7. Especially a reality TV show where the whole point is for the "star" to pick one of several candidates to marry.

As if marriage is a game show prize or something. Admittedly, I've never watched any of the Bachelor type shows, but that's my understanding, and it seems really weird and artificial to me.

There are other types of reality shows where I can imagine two people bonding over a shared experience and a relationship growing from that, but competing against a bunch of other contestants to be chosen by someone in an artificially cotrived set of circumstances seems loony to me.
