Reality TV

If Bachelor Nation had&nbsp;a king, it would be&nbsp;Mike Fleiss, creator and executive producer of&nbsp;ABC's matchmaking juggernauts&nbsp;The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and&nbsp;Bachelor&nbsp;in Paradise. But while current and former&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/life-for-bachelor-bachelorette-contestants/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">Bachelor&nbsp;and&nbsp;Bachelorette&nbsp;contestants</a>&nbsp;have earned most of the media attention, Fleiss has&nbsp;made enough waves in his personal and professional life to rack up serious press as well. &nbsp;Learn more about the shows created by Mike Fleiss -&nbsp;some forgettable, many controversial -&nbsp;as well as <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-sleep/coy-jandreau?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">things you never knew</a> about the reality TV mogul.

The Great British Bake Off

At first glance, there's nothing particularly thrilling about&nbsp;The Great British Bake Off. Lacking the flashy lights and complicated gimmicks of most <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jersey-shore-behind-the-scenes/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">American reality TV</a> and&nbsp;food competition shows, this quiet BBC export — formally licensed as&nbsp;The Great British Baking Show in the US —&nbsp;comes off as more&nbsp;adorable than addicting. Despite&nbsp;first impressions, though, GBBO has gained an enthusiastic following since its premiere season in 2010, first in the UK and,&nbsp;largely thanks to Netflix,&nbsp;all over the world.The premise is delightfully uncomplicated: a cast of kind, helpful, relentlessly optimistic,&nbsp;amateur bakers meet in a huge tent in the English countryside every weekend, and whoever bakes&nbsp;the best gets to stick around. That's&nbsp;it —&nbsp;and as television fare,&nbsp;it's pretty refreshing.GBBO is so simple, in fact, that it's easy to feel robbed of&nbsp;the inside scoop. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stories-about-americas-next-top-model/carly-silver" target="_blank">On-set secrets</a> aren't spilling off the pages of tabloids and there are&nbsp;no two-hour finale specials <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/room-raiders-behind-the-scenes/crystal-brackett" target="_blank">revealing production's inner&nbsp;workings</a>.&nbsp;Nevertheless, people are still&nbsp;hungry for&nbsp;Great British Bake Off&nbsp;stories and have gone digging for those sweet,&nbsp;behind-the-scenes morsels.
