The original The Real World on MTV was fucking riveting, kind of like what you are saying about big brother in the beginning.

Amish Mafia. I don't think I've ever watched a television show before (including reality tv) that enraged me at how stupid, insulting, and downright ridiculous every aspect of this show was. My roommates at the time were watching a fucking marathon of this shit and somehow got through who knows how many hours of this show Discovery was playing. I watched one episode and wanted to find the guy who approved this abortion and run him down with my car.
A very close second goes to Jersey Shore. Anyone who expects good television from MTV is kidding themselves, but goddamn they hit rock bottom with this one. The fact it was so popular when it was aired and appealed to so many people my age is embarrassing to think about.
I would include things like Honey Boo Boo and any program where parents force their kids to perform in beauty pageants, but I guess I can't judge them because I've never watched them. Just seeing commercials or hearing about them makes my skin crawl.
I can't believe how much of my life I wasted with How I Met Your Mother. What a hot mess that show was.
Add the Crow series to the list. Watched maybe 2-3 episodes and that was enough.

I wanted to slap everyone in it.
