VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton

Crazy storylines, fabricated conflicts, false drama: all that is what makes this genre of programming one of the most popular things since sliced bread, and there have been a ton of shows that have reinvented the proverbial wheel. To celebrate the premiere episode of the 16th season of "Dancing with the Stars," http://www.WatchMojo.com is counting down our picks for the top 10 reality shows.
