This week, the absolute worst people on reality television were the
ones with the least self-awareness. It's one thing to take your show
seriously, but quite another to play the victim when it's obviously just
for the cameras. You know the following reality stars are bad when they
all beat out Dr. Drew and the ladies of the "Teen Mom 2" reunion --
though something tells us that lovely bunch will make this list next
week. We also considered including Bethenny Frankel for constantly
complaining about how poor she used to be, only to reveal that back in
those days she was renting a $2,600-per-month apartment, but we're still
trying to process that one.
Gayle ("Jerseylicious")
Her showdown with Cathy Giove at the latter's party was absolutely
ridiculous and unnecessary -- it almost reached "Real Housewives of New
Jersey"-level trashy to start a big fight in the middle of a celebratory
shindig while at the same trying to poach her enemies' potential
stylists. Cathy was crazy and everything, too, but in "Jersey Alien vs.
Jersey Predator," the redheaded dinosaur (as Alexa would say) definitely
took the heinous cake the moment she stupidly let Olivia try her hand at
doing hair.
Ben ("The Bachelor")
Idiot Ben had
the perfect opportunity to kick off awful Courtney, but instead she's
now one of the final three contestants vying for his heart. To make
matters worse, he booted sweet and innocent Kacie (see you next summer
on "The Bachelorette"?). Obviously the editing monkeys probably took
some liberties with the storytelling, but it definitely looked like Ben
dumped Kacie because her mom wanted them to wait to move in together
until after they were married.

Phi Phi O'Hara ("RuPaul's Drag Race")
We get that not everyone can possibly love Sharon Needles as much as we
do, but Phi Phi was childish and unreasonably rude to our girl when all
Sharon was trying to do was act like an adult about calling Phi Phi out
for being a lazy team leader in the last competition. Instead of
listening to anything Sharon had to say, Phi Phi flipped out and told
her to go back to Party City. So rude.
Daphne ("The Biggest Loser")
First, we should probably congratulate her on the worst decision-making
after winning a temptation challenge in the show's history. We get that
she was sad that her brother was kicked off, but even Sami was grossed
out watching her down nine plates of peanut butter cups for 1,890
calories. The reason she's on our list, though, is because she foolishly
put her worst enemy on her own team out of nerves, and then poorly
attempted to lie to everyone about how much she actually ate. She's very
lucky she was on Bob's team and that Jillian is long gone.
J-Woww ("Jersey Shore")
They sure do use the term "stalker" lightly on this show, don't they?
Why is it so weird that a girl is giddy about following around a
fame-obsessed celebrity who hangs out in a very public place all the
time? We're not exactly #TeamVanessa or anything, but there was no need
for J-Woww to confront one of Pauly's fans in front of cameras and a
crowd of onlookers. The girl may have been a little bit of a weirdo, but
J-Woww humiliated her all for the sake of a little bit of an ego boost.
Winner:
J-Woww. Seriously, we expect more from you, Jenni. If you're going to
laugh at another lady for following around your friend, maybe you should
first think about, or even acknowledge, the fact that you and
Pauly are world-famous reality stars and that hundreds of people come to
the boardwalk to buy shirts with your catchphrases on them every
single day, and yet you don't think any of them are "psycho" for it.
We're so over the "Jersey Shore" crew pretending that they're still just
everyday, non-famous Seaside partiers. And more importantly, Season 1's
Danielle will always be the Pauly D stalker in our hearts.
