The longest running reality show in Asia, The Apartment has contestants design and decorate a room each week for the chance to win a luxury apartment in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The Boonies National Geographic Off Grid Reality TV Show

The Boonies

Produced by National Geographic, the Boonies, as its name implies, focuses on individuals who have decided to “live off the grid” in uninhabited, wild locations around the US. Bear in mind that many viewers are skeptical of the veracity of these stories, so there is little consensus on the overall quality of this show. This review on Amazon is quite condemning of the Beaver Island episode and provides compelling supporting evidence. Regardless, we include this in our list of shows for its provocative topic and beautiful cinematography, and, most importantly, to help those seriously considering “off grid living” be more discerning of what this lifestyle really entails.

Themes: Adventure, Outdoor Living, Off Grid, Travel

Flip Wars on Hulu

Flip Wars

Episodes start out a bit like “Storage Wars” with known flip “frenemies” bidding on an auctioned home, sight unseen. The resultant bid winner is then treated to trash talk from the others, as they attempt to renovate and prepare the property for sale. The remodel part of each episode has the most value, from a viewer’s perspective, as the transformations of some of these Florida-based properties are pretty impressive given the low renovation budgets.
