The Top 10 List

Women We Love - Ladies of Reality TV

The Women of May, 2008

by Shane Cassidy

There's nothing quite as titillating as real women pushed to their limit or just plain pushing others to theirs'. Whether engaged in grueling vocal competition, entrenched in the mud on a remote island, scrambling to locate the next hot-spot on the map, or finding just the right pose for the perfect glamour shot, the women of reality television are sexy, tough and fiercely competitive.

Who's your favorite competitive babe or tough-as-nails host? From Survivor's Amy Cusack, the original American Idol Kelly Clarkson to Top Chef's—possibly the most beautiful woman on television period—Padma Lakshmi, LesbiaNation wants you to vote for your favorite Women We Love: Ladies of Reality TV! Here are 13 of reality TV's most down and dirty competitors and hosts.

But before we get "real" don't forget to check out the hot rocker babes you voted in from our April list. We asked and you responded by voting for your favorite girls with guitars, singer-songwriters, bad-asses and crooners, which now comprise the LesbiaNation Top Ten Women Who Rock!

Now we venture on to our brand new list for May. We asked you to weigh in on your fave women of reality TV and you spoke loud and clear. We've compiled a list based on your suggestions. It's up to all of you to vote to determine the definitive Top 10!

Coming next month: Big-Screen Bad-Assed babes. Which big-screen badge-wielding, gun-toting cop, bad girl or plain-old ass-kicker makes you swoon? Want your voice to be heard? Send in your suggestions for our June Women We Love list to top10@lesbianation.com. Be sure to put "Women We Love" in your subject line so you don't end up in the spam box!

The namesake for reality TV's great experiment on MTV's Tila Tequila: A Shot at Love, self-confessed bisexual and uber-femme Tila Tequila drank, caressed, canoodled and kissed her way through the show's first season until she'd narrowed it down to cutie-pie butch Dani Cambell and all-around regular guy Bobby Banhart. Although Tila likely made the wrong choice picking Bobby, she kissed a lot of princesses to get to that frog.

Smokin' actress and model Tian Kitchen didn't win The Amazing Race season four but she looked damned fine doing it. The year that launched gay icon Reichen Lehmkuhl, Tian, and her teammate and best gal pal Jaree, laughed and out-drama-d their way into sixth place finishing last in nearly every contest. But it's not her competitive skills as much as her undeniable beauty and charm that landed Tian on our list.

Possibly television's most beautiful woman, Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi adds sizzle and heat to every episode. An Indian-American actress, cookbook author and former supermodel, Padma's taste is as good as she looks. Besides lending eye candy to the Top Chef kitchen, Padma recently released her perfectly tongue-in-cheek cookbook, Tangy, Tart, Hot and Sweet. And that's Padma in a nutshell!

Possibly the scariest reality competition of all: facing off against under-fed, catty models, openly-lesbian, aspiring super-model Kim Stolz shook up America's Next Top Model. A perfect mélange of tom-boy and catwalk-ready model, Stoltz even managed to stir up a little dyke drama kissing and confusing another contestant.

Kelly Clarkson Stats:

The original American Idol with the big belter voice, Kelly Clarkson's proved her staying power in pop music. Cute Kelly's break-out power hit "Since You've Been Gone," became an instant fave among her gay girl fans. Whether she's churning out Clive Davis sanctioned hits or venturing out on her own in a proto-feminist move against the man, Kelly's got the voice, the face, the bod and the chops.

Sex kitten with the pristine vocals, Katherine McPhee remains the hottest girl to writhe around on the America Idol stage for the viewers' pleasure. Although she landed at number two, losing to Taylor Hicks, Kat's Ivory Girl smile and skin won over the gay gal vote.

A former women's professional football player turned Top Chef, out lesbian Josie Smith-Malave knows how to cook. A break-our favorite from the show's second season, Miami-born but New York City based adorable Josie, is one spicy gal. She sliced, diced and seasoned her way into the girls' hearts well before Padma Lakshmi asked her to "please pack her knives and go."

This raven-haired babe made history as Big Brother's first gay female contestant during the show's sixth season. A waitress-turned teacher, of Dominican and Cuban descent, she was also the first Cuban-American woman to lock-down in the Big Brother house of horrors. Ivette Corredero made such an impression; producers brought her back the following season to shake it up on Big Brother All-Stars.

A Shot at Love's break-out star Dani Cambell lost the round but won the match. Tila Tequila picked regular-Joe Bobby over hot-assed soft-butch Dani, but now Dani's a bona-fide lesbian celeb. A firefighter by day and fashion designer and lesbian icon by night, Dani's launching her "Futch" clothing line, for cool girls and boys.

A career reality star, take-no-prisoners tough-ass Coral Smith ruled The Real World: New York in 2001. Eight incarnations of The Real World / Road Rules and one season of Battle of the Reality Network Stars later and reality fans can't get enough of Coral's straight-talk. And as a little icing on the cake Coral copped to her girl on girl tendencies in 2007.

A model and barista who posed in Playboy in 1996, Ami Cusack is above all, a Survivor. The Colorado native made history as one of the show's first openly bi or lesbian characters and for forming a women's alliance in Survivor: Vanuatu. While she failed to win that throw down, producers knew that viewers wanted more Ami and brought her back to kick serious tail while sporting a string bikini in Survivor: Micronesia.
