[Macie Lightfoot]

Flavor of Love and The Mole are both amazing but in completely different ways. Flavor of Love and the whole VH1 franchise is without a doubt the most hilarious reality TV show ever. The characters are absolutely absurd and the editing is spot on and so much of it is just perfect. Flavor of Love, Charm School, I Love Money, etc. All of them are absolutely must see reality TV.

The Mole is also amazing but for completely different reasons! It's a much more serious show (Flavor of Love is such a self-parody and that's where at least half of the hilarity comes from, duh) and is probably the most intelligent reality TV show ever. The game is ingenious and it's the ultimate mystery. Really thought-provoking stuff. I don't know which country's version of The Mole you would watch first (I've only seen American versions but I've heard Australia's third series is stellar), but although I wouldn't recommend the fifth American season (third civilian one) as the best season, it has the best character in Dr. Nicole.

Also this shouldn't need to be said but I'll just say it anyway. With the nature of The Mole, avoid spoilers at all cost!!!
