Audrina Patridge

She spent most of her time on The Hills chasing after her dirt-bag boyfriend Justin Bobby, but Audrina's bionic bikini body might be the show's best. Our suspicions were confirmed in 2008 when multiple nude shoots "accidentally" leaked to the Internet. So, seriously, why is Heidi the only one with a Playboy cover? Maybe Hef can make it happen for AP when her solo reality show debuts in 2010.

Ana Murillo

Who doesn't love a woman in uniform? (Besides the prisoners at Abu Ghraib, that is.) This sexy Latina cop has IHOP-worthy stacks to match a don't-fuck-with-me demeanor that must be kinda intense between the sheets. Frisk us, please.

Holly Madison

Talk about white girl lost. While working at Hooters to pay for her tuition at Loyola Marymount, she was "discovered" and invited to swing by the Playboy Mansion, where Hugh Hefner made her his bottom chick. It gets worse: During her time at the Mansion, she got a nose job, a boob job (from an A to D cup), and a Playboy Bunny tramp stamp. Is it right that we'd still beat?

Julianne Hough

If not for partner Adam Corolla and an emergency appendectomy, this sexy winner of two Dancing with the Stars competitions (seasons four and five, with Apolo Anton Ohno and Helio Castroneves respectively) and Emmy nominee for "Outstanding Choreography" would've won three titles. Now she's off singing country music and, in related news, we'd enjoy a chance to show her what "boot-scootin' boogie" really means.

Arissa Hill

Not only was Arissa hot, she also was one of the more gangster chicks on The Real World. Besides getting into verbal spats with her roomates, Arissa put a chick in check after she got called a "bitch" at a Vegas nightclub. After the show, Arissa stripped down for Playboy's Girls of Reality TV DVD, which we have never ever downloaded from a filesharing service.

Jacinda Barrett

One of the more successful reality show vixens, J.B. flipped an appearance on TRW: London into a decent Hollywood career of bit roles and the occasional almost-leading-lady turn (Ladder 49, anybody?). But really, anything short of soft porn and hard drugs qualifies as "successful" for reality show grads, no?

Jenn Pinto

Who would have thought that one of the kids on Sesame Street would wind up on a VH1 reality show? Well, to be honest, we're surprised more of them didn't. But that's besides the point. The 23-year-old Puerto Rican/Ecuadorian was the most focused and sexiest contestant on the short-lived Viva Hollywood!, and what did that get her? Number 44 on our list!

Melissa Rycroft

Practically a reality TV professional, Rycroft got a taste of the limelight when she won a spot on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders thanks to Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team. After two years on the squad, she decided to spread her...wings, and managed to win season 13 of The Bachelor. (Sidenote: 13? Seriously? That parade of desparation's been on for 13 seasons?) Unfortunately, as on so many previous seasons, Rycroft's beau-to-be broke off the engagement. Back to the pom-poms!

Monica "Danger" Leon

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Let's say you're a really pretty young lady (with a kinda sorta mustache) who admits to having engaged in prostitution (her elegant phrasing was "I sucked dick for free, and I've gotten 10 grand for it"), and you go on a reality TV show where you claim to sleep with the star every night for two months, and get pregnant (albeit with a child that's not his). The riddle is: which is to blame for your week-long stay in a psychiatric hospital? Trick question! (No, seriously, trick question! Oh, never mind.)

Ashlie Grey

Ashlie Grey's MySpace page looks like a lot of girls' Myspace page: a creatively spelled name, party photos, inspirational quotes, standing next to treacherous-looking men...wait a second: This girl is a stripper, isn't she?! Is that what Harlem Heights is supposed to be about? Never could figure it out. Oh well, at least she's pretty.

Laeticia "Misfit" Guzman

"Came to show ya, Misfit's persona/On looks alone, I give your man a boner." Okay, so this British bombshell (also famous for being Proof's overseas jump-off) wasn't the nicest rapper on ego trip's hilarious VH1 competition, but her fake twos and flawless figure always had us tuning in for more.

Angela "Myammee" Pitts

Flavor Flav may not have picked this Florida native with the phonetically spelled moniker, but that didn't deter her from showing the world her mounds of twos talent on I Love Money, where she milked VH1 for $250,000. With money like that, she could have her South Beach surgically enhanced and still have enough left over to add a panhandle!

