You didn't really care about TV until reality came along. You're always up for a good old-fashioned contest and are just as content watching fashion designers battle it out on "The Fashion Show" as you are watching talented dancers 'dance for their lives' on the "So You Think You Can Dance" stage. Click through this slideshow to check out reality shows that will feed your competitive spirit all summer long. Wednesday, June, 10, 2009, 1:10 AM

The Food Network is giving another 10 aspiring hosts the chance to win the prize of a lifetime: their very own cooking show. But first they'll have compete in a series of challenges to test their TV talents as well as their culinary skills. Bobby Flay, who knows a thing or two about being on television, will lead the selection committee, which will eventually decide who will win this amazing opportunity. As fans will recall, some past winners of "The Next Food Network Star," like Season 2's Guy Fieri, took the win and launched TV success with it. Others, like Season 3's Amy Finley, seem to have fallen off the foodie radar. The new batch of contestants must get busy right away catering a press party for the channel's 16th anniversary.

So, "Megan Wants a Millionaire"? This should come as no surprise to anyone who watched this bottle blonde seduce and destroy many a man on such reality staples as: "Beauty and the Geek," "Rock of Love," "Rock of Love: Charm School," and the obvious ... "I Love Money." With a premise reminiscent of "The Bachelor," a mansion filled with 18 single wealthy men, and Megan on the hunt for a guy that "can handle me and doesn't cry," we can only assume (and hope!) that this train wreck of a show will go down in history as summer's guiltiest pleasure.

Think of "Dances Your Ass Off" as a cross between "The Biggest Loser" and "So You Think You Can Dance." Hosted by "Hairspray" star Marissa Janet Winokur, the show introduces viewers to a dozen plus-size people (who weigh a collective 3,000 pounds) as they attempt to lose weight by dancing. Each contestant is paired with a professional dancer who'll put them through rigorous training sessions for weekly stage performances ranging from hip-hop to ballroom to pole dancing. The contestants will be judged on both dance and weight loss, leaving one final winner to take home the life-changing $100,000 prize.

Sharp-tongued celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay returns for a sixth season of "Hell’s Kitchen" which pits 12 ambitious chefs from all walks of life (from culinary students to caterers) against each other to compete for the job of a lifetime. While living together in Los Angeles, the contestants take on cooking challenges and work as teams to put on weekly dinner services in a makeshift "Hell's Kitchen" restaurant. Ramsay's temper tends to flare up during dinner service, and just about any time his prodigies don't live up to his standards, so get ready for plenty of bleeped-out shouting fits. Each week another competitor is eliminated, until one is rewarded with a coveted chef's job at a fine-dining restaurant. (Last season's winner scored a gig at Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel.) Now let's get cooking and cursing with Gordon! Tuesdays at 8pm ET on FoxFOX/Patrick Ecclesine - Monday, June, 22, 2009, 10:22 PM

Sure, Chevy Chase made a family cross-country road trip look hilarious. But what's it really like? Viewers will find out when seven very different families pile into separate RVs and travel the fabled Route 66 on a journey through America's cities, towns, national treasures, and quirky landmarks in "Great American Road Trip." Along the way the broods will compete in a variety of comical games and challenges that will lead to one family's elimination every week, and one family's victory at the end of the season.

This talent show on steroids is back for a fourth season, and this time around "talk show" host Jerry Springer is out and Mr. Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, is at the helm. "America's Got Talent" showcases performers from all over the country as they attempt to turn their acts -- from violin playing to ventriloquism -- into a million dollars. Mr. Meanie himself, Simon Cowell, is the show's executive producer, while actor David Hasselhoff, music biz wiz Sharon Osbourne, and U.K. TV personality Piers Morgan serve as the judges who get to decide which aspiring star has more talent than the rest. Now that "Britain’s Got Talent" has been hogging the spotlight for the past few months thanks to Internet sensation Susan Boyle, the good old U.S.A. has some catching up to do.

So set your DVR and stock up on some ice cream sandwiches. This is gonna be too good to miss. Tuesdays at 9pm ET on FoxFOX/Sarah Kehoe - Thursday, June, 18, 2009, 9:18 PM

The producers of "American Idol" went country last year, inviting duos from around the nation to compete for a spot on the talent competition "Can You Duet." This year the show returns, with new host Lance Smith and Naomi Judd, Big Kenny (of Big & Rich), and industry honcho Scott Borchetta doing the judging. Though not as popular as "Idol," the stakes are still high: Three of last season's final duos have signed record deals. Saturdays at 9pm on CMT CMT/John Russell - Monday, June, 22, 2009, 4:22 PM
