The Full Bounty.
It had its moments, but nowhere near as good as the first 2 seasons.

Early-mid 00s Fox reality lineup is on the shortlist for the best stretch of network TV of the last 30 years.
Fox really wnt back to its roots as sort of a renegade network diluting that time, but instead of an all black sketch show or AL Bundy, they went with the most over the top reality show premises that were actually more fwmw show/train wreck cons than anything else.
Just off the top of my head, while CBS was airing Survivor and Big Brother (so-called classy shows) Fox had this:
Joe Schmo Show
Jow Millionaire
The Simple Life
Temptation Island
Paradise Hotel
The Princes of Malibu
The Swan
So, to recount, the network introduced the world to Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, and half the cast of The Hills.
All that while American Idol was the biggest show on television in years and was routinely drawing 20-30 million viewers a night. Unreal.

I remember thinking we are about to see a new golden age in television after watching Joe Schmo because it was so brilliant. Then reality tv just got bastardized like everything else. It was the pinnacle.

That show was amazing
I remember watching it live...and you thought it would kill reality shows because it dumped on them as fake and stupid, instead the opposite happened...so what happened, the audience became the Joe Schmos for years to come.

Don’t care for reality shows in general, but Joe Schmo was great.

Joe Schmo was on Spike.

3rd season was better than 2nd season because Lorenzo Lamas was hysterical and the deaf chick was a hottie
But the first season was GOAT tier TV

Didn’t Private Lemon win?
Anyway, CBS sued Boot Camp because it had a vote off at the end of each episode and they said that was stolen from Survivor. Suit failed.
Don’t forget The Mole (first season, anyway).

That's what I thought as well. Wasn't Fox.

I know this is a deep bump, but I just finished re-watching 1 and 2 on Youtube in advance of the new season.
I honestly do think this might be the GOAT - including the 2nd season.
How did I not even know about the 3rd? Starting it today.
Some of the gals are truly fire - especially the brunette from 1 and the "bachelorette" from 2.
I also thought the original female mark from 2 - Ingrid - was super attractive also.
I had completely forgotten that Natasha Legero was on 2 (in addition to Wiig on 1).

I’m gonna re watch it soon.
First season is an absolute must watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

But 2 doesn't deserve any hate. They really rolled wit the punches on that one.
I just started 3 and it's actually pretty good. Anyone watched the new one yet?
