Reality TV Shows as Zodiac Signs

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Arizona chapter.

Reality TV is the perfect binge-worthy shows for mindless entertainment and to get rid of your need for drama. Reality TV shows have their personal themes and personalities, mostly because of the prominent personalities that can appear on the shows. But with the prominent characters, it’s interesting to see what zodiac signs would fit the overall characteristics of these TV shows. Here are the reality TV shows as zodiac signs:

ARIES: EX ON THE BEACH

Aries love to be courageous and fiery, which is the perfect combination for participants on Ex on the Beach. The stars of this reality TV show are the perfect mix of staying independent and not caving into past relationships and being impulsive and. Willing to jump into anything. That is the standard way Aries handles things though.

TAURUS: SIESTA KEY
