And check out the full, updated bracket here.

Let’s remind you of just a few highlights from each show:

Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica
The chicken/tuna debate, camping, the furniture move, the Cabo race-track, doggie Daisy gets a trainer, buffalo wings, Jessica trying to do laundry, house decorating (and cleaning) squabbles…

The Surreal Life
Janice and Omarosa’s knife incident, Verne Troyer’s drunk night, anything involving Ron Jeremy, Flavor Flav and Brigitte in the hot tub, Charo’s meltdown(s), Tammy Faye faces the nudist colony, and just the surreal fact that Corey Feldman, MC Hammer and Webster had to live in a house together…

    While I enjoyed the Newlyweds, I am more ashamed to admit that I watched the Surreal Life on a regular basis – and that’s the defintion of a guilty pleaseure.

      Absolutely agree!

  • Diggity

    Surreal life is like the granddaddy of all the VH1 shows.

    Surreal Life, no contest. Newlyweds had a few “OMG she can’t be that stupid/vapid/self-centered” moments but SL is an amazing mix of people who want to be back in the limelight so badly they were willing to not only live with other “has-beens” but COMPETE to see who is the “least has-been.” That’s the definition of “can’t tear yourself away” TV. What I was always surprised about was some I thought would be huge ego jerks turned out to be sincerely kind and caring (and vice-versa of course.) I love watching who turned into the “parents” of the house and who were the “spoiled brats!” When is another season coming–Lindsay it’s time for your close-up girl!

    Verne Troyer getting drunk, riding his scooter nude and peeing in a corner.
    “Verne, that’s not the toilet baby.”
