With the production cost being not so expensive, we are seeing reality shows sprouting up like mushrooms every week. It can be fun, alright; but it can also be very cliché, dramatic, and sometimes even cheesy and irritating. From cooking shows to dancing and singing contests, dating games to just about anything, reality TV has something to offer television viewers of all tastes.
But whether you are into or against reality TV, we all know it is there to stay. And while we’re at it, we’ve scoured the internet (and the TV shows) for 50 of the most attractive female reality TV stars around.
Here they are:
1. Kim Kardashian

Long hailed as the queen of reality TV, this model, actress, and business mogul was the first to put the concept of reality TV to the limelight. We all know it, Kim Kardashian is reality TV personified!
In fact, out of all the reality TV stars around, Kim is perhaps one of the few who was able to sustain her level of popularity since she started. Hers exploded to international superstardom since the pilot of their hit show Keeping Up with the Kardashians started airing in 2007.
2. Kendra Wilkinson

After being with other Playboy playmates in a reality TV show The Girls Next Door, this hot babe was finally given her very own show Kendra. And yes, you got it right. The show is all about her life.
After attaining the popularity she deserves through reality shows, this glamour model and former Playboy playmate settled into marriage with a rich athlete for a husband.
3. Heidi Montag

This girl sure can sing but we’re not here to discuss her singing talents. This reality TV star started her career in MTV’s reality show The Hills which aired in 2006. She then went on to become a regular in VH1’s reality TV show Famous Foods.
And just like any other reality TV star, Heidi Montag sure knows how to attract attention to herself with numerous stories leaking about her supposed cosmetic surgeries. Add to that is her constant break up and makeup with husband Spencer Pratt which results in her gaining all that media attention she craves.
4. Kristin Cavallari

From reality TV shows like Laguna Beach and The Hills, Kristin Cavallari was catapulted into the limelight when she started dating American Football icon, Jay Cutler.
While she started her career with reality TV, this sizzling hot lady is currently not engaged in any show but we all know that with a face like hers, she’ll more likely land another role in yet another reality TV show anytime soon.
5. Billie and Sam Faiers

From the UK reality TV show, The Only Way is Essex come, hot sisters, Billie and Sam Faiers. While the sisters were not the big stars of the show, the sisters just seem to be trying to put television screens on fire with many of their physically-stimulating shots. And if there’s one thing we are asking for, it’s that these sisters won’t stop!
6. Audrina Partridge

Another beauty that hailed from The Hills is Audrina Partridge. While this babe is also an actress more than a reality TV star, we can’t deny that her career started with reality TV.
And while she has already starred in films, you can never take reality TV out of Audrina. You guessed it right. She again has another reality TV show about herself which is aptly titled Audrina.
7. Julianne Hough

We all know her from winning Dancing With the Stars twice. This professional ballroom dancer is also a budding actress, landing herself in numerous movie roles that have helped her transform from being a reality TV star to an actress and a singer.
8. Nicole Scherzinger

Now, we can’t just go ahead and talk about reality TV’s discoveries. Reality TV also has a share of the already-famous making their names into the TV genre as well.
Take, for example, Nicole Scherzinger. This Pussycat Doll babe is just so sizzling hot like you’ve never seen before. She sat as a judge on the reality TV show the X Factor.
9. Lucy Watson

We all know she played a bitchy role in Made in Chelsea but behind that façade of the role she played, she is just one beautiful heart, which, unfortunately, is constantly being broken by cheating men and game-playing boys.
10. Jessie J

We all know her from the chart-topping hits she released year after year. And while she is tough as a judge on the Voice UK, everybody knows she’s fair.
Not only that but her sense of fashion is just making waves left and right.
11. Alexandra Felstead

Another babe from the show Made in Chelsea is Alexandra “Binky” Felsted. We all know we sometimes crave for a Binky to pour out all our problems, too. Because with all those great advice to heartbroken pals, who doesn’t want her?
12. Nigella Lawson

There’s just something about the way she licks that food off her finger while staring into the camera.
With all that cooking and eating (and licking), it’s just a wonder how Nigella Lawson can be that hot and sexy TV chef that she is.
13. Kelly Osbourne

One of reality TV’s greatest transformation is Kelly Osbourne. While she started her reality TV career as a chubby teen on MTV’s The Osbournes, Kelly transitioned into chubby and grumpy to a stylish fashion icon accounting for each celebrity’s fashion ups and downs on E!’s TV show Fashion Police.
14. Khloe Kardashian

Yes, we have another Kardashian on the list. We can all but include each Kardashian and Jenner on this list, but that’s getting to be a family reunion if we do that.
Anyway, Khloe is perhaps the Kardashian we can all relate to. She is the Kardashian we would like to have coffee with on a hot Sunday afternoon. Aside from her celebrity status in Keeping Up With the Kardashians, this reality TV star was best known for tweeting about not finding it a compliment when told that she is the hot sister. While she appreciates the compliment, she believes it is not a competition.
15. Christina Aguilera

We all know her from her early years as the artist behind Genie in a Bottle and other hits. This singer and actress is a mentor in the singing competition The Voice US. And while small, this diva is deemed to be harsh while remaining fair in her decisions.

This hot babe here started her stint as a TV presenter for SMTV live and Fame Academy. Upon making it to the US, she started to make waves with her hosting dance competition So You Think You Can Dance where she was nominated for an Outstanding Host at Emmy’s three times in a row.
17. Heidi Klum

Working for many years as a supermodel seems fitting for one to be chosen as the host for the fashion design competition Project Runway. In the competitive fashion industry, Heidi Klum seems to be the perfect person to know how designers need to survive the ruthless fashion industry.
18. Demi Lovato

When Simon Cowell named Demi Lovato as one of the judges for The X Factor US, eyebrows certainly were raised. This is perhaps because of her being one of the youngest to ever grace the show. But experience and talent have everyone change their minds as Demi Lovato seems not just fitting, but fitting beautifully well as a judge in the singing reality show.
19. Cheryl Cole

Cheryl Cole is perhaps the most-loved X Factor judge ever. While we know this TV star as one of the judges on this reality singing show, Cheryl Cole started her career in Popstars: The Rivals.

The daughter of the current President of the United States, Ivanka Trump is not just a pretty face to stare at. Before going into the White House, she was a mainstay on her father’s show Celebrity Apprentice. Easy on the eyes and sizzling to look at, that’s Ivanka.

When controversy at how the contestants were losing weight in The Biggest Loser made noise, Jillian Michaels eventually left, which brought to the TV screens her replacement, Jen Widerstrom.

Almost everyone has wondered how Chris Soules missed those piercing eyes in The Bachelor but when Kaitlyn Bristowe was turned down, almost everyone was at a loss why.

While she was not married to a basketball player, Evelyn Lozada was a main cast at the reality TV show Basketball Wives. Though probably, at the time, the producers were thinking her dating NBA star Antoine Walker was already reason enough.

Lala Kent is a TV star in progress and if work and luck work well for her, she might just be on the next magazine cover you’d find.
Reality TV is here to stay. While the genre has mixed reactions from TV viewers, there is a lot of speculation on how the genre unfolds in the coming decades.
