Friday Eye Candy: The Men Of Reality TV
While I'll admit freely I'm not a huge fan of reality tv, even I can appreciate the hotness that is about to follow. And all the hotness out there I still have missed when it comes to reality tv. Here's just a smattering to whet your appetite. I managed to get some help from Slackermama here, so be sure to send her love and affection for her picks!
Um, yum. I knew Anderson Cooper was on CNN, but I had no idea that he also once hosted The Mole. Yowsa!
Phil Keoghan from Amazing Race
Simon Cowell from American Idol
Ty Pennington from Extreme Makeover Home Edition
Apolo Anton Ohno from Dancing with the Stars
Maksim from Dancing with the Stars
A ponderous Mamapop Mascot wonders if he's lost his spot in our hearts because of all the hotness up here?!
(ps ~ if you've got an idea for a FEC, complete with a list of hotties, feel free to shoot me the idea. i'll most likely use it, and be sure to give you tons of credit in the process!)

OMG! Where's Bear Grilles?!

Niiiice. There are a couple who I probably wouldn't have included, but that's what diversity is all about. SOMEone will like them!
Anderson and Phil are my yummy faves from this group. Maybe I have a thing for blue eyes?

I hate to impugn anyone else's suggestions, but Bear's Man vs. Wild is NOT a reality show. It is instructional - completely scripted and rehearsed, with Bear & Camera Crew going at night to comfy hotels between days of filming. Les Stroud, Survivorman, is the reality star for this genre...

I loved "The Mole." It was such a good show, and so intriguing. Good list, but I do like Bear Grilles. My boyfriend has a man-crush on him.

I with Stephanie. Anderson was so cute in the Mole and it was such a great show. I totally wish they'd bring it back because I would be on it in a heartbeat.

Nigel from America's Next Top Model...now there's some hotness for ya ;)

Eric Stromer from "Clean Sweep" on TLC isn't too hard on the eyes, either. Does that count as a reality show?

Okay, even I surprise myself with this one, but has anyone been watching Celebrity Rehab, with Dr. Drew Pinsky? This week, he shows up to intervene, late-night, in jeans and a fitted t-shirt. YUM! Yes, Dr. Drew has now joined Anderson Cooper in the "silver-haired fox" category. The man has muscles! We're talking big guns. Who would have thought!?!

Hot damn, but Anderson Cooper is FINE.
Oh, and The Mole *is* coming back! Not with Anderson, unfortunately, but it's coming back (praise be to the reality gods).

Anderson Cooper - yummy! I never watched The Mole and now I am kicking myself big time. Is it being repeated at all????
Bob Harper says some pretty funny and sometimes snarky things on Biggest Loser which makes him all the more yummy to me.
I'd like to add the host of Dirty Jobs...my early onset dementia is not alowing me to remember his name..is it Mike??
Posted by: Trish | January 25, 2008 at 02:19 PM
Diana, you read my mind!!!! I actually think Drew is hotter than Anderson because 1. no ambiguous sexuality and 2. he can be tough, which I never realized before watching him on this show. SO crushing on him.

Oh man, how could I forget Mike Rowe?
Rowr.

I think Carter Oosterhouse, formerly of Trading Spaces and now on DIY's The Inside Job, is a cutie.
Posted by: Nancy R | January 25, 2008 at 03:07 PM
Mike Rowe.. HOT.
Posted by: Lauren | January 25, 2008 at 03:20 PM
I love Anthony Bourdain from No Reservations. Yum.

I totally agree about Dr. Drew! I saw him in the tee and was like yowser! he was looking good!
Posted by: LauraJT77 | January 25, 2008 at 05:36 PM
Ooooh. Anthony Bourdain! Love him.

Have you done a FEC with villains yet?
Posted by: Robbi | January 25, 2008 at 07:53 PM
I'm a fan of a man who can bake, so Duff Goldman from Ace of Cakes would make my list and Clinton Kelly from What Not to Wear.
sigh
Posted by: jodessa | January 25, 2008 at 11:21 PM
Wow! I totally love Maxsim from DWTS. He is delish! To have him and Bob Harper in the same place is devine.
And I strangely agree about Dr. Drew's fitted black shirt and his guns! Where did those come from??
But - I also have love for CT from the MTV challenge world. He's pretty.

Anderson Cooper...rowr! And that picture of Ty--has anyone else ever wanted more to be a power tool in their lives than I do right now??
Posted by: Jody | January 26, 2008 at 09:07 PM
Yep, you could do an all-Mike-Rowe edition and I'd be happy! or an all-hot-carpenter from all the makeover shows, or hot chefs...
Gee, I guess reality tv isn't as bad as I thought!
