Reality Bytes is on hiatus this week while I'm at home in Texas for my best friend's wedding, because my family does not own a DVR. (I know, I know. I've been suffering immensely.) Anyway, to satisfy your appetite for reality television, I've compiled the five dumbest competitive reality show gimmicks. Like the Bachelor's roses, except most people actually enjoy getting roses in real life — these trinkets are way less flattering and often cringe-worthy.
There are two sides to all celebrities: The squeaky-clean images forced upon the public by PR reps and their actual personalities. To provide you with a glimpse into the real Hollywood characters are Mollygood’s very own readers, telling tales of celebrity encounters big and small. Up this week: Reader Shanna's meeting with Flavor Flav. CONTINUED »
Apparently it's Joel McHale Day here at Mollygood, and we're OK with that because he trumps the Hogans/Spears/Lohans any day. Joel, who says he sometimes feels like he's "doing the Lord's work," gave an awesome interview with The A.V. Club where he provided many, many gems, chief among them this: "On Flavor Of Love, when a woman took a dump on the stairs, I mean, that's like J.R. being shot on Dallas, or like maybe the last episode of M*A*S*H. It's a milestone on television that's covered with chlamydia."
Seriously, he's our favorite celebrity ever. Click through for lots more. CONTINUED »

I know, I know, she's in the Mediterranean.
Since when does Paris Hilton do her shopping in the closet of Flavor of Love contestants? Red skank suit, red terry cloth mini skirt (helllooooo 2003, who invited you?), red purse, red headband, and zebra print pumps (with red detail, obvs), she may as well be trying to scalp a bitch over a washed up middle-aged rap star.
Speaking of The Flavor, watch this clip of this Sunday's Season Two Premiere episode before I get a message from above to beat you down. I seriously can't wait for another season of that mess. Ever since the moment in Season One when New York wore a jumpsuit on which one leg was shorts and the other was long pants, I've been in love with the show. Watch and get excited:
