10 Reality TV Shows That Give Us Major Throwback Vibes

While many reality TV shows have been discontinued over the years, there are many making a comeback or are having spinoffs that bring back original casts or hosts. These shows are satisfying our need for times past and are giving us a chance to relive the memories. Check out these 10 reality tv shows that are giving us major throwback vibes.

1. RuPaul’s All Stars

RuPaul’s All Stars brings back the best drag queens from previous seasons of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” While many did well in their seasons, they have a chance to be a part of the Hall of Fame. The show features themes each week and a tough competition.

2. Trading Spaces

“Trading Spaces” first aired on TLC in 2000 and was taken off the air in 2008. The show returned to TLC this year with host Paige Davis, who was the host of the original show. The concept of the show, families trading houses to remodel, remains the same,

3. American Idol

“American Idol” was canceled by Fox back in 2016 but has been picked up by ABC. Despite it being aired on a new network, the show’s concept of a singing competition remains the same. Ryan Seacrest is still the host, reminding us of old times with the show.

4. Fear Factor

Fear Factor made its return last year. It aired on NBC from 2001-2006 and again from 2011-2012 and was hosted by Joe Rogan. Now, the revival is airing on MTV with Ludacris as the host. Unlike the original, which was a competition, the revival gives kids a chance to overcome their fears.

5. TRL

“Total Request Live” was originally aired on MTV in 1998 but was taken off the air in 2008. Through the years, there have been several hosts. The show is returning to MTV on April 23, 2018, and will air on weekdays at 4 p.m.

6. Bachelor Winter Games

The “Bachelor Winter Games” is a spinoff of “The Bachelor.” The show will feature a dozen bachelors and bachelorettes from previous seasons and will include people from the international versions of the show.

7. Bug Juice

The original “Bug Juice” ran on Disney Channel for three seasons from 1998 to 2001. The revival will return to Maine to follow and document a group of kids at Camp Waziyata. In each season of the original, a different camp was chosen, and this camp was one of them.

9. Bridezillas

The original “Bridezillas” aired on We TV from 2004 to 2013 over a series of 10 seasons. The revival, to be aired on We TV this year, will have the same premise of the original: document brides who become high maintenance over the course of their wedding planning.

This reality series documents five gay men giving wardrobe upgrades to (typically) straight men. While it was originally aired on Bravo and was taken off the air 2000, Netflix has new episodes now.
