Who Were the Worst Reality TV Stars This Week?

Television Without Pity

Our TV viewing was mainly devoted to all of the scripted premieres this week, but these reality TV folks acted like big enough idiots to draw our attention away from shows that might actually have some real value.

Jionni ("Jersey Shore")
Not for being embarrassed by Snooki, because she is embarrassing, but honestly, he should have known what he was getting into. But he really makes the list for wasting a perfectly good trip to Italy by sulking and realizing while he was abroad that his drunken girlfriend wasn't what he wanted in a wife.

Everyone ("Real Housewives of New Jersey")
All of them. Seriously. Lauren talking about her period. Teresa talking about her period. Teresa parading around in one awful bathing suit after another. Caroline wussing out of dealing with the drama. Kathy poking the rabid beast that is Teresa. All the guys going to the bathroom on the side of the road. Jacqueline packing clothes for vacation that she never intends to wear. We needed a shower.

Brandon ("Survivor")
We were willing to give this Hantz relative a fair shot (despite his moronic tattoos), but he did himself in when he decided to stir up trouble at camp by attempting to oust Mikayla. All because the girl is too tempting to him as a married man. That's his problem, not hers. Also, telling Coach about his family was just bad strategy.

Geo ("The X Factor")
He made a fool of himself on national television, but also horrified us in the process. Not just a no-talent singer (who wrote his own original "music") but also a flasher as well. Paula was nauseated and people had to rush their small children out of the theater as his shiny lamé pants shimmied down, revealing his junk to the entire world. We're grateful that the X logo blocked our vision.

Butch ("Teen Mom")
He got out of jail, begged his teen son to live in his apartment while he served out his parole, and then broke all the house rules and got himself arrested again (presumably because of his drug habit). Seeing his toddler son in tears while Tyler (who had been through this countless times before) sat and comforted him was heartbreaking. But Butch's real crime was being responsible for Catelynn and Tyler having to uninvite their own child from their graduation because they were afraid that Butch would make a scene around the baby they gave up for adoption. Devastating.

Winner:
Jionni, mostly because he made our beloved J-Woww suffer as she ran through the streets in stilettos chasing after his dumb self. Also, because he didn't punch Mike in the face when Sitch was clearly asking for it.
