1. Who Wants To Marry A U.S. Citizen? (2007)
 "Who Wants to Marry a U.S. Citizen?"   was a show devised by Morusa Media in California in 2007, which by the   end of that year had already come up with the first pool of  contestants  and a host signed up. The idea? A lucky, single American woman   goes on dates with three handsome but illegal immigrants and at the  end  picks one with which to spend the rest of her life. Sounds like a  fun  way to get a green card but  the  producers made no promises that a marriage would occur or lead to  U.S.  citizenship. The host, Angelo Gonzales argued: 'There are  thousands of  US citizens  seeking a spouse,  and just as many immigrants seeking the same. So we  want to make it a  win-win situation for all involved'. Oh, well.  
2. The Littlest Groom (2004)
 
 "The  Littlest Groom" was a weak attempt at a stand out among dating  shows —  think "The Bachelor" – on a smaller scale: a dozen dwarf women   competing with average-sized females for the affections of a   4-foot-5-inch bachelor. It had very little success.  
 
3. Bad Dads (2008) 
"Bad  Dads" was Fox's project for 2008 and was meant to tap the power of  its  unscripted division for the forces of good. The network had ordered a   pilot from 3Ball Productions in which an avenger of penniless single   mothers hunts down deadbeat dads and humiliates them into paying child   support with the cameras running.   Of course the show had a zillion critics before even getting it pilot.   According to the protesters, the worst part about Bad Dads was the way   it would publicly humiliate children of divorce parents by depicting   their fathers as not loving or caring for them. These children did not   volunteer to be humiliated on national television.  
 
4. Wolfboy: Divorced and Looking for Love (2009)
31 year old Larry Ramos Gomez, who performs daredevil acrobat   acts with his brother Danny, suffers from a condition known as   hypertrichosis,  as a result, his face is full of hair. Better known as   Wolfboy, Gomez was recently approached by a company called Zoo   Productions and asked him to star in a dating show sensitively titled Wolfboy: Divorced and Looking for Love,   in which he will be filmed attempting to find his soulmate. But of   course, Zoo Productions denied all accusations relating to the   exploitation of Gomez's condition. It's just a regular man trying to   find some true love… in front of an audience, obviously.  
 
5. Mr. Personality (2003) 
The  reality show hosted by the famous political bimbo Monica Lewinsky  was  truly absurd. In the show, one woman chooses her perfect mate –  sight  unseen, courtesy of dorky masks — by personality alone. Yeah,  Monica  Lewinsky was the perfect girl for the job, since she certainly  choose  the president for his persona.  
 
6. The Real Housewives of Orange County (2006-present)
The  show's title and introduction alludes to the ABC show "Desperate   Housewives" as well as the Fox teen drama "The OC" and touts itself as   these two fictional shows' "real-life" counterpart. Basically this real   life show is like watching 5 Dinah Lohan' s ruin their kids lives while   trying to appear trendy and famous. But for some reason, people can't   get enough of this one. Super rich vapid housewives… who would think   anyone would care?  
 
7. Temptation Island (2001-2003) 

The concept of the show was based on four unmarried couples with relationship problems   who were thrust onto an island to test their supposed monogamy. We  have  seen worst love reality shows after that, although Temptation  Island  was actually pretty controversial in its time. Believe it or  not, it  actually got three seasons on TV.  
 
8. Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire? (2000) 

"Who  Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?" was Fox's reality show in  which  50 women competed to be an unknown multi-millionaire's bride who  was  revealed to be Rick Rockwell, whom they did not see except in   silhouette. He selected Conger and married her on the spot. Shortly   after the series, reports surfaced that Rockwell had failed to disclose   to the series producers that a former girlfriend of his filed a   restraining order against him for domestic violence. Questions were also   raised as to whether Rockwell was actually a multi-millionaire. FOX   stated that Rockwell had $750,000 in liquid assets and a net worth just   more than $2 million.
According to the winner, the marriage was never consummated.  
 
9. Pink Lady (1980) 

For  those who don't remember, "Pink Lady" was a short-lived variety show   that aired for four weeks on NBC in 1980, starring the musical duo of   the same name. The series starred this Japanese female singing duo,   which comprised two singers, Mie and Kei, and American   comedian Jeff Altman. The format of the show consisted of musical   numbers alternating with sketch comedy. The running gag of the series   was the girls' lack of understanding of American culture and the English   language (in reality, Pink Lady did not speak fluent English). Jeff   would then attempt to translate and explain the meaning of things which   led to more confusion.The series also featured Pink Lady performing   various songs (usually English-language disco and pop songs such as   "Boogie Wonderland" or "Yesterday", which the duo sang in English) along   with interaction with celebrity and musical guests. 
The best part of the show? The group would end each episode by jumping into a hot tub together. The series was canceled after five episodes, thankfully.   
 
 
 
10. Boy Meets Boy (2003) 
You  would expect that the first same-sex dating show would do some   revolution on TV. Instead, viewers watched gay bachelor James Getzlaff   romance 15 men; unknown to him, where half of them were just pretending   to be gay and would win a prize when they got chosen. People who  watched  the series considered it cruel, offensive, and worst of all,  boring.
