00:00You roll in her eyes and you act like this because you've heard it all before.
00:03You've heard it all before.
00:03You don't know where the hell I come from.
00:05Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:07And today, we're counting down our picks for the times when reality TV got too real too fast.
00:13You all think that you can come in here and say these things.
00:16Are you kidding me?
00:16This is ridiculous.
00:19Number 10.
00:20Reality Von Teese Revealed.
00:22The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
00:25You got caught on security footage in Meredith's store when we stole the clutch.
00:31That was you and you have a different.
00:35Unbeknownst to anyone, Monica Garcia joined the cast of Salt Lake City with a secret.
00:41As one of the people behind a notorious Instagram troll account that had gone after several of the
00:46cast members, she infiltrated the group and it all came out during a fateful dinner.
00:51You have been lying to my face.
00:54I have not been lying to your face.
00:55Monica, for three months you have sat here with us and not told us the truth.
01:00We understand it's about deception.
01:03You f****** deceived all of us.
01:05Heather Gay's now iconic diatribe against her was just the beginning.
01:09Gay had an entire case against Garcia and all the lies came tumbling out.
01:15I have your perfect formula.
01:17Deceits, truth, timeline, screenshots.
01:22When all was revealed, the entire cast dropped her like a hot potato
01:26and it was all captured on camera.
01:28It was Real Housewives meets Law and Order.
01:31Pack your bags and go.
01:34Number nine.
01:35The Note, Jersey Shore.
01:37That's what makes me sick because somebody wrote me that note and nobody can open up their mouth.
01:40I'm pretty sure it wasn't the guys.
01:42I didn't write it.
01:42For as many fights as they had, the cast of MTV's controversial series
01:46rallied together when things got bad.
01:49In a notorious season one moment,
01:51Nicole Snooki Polizzi was punched by another bar patron
01:55and her cast mates rushed to her defense.
02:01But this closeness had its downsides.
02:04When Snooki, Angelina, and JWoww left an anonymous note for Sammy
02:08telling her that her boyfriend Ronnie was cheating on her,
02:11it caused more harm than they could have imagined.
02:14Why can't you just man up and say you wrote the note?
02:16What are you, a little b****?
02:17Like you have nothing to say?
02:18What are you scared of?
02:20Sammy has a hard time seeing it as a friendly gesture,
02:23and she and JWoww even came to blows over it.
02:27Who wrote the note?
02:27You two.
02:29For someone that begged, begged, begged to like all the girls in the house,
02:32if you know something, tell me.
02:33If you know something, tell me.
02:34If you know something, tell me.
02:36Number eight.
02:37La Ganja Feels Very Attacked.
02:39RuPaul's Drag Race Untucked.
02:41No, I am annoying.
02:42I am fake.
02:43I'm not who I'm being.
02:44I'm pretending to be somebody I'm not.
02:46Season six of the drag competition show had a stacked cast.
02:50This included some of the most colorful personalities
02:53the show has seen before or since.
02:56La Ganja Estranja was a young queen
02:58who inspired a lot of conversation about her personality.
03:01Her castmates felt she was pretending for the cameras.
03:04When they confronted her about this on Untucked,
03:06it led to an all-out breakdown.
03:08It's a little cheap of you to come for me
03:10when I'm already really down, but no surprise there.
03:12You know what? I don't know what you're experiencing.
03:14I only know what you tell me.
03:15As more and more queens offered their opinion,
03:18La Ganja clearly felt like she was getting it from all sides,
03:21leading to an iconic quote.
03:23I feel very attacked!
03:25Watching the persona she was being taken to task for
03:28fall away completely
03:29remains one of drag race's most dramatic moments.
03:32Hit it, girl. Hit it.
03:33Because you know what?
03:34If that's what you need to do to feel better about yourself, go for it.
03:36Number seven.
03:37Aviva's Leg.
03:39The Real Housewives of New York City.
03:41I understand your position,
03:43because in fact, I've been lied to.
