Pump rules may hands down be the best reality show I've ever seen. I started a 10 season rewatch after Scandoval broke, and I'm happy I did.
I don't think loving a reality show has to be justified, but Pump inspires me. Especially beginning the show with Stassi at 23 and being 23 currently. It is reassuring to see her make a ton of mistakes, and still make it out ok. Even ones that seem permanent, like losing your best friend because your ego got too big.
The show did take a dip I would say season 7-9. It was slower, the group seemed to be maturing, and the new people came all at once. Season 10 felt like we finally got back to our roots. The scandal definitely helped, and I am a little concerned where the show would be without it. I have low hopes that Season 11 will be even close to as good, and think we may be dipping back to 7-9. But every show has its peak and when it was there, Pump was unbeatable.
