			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/tv/tv-episode/whats-on-tv-tonight-wednesday-november-4th-2009/" target="_blank">Ghost Hunters</a></em> investigator Grant Wilson shocked the world of the easily-shocked earlier this month by announcing he was leaving the <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/syfy-132/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>Syfy</a> series. “It is with mixed emotion that <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/films/i-am' target='_blank'>I am</a> announcing my departure from the cast of <em>Ghost Hunters</em>. While <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/paranormal/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>paranormal</a> investigating has always been and will remain a <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/passion/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>passion</a> for me, after enjoying nearly eight successful seasons on television, I have made the decision to leave the series in order to focus on other aspects of my personal life,” Wilson said of his departure.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what other aspects he&#8217;s referring to, but I imagine they involve not running around in dark, abandoned insane asylums at 3 in the morning pretending to encounter ghosts.</p>
<p>In honor of Grant&#8217;s departure, we&#8217;ve put together this list of other totally fake <a href="http://www.screenjunkies.com/tv/tv-lists/5-reality-shows-that-allow-the-contestants-to-keep-their-dignity/" target="_blank">reality shows</a>. Honorable mentions to <em>The Real Gilligan&#8217;s Island</em>.</p>
<h4><em>The Bachelor</em></h4>
<p><a href="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/the-bachelor-e1329422637821.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-245517" title="the-bachelor" src="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/the-bachelor-e1329422637821.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>The fact that this show and its off-shoots and imitators have been on the air for a decade now is really disconcerting. At this point, it&#8217;s more a parody of itself than <em>Flavor of Love</em> ever was, with the only reason to watch being the total trainwrecks falling apart when they find out they can&#8217;t marry the abs handing out the roses. What&#8217;s saddest however is how America&#8217; buys into the tabloid machine that covers the <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/tragic-583/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>tragic</a> break-up of the winners two weeks after the season has wrapped.</p>
<h4><em>The Pick-Up Artist</em></h4>
<p><a href="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/pick-up-artist-e1329423269881.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-245524" title="pick-up-artist" src="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/pick-up-artist-e1329423269881.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="290" /></a></p>
<p>This show was total cheese. That said, it was the most I&#8217;ve been entertained as an adult. The series followed the be-top-hatted professional ass-crusher <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/mystery-779/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>Mystery</a> as he taught a group of duds how to get inside of <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/girls/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>girls</a>. However, after the finale it was revealed in the press that the so-called winner is actually an actor and the runner-up is a model. I just don&#8217;t understand why a man who considers himself <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/films/the-master' target='_blank'>the master</a> of tricking women into sexual <a href='http://www.screenjunkies.com/tag/congress/' class='linkify' target='_blank'>congress</a> would lie to us. I feel a little used.</p>
<h4><em>Cake Boss</em></h4>
<p><a href="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/CakeBoss-e1329422705758.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-245512" title="CakeBoss" src="http://cdn2.screenjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/CakeBoss-e1329422705758.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="264" /></a></p>
<p>Yeah. More like <em>Fake Boss</em>. So many things about this show bother me. Mostly, the high-drama positions they&#8217;re always putting the cakes in. I have an idea. Let&#8217;s make our cakes on the second floor and install an unreliable elevator. Looks like we&#8217;ll have to take the stairs. I wonder what will happen? It&#8217;s like a modern version of the prat-falling baker on <em>Sesame Street</em>.</p>
