Emmys: ‘Shark Tank’ Snaps ‘Queer Eye’s 6-Year Winning Streak To Reclaim Structured Reality Program Crown

ABC’s Shark Tank had been on a roll, winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Structured Reality Program four times in a row from 2014-2017 before it was dethroned by Queer Eye in 2018. Netflix’s reboot of the popular 2000s Bravo series had dominated the category since, winning every year since its February 2018 launch. (The original Queer Eye For The Straight Guy won in 2004.)