Hilary Cruz

Miss Teen USA 2007 was hot as balls on Donald Trump's MTV reality show about pageant chicks sharing an apartment, so we forgive her not being quite as memorable as her predecessor, Katie Blair—who was rumored to have gotten drunk, blown lines, sucked face, and slore-danced with Miss USA 2006, Tara Conner. God bless the USA.

Brooke Crittendon

Brooke holds a special place in Kanye's ex-girl-to-the-next-girl saga, being both a next and an ex. But that didn't mean she couldn't parlay her time in the spotlight into a role on BET's blackbuster (or is it blackluster?) version of The Hills. Thankfully, she's a reality chick with a day job to fall back on: as an associate producer for MTV's True Life, she helped bring you documentary classics like "I'm Addicted to Porn."

Amber Brkich

If ever there was a reality TV power couple, it would be this Croatian beauty and her fame-whore of a husband, Rob Mariano, whom she met while on Survivor All-Stars. Between the two of them, they've been on more reality shows than Diddy and Flava Flav combined. But with a rack and snackpack like hers, we don't mind one bit.

Arika Sato

Arika got bounced in the second episode of the second season of My New BFF after she made out with the groom-to-be at P.H.'s friend's bachelor party. Irony meters wigged out when Paris offered this explanation for kicking Arika off: "But seriously, making out with the groom? How could I ever trust her around a guy I'm dating?" When it later emerged that Arika probably knew what "irony" meant (she double majored in Communications and Japanese Studies at UC-San Diego), Paris is reported to have replied, "Told you so. I don't need no girlfriend that's always studying the periodic table and shit."

Cara Zavaleta

After her squad failed the Glacier Climb in the 12th cycle of Road Rules, Cara quickly dropped her trousers in Playboy and was Playmate of the Month in November 2004. She then appeared in various Real World/Road Rules Challenges, and was last seen in former Playboy Mansion tenant Bridget Marquardt's Bridget's Sexiest Beaches. We know where this one's headed, and we've already got our Google Alert ("Cara Zavaleta" + "porn debut") fired up and ready to go.

Johanna Botta

The Wikipedia entry for The Real World: Austin states, "Johanna Botta is a Peruvian, born in Lima, Peru, who moved to the U.S. when she was eleven, and had been living in Southern California when she was cast. She aspires to be a clinical therapist, specializing in marriage and counseling for families. MTV.com describes her as highly opinionated and argumentative." We describe her as a hot little ball of Peruvian hotness. Ditch the swimmer and call us, baby.

Connie "Mz. Berry" Deveaux

Yeah, she's a little older than the rest of the chickenheads on the show, but Mz. Berry is finer than almost all of 'em. With a true Coke-bottle frame, the mother of two is just the kind of girl Ray J should be settling down with. Or at least smashing and then passing to the homies like he did with Danger.

Advertisement

Lauren Conrad

The good girl who pretty much stayed good parlayed her way from Cali to NYC and landed an internship at Teen Vogue. Which, if you're gorgeous and rich, isn't that difficult a feat.

Elizabeth "Caviar" Ahmed

We really thought it was gonna work out between Ray J and Elizabeth "Caviar" Ahmed. He gave her a sophisticated stripper name that honored her Russian heritage and kept her around to compete for his love even though she couldn't speak English at all. She was that hot. We're devastated. We had to return the wedding gift and everything!

Chandra "Deelishis" Davis

Flavor Flav gave birth to many girls' pseudo-celebrity careers, but none of his willing contestants had the assets like Chandra Davis, aka "Deelishis". After beating out New York in Flavor of Love 2, Deelishis went on to appear in classy magazine spreads (Smooth, Black Men) and star in rap videos like Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" and Paul Wall's "Break 'Em Off". Oh, and about her ass? Just look at it, boyeeeeee!

Jo De La Rosa

You wouldn't think of any the Real Housewives of Orange Country had any sense, but Jo, who has a degree in English and Comparative Literature, was different than the rest of 'em. Not only was she the baddest of the bunch, she was the only one who didn't wanna stay at home, gossip, and blow her hubby's dough. Don't get it twisted, though; she still went through money like a paper shredder. When in Rome, right?

Whitney Port

Whitney went from Lauren Conrad's shoulder-to-cry-on on The Hills to getting her own reality show based in NYC creatively titled The City. Although Whit has gone through the usual guy trouble, she probably possesses the fewest trifey characteristics of any girl on either show, making her the most eligible wifey MTV has seen in recent years, Alicia Keys notwithstanding.

