Ten Favorite Reality Show Contestants

I'm in the process of listing my Ten Favorite Reality Show Contestants of All Time. Some of these folks I fell in love with for the talent; others simply had personalities that won me over. Any way you look at them, though, these are my faves.

Please note: I did not include any person who was a "celebrity" before they appeared on a reality show, so all contestants from Dancing with the Stars and other shows like it were ineligible for this list. Please click on the name below to read why each individual made the cut.

10. Sam Talbot, Top Chef

9. Adrienne Curry, Top Model

8. Elliott Yamin, American Idol

7. Travis Wall, So You Think You Can Dance
