This Is The Most-Watched Reality TV Show In Every State

Alabama The people of Alabama just *love* The Bachelorette. Hey, the show's most recent star was called Alabama Hannah for a reason, right? Ed Herrera - ABC

Arkansas In Arkansas they're are all about Duck Dynasty. Too bad the show had its final season in 2017. Um, bummer..? A&E

Arizona Arizonians stan Gordan Ramsay competitions like Masterchef. I love! Watching! People! Yell! Too! Fox

California I guess California is here for alllll the drama and TBH, I don't blame them. The Real Housewives of Orange County are as entertaining as ever. Bravo

Colorado Colorado is in the entrepreneurial spirit and, like, same (putting my clothes in the bathroom while I shower 'cause I'm too lazy to iron them counts as being entrepreneurial, right?). It appears Shark Tank is the clear Colorado fave. Andrew Eccles - ABC

Connecticut If you're like me (and the entire state of Connecticut), you've been in need of a ~mindless laugh~ every once in a while. That's probably why Impractical Jokers is such a hit in CT. TruTV

Washington, D.C. These men are my *literal* life. The fact that Queer Eye is the top show in only one place actually upsets me. That being said, D.C, you've got great taste. Young Hollywood - Giphy

Delaware IDK about you, but the thought of marriage scares me enough as it is. I guess that's why Married at First Sight is so freakin' addicting. It's so bizarre it just works. Firefly Imageworks - Lifetime

Florida Hello, Sharks. You're gonna be seeing a lot of these faces, because Shark Tank is the most popular reality TV show in six different states, including Florida. Patrick Ecclesine - ABC

Georgia I'm genuinely not surprised that The Real Housewives of Atlanta are the reality TV queens of their home state. Are you? Bravo - NBC Universal

Hawaii Hawaiians are *big* on So You Think You Can Dance. My dad loves to watch the show too, and afterward he complains that none of his kids have rhythm, hah. Fox

Idaho Um, can Kelly Clarkson be my life coach? The Voice is the most popular reality TV show in *five* different states. NBC - Getty Images

Iowa The Bachelorette steals hearts once again. Don't worry, this won't be the last time you see Hannah Brown's face either. This show is veeery popular. Craig Sjodin - ABC

Illinois I'm from Chicago, so I can attest to the Shark Tank hype in Illinois. Say it with me: We. Love. Mark. Cuban. Andrew Eccles - ABC

Indiana You can't help but stan the mother-daughter duo in Good Bones. The closest thing my mom and I have built to a house is a plate stacked with nachos. Still love you though, Mom! HGTV

Kansas Expedition Unknown's Josh Gates can (or rather, tries) to solve pretty much any mystery. But can he find out why left socks randomly disappear from drawers and where, exactly, they went? Asking for a friend. Discovery

Kentucky I told you The Voice would be back. Now be honest, who would you pick if all four chairs turned? John, Blake, Gwen or Kelly? NBC - Getty Images

Louisiana American Idol is a freakin' classic and you can quote me on that. Louisiana is doing reality TV right. Eliza Morse - Getty Images

Massachusetts Is anyone else, like, deathly afraid of Mr. Wonderful? Shark Tank makes another appearance as the Massachusetts favorite. Eric McCandless - ABC

Maryland Married at First Sight is the top contender in Maryland. Fun fact: Did you know it's also the most popular reality TV show in the entire southern region? DANIELDORSA - Lifetime

Maine You know what? I wouldn't last a single day on Survivor. Being stranded on an island with a bunch of strangers just isn't for me. But apparently the people of Maine are digging it! Robert Voets - CBS

Michigan America's Got Talent is the top reality TV show in Michigan and yeah, I get that. I'm still obsessed with Grace VanderWaal from Season 11. NBC - NBC Universal

Minnesota Minnesota, will you accept this rose? Because (spoiler) The Bachelorette is the number one in your state. Mark Bourdillon - ABC

Missouri This! Is! The! ~Voice~! Did I turn any chairs? Anyways. Missouri loves The Voice, like, a lot. NBC - Getty Images