03:46She may have only lasted two seasons,
03:48but Aviva Drescher left her mark
03:50on The Real Housewives of New York City
03:52in her very last regular episode.
03:55You have actually been a horrific person to me, just so you know.
03:58Drescher had instigated so much drama with her co-stars
04:01that it almost seemed like she was trying to get off the show.
04:04In her final act,
04:06she stirred up conflict in Le Cirque Restaurant.
04:09Let me tell you something, Heather.
04:10The only thing-
04:11Keep it together, Aviva.
04:12The only thing that is artificial or fake about me.
04:17At the height of the drama,
04:18she detaches her prosthetic leg and slams it on the table,
04:22declaring it the only fake thing about her.
04:29I'm sick of it.
04:31I am sick of you all accusing me.
04:34It became an instant viral sensation.
04:37Drescher knew what she was doing.
04:39Since the episode aired,
04:40she's since come clean that she'd essentially planned the stunt.
04:43Whether it was the most authentic moment or not,
04:46it's a classic one.
04:47Heather, why don't you take it?
04:48I'll crawl home.
04:49Here, go ahead.
04:51Go ahead, Heather.
04:54Number six.
04:55New York lets Omarosa have it.
04:58House of Villains.
04:59I need y'all to understand the pecking order.
05:03You couldn't have a reality show dedicated to villains
05:05without Tiffany Pollard.
05:07Known by her flavor of love moniker, New York,
05:09the two-time flavor of love runner-up
05:12did not go gentle into that good night
05:14when Flavor Flav cut her the second time.
05:16I'm loving my Flav, and in the end, I will have him.
05:19You could do a whole list of moments where New York brought the heat.
05:22I'm so sick of it.
05:24But this 2023 appearance on House of Villains is unbeatable.
05:28Up for elimination,
05:29she took the opportunity to take Omarosa Manigault Newman apart
05:33before she left.
05:34Omarosa, may I also say that I find you to be
05:37a f*****g, f*****g, guzzling, Republican f*****g.
05:41Oh, yo!
05:43And I sleep better at night knowing that you're not in the White House.
05:46Never get into a war of words with New York.
05:48She always brings the big guns.
05:51Number five.
05:52The God Warrior.
05:53Trading spouses, meet your new mommy.
05:56I didn't like the drama and the music,
05:58and I didn't like anything that I considered not of God.
06:02Most people who haven't seen their family in a week
06:04would be elated to see them.
06:08Not Marguerite Perrin.
06:09You're so dark-sided!
06:12Not dark-sided!
06:16As soon as she comes in the door,
06:17she launches into a tirade full of grand proclamations of faith
06:21and denouncing all things dark-sided.
06:24Her name is Marguerite Perrin,
06:25but reality fans know her by another name.
06:28I've been saying I am a spiritual warrior
06:30because I feel like I'm a spiritual warrior.
06:31The God Warrior stormed our TV screens
06:34in a now-infamous 2005 episode of Fox's Trading Spouses,
06:38decrying the lack of Christianity in the family
06:41she was sent to live with for a week.
06:43She's tampering in dark-sided stuff!
06:47Yes, yes, she did!
06:50The entire house is dark-sided.
06:54Perrin then turns on her own daughter
06:56and banishes the film crew from her house.
06:59Get out!
07:00Like some of the most shocking reality memes,
07:02it's as hilarious as it is horrifying.
07:05She's not a Christian!
07:07Number 4.
07:08Scandaval.
07:10Vanderpump Rules.
07:11Still haven't said sorry for what you actually did.
07:13Things didn't just escalate quickly on screen
07:16in this spinoff's 10th season.
07:18Vanderpump Rules was actually between seasons
07:21when news broke that Tom Sandoval was cheating
07:23on longtime girlfriend Ariana Maddox
07:26with her friend and fellow castmate Raquel Levis.
07:29Every time I try to apologize to you,
07:31it just makes you more angry.
