Really torn here. As an amateurish and thoroughly mediocre diagrammer of venns, I am humbled by what a masterpiece of geometric pop culture this is. But as a combatant of all things reality television (scripted or GTFO!), it’s depressing to see the shear number of reality television shows out their that are mind-numbingly covering pretty much the same topics. And to think this diagram doesn’t even include all the shows dedicated to following talentless @ssholes around all day. It’s gonna take a miracle for us to just get Community to four seasons and a straight-to-DVD special.
Much respect to Margaret Lyons and Jen Cotton of Vulture for putting together such a beauty. Prior to absorbing this I had no idea three states made up such a large portion of national reality television programming. Also, congrats to Swamp People for reaching rarefied triple threat status.

Isn’t there an entire subset of “American Pickers”, Storage Wars and the like that should jut off near Wars and Texas?
No Jersey Shore?
There’s a bigger circle that’s labelled “dogshit” that encompasses all of these.
