10 Ways "Presidential Election" Is The Best Reality Show On TV

RE: BUZZFEED APPLICATION

1. The Finale Is Unpredictably Predictable

With most shows, one has a general idea as to how the final episode will go down; but rarely is it exciting. In the case of singing/talent shows, we know who the final two will be but it's almost never a matter of GLOBAL interest. With shows like Big Brother or The Real World, never is there a case where someone gets to stay in the house if they win. And, as for The Bachelor, this time we get to choose the bride.

2. The MOST Ridiculous Cast

I mean..... seriously. This is Jersey Shore/Real Housewives/Bachelor/Kardashians on Meth/Crack/Heroin/Booze. This clown-car of candidates has been such a sincere shit-show it's impossible to look away!

3. Adorable Mud-slinging

Look, it happens in every reality show! Things start to get personal. Ted and Trump on Twitter standing up for their wives. Kasich refusing to get involved. Grandma and Grandpa in blue yapping. It's all just one step up from the schoolyard and all televised. Then, suddenly... you take a step back and realizing, "Wait a second, these people are running for President.... THIS. IS. AMAZING."

4. Everybody's Talking About It

Oh, sure, you can pretend you're not paying attention to Survivor, The Amazing Race, Chrisley Knows Best or whatever else everyone is talking about... But, now?? You MUST join us... Join us FOREVER!!!

5. You MUST Pick A Team

Once again, you don't have to be a Team Heidi or Team Not Heidi; but sorry folks, our electoral college has deemed it impossible for a third party to have any chance to gain followers-- despite it being the most popular demographic at roughly 39% of voters!!! As it stands... If you want to have a chance at picking a winner, you must either be Team Republican or Team Democrat.

6. Voting

This time, it sort of matters. Well, once again, I could go into the whole Electoral College thing-- but still.

7. But... does it REALLY matter?

It's all kind of a circus. A sideshow. A cartoon. Is it a facade? Is it truth? It's kind of hard to tell. Will the winner make that much of a difference in the country? Traditionally, admittedly, I'd say, "No." There wouldn't have been much of a difference between Obama and McCain; HW Bush and Clinton; to some extent perhaps even Bush and Gore... This one, however, FEELS different because it sort of is. Is the revolution near, or are we all in the circus? You decide. Let's vote!

8. Or, is it a Game Show?

Just a long game of Q & A where it's not necessarily WHAT you answer, but HOW you answer? Is that still a reality show? I don't know, but it's entertaining AF.

9. Eliminations

Just a two-year long game of "Who Will Drop Out Next?" Now, with the possibility of an Open Convention with the GOP, we ACTUALLY might see some Top-Chef style returns.

10. But... is it really "Reality?"

Like any reality show, we lose ourselves in the madness. We start to wonder how real it all is... Is a politician a character too? What's the difference between a Trump or a Situation? A Clinton or a Khloe? A Sanders or a Larry David? A Cruz or a Grandpa Munster? I like to believe they're real, that IT'S real, but-- honestly, IS IT THOUGH???
