Most Vile Reality TV Stars

In "honor" of the crowning of a Donato as the winner of Big Brother 8, I thought it would be an appropriate time to unveil my list of Top 10 Most Vile Reality Stars. And it, of course, starts, with the aforementioned Gruesome Twosome.

1T. Dick Donato, Big Brother 8 - Despite the glowing CBS edit of "Evel" Dick, many Big Brother fans like myself have seen this prick in action in all his misogynstic and homophobic glory. Dick has verbally abused most of the houseguests under the guise of "playing the game". He has threatened death, rape and sodomy, taunted someone about his sexual orientation, made sexually crude comments, pointed a lit cigarette at another contestant after she pushed him away for blowing smoke in her face and other countless horrible things.

1T. Daniele Donato, Big Brother 8 - At least with Dick, you knew what you were getting. With Daniele, she encouraged Daddy Dearest to go after the others and flashed that heinous shit-eating grin as he did it (see Bunny Hop competition when she told Dick to harrass Zach). Daniele is also the whiniest bitch that has ever hit the TV airwaves. "This is so haaaaaaaaaaard! This sucks! It's so fruuuuuuuuuuustrating!" Basically, she's smug, arrogant, whiny, bitchy, entitled, manipulative, bratty and self-centered. Oh, and racist too. And she cheated on her boyfriend on national TV.

3. Puck, Real World: San Francisco - The disgusting hygiene (blowing snot rockets, scooping out peanut butter from the jar with his scabby finger) was bad enough, but the homophobic comments he often made to AIDS-afflicted roommate Pedro Zamora were reprehensible. He was kicked out of the house by his fellow castmates before the show ended.

4. Jonny Fairplay, Survivor: Pearl Islands - Obnoxious, untrustworthy and pretty much a jackass. Yeah, that's reality TV gold. Fairplay showed an absolute lack of morals on the show when he engineered a pre-planned lie with his buddy, who announced to the cast that Fairplay's grandmother had died, which helped build up sympathy from the cast, who let him win the challenge.

5. Jonathan Baker, Amazing Race 6 - Another misogynistic creep, this guy with a Napoleon complex turned all his vitriol on his wife Victoria during the Amazing Race, constantly yelling and screaming at her and even shoving her on camera. He continued his "charming" ways on Reality Stars Fear Factor, getting into a shoving match with host Joe Rogan (not unsurprisingly, Jonny Fairplay was an instigator).

6. The Nerd Herd, Big Brother 6 - I could include them all separately (Eric, Maggie, Ivette, Jen, April, Beau), but since they basically acted as a group, I'll unite them in all their hypocritical, vile glory. They called themselves "The Friendship" but came to be known by BB viewers as the "Fiendship" and by the other houseguests as "The Nerd Herd" instead. They spent their entire time in the house blathering on about how good they were while talking about how evil the other group (and especially Janelle) was and making racist comments about Kaysar. Hypocrites.

7. The Weavers, The Amazing Race: Family Edition - They were the Nerd Herd of TAR with their mind-boggling hypocricy. Like the Nerd Herd, they spent most of their time talking about how good they were and whining about how bad everyone else was. All while insulting the locals of the towns they raced in, making fun of the other racers, throwing food at their cars (and littering the highway!), trying to sabotage other racers, and praying to God for help on the race. You hate to speak ill of people who have gone through such tragedy (Pa Weaver died in a car race at Daytona), but these people were just ... ugh. Rolly was ok, but the women in this family? Ugh.

8. Mike Boogie, Big Brother 2/Big Brother All-Stars - Mike Boogie had neither the skills nor the charm of his buddy Dr. Evil, Will Kirby. Will did absolutely nothing in any competition, lied to everyone, told everyone he was lying, and somehow managed to not only stay likeable but got everyone to basically do his bidding. Mike Boogie tried to do the same thing but still came off as a massive douche-bag. In All-Stars, he hooked up with Erika, using her to his advantage and convinced her that it was real while he was boasting in the diary room about how she was a ho. He was more harmless in Season 2, just a pathetic fame-whore with his white rapper persona and his proposing to Krista in the season finale.

9. Corey Clark, American Idol 2 - Not only was his voice like nails on a chalkboard, but he was the skeeviest skeeve that ever skeeved. As shown when he tried to further his "recording career" (HA!) by going to the media about an alleged affair with Paula Abdul just before his CD was to be released.

10. Alison Irwin, Big Brother 4/Big Brother All-Stars - She maniuplated and lied her way throughout the game and basically was in bed with all the guys in the house despite having a boyfriend (that she ended up going on the Amazing Race with ... and losing early. ha!). She trash talked a lot and I think she even said something bad about one of her housemates' children. I can't even remember half the things she did, but I remember her making my blood boil that season.

I absolutely agree with your list with the exception of Mike Boogie. I thought he was funny.
