Louie77 starting a new list encouraged me to finish this off (also bc I have an epic idea to start once this is over)

25. Shanna Moakler - Crowned


Who better to host a show about busted beauty-queens than one of the only three pageant girls I could name?

Despite getting overshadowed by Carson Kressley at every panel, she managed to know what she was talking about it without being completely dull. Though she would have sky-rocketed up the list if the show had shown her beating up Paris Hilton <3

24. New York - I Love New York


More than any of the other Love hosts, New York had a great talent for keeping around great contestants for a very long time - would Daisy (or Megan) give us more than one episode of Midget Mac?

But I think her actually entertainment value as a host is pretty overrated - I haven't watched any of the 'Flavor Of' shows, but on ILNY she has a habit of being very earnest and creepily fawning (NY's sex noises </3)

And I deducted metaphorical points for all the terrible 'New York Does Something With Limited With Entertainment Value' shows that VH1 keeps making instead of producing 'I Love It' or 'Mr Boston's Tea Party'.

23. Clive Pearse - HGTV's Design Star


Doesn't he look jovial?

He is like everyone's favourite uncle - he is very likeable but since he is obsessed with interior decorating, he is also very boring. Too avuncular to hate, he is obviously good at his job and not an abused manchild like Todd Oldham.

22. Julie Chen - Big Brother US

The Chenbot is a contradiction. She looks highly professional, but frequently fails to moderate the sort of basic question and answer sessions a high-school debate amateur could handle. She has a decent sense of humour about her robotic lack of charisma, but does nothing to try to improve it. She isn't ridiculously biased in favour of particular houseguests; but possibly because she has no idea what is actually going on in the house until someone hands her a cuecard 25 minutes before the live show.

But I will never forgive her for getting Neil kicked out for making racist jokes about her, forcing one of my all-time least favo BB female back into the game. If you are going kick people out for hating Azns, you should have kicked out Erika (preferably in Week 1 of All-Stars, replacing her with Lisa, who would go on to win the game wearing a peanut butter bikini <3)

21. Ahmad Rashad - Celebrity Mole


He made lots of jokes about how much he liked golf, which reminded me of Bob Hope. He is supposedly famous for many other things, which may explain why people found him such a horrible hosting choice. He didn't get the Mole mystique, but he made jokes about golf, which is more than most of these people.

20. Sharon Osborne - Rock Of Love: Charm School


Nowhere on Sucks have I seen the "she's sooo jealous!" argument than in reference to this season, and namely Osborne booting Megan early on. This hypothesis suggests that mega-wealthy, famous and semi-respected Sharon Osborne is jealous of a z-lister for being young. Many accuse her of being biased against the proto-Blondetourage (which is silly bc Brandi C was obviously a shoo-in to win until the spitting incident) and blame her for wrecking the season's entertainment value (which is also silly because she kept Lacey).

Despite being a harpy witch on many other shows, she was a voice of reason here, though maybe she just seems better in comparison to Rikki Ratface.
19. Gordon Ramsay - Hell's Kitchen


I think he probably sucks as a person (what with his notorious affairs and generally smug demeanour) and he's horrible over-exposed, especially in his home country. Marco Pierre-White, who I forgot to include on this list, is pretty much the same - however, Ramsay is also aggressive enough to frequently create awesome TV (vs. Marco's "here's a lecture about how I invented the kitchen" speeches to camera on The Chopping Block)

While everyone seems to love Ramsay's insults, they're usually incredibly weak (calling a guy with glasses "four-eyes"? Really?). Instead of cunty Ramsay, I like exasperated Ramsay. This is the Ramsay who is seriously horrified by the idiocy of all the contestants - for example, in the HK6 premiere when his voice raised two octaves in order to complain about how much pasta was being thrown in the bin ("How much is in the bin?!!? Look!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOK! What the fuuuuuuuck is thiis?!").

NB: If he hospitalises Joseph next episode after their confrontation, he will move up five paces in this ranking.

18. Jonny Moseley - RR/RW: Challenge: Battle Of The Sexes I & II


There are plenty of Challenge veterans who only go on the show to have a good time, more concerned with drinking, smoking and getting laid than with any of the actually challenges. There are very few hosts who have that attitude, but Jonny Moseley is one of them. One of the only reality show hosts to have his name featured in the title of an awful video game (unless you count Gordon Ramsay', his laidback stoner attitude and total apathy made him by far the most enjoyable of the MTV hosts, as well as the only one to talk in complete sentences.

17. Padma Lakshmi - Top Chef


Oy, this show and gold-diggers. Like Katie Lee Joel, Padma is only famous for marrying a creepy old man. But Katie Lee Joel never did photoshoots like the above, nor did she create any sexual tension with balding tosspot Tom Colicchio.

16. Adrianna Costa - On The Lot


The disastrous 'On The Lot' was originally hosted by Chelsea Handler, who dropped out early after noticing that it was a steaming pile of feces. In her place came Adrianna Costa, a Jewish woman who seemed intent on appearing as Latina as possible.

Because the programme's content was so dreadful, Adrianna Costa's lack of basic competence and awkwardly displayed cleavage became more of a reason to watch than any of the films (which were mostly advert-quality, but twice as long and without any purpose).

Garry Marshall, the only judge who effectively managed to hide his disdain for the show, had a perpetual Viagra-induced lust for the hostess, and her flirtations with him and the contestants were delightful. If I was in charge, I would make her host of all of NBC's misguided reality shows - 'The Greatest American Road Trip' would be much better with her in place of the Downs Syndrome Andy Richter they've got doing it now.