Veronica Portillo

You know all those Road Rules you never watched 'cause you didn't know they existed? Veronica Portillo was on, like, eight of them. Originally on Road Rules: Semester at Sea, she went on to not only pose in Playboy (Hugh gets 'em all, sooner or later), but she managed to start a mildly successful company, College Dropout, a t-shirt company specializing in ironic t-shirts. For all intents and purposes, we'll call that a win.

Cher Tenbush

With a name like that, trying to unlock shy dudes' swagger on Beauty and the Geek was a natural fit, which is why she was the Season Two winner. We're not greedy, though; we'd be fine if she was Cher Onebush, as long as she was Cher-ing it with us.

Kat Von D

There's something sexy about a girl with sleeves, and this Mexican-American tattoo artist has become the epitome of the hot, tatted-up bombshell. First making waves on Miami Ink in 2005, she started her own shop (and spin-off show) with the premiere of LA Ink two years later. We have to wonder how she earned her last name, though...

Camila Alves

It ain't exactly rocket science, but respect Bravo as the architect: drama-filled reality competition + hot-as-balls host = a show that both men and women will like. So, joining Padma on Bravo next year is McConaughey's Brazilian baby mama, Camila Alves, as the host of the third season of Shear Genius. Sure, sloganeers, we'll watch what happens.

Elle "Luscious" Navarro

Still lookin' for love in season two, Ray J dubbed curvaceous video chick Elle Navarro "Luscious" because she looks like a piece of Bubblicious gum (and after a few years in the industry, she wasn't exactly Winter-fresh, ya diiiiiiig?). Later, it was discovered that the homie DJ Dre Sinatra had already popped that bubble—much like the homie Detail, Ray J's producer, had thrown caution to the wind and run up in "Danger" during the first season. For the love of Ray J, we suggest he strap on. Twice.

Katharine McPhee

There's nothing wrong with being runner-up, especially when you're a brunette stunna who overcame bulimia to seduce the nation with your throaty voice. Mmmm, throaty. Sorry, what? Where were we? Oh, right, fantasizing about stealing her away from her old-ass husband.

Lisa Wu Hartwell

If you give your wife everything she could ever want/need and she still finds it appropriate to go on reality television, it is imperative that you go into the safe, find that pre-nup, and call your lawyer. Nothing good comes out of the Real Housewives franchise, as all of these guys should have figured out. Well, nothing except for next Thursday night's mental picture with this one. Hot!

Rachel Smith

While Caitlin Upton proved true the stereotype about blonds and beauty queens back in '07, Rachel Smith—a magna cum laude graduate of Belmont University—was racking up tiaras and sashes. We didn't know this, but after Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, and Miss Universe win their titles, they all live together in an apartment owned by Donald Trump. Obviously, MTV already knew this, as they immediately threw a camera on 'em. We're still waiting for the NSFW footage to leak. Should be any day now...

Christa "Chardonnay" Nolley

How do you distinguish yourself from the pack of desperate skeezers vying for Ray J's attention? For starters, stripping down to your bikini and making a human banana split will help. This ATL chick is the one Ray should have picked: the perfect combination of Magic City moves and down-to-earth, mom-approved attitude.

Melissa Smith

As the story that we've never heard goes, this cute Canadian tried to a hatch a career as the lead singer of some girl group before venturing out on her own. As for why we never heard the story, it all became clear when she hit the reality TV circuit: she has less talent than Kevin Federline, failing to make it in both Danity Kane and the reincarnated Pussycat Dolls. Don't worry, ma, we hear Whole Foods is hiring.

Sara Racey Tabrizi

After a single season, Tyra's catwalk competition had already made it clear that only the boniest need apply. Then came Cycle 2's Sara, a breath of well-rounded Persian fresh air who had just enough bounce to the ounce to make her as fly in real life as she might be in a photoshoot. Shit, even Blaxim King Magazine co-signed.

Vanessa Simmons

Rev Run may not have been able to give birth to another talented MC (unless you count Diggy! Sorry, JoJo), but he sure did make some gorgeous daughters. The most beautiful of all being the older, bustier, budding actress (lolz) Vanessa. After leaving the nest, this bird flew to Cali with her sister and friends to try and make it on her own with MTV cameras in tow. Unfortunately, they all had to learn the hard way: being rich doesn't make you interesting.

Leah "Cashmere" Minor

So, not only did Cashmere have the greatest twos on the show (according to the always scholarly Complex), but she also happens to be our top choice from For the Love of Ray J. Maybe it's because she faked those tears in her goodbye episode in order to get to the Complex offices as fast as possible. It's hard to say, but that's what we're going with.