07:33Good, let me be angry.
07:34Okay.
07:34You should still f***ing apologize.
07:35I'm sorry.
07:36I didn't want to hurt you.
07:37I really did not want to hurt you.
07:39The cameras went up immediately,
07:41so Maddox and Sandoval could process the news
07:43for all the world to see.
07:45Maddox's explosion of righteous rage
07:47is somehow one of the show's realest,
07:49most authentic moments in over a decade of episodes.
07:53I don't give a f*** about f***ing Raquel!
07:57Your friendship is f***ing bulls***!
07:59No, it's not!
08:00Yes, it is!
08:01No, it's f***ing not!
08:02It's bulls***!
08:02It's disgusting!
08:03You know everything!
08:04It's disgusting!
08:05Hey, everybody!
08:06You are disgusting!
08:06This person knows everything!
08:07Your friendship with Raquel is disgusting!
08:11Even before the fallout made it onto the show,
08:13Sandoval was a bonafide scandal
08:15in a genre where scandal seems to be the norm.
08:18That girl is searching for identity in men.
08:21She has no identity of her own.
08:24Willing to stoop so low as to f***
08:27one of her best friend's life partners,
08:30and that's someone you think is like a good person
08:33you should be around?
08:34Number 3.
08:35The Amsterdam Dinner.
08:37The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
08:39Amsterdam!
08:41Here we come!
08:42If anyone knows how to ruin a dinner party,
08:44it's A Real Housewife of Beverly Hills.
08:46An iconic fight between Kyle Richards and medium
08:49Alison Dubois in season one set that standard.
08:53But Richards' sister Kim,
08:54whose struggle with alcoholism became a defining storyline
08:58of Beverly Hills' early seasons,
09:00had the biggest dinner table blow up of all.
09:02You have been doing this to me for years.
09:04It's not okay to talk to your sister or anyone like that.
09:07You don't understand the relationship.
09:08No, I don't, but it's not okay to talk to anyone like that, Kim.
09:11It's just not okay.
09:12Feeling singled out by newcomer Lisa Rinna,
09:15Richards wasn't prepared to let bygones be bygones.
09:18She took the opportunity to let Rinna,
09:20Eileen Davidson, and her own sister Kyle
09:22know just how slighted she felt.
09:25Don't even f*** you ever!
09:26You don't want out for everybody to know.
09:30You better watch what you talk about me
09:32or everybody will know.
09:33Never go near my husband.
09:35Everybody will know.
09:36You don't understand that, Kim!
09:38Before you know it, glasses are being thrown
09:41and threats are being made.
09:43Leave it to the housewives to cause an international incident.
09:46Oh, my God.
09:48It's gone too far.
09:49I'm sorry, but she can't lie about me.
09:52I'll tell something that is true.
09:54Number two, Teresa flips the table.
09:56The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
09:58That was totally uncalled for for what she did.
10:01Season one of the New Jersey franchise
10:04introduced the world to Teresa Giudice,
10:06who would become the show's most enduring cast member.
10:09I'm just like, being myself.
10:11I'm being Teresa.
10:12Shockingly, she wasn't the biggest instigator
10:14of drama that season.
10:15Still, after a series of blow-ups
10:17between the Manzos and Danielle Staub,
10:20it was Teresa who put a huge punctuation mark
10:22on the season's drama during the finale dinner.
10:26You have days 19 times.
10:29She just snapped.
10:31Now we all have our breaking point.
10:33You stupid bitch.
10:35The war of words threatened to turn physical
10:37when Giudice flipped the dinner table
10:39and had to be held back from going after Staub.
10:43In all the years I've known Teresa,
10:44I've never seen her angry.
10:46I've never seen her ever like that.
10:49Given that Staub's comment before the table flip
10:51wasn't that bad, it seemed like a huge overreaction.
10:55Teresa acted like a freaking caged animal at the zoo.
