Hot moms, sexy monsters, paternity ploys, chaotic pets. These 10 reality shows are so unhinged, we're watching even as we facepalm

- Taranna Khetpal

Milf, for those who didn't grow up on the American Pie films, stands for Mom I'd Like to F***.

The show is built around an appropriately sadistic premise: Eight single women aged 40-60 are brought to a luxury villa in Mexico with the intention of dating younger men. The twist? The men are actually their sons! Soyoung, one of the women, confessed to sleeping with her son Jimmy's best friend, creating a canon viral moment, and earning plenty of backlash.

Episodes are titled Mick the Dragon, Devon the Tiger and Paige the Gorgon making you wonder what you signed up for. Stay for the animal-related puns, at least.

Apocalypse Wow (UK, 2021, ITV2).Set in a Torture Dome that's part BDSM dungeon, part Fight Club, the game show pits D-list celebs against Superhuman Bosses in a series of bizarre, humiliating and physically demanding challenges. Celebs have climbed stripper poles, fought a gladiator, dodged a giant ball, and tried to keep candles lit while being whipped. In another, they donned silver wetsuits and fought a wrestler.