Mississippi Discovery Channel fave Fast N' Loud is the most popular reality TV show in Mississippi. Too bad Aaron Kaufman (one of the two stars) left after Season 12. Fast N' Loud

Montana Montana's reality TV star Josh Gates of Expedition Unknown is back. That being said, any leads on those missing socks? Hah. Aaron Rapoport - Getty Images

North Carolina Every season is wedding season with Married at First Sight. Bonus: you don't have to buy another unflattering bridesmaid dress or something off the registry to attend. DANIELDORSA - Lifetime

North Dakota Did you know that MythBusters has been on air for 16 seasons? And it's got a loyal following in the great state of North Dakota. Benjamin Hanson

Nebraska I'm still waiting for my invite to be on Bachelor in Paradise. What? It's a free vacay. Don't judge me. John Fleenor - ABC

New Hampshire Did any other American Idol fans secretly ship Simon and Paula? *slowly raises hand* Gavin Bond - ABC

New Jersey Shark Tank is back for the final time as the New Jersey reality TV favorite. And because of this, here's one last look at Kevin. You're welcome. Patrick Ecclesine - ABC

New Mexico Thought you were done seeing The Voice? Wrong! This show is back as the New Mexico frontrunner. NBC

Nevada I should bring Gordon Ramsay on my runs because I'd be way too scared to stop and take a break in his presence. Nevada likes a little ~healthy criticism~ too since Hell's Kitchen is the state favorite. Fox

New York I guess New Yorkers actually prefer the West Coast? Weird. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is the favorite in New York state. Bravo - NBC Universal

Ohio Abby Lee Miller and her Dance Moms crew are a hit in Ohio. I'm not gonna lie, when I grow up I wanna be Maddie Ziegler. Lifetime

Oklahoma You bet there's a state part of the Big Brother fandom. But are Oklahomans diehard enough to watch the 24/7 live feeds? Unclear. Monty Briinton - CBS

Oregon Little People, Big World is *the* show in Oregon. This fam is just plain entertaining (and inspiring), so I'm here for it. TLC

Pennsylvania Don't sleep on Abby Lee Miller. Ever. Dance Moms, which is set in Pittsburgh, is its home state of Pennsylvania's favorite reality TV show. Annie O'neill

Rhode Island It's been 17 seasons, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians still reigns supreme in Rhode Island. Can I just say I'm surprised it's not a favorite in more states? E! Entertainment

South Carolina South Carolina lives for Southern Charm. This doesn't come as a shock, since the show films in their very state. Bravo

South Dakota Okay so, Storage Wars is beyond popular in South Dakota. As for me, I'll be taking bids on the Manhattan Mini Storage unit I haven't opened since 2016. Any takers? I'll wait. A&E

Tennessee Kelly Clarkson has taken up residence in Tennessee, so of course her neighbors are tuning in to The Voice. NBC

Texas It's no shock that The Real Housewives of Dallas are the reality queens of Texas. Bravo

Utah Remember when they forgot to mail my invite to be on Pilot Pete's season of The Bachelor? Ugh, how embarrassing for them. Anyways, hope you liked the season, Utah! Maarten de Boer - ABC

Virginia Have I got a deal for you, Virginia! You get Shark Tank as your favorite show (and maybe a spot on QVC, if you're lucky). Eric McCandless - ABC

Vermont I feel like anyone who was obsessed with Brady Bunch will definitely be into A Very Brady Renovation. Seems like Vermont loves the ~DIY twist~ on the classic show. HGTV

Washington Not only does Washington love Masterchef, but did you know that it's the fifth most popular reality TV show in the country? - NBC Universal

Wisconsin PSA: The Bachelorette is the most popular reality TV show in the *entire* Midwest, including in Wisconsin. John Fleenor - ABC

West Virignia Another show hosted by Nick Cannon? Honestly, here for it. The Masked Singer is a VIP in West Virginia. Fox

Wyoming Throwback to literally sitting in my pajamas, eating cereal and watching *hours* of America's Next Top Model for the entirety of my youth. This show is number one in Wyoming for obvious reasons (Tyra Banks). Rodin Eckenroth - Getty Images
