What Not To Wear
Even though the show’s premise is intriguing, it isn’t nearly as entertaining as it appears. Each contestant will receive $5,000 to redo their closet and get a makeover. However, there are a few stipulations: the producers must dispose of all of the participants’ clothing and donate it to charity. In addition, the participants must pay tax on everything they purchase. To top it off, all of the contestants’ clothing is custom-made to fit them perfectly, which is another cost that the show does not cover.

Pimp My Ride
Pimp My Ride on MTV was one of the most popular reality shows at the time. Rapper Xzibit would show up at people’s houses, taking their old cars and giving them a complete makeover. The car makeovers, it turns out, were only for the cameras and were entirely cosmetic. Someone on the show mentioned that when they got their car back, it barely ran. In addition, it took up to six months for these vehicles to be repaired.
