Vanderpump Rules is one of the most talked-about <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-reality-shows/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">reality TV shows</a>, and the controversial cast is a large part of that. Who are the most popular Vanderpump Rules cast members?

Ariana Madix is perhaps one of the most popular, especially since season 10&rsquo;s &ldquo;Scandoval,&rdquo; in which fans found out that her longtime boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, had been cheating on her with fellow Vanderpump Rules star, Raquel Leviss. Both of the Toms - Sandoval and Schwartz - are very popular, especially if you ask Lisa Vanderpump, the orbit around which all of the other cast members revolve. There&rsquo;s also those personalities that you love to hate, like Jax Taylor.&nbsp;

There are big personalities on every version of&nbsp;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-real-housewives-of-all-time/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Real Housewives</a>, but the New Jersey spin-off&nbsp;is one of the more confrontational. Some people might love the dramatic arguments,&nbsp;while others find it off-putting. Who do you think are the least likable cast members of&nbsp;The Real Housewives of New Jersey?

Danielle Staub and Teresa Giudice are two people that definitely top the list. They were both involved in the infamous table flip argument. You can tell Teresa likes to fight, seeing as she also has a feud with Jacqueline Laurita and her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga. On the other hand, viewers dislike Kathy Wakile for her lack of a confrontational nature, finding her penchant for passive-aggressive behavior off-putting. Caroline Manzo is another housewife who has found herself in hot water for being outspoken, and meddling in everyone&#39;s lives.&nbsp;

The Challenge

There are a lot of larger-than-life personalities on&nbsp;The Challenge, so it&#39;s no surprise some of them have earned the title of &quot;most disliked.&quot; Some might have lost favor with fans due to shady game moves, while others just had personalities that rubbed people the wrong way. Who do you think are the most disliked cast members of&nbsp;The Challenge?

Johnny &quot;Bananas&quot; Devenanzio is one of the polarizing personalities of&nbsp;the popular competion series, who has both a lot of fans, and a lot of haters. He is arguably one of the best participants due to his impressive record of seven&nbsp;Challenge&nbsp;wins. However, he also often starts drama in the house, and memorably took money from partner Sarah Rice, rather than share the winnings they had earned together. Jordan Wiseley is another strong competitor whose mouth gets him in trouble. Amanda Garcia and Frank Sweeney are also known for their explosive arguments with other competitors, while Ashley Mitchell, Camila Nakagawa, and Tony Raines are known for violent outbursts where they break and throw things, and/or threaten other people.&nbsp;

Survivor

There have been lots of big personalities and hot tempers among the cast members of&nbsp;Survivor&nbsp;throughout the seasons, so it&#39;s no surprise that some contestants have cultivated the ire of Survivor&nbsp;fans. Who do you think&nbsp;is the most-disliked cast member of&nbsp;Survivor?

Russell Hantz from&nbsp;Survivor: Samoa, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Survivor: Redemption Island&nbsp;certainly comes to mind. He&#39;s made it to the final tribal council twice, but he has never won, likely because of his ruthless gameplay, that involves lying, backstabbing, and having no regard for others&#39; feelings. This list isn&#39;t necessarily about the &quot;villains&quot; of the game, but contestants that often receive a lot of hate from viewers - whether that is warranted or not. Some contestants are disliked because of poor sportsmanship, like Colton Cumbie and NaOnka Mixon, who ended up quitting the game. It&#39;s easy to see how some contestants have lost favor from fans, like Dan Spilo, who had to be removed for many allegations of inappropriate touching of his castmates.

Vanderpump Rules

When it comes to the cast members people love to hate,&nbsp;Vanderpump Rules&nbsp;certainly has a lot of options. That&#39;s not to say all of the hate is justified, though it&#39;s not hard to understand why fans would dislike Tom Sandoval amid the infamous &quot;Scandoval.&quot;

This list isn&#39;t about the villains of the series, per se, but the cast members that fans of the show simply love to hate - whether valid or not. Raquel Leviss has gained a ton of notoriety after the &quot;Scandoval,&quot; seeing as she was having a secret relationship with her best friend&#39;s boyfriend. Scandalous flings&nbsp;seem to be a reason behind the hate for a lot of these big personalities, as Lala Kent has faced heat due to having been involved with Raquel&#39;s ex-boyfriend, James Kennedy, who is also on this list.&nbsp;

Meghan King caused a stir investigating Brooks Ayers&#39; cancer claims in season 10, which impressed some fans, but came across as off-putting to others, who felt she had overstepped boundaries. Lydia McLaughlin upsets some viewers for playing innocent while causing trouble, and for using her religion in arguments to make it seem like she&#39;s better than everyone else. Tamra Judge and Vicki Gunvalson are two other housewives who get themselves into trouble with their feisty attitudes and penchant for confrontation.

Bravo

Bravo fans know that there plenty of&nbsp;Below Deck&nbsp;cast members with big personalities, but some of them are definitely more polarizing than others. Who do you think are the most-disliked cast members of&nbsp;Below Deck?

