Reality TV fans were shocked when the winner of the Best Docu-Reality Series category was announced at the MTV Movie & TV Awards. To the disappointment of many, the award went to none other than the popular reality show 'The Kardashians,' which sent fans into an uproar and they took to social media to voice their displeasure.

'The Kardashians' has been a reality TV staple for more than a decade, following the lives of the Kardashian-Jenner family and their various exploits. However, many fans were hoping for a change of pace this year. Some even went so far as to claim that the show had run its course and no longer deserved recognition. As angry comments flooded social media platforms, it was clear that the fans had spoken and they were not satisfied with the outcome of the awards show.

'The Kardashians' faces stiff competition at MTV Movie & TV Awards

It's worth noting that 'The Kardashians' faced some stiff competition in the Best Docu-Reality Series category. Among the other nominees were popular shows like 'Jersey Shore: Family Vacation,' 'Family Reunion: Love & Hip Hop Edition,' 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' and 'Vanderpump Rules.' While fans of these shows were likely disappointed with the outcome, it's clear that the decision was a difficult one to make, with so many beloved reality shows vying for the top spot.

One thing is for sure, reality TV fans are a passionate and dedicated bunch, and they aren't afraid to voice their opinions. With social media serving as a platform for fans to meet and share their thoughts on the industry, it's clear that reality TV's popularity shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. 

'No way The Kardashians actually beat Jersey Shore'

Internet was furious after 'The Kardashians' won the award at the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards. A user said, "I was watching the #mtvmovieandtvawards — and then The Kardashians won. Really?! Over #JSFamilyVacation? Please. #MTVAwards." Another user wrote, "A boring episode of Love & Hip Hop will always be better than Keeping up with the Kardashians #MTVAwards." Some users compared the show with the fellow nominees and clearly expressed their disappointment, "Fans are clearly not picking the winners because no way did the Kardashians actually beat @JerseyShore #MTVAwards." Another disappointed user said, "So the MTV awards are so weak this year they are just showing clips from previous award shows. Also not having 90 day Fiancee nominated for reality is a joke. Then you give it to the Kardashians and they didn't even show up to accept." An angry user wrote, "RuPaul’s Drag Race should’ve won not Keeping Up with the Kardashians #MTVAwards."
