Reality TV shows you could binge in 30 days

Even though Bravo canceled this show in 2021, The Real Housewives of Dallas is a must-see in the Housewives franchise. Like many other cities, this group of ladies fight, love, and fight again. It’s riddled with shocking revelations and intense feuds. However, we shouldn't be surprised. Everything is bigger in Texas, and this series proves that. 

In the city of gold, nothing shines brighter than these women. The Real Housewives of Dubai, which is available to stream on Peacock, is Bravo’s first international iteration and unlike anything viewers have seen before. We’re talking multi-million dollar skyrise apartments, top-notch designer garments, and, of course, fiery drama.  

Don’t knock it until you try it. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has only aired three full seasons and is some of Bravo's best reality TV in years. It features luxurious fashion, eccentric personalities, and unbelievable drama. And when we say unbelievable, we truly mean it. 

Part of the Southern Charm family, the Savannah, Georgia iteration lasted two seasons before getting the axe by Bravo. Just like its predecessor, this series focuses on the ins and outs of Southern culture and history, giving watchers a front-row seat to this exclusive group of friends’ messiest moments. 

If you’re looking for a reality show with tons of tea (literally), then you have to stream Ladies of London on Peacock. It’s three seasons full of diamonds, fancy dinners, and, yep, you named it, outrageous fights.    

Bravo’s Family Karma offers viewers culture, history, compelling stories, and dramatic storylines. It’s the network’s first reality series that focuses on the lives of a handful of Indian-American families in Miami, Florida. So far, the series has aired three seasons, and if you’re up for the binge, you can watch them all on Peacock. 

Just like their sister show, Summer House, Winter House only has two seasons, and you can stream both on Peacock. Its cast is full of young, hot professionals on a quick winter vacation in the snowy streets of Vermont. Oh, and you can’t forget the gripping drama. 

After 20 seasons of their first show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, this family of mega-famous A-listers decided it was time to change scenery. Their newest reality show, The Kardashians, is available to stream on Hulu and showcases their family drama like never before. 

Although not your average reality series, Untold is jam-packed with drama from start to finish. It tells the stories of some of the biggest scandals in sports. From Manti Te’o and the girlfriend that didn’t exist to Tim Donaghy, the NBA referee caught betting obscene amounts of money on games.

Like Netflix’s other reality series about real estate agents, Buying Beverly Hills provides all of the glitz and glamour the 90210 is known for. Starring The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Mauricio Umansky and his daughters, Alexia and Farrah, this group of fire real estate agents bring the beauty (and heat) like nobody’s business. After you watch this show, you’ll be begging for the second season, which should hit the streaming platform in no time.

For our reality TV watchers who love a good cooking show, make sure you tune into Netflix’s Barbecue Showdown. Like some of the streaming giant’s other reality shows, this series is a must-see. Of course, it is competition-based. However, these contestants vary in skill, which means the series’ contests are more challenging than ever. This means even the most experienced cooks have to bring their A-game.

Hailing from Netflix’s Selling Sunset franchise, Selling Tampa follows a Black group of luxury real estate agents in Tampa, Florida. Despite its ensemble of stunning women, bright pink labels, record-breaking statistics, and thrilling drama, this show didn’t return for a second season. But the plus side is that you can totally stream all eight episodes before the month’s end. 

Just like the Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, Bling Empire follows a group of elite East and Southeast Asians living their best lives in sunny Los Angeles, California. Despite its cancelation, it’s one of Netflix’s most entertaining reality shows, and its success spawned the spin-offs Bling Empire: New York and Dubai Bling. 

This show is no joke. Special Forces , which airs on Fox, is a series that leads celebrities on a journey to train like the best of the best. Watch stars and world-class athletes like Jamie Lynn Spears and Dwight Howard fight “to survive demanding training exercises led by directing staff agents [and] an elite team of ex-Special Forces operatives.” 

Watch reality stars, high-profile athletes like Lance Armstrong and many others compete in a new, light-hearted reality show called Stars on Mars. The show takes place in a space simulation, giving these stars a taste of what life is like on Mars. There are challenges, calculated gameplay, and mouth-dropping moments like no other. 

If you want to see some of your favorite celebrities and athletes sing their hearts out while disguised in over-the-top costumes, look no further. The Masked Singer features everyone from NFL Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski to the legendary Busta Rhymes in an epic competition for the Golden Mask trophy. 

Another strategic game that comes with a twist. Claim to Fame, hosted by Kevin and Frankie Jonas on ABC, brings contestants (related to celebrities) together for the ultimate competition. Together, the players compete in contests to gain clues that will reveal more about their famous connection, and whoever survives without being detected takes home $100,000. 

Even though we’ve raved about this show before, it’s just too good not to include on this list. With $100,000 on the line, iconic reality stars like Brandi Glanville, Cirie Fields, and Rachel Reilly put their strategic prowess to the test in order to be the last traitor standing. 

This show is so good you could finish it in one sitting. It has the strategic gameplay of Big Brother and the elements of Survivor mixed into one. And the best part is that it's packed into one hour of reality TV goodness.
