娛樂周刊：實境節目最佳20名

http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20282498_20282501_20282998_19,00.html

1. SURVIVOR (CBS, 2000-present)
By dropping 16 strangers on an island and letting them battle it out for a
million dollars, Survivor changed the face of television — for better or for
worse — more than any show this millennium. And the combination of exotic
locales, backstabbing strategy, and hotties in bikinis has the series still
going strong, with season (gulp!) 19 coming this fall.
Best Season: 1, when the snake (Richard Hatch) devoured the rat (Kelly
Wiglesworth).

2. THE AMAZING RACE (CBS, 2001-present)
The global dash has taken home six Emmys for its nail-biting challenges,
superior production values, and far-flung destinations. All this, and the
family-friendly hit remains must-see without relying on sex appeal or
mean-spiritedness.
Best season: 2 Chris and Alex passed the bickering Tara and Wil in a final
sprint to the finish line.

3. THE OSBOURNES (MTV, 2002-05)

4. PROJECT RUNWAY (Bravo, 2004-2008; Lifetime, 2009–present)
With its mix of cattiness, creativity, flashy duds, and dynamos, Runway made
fashion both accessible and hilariously entertaining. Where else can you hear
a judge proclaim, ''That crotch is insane!''?
Best Season: 3 Keith Michael and his fashion books got the boot, the cast
visited Paris, and a sharp-tongued redhead (Laura Bennett, left) discovered
she was pregnant for the sixth time.

5. THE REAL WORLD (MTV, 1992-present)

6. AMERICAN IDOL (Fox, 2002-present)
Once a year, Idol gives the public a chance to overthrow the Auto-Tune-ocracy
known as the record industry by catapulting an undiscovered talent (or two)
to superstardom. Who says the revolution will not be televised?
Best Season: 5 A deep, diverse field — Daughtry! Elliott! Paris! Kellie! —
plus a lack of pimping from the judges canceled out Taylor Hicks'
much-maligned win.

7. JACKASS (MTV, 2000-02)

8. TOP CHEF (Bravo, 2006-present)
Pairing food porn with Survivor-style competition is a recipe for brilliance.
Chef is both educational for the budding foodie (you can make foam out of
what?) and exciting for lovers of good rivalry (dicing has never been this
tense).
Best season: It's a tie! Season 1 had the tasty treachery between villain
Tiffani and Dave (''I'm not your bitch, bitch''), but the cocky mastery of
season 3 winner Hung (left) was just plain delicious.

9. PROJECT GREENLIGHT (HBO, 2001-03; Bravo, 2005)

10. AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL (UPN, 2003-06; The CW, 2006–present)
Aside from giving us the comedic bounty of Tyra Banks' halting speech
(''You're still in the running toward becoming America's. Next. Top.
Model''), ANTM combines fierce competition with photo-shoot challenges that
border on performance-art spectacle. Plus, Tyra's voguing acolytes are
sound-bite machines. Why isn't ''Bitch poured beer on my weave!'' a bumper
sticker yet?
Best season: 3 Featuring the bratty and beautiful Eva, who sashayed away with
the title.

11. THE BACHELOR (ABC, 2002-present)
Guy meets girl is the oldest concept in the book. But when it's guy meets 25
girls — some angry hysterics, some teary naïfs, all desperate for a diamond
— that's a book we can read over and over again.
Best Season: 13 Single dad Jason Mesnick delivered the most dramatic moment
ever when he ditched his fiancée for the runner-up.

12. BANDS ON THE RUN (VH1, 2001)

13. THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF... (Bravo, 2006-present)

14. THE HILLS (MTV, 2006-present)
''Reality'' has never looked slicker or sexier than on this spin-off of MTV's
Laguna Beach. The docusoap became an undeniable pop culture phenomenon by
centering on the battle between blank-stare innocence (Lauren Conrad) and
transfixing narcissism (Heidi and Spencer).
Best Season: 3 The Lauren/Speidi squabbles erupted into an epic sex-tape
rumor feud with the infamous ''You know what you did!'' Les Deux fight.

15. BIG BROTHER (CBS, 2000-present)
The contestants may be lewd, crude, and often reprehensible (your legacy is
secure, Evel Dick), but BB is a voyeuristic hoot because it so delightfully
embraces its cheesiness. You know a show can laugh at itself when even the
host, Julie Chen (left), revels in her not-so-flattering nickname, ''the
Chenbot.''
Best season: 2 The egomaniacal Will ''Dr. Evil'' Kirby wins — after
repeatedly warning everyone that he is a lying bastard.

16. BLIND DATE (Syndicated, 1999-2006)

17. DEADLIEST CATCH (Discovery, 2005-present)

18. THE APPRENTICE (NBC, 2004-present)
The concept — Survivor for MBAs! — was intriguing. But the art of the deal
was in the casting of made-for-TV mogul Donald Trump, who behaved then (and
still does today) as though the entire reality genre was created so he could
star in it — though Omarosa would beg to differ. While the subsequent
celebrity editions have as much to do with business acumen as Joe Millionaire
had to do with macroeconomics, their amped-up absurdity is priceless.
Best season: 1 Contestants sold lemonade untainted by corporate sponsorship —
and ''You're fired!'' became a national catchphrase.

19. JON & KATE PLUS EIGHT (TLC, 2007-present)

20. FLAVOR OF LOVE (VH1, 2006-08)
