It's an unwritten rule in my household that Summer is for reality TV. Don't get me wrong, I love scripted shows, but there's something about grabbing a refreshing beverage and chilling on the couch for countless hours of mindless TV. Thanks to Netflix and Hulu, you can watch season upon season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and almost every food-focused and house-flipping show on the market. It truly is the best of times, everyone.
