paired up.

In a nutshell,Love Islandis easy to watch, and total guilty pleasure viewing.

There’s a reason this show is so popular, and has jumped the pond as it were.
