There’s something about reality television that brings people together. Maybe it’s seeing people like us get their moment of fame, living vicariously through unbelievable exploits, or just a break from our reality to watch someone else’s drama unfold. Whatever it is, Paramount+ has you covered this month for all your juicy reality drama needs.
Big Brother
With 25 seasons and no signs of slowing down, Big Brother is always good for a reality show binge. Watch a houseful of strangers live together as they battle through challenges and try to create covert alliances that keep them from being voted out. This season’s cast is smart and has studied the game in-depth, making them incredibly fun to watch.
With only a handful of episodes out, it’s the perfect time to catch up on the new season. One of the best parts of Big Brother is the release of multiple episodes per week, never leaving you hanging for too long. With new secrets around every corner, we’re dying to know who survives the house this season.
Wild ’N Out
After almost 20 years, Wild ’N Out is still going strong in the improv, rap, and comedy game. This show pits two teams together in games that revolve around improv comedy and freestyle rapping. While they spend much of their time taking hilarious digs at each other, it’s clear they have a ton of respect for each other and their craft.
Wild ’N Out includes celebrity guests, often rappers and comedians, to join the fun, including big names like A$AP Rocky, Big Freedia, and Montel Williams. The show has even been the springboard for wildly successful comedians, like Pete Davidson, Katt Williams, and Mikey Day. With 11 seasons on Paramount+, you’ll have plenty of episodes to keep the laughs coming.
The Challenge: USA
Another show that is currently airing, The Challenge: USA will get your heart pumping as you watch reality show alumni battle for the crown and the $500,000 prize. The show follows individual players as they pair up for challenges, strategize, and battle their way out of the elimination arena.
One of the biggest selling points this show has is the sheer athleticism required to be successful. The Challenge: USA often puts players through a physically demanding action while also asking them to use their brains to solve puzzles. Watching some of your favorite reality show stars become powerhouse players will keep you glued to the screen.
Ink Master
Ink Master pits tattoo artists against each other as they compete for the title of Ink Master and a cash prize. The stakes are a little higher in this show as the competition takes place with real tattoos on real people. Tattoo artists are given different challenges to prove their skills, versatility, and artistry when it comes to creating beautiful tattoos.
The drama in this show is unmatched. The people receiving tattoos – the “canvasses” – have to work with the artists to find something that they like while still aligning with the challenge. We’ve seen more than one blowup from unhappy clients and have even watched artists tattoo themselves to stay in the competition. With the 2022 revival streaming in full, you can catch all the high-stakes challenges now.
Each of these reality shows is streaming now on Paramount+.
