Good, Bad and Ugly: The Decade in Reality TV

Survivor, 2000 - Present: Take a group of people, strand them on a deserted island with limited rations of food, offer an epic cash prize for the last one standing, and you've got TV gold. The first season brought America a classic villain in the form of Richard Hatch, while the second season introduced us to a young Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
