Back in the day when I watched waaay too much television, I couldn't even justify it by saying I was watching the good stuff. If anything, I watched the worst television had to offer. Take Cheaters, the reality television show hosted by smarmy Joey Greco.

I bet Megan Hauserman (previously from Rock of Love 2 and I Love Money) did not think that her money-hungry ways could blind her from seeing a potential murderer in her midst. But that’s exactly what happens on Megan Wants a Millionaire, VH1’s show about a bunch of douches who want to date a gold-digger. It turns out that contestant Ryan Jenkins is a person of interest in the murder of his wife, Jasmine Fiore, whom he married (and possibly killed!) after the show finished taping.

Just like there's a dating site for everyone, there's also a dating show for everyone! Reality TV now tests whether age, size, or looks matter. It seems like network producers are keen on conducting sociological experiments — either that or they want the ratings.

Keeping elephants in zoos is controversial. Some people say they shouldn't be in captivity, others say allowing people to see endangered animals makes them care about their continued survival. I don't know enough about it to say, but I do know that it's touching to see this tiny (by elephant standards!) baby elephant finally bonding with his mother, Rose-Tu (who had been a little rough with him at the beginning).

Hey, I watched Joe Millionaire, I'm no reality TV snob, but crushing medical diagnoses? Is this entertainment? Millions of viewers will get to decide that for themselves when they watch British reality star Jade Goody find out she has cancer on the Indian version of the show Big Brother (called Bigg Boss.)
The 27-year-old star received the diagnosis that she had cervical cancer from her doctor and broke the news to her housemates, in tears of course, all on camera.

It's the reality television cliché of the century, and this clip makes you wonder who said it first. Best variation: "I ain't here to make no friends." Runner up: "This isn't America's Next Top .

In case you've been hiding under a rock like I have, the object of Rock of Love With Bret Michaels is to win a date with the front man of once-hot metal band Poison. The chicks competing for this thing are scary. Even scarier, though, are their opponents in this episode.

These days, you can't turn on the television without catching some oddball reality show. Some folks love these programs, others disregard them as "trash," while I just consider them crazy fun. From the untouchable Tyra to those kooky Kardashians to Sleeza Tequila, the idiot box lives up to its name.
