As we say goodbye to summer, we say goodbye to reality TV's favorite season. There's something about summer's slow heat—not to mention those vast empty spaces in broadcast TV schedules—that truly allows reality stars to shine bright.
Whether your favorite shows are high-brow documentaries (Boston Med), extreme-lifestyle stories (19 Kids and Counting, Deadliest Catch or, heck, Jersey Shore), or just brain-melting reality dating competitions (Bachelor Pad), there's a summer reality TV show for every taste. Tell us which flavor you loved this summer:

It's more than just aw'ight for Idol's top dawg. Sources confirm to E! News that original American Idol judge Randy Jackson will definitely return for season 10 of the hit reality-talent competition, which is set to premiere in January 2011.

Just days after hanging out with her fellow DWTS cast members, Bristol Palin is ready to get down.
The former first daughter of Alaska just joined her partner Mark Ballas at a studio to begin rehearsing for the upcoming battle in the ballroom.
What's more, the sight of Bristol happily hoofing it may just put to rest some of the speculation that the 19-year-old has been a bit difficult when it comes to preparing for the competition.
Either way, we can't wait to tune in!
