It's been a while since I ran a game, so since we all seem to be going nowhere for the next few weeks, I thought we could use a replacement bracket for the canceled NCAA March Madness Basketball Tournament.
I skimmed through all the threads to get a list of the more popular reality shows we have discussed over the past 20 (has it been that long?) years. Then I added some of the older shows I could remember. I was worried I would not have 64 shows for a full bracket, but in the end I had to drop about 15 to get down to 64.
I then arbitrarily ranked them and split them in to 4 brackets. North, South, East and West. I was thinking I would post a bracket for a couple days and people could pick their favorite show from the various match ups for Round 1. At some point I would close voting, post the winning shows for that round for that bracket and then post the next bracket. After all 4 brackets have been voted on, we would move to Round 2.
Like the real tournament, this could take a while. But that's kind of the point. I'll post images for the 4 brackets and then open the voting for the first bracket. I'll leave this one open for several days to give people time to find it. Hopefully there will be many people voting. Tell your friends in other threads and/or post a link.
No arguing or complaining about the match ups or rankings. I was completely biased but also equally clueless on about 1/3rd of the shows

You guys are picking the winner. It's not so much a predict the winner as everybody vote for their favorite. Whichever of the pair gets more votes moves on to round two. By the end we will see who everybody's favorite show is.
So, not perfect but it may get people remembering and talking about some of the old shows we used to talk about a long time ago.

I loved Flav of Love, wish it was paired with something besides BB!
1: Big Brother
9: Beauty and The Geek
5: So You Think You Can Dance
4: Project Runway
3: The Mole...ohhh how I miss this show!
6: Iron Chef but Swan was a cool concept
7: Extreme Makeover Home
Since I work for the Assessor, I always think of how much these poor people's property taxes are going to rise after these makeovers!

1. Big Brother
8. Fixer Upper (Never heard of the other show)
5. So you think you can dance
4. Project Runway this one was hard. Loved Real World the first seasons, but then it went down hill. PR has had some bad seasons, but I'd still watch it and hung in there and it got better again.
14. Real HW of BH. Loved the mole, hate Real HW of OC, but I'm hanging in with BH. The season coming up might be my last if it sucks, or if they will ever film again.
6. Iron chef. I loved the original ones. The US ones not so much. Never heard of the Black Swan
10. Biggest loser
2. Voice. Refuse to watch Dugger family

Grooch, I felt the same way about the Real World. I think I just out grew it. I loved loved loved the 1st few years!
Kar, I loved Beauty and the Geek. A couple of the guys go to Reality Rally all the time. I became friends with one of the guys. Dennis, he is hysterical and so funny. He has costumes for every occasion. David Olson from the show showed me how to do hashtags on Twitter years ago
