Watching a bunch of singles battle it out for the affections of one (subpar) dude? You got it. Peering in as oldies go on their first date in years? So wholesome! Gleefully enjoying a bunch of queer women dating each other's partners to try and repair their own relationships? Uh, you do you, boo.

So if you've got the lovebug, you can easily find a new show to binge right on this list. From The Bachelor to Married At First Sight Australia, these are the best reality TV dating shows you should watch.
