Remember how wild and unhinged reality shows were back in the early 2000s? While some shows played it safe and kept things nice and clean, there were others that pushed their subjects (or contestants) to the breaking point in the name of good TV and high ratings. After watching Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model and its deconstruction of the popular competition series, I started to think about some shows that could also get that treatment, for better or worse.
That being said, I’ve come up with a list of early 2000s reality shows that I think need the docuseries treatment so that we can see just how crazy things got behind the scenes and further explore our insatiable appetite for drama around the turn of the century. Here are some of the reality or competition series I think would be the most interesting.
