Top 10 Reality TV Shows to Watch in 2025

Alright, folks. Reality TV Shows—you love them, you hate them, but you just can’t look away. From dramatic standoffs to unpredictable plot twists, they’re basically the genre of our time. 2025? Oh, this year’s got some mind-blowing gems. Think crazy new challenges, fresh twists, and (of course) drama for days.

Anyway, let’s dive in. Get comfy because these shows will have you glued to your screen. Trust me.

1. The Circle: AI Edition

So, The Circle is back on Netflix, and guess what? AI is now in the game.

Picture this: human players trying to outwit artificial intelligence players who are pretending to be humans. Wait, what? I know. It sounds like a fever dream, but it’s brilliant. If there’s anything I’ve learned from watching Reality TV Shows, it’s that they know how to keep things spicy.

Why It’s a Must-Watch

• Mind games galore. Who’s an AI? Who’s a human? And how do you know? It’s a game of deception—and honestly, a game of trust issues.
• Watching AI try to flirt? Oh, it’s awkward. Like, really awkward.
• Contestants? They’re out there in the wild, unaware some of their “friends” are algorithms.

Here’s the kicker: I started watching with no idea what was happening. Fast forward three episodes, and I was full-on yelling at my screen. “That’s a bot!” I yelled. And guess what? I was right. It was a bot. I felt so proud.

2. Survivor: Climate Chaos

You’ve seen Survivor before. Y’all know the drill: contestants on a beach, fighting for immunity. Well, this version? It’s climate chaos style. No more tropical islands. Nope. This time, they’re dealing with floods, extreme heat, blizzards—you name it.

It’s like they’re playing Survivor but with actual survival. Who would’ve thought, right?

What’s New?

• It’s basically a survival boot camp meets environmental science class.
• The challenges are less about building fires and more about adapting to natural disasters. Can you survive the heatwave?
• Oh, and Jeff Probst? Still going strong. I’m convinced he doesn’t age.

I mean, I can barely handle a cold wind during my morning walk to the coffee shop, so this? This is next-level. You’ll watch, and just wonder if you could hack it. (Spoiler alert: You probably can’t, and that’s okay.)

3. Love is Blind: Metaverse

Okay, so Love is Blind has always been about falling in love without seeing your partner. Classic. But for 2025? They’re taking it into the virtual realm. No, really. Contestants now interact through avatars in a fully immersive Metaverse.

Let me be real with you: I got stressed watching my first Zoom date. These folks are gonna get too real—and they might not even know who they’re talking to.

What’s Different This Time?

• Virtual reality meets love. Yeah, it’s just as cringey as it sounds.
• Contestants never get to meet face-to-face until they’re 100% invested. The awkwardness? High.
• Some of them fall in love with their avatars and refuse to meet in real life.

You ever wish you could hide behind an avatar while you make awkward conversation? I feel like I’m living that dream vicariously through these contestants.

4. Big Brother: No Privacy Edition

Big Brother’s back—but with a terrifying twist. No confessionals. No breaks. EVERYTHING. Is. Live. For real.

• It’s like having a constant camera in your face, 24/7. And just to make it more spicy, viewers get to vote on tasks in real time.
• Remember those “personal moments” where the contestants vent about the drama? Yeah, forget those. No more privacy.
• Here’s the kicker: Someone’s search history will be exposed on national TV. Imagine that.

Honestly, I love the idea of Reality TV Shows pushing boundaries, but this? This is a little too close to my personal space. My real space. Y’all, I’d be a wreck.

5. The Great British Bake Off: Extreme Edition

We all know The Great British Bake Off. It’s a cozy, quaint, and—frankly—heartwarming show. But what if the challenges were extreme? Like, how about baking in a wind tunnel or while floating in space? Yeah, they’re going there.

• Weather-related baking challenges? They’re doing it. Expect baking in earthquakes, crazy winds, or unpredictable weather.
• Did I mention? The judges are as calm as ever, even while cakes collapse mid-air.
• No more easy-breezy challenges, y’all. This is baking under pressure at a whole new level.

I’d just like to note, I can barely keep my banana bread from turning into a rock. So this? Oh, no way. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.

6. Keeping Up with the Kardashians: AI Clone Wars

I mean, Keeping Up with the Kardashians hasn’t been on air in a minute, but let’s not kid ourselves. They’re still out there—except now, the family’s AI clones are taking over.

• The Kardashians’ AI counterparts are running things, and the real Kardashians have to watch it all unfold.
• Spoiler: The AI versions? They’re better at being Kardashians than the real ones.
• Drama ensues. AI drama is weird.

I’ll be honest, when I first heard about this, I had my doubts. But then I saw a clip of AI Kim outshining the real Kim. That’s when I realized the future is terrifying. But, hey, I’ll still watch.

7. Alone: Urban Survival

This isn’t your typical Alone show. This time, contestants will be dropped into a desolate urban wasteland. Think: abandoned buildings, overgrown streets. It’s the ultimate test of survival—city style.

What’s New Here?

• Contestants have to build shelters in a city, which is way harder than it sounds.
• Oh, and there are wild animals now reclaiming the streets. Did I mention that?
• Trust me, I’d be more lost than a tourist in Times Square.

I’ve got to admit: this version of Alone kind of terrifies me. I have enough trouble surviving a bad commute, let alone navigating an abandoned city.

8. The Real Housewives of Mars

Yup, you read that right. The Real Housewives franchise is taking over Mars—or, at least, a Martian colony in this spinoff.

• Life on Mars: still petty.
• The Housewives? Still throwing shade, but now in spacesuits.
• Expect zero-gravity brawls over space-age luxury goods.

When I first heard about this, I thought it was a joke. But nope—Reality TV Shows are officially out of this world.

9. Hell’s Kitchen: Celebrity Edition

Gordon Ramsay is back—but this time, he’s torturing celebrities in the kitchen. You know, people who think they can cook but can’t even make toast without burning it.

• Celebrities cooking? Total disaster.
• Ramsay’s insults? They sting even more when directed at famous people.
• People are definitely crying over raw chicken.

I’m already cringing in anticipation. Honestly, I don’t even think my favorite celebs would survive. But watching them try? Yes, please.

10. America’s Next Top Influencer

Modeling is so 2000s. Now, it’s all about creating viral content. Welcome to the new era of America’s Next Top Model.

• Contestants compete to see who can create the most engaging social media content.
• The real challenge? Managing a viral scandal without getting canceled.
• In one episode, someone accidentally posts a meme that causes a national controversy. You just can’t make this up.

I’m telling you, Reality TV Shows like this are way more stressful than I anticipated. Y’all, I can barely handle TikTok comments—let alone having to build an entire brand while simultaneously dodging online hate.

Wrap-Up Time

2025 is going to be a wicked year for Reality TV Shows—with everything from AI drama to virtual romance and urban survival. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to dive in. Which show are you watching first? Or are you, like me, just waiting to see how many people can cry over a steak in the celebrity edition of Hell’s Kitchen?
