With the fifth season of Selling Sunset recently airing, reality TV fans were excited to rewatch season 4 in preparation. Along with Selling Sunset, Netflix has a plethora of reality TV shows that are just as good as the shows on networks like Bravo and the E! Network.
From The Ultimatum to Too Hot to Handle, there's drama, gorgeous stars, and jaw-dropping concepts that separate Netflix's reality shows from others. On Ranker, Netflix fans added different reality TV shows and voted on their favorites. While a show like Queer Eye is a give-in as a fan favorite, some reality shows are more popular than subscribers realized.
Watch Awake: The Million Dollar Game (2019)
Although Watch Awake: The Million Dollar Game came out in 2019 and only has one season, fans on Ranker loved the show enough to give it 22 upvotes. The season has eight episodes and focuses on seven contestants who compete for $1 million.
Each contestant had to stay awake for 24 hours only to compete in a series of challenges afterward. It doesn't look like fans of the reality TV show can apply for a second season but it was a unique enough concept to have fans engaged.
The Final Table (2018)
The Final Table is another competition show that only lasted one season but it made an impression on foodies. Unlike some of the other reality shows on Netflix, The Final Table was a reality cooking show that was as real as they came.
Hosted by Andrew Knowlton, the show follows 12 duos from different countries as they go head-to-head making high-end plates from each other's countries. The show was in-depth and showed the minds of chefs in a way that other shows never did. In the end, one team or person took home the title.
Queer Eye (2018-)
In 2018, Netflix created a reboot of the 2003 series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy called Queer Eye. The heartwarming and upbeat show has experts in different fields give makeovers to an individual in need of help. From clothing to mindset to kitchen habits, the Fab Five takes their job seriously.
Antoni Porowski takes care of food and wine, Jonathan Van Ness covers all things grooming, Bobby Berk tackles the interior design of the space, Tan France takes over the wardrobe, and Karamo Brown handles lifestyle. Together, the Fab Five brings laughs, tears, and confidence. On Ranker, the series has 30 upvotes.
Selling Sunset (2019-)
It's hard to believe that Selling Sunset is already on its fifth season after premiering in 2019. The original reality series is one of Netflix's more popular, focusing on the real estate firm, the Oppenheim Group.
While the series has been called out for its storylines being too forced, it's an addicting show about the lives of real estate agents and their cutthroat industry. With gorgeous women working for the Oppenheim Group, fans on Ranker have their favorite main Selling Sunset characters and moments.
Nailed It! (2018-)
Nailed It! is a fun baking competition hosted by Nicole Byer and Jacques Torres. Unlike other cooking shows, Nailed It! doesn't take itself too seriously. The fun show focuses on novice bakers as they attempt to bake complicated desserts.
The premise of the show came from beginners attempting baked goods at home from things they found on the Internet. However, baking intense desserts is harder than it looks. The winner of the series walks home with a cash prize and the honor of being a Nailed It! champion. On Ranker, the show has 20 upvotes.
Sugar Rush (2018-2020)
Another baking competition show, Sugar Rush has three seasons and revolves around duos going through three rounds of competitions. Hosted by Hunter March, the winner of the final round walks away with $10,000.
Since Sugar Rush only focused on baking, the series had two holiday-themed specials released on Netflix outside of the original three seasons. Between the competitors, judges, and sugary confections, Sugar Rush is an addicting baking show.
Magic For Humans (2018)
Magic for Humans is a reality TV show that's become popular on Netflix for its unique premise: magic. Magician Justin Willman walks the streets performing tricks for the people he meets. With a touch of humor and whimsy, Magic for Humans has some hilarious episodes.
Currently, the reality show has three seasons and is seen as one of the more popular reality series on Netflix because of its originality.
Tidying Up With Marie Kondo (2019)
Tidying Up with Marie Kondo was a huge success for those interested in decluttering and organizing their lives. Kondo, a professional Japanese organizer, goes to different homes in each episode as she helps them compile their home. From clothes to kitchen cabinets, Kondo's patient take on organization hit home for viewers.
Tidying Up with Marie Kondo was so beloved that another series, Sparking Joy with Marie Kondo, was released on Netflix in 2021.
Ultimate Beastmaster (2017)
Ultimate Beastmaster is the only one of its kind on Ranker's list. The 2017 competition show was obstacle course-based and starred famous actors, athletes, comedians, and big names in the spotlight as they competed in different events around America.
As hilarious and unique of a concept as Ultimate Beastmaster is, it only lasted for three seasons before running its course. The series had famous faces like Tiki Barber, Seo Kyung Suk, Nick Cummins, and Bianca Balti go head-to-head.
Next In Fashion (2020-)
Queer Eye's Tan France is back for another reality show on Netflix, Next in Fashion. Co-hosted by Alexa Chung, the contestants compete for a chance to win a cash prize and a fashion collection with the brand Net-a-Porter.
The designers came from across the world to compete and have their designs dissected and reviewed by judges. As interesting as season 1 was, season 2 will come back with supermodel Gigi Hadid replacing Alexa Chung.
