The Most Heartbreaking Elimination From a Reality Show?

[cj3]

I know Reality in TV has multiple meanings and you can bring in any competition show, but drunk me is revisiting X Factor US, and this came up



Is there anything that beats this

I dont really watch reality TV. But one of my best friends made it to like the final three of Survivor so that wins by default.

I remember someone talking about a season of Survivor where a popular player got booted because literally everyone else found an immunity idol leaving them as the default eliminated which probably had to stink.

Janet Letendre on Holiday Baking Championship 2019. That week wasn't her week, but it was a shame to see her go as she was so likable.

I felt like this about Jai Xiong this past Spring Baking.

Amy Purdy NOT winning DWTS.

Pia Toscano's elimination from season 10 of American Idol still doesn't sit right in my gay soul.

Amazing Race No. 6 and hay bales. Fans know what I'm talking about.

Nicole in BB16 is mine. So let's go through this one. She and Christine win co-Head of Household and nominate Frankie and Caleb, and Donny and Zach, respectively. Caleb, feeling betrayed by Frankie at the last eviction, refuses to play the Battle of the Block competition. However, the challenge is actually much easier for one person to run than for a team. Oh and by the way, Frankie's sister is Ariana Grande, who was a big deal at the time. So Frankie wins, saving himself and Caleb from eviction for the week. Christine, Frankie and Caleb also get to go on a reward and bond, leading Christine to betray her closest ally, Nicole. Back at the house, Frankie reveals his family secret to the house. And in footage CBS conveniently didn't broadcast, he also bullied Nicole, threatening to sic his sister's fans on her. Finally, Zach wins the Power of Veto and takes himself off the block, so Christine puts Nicole up in his place, leading to Nicole being unanimously evicted.

She would actually win the Battle Back the following week and return to the house. This time, she lasted two weeks, being evicted after the leader of the majority alliance, Derrick, became spooked by something she said about him and changed their plans to backdoor Christine and instead, evicted Nicole.

I know she came back and won a few years later, and actually lost fans for playing a nastier game, but still, this one hurt.

Crystal Farao, "Canada's Worst Driver" Season 5.

Unrepentant distracted driver, conducted business on her phone while driving. Drove like a maniac. Didn't care.

Had to leave the show after her brother-in-law was killed. A distracted driver changed lanes and ran his motorcycle off the road.

I was just watching the Great British Bake-off season where Jurgen gets eliminated before the finals. Like, I had been rooting for Giuseppi as the sentimental favorite, but... come on.

Nick from Hell's Kitchen got absolutely f**ing screwed in the final and people seem to unanimously agree about it

Was she also the one who stopped to slam a couple beers and a few shots on her bio shoot? Or was that someone else?

Pretty sure that was someone else. This one was in real estate and talked business while driving.

Really wish I could get all seasons of that show in decent quality. I think they’re on iTunes but, nuts to that. They’re all on YouTube but some in like 144p.

When that bastard Bret Michaels chose Taya instead of Mindy on "Rock of Love Bus."

I still love you, Mindy Hall.

Veronica Green on Drag Race UK season 3.

Basically went bankrupt to put together her outfits for the show, caught Covid the day before the cast came back from their enforced break in Season 2 which she would have absolutely walked, had to come back for season 3 with no budget because she hadn't been able to return to work in the interim, and then got eliminated like 3 weeks in because she was too busy helping everyone else to finish her own outfit on the sewing challenge
