20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
Garrick & Dannielle Merrifield
They Have Created Many Memorable TV Moments
Garrick and Dannielle Merrifield have become the most recognizable faces of TLC's Seeking Sister Wife franchise. Garrick had a vision years ago where he imagined his life with five wives, believing that God wanted him to pursue polygamy. The Buena Vista, Colorado, couple ed the show in season 3, and have provided fans with endless entertainment. When viewers first met Garrick and Dannielle, they were already pursuing a Brazilian woman named Roberta Pache. Roberta could not speak any English, and they relied on a translator app to communicate.
Garrick and Dannielle involved their children and parents in the relationship with Roberta, having been down to Mexico to all meet up as a family. In Seeking Sister Wife season 4, however, Roberta broke up with Garrick and Dannielle over text after Garrick had sent Roberta a large sum of money and they had gotten her K-1 visa approved. Dannielle had an infamous tearful meltdown about Roberta's callousness that solidified their entertainment value on the show.
Moreover, Garrick and Dannielle should return to TV screens because they never seem to learn their lesson, and it's wild to watch.
Just a few months after Roberta broke their hearts, the couple were back dating a new, younger Brazilian woman named Nathalia Lima, and making plans for Garrick to propose to her on their trip to Mexico. Like with Roberta, Garrick was trying to get Nathalia pregnant during their visits. Also like Roberta, Nathalia's relationship with Garrick and Dannielle fell apart after the pair started pursuing new women while their Brazilian sister wife was not in America yet and was uncomfortable with Garrick dating beforehand.
Garrick and Dannielle recently had a baby, and don't appear to have given up on their dreams of expanding their family. They make questionable decisions around their polygamist dreams, which makes them messy to watch, and reality TV needs drama. Garrick and Dannielle will likely be back in future seasons and put their suspect dating choices on display once again.
Dimitri & Ashley Snowden
They Were Problematic But Entertaining
Dimitri and Ashley Snowden were featured in Seeking Sister Wife seasons 1-3, where the LA-based couple wanted to adopt a plural lifestyle. They courted Vanesa Cobbs in season 2 and even had a ceremony signifying their union. However, Vanessa left the family abruptly after that, and the couple pursued South African native Christeline Petersen, who wanted to the Snowdens along with her daughter.
However, things ended badly between Christeline, Ashley, and Dimitri, with Christeline petitioning for a restraining order against Dimitri. Once news of that broke, Vanessa spoke out in of Christeline, although she didn't make any allegations of her own. There must have been a lot that viewers didn't see, but it's left Seeking Sister Wife fans wanting to know the tea.
Dimitri had a lot of controversy surrounding him, and while that could be something TLC wants to stay away from, controversy does bring viewers.
Dimitri and Ashley's dynamic is something that fans want to see more of, especially now that there have been allegations and drama surrounding the couple. Watching Dimitri and Ashley explain things from their perspective in the future and continue seeking a plural lifestyle could be as entertaining for viewers as their original time on the show was.
Tosha & Sidian Jones
They Are A Sweet & Genuine Couple
Tosha and Sidian Jones were perhaps the sweetest and most genuine couple of the franchise. They did not pursue polygamy for religious reasons and just wanted to have a bigger family with more love. Tosha was Sidian's second wife, and the polygamist lifestyle proved to be too much for Sidian's first wife, who left the family. In Seeking Sister Wife season 4, Sidian went to The Philippines to pursue a woman named Arielle, and he had a successful proposal.
Sidian and Arielle were going to pursue the K-1 visa after that. They were not featured in Seeking Sister Wife season 5, and they were missed. Their positive outlook on the lifestyle coupled with their sweet family dynamics made them a couple worth watching and following.
Nick, April, Jennifer, & Danielle Davis
They Are Committed To Seeking
The Davis family is led by Nick Davis, who believes in having his wives work while he stays at home collecting knowledge. Nick's three white wives, April, Jennifer, and Dannielle were the ones to find new wives to their clan. Danielle ed the Davis family in season 4, and in season 5, the foursome was pursuing a woman named Jasmine. The Davis family has been accused of manufacturing their storyline with Jasmine, after it came out that they had already known her years ago, however, they have never spoken out against that.
Furthermore, it looks like Danielle is no longer with the family. Seeking Sister Wife fans want to know more about the interworkings of this family, and if Danielle did part ways, uncovering the real reason she did. Between Nick's personal views and the strange family dynamics, the Davis family is interesting to watch. They also want to continue adding wives, so they are the perfect family to continue following along with.
Seeking Sister Wife is available to stream on Discovery+.
