What does it take to convince twenty four hopeful contestants to risk life and limb to compete for a prize of $50,000? This reality show is fast paced and looks to be extremely painful for some who slip, get knocked down, or otherwise bruised and mangled while running through the obstacles presented on Wipeout each week. As the competitions numbers are whittled down we find just how far some will go to win 50K. The games begin with twenty four and cut that number in half by competing against each other and the clock that stops for no man. The Qualifier Round, which has four obstacles to win over, will cull the slower and less lucky while the second round pares the numbers down to six. Then those who remain must face the final round and that changes each season with each being more challenging than the season before. Traversing some obstacles are easier than others but may require quicker times. Some may even be skipped entirely but that contestant will lose a certain amount of time. Taped in Canyon Country in Santa Clarita, California at the Sable Ranch, which is forty miles north of Los Angeles, hosts Jill Wagner, John Anderson, and John Henson keep the competition running as smoothly as possible.

"The Amazing Race" is a popular reality TV series that follows teams of two as they race around the world in competition with other teams.

It must be painfully difficult to be the first eliminated on shows like Bachelor Pad! Not only is that coveted prize of $250,000 taken away but it has to be absolutely embarrassing to be booted off such a tacky show, right? Well actually this is one reality show that has something to offer in the way of entertainment quality. The competition on Bachelor Pad comes from men and women who have previously been seen on former episodes of The Bachelor as well as The Bachelorette, two other competition style reality game programs, originating on the ABC network. On Bachelor Pad each contestant casts their individual private vote for one of the other contestants. They vote for who they want to see eliminated and each week the person with the most votes will be out of the competition. And that competition can be tough! Challenges that culminate with ballroom dancing (like on Dancing With the Stars) pare down the competitors as well as dates that can drive one to distraction! Finalists either become close companions or else go their separate ways and must decide to split the prize money or share it with the others who have already been eliminated.

If you like watching shows like the Jersey Shore and all those Housewives of"¦ somewhere, you just might fall in love with Russian Dolls. Full of hair extensions, sex, arguing, gold chains, partying, drinking (vodka of course), and plenty of techno style music, these Russian Dolls are not the type to sit on a collectors shelf. Brighton Beach is home to the largest Russian American gathering place in New York. This community has plenty to show off including young beautiful women such as Anastasia, a 26 year old who has long blonde hair (with help from some hair extensions), deep tan, toned body, and ample make up. Her future hopes include college graduation but she's not trying very hard. The Levitis', Marina and Michael are owners of a popular local nightclub and Michael has somehow become involved with corruption that involves a state Senator. But don't let the gold chains, sex, and non stop partying keep you from watching Russian Dolls. After all the show's producers were out and about drumming up cast members by posting signs advertising for the next "Situation" or "Snooki" characters to step up and audition for the show. Just like other shows with similar formats, Russian Dolls are not afraid to showcase their intimate lives and all the sordid details viewers could ever ask for. Not exactly the prostitution game as the name implies, but plenty of steamy sex and exhibitionism.
