Since the days of Star Search and Candid Camera, reality competition shows have advanced significantly. These days, reality competition shows can involve evaluating contestants' survival skills, exhibiting their singing chops, or showcasing a wide range of other skills, like fashion, athletics, culinary, or even Lego construction.
There are no signs that the reality competition genre will ever fade away.
Chopped
After an incredible 52 seasons, Chopped is still going strong, and the audience eats it all up. This reality cooking game show shows chefs competing against one another in a cooking challenge winning 10,000 dollars
RuPaul's Drag Race
It's hardly surprising that RuPaul's Drag Race makes the cut because it has won numerous Emmys, including being the first program to ever win both Outstanding Reality-Competition Program and Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program. The show features drag queens competing against one another through a series of lip sync battles, self-made runaway outfits, acting and dancing among other performance-based activities. It also ranks among the top LGBTQ+ TV series currently available on Hulu.
Project Runway
Project Runway remains on despite the retirement of longtime host Heidi Klum and mentor, Tim Gunn; it is currently in its 19th season and has received more than 30 international adaptations. The goal of this reality competition is to discover the next great fashion designer. The victor will create a line that will be displayed at New York Fashion Week.
American Ninja Warrior
A challenging obstacle course that someone has spent months training to overcome could be over in a matter of seconds. Or, if they're fortunate, they might get to the finish line and advance to the next round. Watching athletes who appear to possess superhuman power overcome some of the most challenging obstacles. Most require them to hang, jump, balance, and use every muscle in their bodies-is intense and fascinating.