Trevor Walker certainly comes to mind, seeing as he was fired by Captain Lee Rosbach. His arrogant attitude and disrespectful behavior earned him ire from fellow cast members and viewers alike. Chef Mila Kolomeitseva&#39;s reputation also precedes her. She couldn&#39;t meet the standards for charter guests, but also made homophobic remarks that upset her castmates and viewers. Some cast members are known for their arguments with other cast members, like Kate Chastain. Bruno Duarte and Laura Betancourt both have memorable arguments with her. Stars like Bobby Giancola lost favor with fans because of bad behavior, like being inappropriate with women on board.

Selling Sunset

Mary Fitzgerald is on this list thanks to her close relationship with Jason Oppenheim, because the other agents believe he shows her favoritism. Maya Vander has been met with mixed reactions from fans of the show, thanks to her blunt remarks, as well as for the fact that she splits her time between Los Angeles and a different firm in Miami. Chrishell Stause can be seen as polarizing, because people either respect her being open about her divorce from actor Justin Hartley, or believe she shared details just to be attention-seeking.

The Next Big Thing

Reality show competitions and judges are two things that go together like peas and carrots. Without a judge, it&#39;s nearly impossible to have a competition. On some shows, the dynamic between the judges is almost as interesting to watch as the contestants. When American Idol first hit the airwaves in 2003, viewers were curious to watch people sing for a recording contract, but it was the special chemistry between Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, and Simon Cowell, who was also a judge on the British singing competition <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-x-factor-winners/ranker-tv/" target="_blank">The X-Factor</a>, that drew viewers back week after week. Cowell in particular was able to build an entire empire based on the public persona he crafted on Idol.

Similarly to Idol, the judge teams on America&#39;s Got Talent, and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-singing-competition-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">singing competitions</a> like&nbsp;The Voice help make those shows popular. After all, when else will you be able to see Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel hang out together. The same goes for Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Blake Shelton, and a rotating cast of judges. The faces of the contestants may change, but the judges for the most part stay the same. Some <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-black-game-show-hosts-reality-tv-judges/ranker-tv" target="_blank">reality show judges like Tyra Banks</a>, have been the judges for over 20 consecutive seasons of a show.

Here&#39;s your chance to vote for the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-reality-shows/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best reality show</a> judge. There are plenty of reality TV judges to choose from so select the judges who you think should sit atop this Ultimate List.

(Diaz-Twine took the prize in &quot;Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains&quot; which pit two tribes of returning players against one another.)The American show &quot;Survivor&quot; - which debuted in the summer of 2000 on CBS - is based on the Swedish TV series &quot;Expedition Robinson&quot; which was originally aired in 1997. The <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-reality-competition?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">reality competition show</a> begins with a group of strangers placed in an isolated location (often tropical). Often, these contestants are split into teams (called &quot;tribes&quot;). They must then figure out how to survive in the harsh environment - finding food and water, building shelter, and so forth - while competing against the other team in challenges to earn rewards. Competitions also determine which contestants will receive &quot;immunity,&quot; meaning they cannot be expelled from the game by their fellow contestants for that week. The season's champion is typically determined by a jury made up of contestants who have been voted off, and receives a $1 million prize.&quot;Survivor&quot; seasons have been set all around the world, including Africa, Borneo, Thailand, The Amazon, Palau, the Cook Islands and China. The 23rd and 24th seasons were both set in Upolu, Samoa.So who is the greatest Survivor winner of all time?

Most Annoying

The most annoying TV hosts include reality TV presenters, game show hosts and both morning and late-night talk show hosts. Each person on this list is considered, at least by some, to be abrasive and/or generally irritating. Not everyone's going to agree, of course, and that's why this is a VoteRanked list: You vote for the TV hosts that you find the most annoying, and vote down those you actually like. Also, if a particular host that annoys you isn't listed, feel free to add them.No list of annoying television hosts would be complete without the reality television presenters such as Ryan Seacrest,&nbsp;Survivor host Jeff Probst and Chris Harrison, host of ABC's The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.&nbsp;And then there's the talk show hosts! Larry King could certainly be annoying, but what about his CNN prime-time replacement, Piers Morgan. And what about the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Nancy Grace, Bill O'Reilly, Matt Lauer and yes, even Katie Couric. Does she deserve a gold star for being annoying on the most different networks!And from the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-late-night-shows/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">late night talk show</a> arena? Do hosts likeChelsea Handler, Jay Leno, Craig Ferguson, and -- gasp -- Conan O'Brien deserve to rank high on the list? Everyone's entitled to an opinion. Now have yours!&nbsp;

TVs Frank

Reality shows are stupid. No one's really denying it at this point. Yet they continue to prove massively popular - if arguably not as huge as they once were at the height of the reality craze. These days, with the ascension of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-episodes-of-toddlers-and-tiaras/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Toddlers and Tiaras</a>, Jersey Shore, and many more, one could argue that the genre has sunk to a new and previously unexplored low point. A valley many would probably have thought didn't even exist in the early 2000s, when reality TV's worst crimes seemed to be limited to insulting the audience's intelligence and making Jesse Camp famous.From Celebrity Apprentice, to Duck Dynasty and Hoarders, and even that one (and by &quot;one&quot; we mean 17) about how the contestants are totally not here to make friends, this is a rundown of the stupidest, most banal, most shrill, truly bad, and just stupidest reality shows ever made. If you've ever wondered &quot;Could any show be more repetitive and pointless than America's Next Top Model?&quot; this is the list for you.These are the worst reality shows ever, in all time, for all of TV history. Vote up the stupid reality shows that made TV worse by existing.
