Before prestige streaming, we gathered around the telly to boo, gasp and text in our votes. Rank these golden ages of gloriously trashy British reality TV by how much you'd binge them tonight.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Big Brother's Nasty Nick Era
When a bloke scribbling on paper was national news and Davina McCall shouting outside a house felt like Shakespeare. Peak Britain, honestly.
The X Factor Sob Story Years
Dead nans, dreams, and dramatic key changes on a Saturday night. We all pretended to hate it while voting from three phones.
Made in Chelsea's Champagne Wars
Trust fund children crying into Aperol Spritzes about someone called Binky. Somehow more compelling than actual news.

Geordie Shore Carnage
Charlotte, Gaz and enough JΓ€gerbombs to sink a cruise ship. A cultural document of Britain nobody asked for but everyone watched.
Love Island's Villa Meltdowns
Grafting, mugging off, and the phrase 'my type on paper' entering the national vocabulary. Summer wasn't summer without it.
Drag the photo to reorder
Should the UK ban private school tax breaks and use the money to fund state schools?