10:58I mean, tables need to be thrown at me
11:00because I got, I had a book written about me.
11:04But it may have single-handedly made New Jersey
11:06the Housewives franchise to watch.
11:09Coming to my trap!
11:11I thought it'd be a good idea to try to calm her down
11:13and she kind of tossed me like a rag doll.
11:18Before we unveil our top pick,
11:19here are a few honorable mentions.
11:22Tyra loses it on Tiffany.
11:24America's Next Top Model.
11:26Endlessly quotable and still unhinged after all these years.
11:29Stop it!
11:33I have never in my life yelled at a girl like this.
11:37When my mother yells at this, it's because she loves me.
11:40I was rooting for you.
11:41We were all rooting for you.
11:42How dare you learn something from this?
11:45Melissa Gets Fired.
11:47The Celebrity Apprentice.
11:48Joan and Melissa Rivers declare war on their castmates.
11:5243 career career.
11:54I don't work with scum.
11:56They both had like two little pit vipers.
11:59No kidding.
12:00No.
12:01Whore pit vipers.
12:05Okay.
12:08I kind of felt like that was where it was going to go
12:10and then he slipped the note and it changed.
12:12Did you see that?
12:17We went to say goodbye.
12:18Both goodbye.
12:19Colton Jumps the Fence.
12:21The Bachelor.
12:22Season 23's Bachelor makes a daring escape.
12:26Colton.
12:34He just jumped the f***ing fence.
12:36Abby vs Kelly.
12:37Dance Moms.
12:38This dressing room fight led to a court case
12:41and three cast members being let go.
12:43Listen, I said Brooke is your mother's finger for you.
12:47Get your finger out of my face.
12:49Girls out the room.
12:50Girls out the room.
12:52Out the room.
12:54Tanisha wakes up the house.
12:56Bad Girls Club.
12:57Still the most iconic wake-up call of all time.
13:00I didn't get no f***ing sleep because of y'all.
13:02Y'all not gonna get no sleep because of me.

13:22Number 1.
13:23The Customer is Never Right.
13:25Kitchen Nightmares.
13:27Can I meet this lady?
13:28Yes, now.
13:28Please?
13:29Yeah.
13:29Amy?
13:30Yes?
13:30Gordon Ramsay want to meet you.
13:32He want to know who is the chef of who does all this beautiful...
13:35Uh, come around, please.
13:36Come around, my darling.
13:37Nice to meet you.
13:38Amy and Sammy Buzoglo are the epitome of things escalating quickly.
13:42Their reputation is so tarnished by the time Gordon Ramsay arrives
13:46that their restaurant seems to have a reputation
13:48for throwing people out and cursing at them.
13:51The customer is not always right.
13:53If you came to eat to enjoy, then you should know what you like to eat, sir.
13:57Apparently, you don't know what you like to eat.
13:59Guess not.
13:59The simplest of requests from their customers,
14:02like edible food or waiting less than an hour for a pizza,
14:05is met with hostility and even threats of violence.
14:09If anyone tell me that my wife's food is no good,
14:12I just tell them to leave the restaurant.
14:13I don't want them and don't come back.
14:14The owners of Amy's Baking Company even put the foul-mouthed celebrity chef to shame.
14:19F**k you, sir!
14:20Get out, you mother f**ker!
14:22Are you kidding me?
14:22No, no, no, get out of here!
14:24They kept their server's tips
14:26and berated everyone who dared to question their methods.
14:29I am going to really hurt somebody if they send back my cake.
14:35Even Ramsay had enough by the end.
14:37Don't f**k with me.
14:38Yeah, I will f**k with you.
14:39Who the f**k do you think you are?
14:41Deeming them lost causes.
14:43Good luck.
14:44Did your favorite unhinged reality TV moment make the list?
14:47Tell us in the comments below.
14:49I speak that into existence.
14:51Every one of them.
14:51I planted that seed and I will see the harvest.
14:53Get out of my house!
