Fall 2016 Reality TV Winners

With so many competitive reality tv shows currently airing, it is nearly impossible to stay up to date on all of them. Between Survivor, which is halfway through its 33rd season, and Big Brother: OTT, which is nearing the end of its inaugural season, front runners have dominated, and underdogs are desperately trying to survive. Here is a 100% spoiler-free assessment of who is most likely to win each of your favorite guilty pleasures.

Ranked in Order of “Still Anyone’s Game” to “Solid Lock for Victory.”

6. Koop, Hell’s Kitchen 16

Going to go out on a limb here and say that Koop will make the biggest come from behind victory in Hell’s Kitchen history. Koop had a nightmare week last week, and likely would have been kicked out of Hell’s Kitchen if his team lost. He sliced open his finger, couldn’t compete in the reward challenge, couldn’t help his team complete the punishment, and even admitted that he is having thoughts of quitting.

So, why does Koop have a shot of winning?

Koop is the most level-headed guy in the game, and seeing as Chef Ramsey has chosen a girl to win the past 4 out of 5 seasons, it is time for a guy to win. There are only two reason why the editors would include the clip of Koop saying that he is close to quitting; because he actually quits the game soon, or because he turns his attitude around and ends up making it to the end.

At this point Koop has a long way to go to win, and he could easily be kicked off within the next 2 weeks, but if he can stop cooking raw beef wellington and quits threatening to leave, his victory could be the most impressive in HK history.

Alternate Pick –

5. Shelby, Big Brother: Over the Top

Big Brother: OTT could be the most unpredictable reality show in many years, for two reasons. First, is because of all the power t

hat America has, and second because it is the first time Big Brother has attempted this type of online-only, fall season.

Of the six contestants remaining, Shelby is the only one that is a near lock to win if she is in the final 3. She is entertaining, a great competitor, plays the game hard, and is not afraid to speak her mind.

With that being said, she will be the biggest target in the house for the next few weeks, and if she can’t win a POV or two, she won’t have a chance of making it to America’s final vote.

4. Laurence, Project Runway 15

To be honest, I am about as far from a fashion connoisseur that a human can possibly be, and have absolutely no right judging fashion designers. BUT, I am addicted to gambling on any and all reality shows, and consider myself a reality tv connoisseur, and Project Runway is no exception.

From what I can tell, Laurence is on pace to walk away the winner of season 15, as she has never been in the bottom three, and has been in the top five times, with two of those times ending in a win.

Additionally, she stays out of the drama, is there to focus on her career and focuses on making clothes that meet the challenge, and is up to her high standards every time. It would be shocking if Laurence did not make at least the final three, and difficult to think of anyone that can stop her from winning whatever the hell Project Runway winners get (I fast forward through that part.)

3. Billy Gilman, The Voice 11

If Vegas was allowed to gamble on reality tv, the odds-on, heavy favorite would be Billy Gilman. Much like season 10 winner, Alisan Porter, he is a former child star that is ready for a return to the spotlight. Regardless of whether or not you may think it is “fair” for

Gilman’s fanbase alone will keep him safe until the finals, and at this point there are only two or three contestants that even have a chance of stopping him. If the past two winners (Porter, and Jordan Smith) had a love child, it would be Billy Gilman. So, chalk up another win for Adam Levine, because Gilman’s all but got this in the bag.

Ken still has a way to go before he wins Survivor: Millennials Vs. Gen X, but he may have already won the title of world’s most perfect guy. Though labeled as an “old” Gen-X’er, Ken is only 33 years old, but way more mature than his age gives him credit for. He is a loyal alliance member, trustworthy, intelligent and well-worded, all while being friendly, likable, and devilishly handsome. And even though his basketball skills are far from NBA worthy, he does have perfect shooting form.

Typically, a merge would spell major trouble for someone like Ken. However, there are so many bigger millennial targets still in the game, that Ken will fly under the radar until they are all on the jury. At that point, Ken’s solid relationships with Jessica, Dave, and Adam, and the fact that he seems to be well liked by the rest of the old timers, will keep him protected until the finale. If Ken can fly under the radar and downplay his physical abilities, this game is his to lose.

Prediction: Jessica gets voted out one week before being able to use her advantage. She gives the advantage to Ken just when he needs it the most, and he advances to the finals. Once there, Ken Doll wins in a landslide, and becomes even more perfect now that he is a million dollars richer.

Not only is Ryan Ashley the most attractive person to ever appear on Spike TV, but she is also the most talented female tattoo artist to ever compete on Ink Master. With three females left in the final six, Ink Master is undeniably weeks away from crowing its first female winner.

With only four years of tattooing experience, the least amount of any contestant this season, Ryan Ashley is just as good, if not better than just about all of Ink Master’s previous winners, and with two wins in the past three weeks, there doesn’t seem to be any other contestant, male or female, that can get in the way of her making Ink Master history.
