1 "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo", depicting the family life of a child beauty pageant Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, is a spin-off of what controversial reality show?
Answer: Toddlers & Tiaras

At the top (or bottom depending on your scale) of the reality show genre are shows that offer exploitative images of children. "Toddlers & Tiaras" was once the longest running of this show type. "Toddlers and Tiaras" focuses on the children (some as young as three years old) beauty pageant circuit. The network formerly called The Learning Channel, now just TLC, premiered "Toddlers and Tiaras" in 2009. The show is highly controversial because of the often extreme sexualization and pressure placed on the young pageant hopefuls.

Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson was a six year old pageant contestant that appeared on the initial seasons of "Toddler & Tiaras" in 2009. In 2012, TLC created a new show to focus on Thompson and her family's often colorful daily life, outside of the pageant circuit. Like many reality shows, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is popular across a broad spectrum of television viewers and savagely derided by critics.

2 It seemed like a good idea at the time to encourage TLC's viewing demographics to head to their grocery stores with envelopes of cut-outs. What TV show involved two competitors both attempting to spend the least amount of money at a grocery store?
Answer: Extreme Couponing

First airing in 2010, "Extreme Couponing" was exactly what it sounds like-- two people headed into a grocery store after doing their research and actually competed to accumulate the most items at the highest cost, and then used hundreds of cut-out coupons to save as much money and spend as little as humanly possible. While a lot of this involved buying nonsensical mass amounts of non-essential products, it's apparently a real thing. The show couldn't have come at a better time considering the massive recession in the 2010s; it appealed to TLC's slowly deteriorating viewership and, unsurprisingly, it fit the common denominator: exploitation. One can only imagine the surprise in the network offices when another front-running TLC show, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo!", also featured extreme couponing in an episode. Wait until they can link it to "Hoarding: Buried Alive" too...

9 Which successful U.S. television series featured groups of overweight contestants vying with each other to lose as much of their excess weight as possible in order to win an attractive cash prize?
Answer: The Biggest Loser

Pegged as "the first reality series where everybody loses", this hit TV show tracked the progress of overweight contestants as they underwent a strenuous workout regimen and a supervised diet and nutrition plan in an attempt to shed their excess pounds. The contestant who managed to lose the highest percentage of his or her body weight at the end of the season earned a substantial cash prize, as well as the coveted title of "The Biggest Loser". You would think that a title like that would cause all the winners to be plagued with self-esteem issues even if they managed to keep the weight off, but the contestants all appear to have accepted the show's humorous name in the tongue-in-cheek spirit in which it was coined. The show has spawned a successful series of weight-loss books and fitness DVDs, as well as local versions in Britain, Australia, Brazil, the Netherlands and Israel.

20 Personal trainer and former pro-football player Tommy Europe hosts this Canadian TV weight loss show that targets brides-to-be who are trying to lose weight. What is the unflattering name of this show?
Answer: Bulging Brides

Personal trainer Tommy Europe has a couple of reality TV shows based on weight loss. The first is "The Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp" in which contestants have four weeks to lose a relatively small amount of weight. The other is targeted at brides-to-be called "Bulging Brides." The premise of each show is a bride who can't fit into her wedding dress and works with Europe to lose weight before her wedding. Each bride works with Europe and a nutrition specialist who design a program to help the bride with the weight loss. Each episode is pretty formulaic, following each bride through ups and downs and motivational challenges. Partway through each program the brides are weighed and try on their dress and get a little bit of extra motivation needed to meet their goals and fit perfectly into their dress on their wedding day.

22 What ill-conceived reality show did former nurse Darva Conger "win" in 2000, that included an immediate marriage, followed by an almost as fast annulment?
Answer: Who Wants To Marry A Multi-Millionaire?

Imagine you are trying to sell the concept of a reality show to a broadcast network. Here is the premise, fifty women are interviewed by a man visible only in silhouette. The man is allegedly a multi-millionaire and the women are vying to be his bride. The winner gets a wedding ring valued at 100,000 but must marry the "millionaire" right there on set. Think this is a bad dream, nope; it is a real Fox network reality show that aired on February 15, 2000. Darva Conger, a 34 year old nurse, was selected by Rick Rockwell as his instant bride.

