Because it's totally OK to escape your own reality.

We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community their fave reality TV shows to binge-watch. Here are the best responses.

1. Teen Mom

MTV

2. Vanderpump Rules

Bravo

3. America's Next Top Model

CBS

The series follows a group of models competing against each other to win the title of... well, America's Next Top Model.

4. Hell's Kitchen

FOX

The cooking competition pits together two teams of chefs, competing for the job of head chef at a restaurant.

"It's the perfect cooking show because it has mini-challenges, punishments, rewards, and an actual restaurant full of people that the chefs have to serve. The best part though is Gordon Ramsay roasting the chefs – if you're a Gordon Ramsay fan, this is definitely the show for you!"
