Reality competition shows are undoubtedly my guilty pleasure.

I’ve seen every season of Survivor — many seasons more than once — as well as Big Brother. Both of these CBS reality shows are still going strong, perhaps due to the dynamic nature of these games — the way strategy and twists have constantly evolved over the years.

There’s also a slate of enduring competition shows like MTV’s The Challenge, Top Chef and Masterchef, The Voice and American Idol.

Though for as many successful and long-lasting reality competition shows as there are, still pumping out seasons, there are surely many more that got cancelled after a few seasons, or even just after a single season.

In fact, it’s the one-and-done competition shows that I’ll be taking a look at today — three to be exact. Three shows that I was particularly fond of and which, in my dream world, I’d like to see make a comeback onto our screens.

Whodunnit? is exactly what it sounds like — a good ol’ fashion murder mystery!