Coral Smith

We'll go ahead and say it right here: Coral has the best all-natural twos in the history of reality TV. Shit, maybe any kind of TV. She got gravity-defying, GIF-worthy, let-me-nestle-my-face-in-between-those-and-fall-right-asleep-type breastesses. Plus, you can't spell "Coral" without "oral." Just sayin'.

Carrie Underwood

An American Idol winner, Carrie gave us a reason to pay some sort of attention to country music. The white-bread hottie from Oklahoma went platinum, scored multiple Grammy wins, and dated Tony Romo. Ugh, we guess two outta three ain't bad.

Sarah Larson

How does a winner of Fear Factor wind up on People's Most Beautiful People list? By dating George Clooney and showing up to award shows on his arm. Future gold diggers, take note.

Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander

Stallion! She might've enticed Flav's crispy ass for a little exposure on the inaugural season of Flavor of Love, but her easy demeanor and undeniable frame made her a VH1 staple for reunion humiliations joints like I Love Money. Which she clearly does...way more than Flav.

Kourtney Kardashian

There was a moment there, some time during the first season of the show, when a few heads were actually suggesting that Kourtney might be the hottest Kardashian sister. Yeah, they were totally fucking mistaken. But even as a MILF to be with a K-Fedesque baby daddy, Kourtney is still pretty hot.

Adrienne Curry

Since winning the first season of Tyra's show, has Adrienne become America's top model? Not exactly, but this slim stunner has stayed on our minds with a slew of Playboy pictorials and appearances in other reality shows like My Fair Brady and The Surreal Life. Once criticized by Tyra for her thick accent, Adrienne gets props over here for keeping it extra real, recently causing a stir when she twittered, "Playing World Of Warcraft butt naked & stoned. Perfect Sunday!" We're in love.

Kristen Cavallari

An original member of the Laguna Beach cast when she was a 17-year-old high school junior, K.C. was the first person to beef with one Lauren Conrad (well, the first to do so on M-T-muthaeffin'-V, that is). Kristen missed out when L.C. hit the vapidosphere with The Hills, but now, in a cruel/delicious/completely irrelevant twist of fate, Kristin's on Lauren's spin-off show, and Lauren's not. Folks, this is why people hate America. Well, that and our Muslim president.

Eva Pigford

According to brownsista.com, "America's Next Top Model winner Eva Pigford is the latest celebrity to be captured on film doing what we have all done—making love." Sorry, brownsista.com, but in our book, "gonzo porn for money" and "making love" are two different things, but hey, more power to you ladies. It's up to debate as to whether or not the tape is the actual ANTM star, but Eva is hot either way, and it's not too far of a jump for our imaginations. Eyes up!

Irulan Wilson

A biracial artsy chick from the Bronx with a pretty face? Yeah, we're sure she doesn't have issues. *Snicker* Drama or not, Irulan is definitely the type of aggressively smart x aggressively pretty girl you could see becoming your ex-girlfriend.

Leona Lewis

Before she won the third season of X-Factor and landed a $10 million contract with J Records, Leona Lewis was just another pretty Brit who couldn't land a record deal. Some say if you look at a certain angle, she resembles a lion, but we've always looked her from a flattering prospective. One that reveals a cat we wanna pet.

Nicole Scherzinger

She's amazingly beautiful, she's by no means the brightest bulb in the pack, and she can't really sing all that well. Is it really any surprise that Lewis Hamilton's arm candy came from the land of reality TV? Through Popstars she wound up in an *NSync supporting group, Eden's Crush, before realizing that she was badder than them all and bounced to lead the Pussycat Dolls. Smartest thing she's done in her entire life. That and appearing on her own Complex cover, of course.

Jamie Chung

In the ultimate shit-show setting that is MTV's The Real World, Jamie Chung managed to not partake in any trifey-esque activities. While some Real Worlders are still caught up in doing reunion shows and scoring extra roles in movies, Chung has parlayed her good looks and great personality into a budding acting career. If you didn't see her Sorority Row, you probably saw her sexy photoshoot as our Hot Complex for October/November last year.

Aubrey O'Day

Before Diddy kicked her out of Danity Kane for being an oversexed attention seeker, Complex's favorite (allegedly) breast-implanted Columbia Law dropout was just one of 10,000 chicks desperately trying to impress him on Making the Band 3. And impress she did. When Diddy watches a white girl dance and listens to her sing and says she must have "black in her family," you know she's got talent. Or he's trying to inseminate her.
