Taylor Hicks - American Idol 5




SOUL PATROL!!!!!! It hurts me deeply that Taylor has become a joke to American Idol and when someone wants to compare something to a Idol flop they referance him. It really isn't right, cause Taylor is a great artist. As usual Clive Davis ruined him and turned him into something he wasn't, but I dare any of you to listen to his pre Idol music and tell me he isn't of top quality. That's originally what made me love him and it never changed that entire season. Sure he danced around and was a bit goofy and sure he pandered to the audience a bit...but he did what it took to win, and you can't fault that. I have always credited him with being one of the smartest Idol contestants ever, he knew just being a gray haired guy with a good voice wasn't gonna get him the win, so he started being OTTP and he ran away with the show. He should get more respect for that. Since then he's been doing broadway shows that he's in for like 5 minutes, but I truly hope some day he goes back to his roots and becomes successful, cause I think he could do it.

Jasmine & Dave - Beauty and the Geek 4




I assure you they did not just get this ranking due to Jasmine's abnormally squeaky voice...but that is part of it. These two are the ebst team in Beauty and the Geek history. Dave was a all around good guy and Jasmine was just adorable in everything she did. At first there was some tension cause Dave didn't really want her as his partner cause he didn't think she was too bright. But he soon came to learn that she was the best partner possible to have in his corner. Meanwhile she learned so many things from the geeks and really opened herself up to the experience. My favorite moment was when she went back to Dave's hometown and took part in his favorite activity LARPING and she totally embraced her role as the princess and killed the evil villains. In the end they were up against Sam and Nicole and thankfully the producers avoided having a awful winner by making it the first season to be decided through a public vote, which of course Jasmine and Dave walked away with. It's hard to explain their awesomeness without you watching it on your own, but trust me it's worth it.

Skipper Charlie - The Real Gilligan's Island




It's on like a chicken bone! Skipper Charlie was a fascinating story, born and raised in the swamps of Louisiana, Charlie had fended for himself his whole life. His parents left him and his brother at a very early age, his brother died and all Charlie had was himself and his boat. And because of that, he never did get close to too many people. He lived a life of Solitude, which is why him being on a show like this was so unique. And Charlie thrived in it, for the most part. There were quite a few people he didn't get along with and who quite honestly picked on him, but Charlie wasn;t one not to defend himself. And in the end, despite everyone's differences they all came out respecting Charlie. He was outnumbered very early on after his tribe was picked off, leaving him to need immunity a lot. But when he needed it he always got it, and with his one true ally Ginger at his side...he was set for the end game. She wanted him to win cause she felt he most represented what the show was all about, and I think thats what most of the viewers thought as well. Him winning the final challenge was one of the most epic things ever, running through the water with the torch at hand and lighting the final flares. It was a wonderful moment and couldn't have happened to a� more deserving guy.

Guy Fieri - Next Food Network Star 2

It always makes me proud that Guy is such a huge star now, cause I feel responsible for it. I was a Guy fan before anybody knew who Guy was. I picked him as soon as I saw his bio on the website and I voted for him every week. He is now doing commercials and is on Food Network 5 times a day thanks to me!! He brings something completely fresh and cool to a channel that really lacks that. If youve never watched Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, you really should cause it's a great show. And Guy's just natural repartee with the people he's interviewing is a wonderful thing to watch. He's a natural for the job. Food Network is more about being a personality now than actually cooking, but luckily for Guy he can do both as his cooking show is pretty decent as well. The pregression on that channel went from Emeril to Rachael Ray and not its slowly turning over� to the Guy channel...and that makes me tres happy. Before long he will have a sitcom/talk show�� book it

TK & Rachel - Amazing Race 12




Look guys they didn't even make the top 10! Don't tar and feather me. I guess i can use this entry as a platform to properly discuss my love for these two. And is it totally shallow? Sure...it probably is. But at heart, I am a hippie...it's the truth. I may be classified as emo, but I know i'm a hippie. And I want to embrace that lifestyle. As much as I love BJ and Tyler, I knew they weren't "true" hippies and were more famewhores than anything. But with TK and Rachel I totally buy the whole thing. They are dirty, peaceful, strung out hippie kids, who as naj would argue are posers...but I would argue are trying their best in this modern day world to stay true to the lifestyle. I love Tk's hair and Rachel is one of the hottest racers ever, all this is a combination that I love. Sure they weren't the most interesting, but I don't thinkthey were boring either. They were just cool clam and collected. And i'd love to hang out with them. The only reason they looked as bad as they did was cause they were up against such colorful teams, if you put them on say season 10, people would have been a lot more pleased with their victory. So I really don't think it's fair the bad wrap that they get. And to conclude this, I really only need to add one thing
