Readers Favorite Reality TV Survey Results From Bravo and TV GUIDE
In a recent poll commissioned by Bravo and TV Guide magazine to determine viewers´ tastes regarding reality television, AMERICAN IDOL´S Clay Aiken is number one in the hearts of reality fans, while THE APPRENTICE´S Omarosa is the most hated reality star. The Internet omnibus survey was conducted by TNS in conjunction with Bravo´s premiere of BATTLE OF THE NETWORK REALITY STARS, the cable channel´s homage to the great 70´s original BATTLE OF THE NETWORK STARS. The series will premiere on Bravo on Wednesday, August 17 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. In addition, the results from the poll will be printed in the August 14 issue of TV GUIDE magazine on newsstands on August 11.
"These are real people who allow the American public to experience their raw emotion and quirks as they embark on their own reality - taking us with them every step of the way," said Andrew Cohen, VP, Production & Programming for Bravo.
"Love it or hate it, reality television is here to stay. Reality stars have made their mark on the pop culture landscape, and they won´t be leaving any time soon," says TV GUIDE Senior Editor Rich Sands. "This poll is a fun tribute to the best and worst of the genre---the villains, the heroes, the drama divas--and ultimately a celebration of the very reasons we all keep tuning in."
Following are highlights from the Bravo/TV GUIDE Poll results:
IN A POPULARITY CONTEST, CLAY COMES OUT ON TOP AND OMAROSA HAS VERY FEW FRIENDS:
Clay Aiken (35%) barely edged out fellow AMERICAN IDOL contestant Kelly Clarkson (34%) as the most loved reality star of all-time, with half of those polled agreeing that Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth of THE APPRENTICE is the most hated.
MOVE OVER WHITNEY AND BOBBY; OVER HALF OF AMERICA CHOSE NICK & JESSICA TO RAISE THEIR CHILD:
Viewers and readers have officially spoken - when it comes to entrusting a reality star couple to raise their child, an overwhelming 54% trust Nick & Jessica, over more experienced parents Whitney & Bobby, Sharon & Ozzy, and the expectant couple Britney & Kevin!
THE AMAZING RACE TAKES FIRST PLACE:
When asked to choose which reality series they would be a contestant on, 31% of respondents would sprint to get on THE AMAZING RACE, but only 17% feel rosy about THE BACHELOR"/"THE BACHELORETTE.
SURVIVOR´S RICHARD HATCH GETS SLAMMED BY AMERICA WITH DODGE BALL:
Richard Hatch would have a tough time surviving in dodge ball, with 42% of people taking aim at him first. Wendy Pepper from PROJECT RUNWAY would remain fairly unscathed with just 13% pummeling her with the dodge ball.
WHO DESERVES MORE THAN 15 MINUTES OF FAME? AMERICAN IDOL´S WILLIAM HUNG CAME OUT FIRST:
AMERICAN IDOL´S William Hung is the most deserving of his own TV series according to 31% of respondents. But, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth of THE APPRENTICE should simply stick to her day job.
IT´S THE BATTLE OF THE BEAUTIES IN A GAME OF TUG O´ WAR:
AMERICA´S NEXT TOP MODEL Brittany Brower and THE SWAN´S Rachel Love-Fraser are favored 37% by respondents to drag each other through the mud in a tug o´ war match-up. Only 18% want to see duo Charla Faddoul and Mirna Hindoyan from THE AMAZING RACE duke it out.
The Bravo/TV GUIDE poll was conducted among 1,000 adults ages 18+ from July 14-15, 2005.

Bravo Adds Two Additional Episodes For BEING BOBBY BROWN
Due to the overwhelming success and popularity of the hit cinema verite style series BEING BOBBY BROWN, Bravo has added two additional episodes to the schedule. The new episodes will air in its regular 10 p.m. ET/PT Thursday timeslot with the season finale airing on August 25 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The announcement was made yesterday by Lauren Zalaznick, President of Bravo.
"The first eight episodes of BEING BOBBY BROWN have kept Bravo viewers buzzing and have even helped contribute to adding new catch-phrases to our pop-culture vernacular," said Zalaznick. "This is a highly compelling and engaging series, and we hope two new episodes will satisfy viewers´ appetites for more Bobby and Whitney.
Viewers will continue get the inside look at BEING BOBBY BROWN in the two additional episodes. The episode premiering Thursday, August 18, will take an inside look at Bobby and Whitney´s Atlanta and New Jersey homes. The season finale, premiering August 25, will take a behind the scenes look at BEING BOBBY BROWN showcasing some of the favorite moments from the series and will also reveal never before seen footage from Bobby´s life.
As one of the hottest R&B stars of the late ´80s and early ´90s, Brown is credited for popularizing New Jack Swing, a hybrid style of R&B/soul music combined with rap and Hip-Hop rhythms. A founding member of New Edition, Brown left the group in 1986 to embark on a solo career. Brown´s second solo album, DON´T BE CRUEL," which was released in 1988, landed him on the cutting-edge of modern R&B and spawned the no. 1 hit MY PREROGATIVE, and other chart-toppers such as RONI, and EVERY LITTLE STEP, which earned him a Grammy in 1989 for Best Rhythm and Blues Vocal Performance, Male. Brown´s other hits include the GHOSTBUSTERS II theme ON OUR OWN, SHE AIN´T WORTH IT, HUMPIN´AROUND, GOOD ENOUGH, GET AWAY, and THAT´S THE WAY LOVE IS.
