Survivor: Gabon’s Crystal Cox (Sort of) Admits to Steroid Use
by David Bloomberg
| |
|
Remember Crystal from Survivor: Gabon? She was the gold medal winner who couldn’t perform in a challenge to save her life. Maybe now we know why, as she has admitted to using steroids during her Olympic years – and then she immediately said she didn’t really mean it when she admitted it. What is going on? And how does this relate to her ending up here in the Reality TV Hall of Shame? |

Hall of Shame Moment: Globetrotters Fail to Live Up to Their Name on The Amazing Race 15
by Jenn Brasler
| |
|
Herb & Nate (better known as Flight Time & Big Easy), the Harlem Globetrotters, were two of the most competitive racers in the 15th season of The Amazing Race – until they were faced with a task that Nate thought he just couldn’t finish. He chose to take a four-hour penalty, even though he had already spent a great deal of time on the task and the guys were fighting to stay out of last place – and in the race. In addition to just missing out on the final fight for the million-dollar prize, the Globetrotters earned themselves a Reality TV Hall of Shame Moment. |

Big Brother 9’s winner, Adam (right), indicated at the finale of the show that he was planning to donate a chunk of his winnings to the charity group that had employed him (not realizing he’d already been fired!) because he wanted to help children. Instead, a federal agent is now saying Adam used part of that money to buy drugs, which he then was arrested for selling! What’s the current scoop? |

The Epitome of Bat-Poo Insane: Big Brother 11’s Chima
by William Hammon
| |
|
She called herself outspoken, but was in fact just loud. She said she was a strong woman, when at best she was a diva and a spoiled child. The show said she was one of the Brains, yet she sabotaged her own game, which is incredibly stupid. She claimed to be real, but just turned out to be real nuts. Chima Simone earned her spot here in the Reality TV Hall of Shame! |

Reality TV Hall of Shame Moment: Big Brother 11’s Braden Slurs His Speech
by William Hammon
| |
|
It’s common to see a Big Brother contestant do something incredibly stupid on the show, which contributes in large part to their eviction. When that happens, they often end up here. It’s also not unheard of for a contestant to utter phrases and epitaphs that offend the majority of ears, especially if there’s some mitigating factor compounding it. When that happens, they often end up here. Braden, the first evictee of Big Brother 11, earns his place as he falls into both categories. Read on for all the details. |

The Dumbest Survivor Ever – Survivor: Micronesia’s Erik Throws Away His Game
by David Bloomberg
| |
|
It was a moment that will go down in Survivor – and indeed all of reality TV – history. Erik won immunity and was only one step away from making it to the final three and facing the jury for a million dollars. And then he gave it away and was immediately voted out. The will probably never be another person who so clearly needs to be inducted into the Reality TV Hall of Shame for such strategic stupidity. |

The Worst of the Worst: Big Brother 9’s Joshuah Receives a Full Hall of Shame Induction
by David Bloomberg
| |
|
Most viewers believe this bunch of Big Brother players is among the worst the show has seen. But Joshuah was the worst of the bunch, with his vile behavior getting so bad that CBS didn’t even air most of it. His verbal attacks were made only worse by his hypocrisy and claims that he’s really a nice guy. The Joshuah we saw certainly was not a nice guy – in fact, he was shameful. |

Stirring Up His Own Eviction: Big Brother 9’s Jacob
by David Bloomberg
| |
|
Usually to get evicted from the Big Brother house, a contestant has to be nominated by the Head of Household and then voted out by a majority of the housemates. But the first eviction in the ninth season came from the sole choice of the Power Couple. It would make sense, then, to kiss up to that couple, right? Not so for Jacob, who chose to insult one of them instead. Just how clueless is he? Enough to be inducted into the Reality TV Hall of Shame. |
