Are you a water sign (emotional and super-sensitive), a fire sign (passionate and dynamic), or an air (rational and communicative) or earth (grounded and conservative) sign? When it comes to the 12 signs of the zodiac, each sign has its own distinct characteristics, personality profile and preferences.
Similarly, there is a reality TV show out there for every type of person, whether it deals with themes of love, friendship, sport, cooking, DIY, or real estate. If you're going to "get real," make sure it's with a show that is made for you.
Aries - The Amazing Race
The power of the Ram is courage, always looking for speed and competition. This leader (with excellent organizational skills) must be first in everything. But the downside to an Aries' character is their impulsiveness and impatience, and these characteristics are what makes The Amazing Race the perfect fit.
The Amazing Race has been on for 33 seasons, no doubt with many Aries viewers living vicariously as the dozen teams compete for a million dollars by racing around the world for a month on a shoestring budget. They have to use clues and their instincts to complete tasks while thwarting detours, roadblocks and U-turns on the way to reaching their final destination.
Taurus - Fixer To Fabulous
The Bull is devoted and stable, and loves to be surrounded by love and beauty, hence hobbies they tend to enjoy are gardening, cooking, music and high-quality fashion. They consider touch and taste the most important of all the senses.
Fixer to Fabulous, hosted by Dave and Jenny Marrs, is made for a Taurus' sensibilities. Married for 15 years and using Jenny’s eye for design and Dave’s handy craftsmanship and general contracting background, the Arkansas couple restore historic homes -- all while raising five young children and running their own blueberry farm. Aside from making their physical surroundings beautiful, they make the world a better place by supporting charitable causes.
Gemini - The Bachelor
The twin sign represents the dual personality of someone who is both social and fun-loving, as well as serious and thoughtful. These are the people who can chat up anyone and dislike being alone or confined.
The Bachelor will appeal to a Gemini on a few levels. Not wanting to be alone has to be a key factor in why anyone would join a group to compete for someone's affection. To have the rose bestowed upon you, the women have to be all things: fun and easy to be with, as well as deep feeling and supportive - and let's not forget attractive.
Cancer - Keeping Up With The Kardashians
Intuitive, sentimental and highly imaginative, the Crab cares deeply about matters of the family and their home, and believes there's nothing better than a home-cooked meal with friends. But, often moodiness and insecurity can intrude upon their emotions.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians may be coming to an end, but their "family is everything" motto and emotional rollercoaster antics will live in the hearts of Cancers forever. Watching momager Kris keep her kids working, gathering them together for vacays and dinners, and refereeing their squabbles is what this zodiac sign is all about.
Leo - Chrisley Knows Best
People born under the sign of Leo are natural-born leaders and have many friends. These Lions are big-hearted and passionate but can also be arrogant and self-centered. They're able to achieve anything they want to in any area of life they commit to.
Chrisley Knows Best centers around the life of real estate tycoon Todd Chrisley, patriarch of his wealthy family that includes his wife, children, grandchild and mother. Leos will feel like they're watching their soulmate as Todd runs his life like he runs his business - with an iron fist, not caring who likes it. He micromanages his family's every move to keep everyone in line -- most of the time.
Virgo - Little People, Big World
Virgos are methodical and hardworking, sometimes to the point of being all work and no play. They pay attention to the smallest details and have a deep sense of caring. This sign values animals and nature, as well as good manners.
Virgos will see themselves in the Roloffs of Small People, Big World. They are determined to succeed in a society made for taller individuals and so they have to work twice as hard to reach their goals: raising their loving children and operating Roloff Farms, a sprawling 34-acre farm in Oregon. The Roloffs' accomplishments teach hard truths: for little people, every day is a challenge, and running your own business has heavy financial burdens.
Libra - The Voice
The Scales symbolize this sign's dedication to fairness and peace, done with diplomacy. They like harmony and equality and detest injustice. Partnership is also very important to a Libra, as is constant mental stimulation.
The fairness factor of The Voice comes from the blind auditions, where judges hear but don't see the performances, basing their decision about whether they want to mentor a singer purely on their sound, not looks. Once they partner with a performer, the coaches help them get to the top of their game. The judges may joke and tease each other, but unlike other talent shows, they don't insult the contestants for sport.
Scorpio - The Real Housewives
Resourceful and brave, Scorpions are true friends and you will have them for a very long time and can trust them with your secrets. They are leaders, and won't give up until they get the truth about any given situation.
Even though Real Housewives cast members have changed in each franchise over the seasons, the OGs have been friends/frenemies for a long time and gone through marriages, divorces and day-to-day dramas together. They do keep each other's secrets, but often relish when someone else exposes something about a castmate because watching a table get flipped can be fun. Say what you will about their often questionable behavior, but these are some of the most driven, resourceful women on TV, brave enough to bare it all.
Sagittarius - Below Deck
The Archer is generous and has a great sense of humor, loves the freedom that comes from traveling and being outdoors. Their open-mindedness motivates these extroverts to wander the world and they will do anything to achieve their goals.
Below Deck will take Sagittarians where they want to go -- out and about in the world. This show chronicles the lives of the crew members who work and reside aboard a superyacht during charter season, traveling everywhere from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, Tahiti, Greece, Thailand and beyond. And to deal with each other as well as their clients, everyone needs to keep their sense of humor.
Capricorn - Shark Tank
These masters of self-control get to the top based solely on their experience and expertise because they possess an inner state of independence that enables significant progress, both in their personal and professional lives.
The entrepreneurial spirit of Shark Tank must have had Capricorns in mind. These independent thinkers, who are brave enough to pitch their ideas and products to mega-business tycoons, hoping for backing, have to keep their emotions in check, whether they're rejected or make a deal because, in business, you need to keep calm and carry on.
Aquarius - Property Brothers
Deep thinking and highly intellectual, these water-bearers are progressive and original, as well as good listeners. Like Geminis, they have two personalities: shy and quiet, as well as eccentric and energetic. In either mode, they're people who solve problems.
The Property Brothers -- twins Drew and Jonathan Scott -- offer the best of both worlds. Drew is a real estate expert who scouts neglected houses and uses his astute business skills to negotiate their purchases. Jonathan, a licensed contractor, uses his vision and DIY talent to renovate the homes. Together they help families find, buy, and transform fixer-uppers into dream homes on a strict timeline and budget.
Pisces - The Masked Singer
Artistic, intuitive, and wise, the Fish sign favors music as their creative outlet. They are friendly and enjoy the company of very different types of people, who they are always willing to help because they're very empathetic.
The Masked Singer was made for the creative appreciation of a Pisces. The contestants, as well as the judges, are all diverse in backgrounds and personalities, it's a friendly and fun endeavor, the costumes are works of art, and the judges, as well as viewers, have to use their intuition as well as critical thinking to follow the clues as to whom is behind the mask. Most importantly, the show is about music, music, music.