Immediately after the on-set wedding, problems set in for the happy couple. Rockwell's millionaire status was called into question, and a prior domestic abuse charge was discovered. Ms. Conger claimed the marriage had not been consummated, and had the arrangement annulled less than two months later. However, all was not lost for Ms. Conger. She did sell the engagement ring and other prizes from the show and appeared in the August 2000 edition of Playboy magazine. "Who Wants To Marry a Multi-Millionaire" proved too exploitative even for the Fox Network and was cancelled after its lone airing.

26 His Stetson cowboy hat wouldn't have been big enough to cover his bailiff's big hair. Who was the bailiff for Judge Larry Joe Doherty?
Answer: William Bowers

While "Texas Justice" centered around small claims, Larry Joe Doherty's practice focused on legal malpractice. Doherty strongly believed in holding attorney's feet to the fire for misrepresenting their clients. His law firm was in fact a pioneer in the field of legal malpractice.

In 2001 Larry Joe Doherty became the presiding judge on a new television court show called "Texas Justice." Judge Larry Joe may have been a fish out of water in the small claims format accounting for some rulings, but his objective was to teach a lesson. A sort of the, "And everyone goes home happy" lesson. The show was canceled after four and a half seasons in 2005

As a member of the Harris Country Police Department William Bowers was approached by a director while working an extra job and asked if he wanted to be on a new television show. He auditioned and got the job. Bailiff William Bowers became so popular on "Texas Justice" he was assigned police security.

Answer: The Apprentice

"The Apprentice" premiered in the U.S. in January 2004 and quickly became one of the biggest hits of the television season.

The candidates were assigned different challenges to perform every week, like developing and running a miniature golf course, managing the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Times Square for a day, or trying to make the most money by selling lemonade on the streets of New York. The candidates who were most responsible for their team's failure each week had to face Trump and his colleagues in the boardroom, where they tried to account for their actions, and avoid hearing Trump's dreaded catchphrase, "You're fired!"

29 Which season of "Survivor" was the first to include the Exile Island twist?
Answer: Survivor: Palau

Wasn't "Survivor: Palau" the mindtwist of the "Survivor" franchise? After years of successful seasons of the show (including one "All-Star" season in its eighth run), "Palau" began with twenty players, immediately brought down to eighteen players after a single night, and introduced the Exile Island staple to the show, during which a player would be marooned between challenges on a remote island (ironically, this usually happened to be during a storm or cold night). The first and only player to be sent here during its debut season was Janu, who was eliminated from the show in the same episode.
Exile Island typically contains at least one 'Hidden' Immunity Idol which may have a bearing on whatever happens at Tribal Council. It can't be used when it comes down to the Final Four though, and often goes unnoticed until someone uses it.

34 After hosting two seasons of "The Mole" on ABC, Anderson Cooper rose to fame on another TV station. What station did he move to?
Answer: CNN

"The Mole" was regarded by MENSA as 'The Smartest Show on Television' because of its mind puzzles and the plot behind it. People would be sent to foreign countries in order to perform certain tasks and earn money for the group pot, which could potentially rise to $1,000,000.

Back to reality! Although the show was popular in its first season, ABC put the show on hiatus after three episodes in season 2 because of low ratings (caused by the 9/11 attacks), and ultimately, it led to the show's demise. The rest of the season was shown the following year. Despite this, the show has been popular in many other countries including Australia, Sweden, and Belgium.
After the two seasons were aired, ABC created two celebrity editions of the show hosted by Ahmad Rashad. Although these fared okay in ratings, the network dropped the show.
After the second season of "The Mole", Anderson Cooper was hired by CNN to host the show "Anderson Cooper 360°". The show is aired live and the 360° refers to the fact that all angles of the story are explored and laid out for the viewers. Over the years, Anderson has been to many disasters including Hurricane Katrina.
