These People Make Reality TV Worth Watching

There's no American Idol or Dancing With The Stars here -- I like my reality tv to come with a plot, or at least the pretense of one. And these are the people who pull it off and make me care enough to tune in every week. Love them or hate them, you can't deny, these people make reality TV so much fun to watch.

    Love her or hate her, there's no denying that Kim is fun to watch. Plus, you've gotta admire her for having the balls to sing on national tv. And the balls to confess that she rocks a weave. And, well, balls in general.

    Yeah, they're sickeningly adorable together. And yes, sometimes the plot points come off as a bit contrived. And yes, Oxygen uses enough soft focus lighting on this show to make Freddy Kreuger look gorgeous. But still, you can't deny that there's something compelling about Tori & Dean as a couple, and that they often come across as being significantly more genuine in front of the cameras as most. Gifted actors or great reality TV stars? I don't really care. Either way, I enjoy watching.

    Two gorgeous women who actually look like they enjoy the act of eating food. You'd think that would be a prerequisite for women on Top Chef, but after Bravo hired Kelly "if I eat, I'll break" Choi to host Top Chef Masters, I'm not so sure. Long story short, I love that these women talk confidently and knowledgeably about food in all of its glory, and I love that they're finally back for a new season so I can live vicariously through their taste buds (and their magical abilities to maintain killer figures while eating all that insanely good food).

    Let's face it, America's Next Top Model passed its expiration date about the same time that the WB became the CW. But, it's still worth tuning in every week to see what the Goddess Tyra has planned for her model minions. How many different ways can one woman find to be worshipped? I guess we'll have to keep watching the next 5,000,000 seasons to find out.

    She's like that really pretty girl in high school who also happens to be super sweet and just awkward enough that it's endearing. You want to hate her, but you just can't. So, instead, you watch her and her new husband Bill try to one-up "Newlyweds" on Style Network every week.

    This show is like The Real World on crack. Literally. I think they find these girls in the masses of Real World rejects who were just too screwed up to air on a network that aims for a PG-13 rating. Instead, these ladies end up on Oxygen, where we get to enjoy their trash-talking, catfighting, liver-destroying antics all over LA. Imagine watching the Real World, but minus any pretense of plot or narrative. Just full-on, hardcore, girl-on-girl drama. What could be more fun than that?

    Oh, Tim Gunn. I want you to be my best friend, father figure and personal stylist all rolled into one. You are the definition of fabulous, and when it comes to Project Runway, you always make it work. Good luck on your relationship with Andre, by the way. You make an adorable couple.

    Love her or hate her, you can't deny that Bethenny puts the real in 'Real Housewives.' I would love to go out for a night of straight talkin' and skinny girl margarita drinkin' with her, and the next best thing is watching her take no prisoners (and no shit from Kelly "I'm too good for everyone" Bensimmon) on tv.

    What could possibly be more fun than watching someone who has no filter between her brain and her mouth? Watching someone who has no filter between her brain and her actions. As evidenced by her recent dust-up with a little vial of you-know-what, Khloe's brash, brazen personality and total lack of self-censorship means she will always make TV worth wasting half an hour on.

Great list. But I think you forgot someone: how about a little Kendra Wilkinson action?
