After she joined the cast of The Real Housewives Of Orange County in the series’ fourth season, Gretchen Rossi quickly became one of the show's focal points. And the best thing about this sexy southern belle is that she isn’t actually a housewife! Yes, even though she’s been dating her boyfriend, Slade, for several years, the two aren’t married.

With her seductive smile and piercing eyes, we’d be shocked if this knockout isn’t the next big reality TV star.
Joanna Krupa

Joanna Krupa's beauty needs no explanation. Regardless of the drama she gets into in South Beach, Krupa's stunning and stupefying sex appeal could get the model out of any tricky situation in our book. Just take a look at her photo shoots for FHM, Maxim and Playboy, to name a few.
