Vecepia Towery, ... There are plenty of 'under-the-radar' style players lurking undeservedly in the 'Survivor' history books...and Vecepia is at the top of the list. (Photo: CBS)
Jeffrey Sebelia,... Whether he was the victim of bad editing or he was just bad, 'Project Runway's' Jeffrey Sebelia emerged as both the villain and the winner of Season 3. (Photo: Bravo)
Ilan Hall, 'Top ... Most fans were spitting mad when Ilan Hall stole the 'Top Chef' title from the more deserving and more likable Sam Talbot in Season 2. (Photo: Bravo)
Mike 'Boogie' Ma... Obnoxious 'Big Brother' Season 2 contestant Mike 'Boogie' Malin actually pulled off the win for 'Big Brother: All-Stars' by being the lesser of two evils. But still evil. (Photo: CBS)
'The Apprentice' Pretty much every winner outside of Season 1's Bill Rancic could be considered the worst, since, well, can anybody name any of the other seven 'Apprentice' winners? (Photo: NBC)
J.D. Fortune, 'R... The guy chosen to be the new lead singer of INXS--via a 2005 reality show--hasn't been too fortunate. J.D. Fortune recently revealed he's been fired from the band and is homeless, living out of his car. (Photo by Cameron Spencer/Getty Images)

Saleisha Stowers... Perhaps one of Tyra's most controversial picks was Saleisha, who was generally unliked by fans. And in fashion, there's nothing worse than 'plain' and 'boring.'(AP Photo/Marion Curtis, Seventeen Magazine)
Shayne Lamas, 'T... Matt Grant should have known what he was in for when he learned Shayne was an 'actress' and the daughter of Lorenzo Lamas. But he picked the hottest chick in his 'Bachelor' bunch...and she allegedly cheated on him within one month of the show's finale. (Photo: ABC)
Amber Lake, 'Roc... The competition to steal rocker Bret Michaels' heart was as guilty as a guilty pleasure can get, so--as far as these things go--it was a 'surprise' when he chose blonde and busty Amber Lake over blonde and busty Daisy De la Hoya at the end of Season 2. Not a surprise: They lasted just 'a few months.' (Photo: VH1)
Tila Tequila Anyone who took a 'Shot at Love' with Tila Tequila isn't much of a winner. That show just leaves you feeling icky. (Photo by Valerie Macon/Getty Images)
Jesse Csincsak, ... It's not that there was anything wrong Jesse Csincsak, per se. It's just that everyone knew DeAnna Pappas made a mistake when she didn't pick Jason Melnick, who's now happily engaged (for now at least) to one of the ladies from his own search for love on the latest edition of 'The Bachelor.'
