Jon and Kate Make the Ten Worst Human Beings on Television List

Looks like "America's Most Watched Couple" has made the 10 worst human beings on reality tv list!

Sure, the reality television genre has produced admirable upstanding citizens such as Phil Keoghan, Jeff Probst, Tim Gunn and... some other folks, right? But more importantly, reality TV is also responsible for bringing viewers some of the worst people ever captured on camera -- some of whom we love to hate, and some of whom we'd hate to love. Here's our list of the lowest of the low, the so-called stars that almost make us ashamed to be addicted to reality TV.

Spencer and Heidi ("The Hills")
They can't do a single thing without turning it into an impromptu photo shoot, and whenever their press coverage starts to dwindle they just get faux-married to gross everyone out and make headlines. They are the worst kind of celebrity -- the kind that doesn't care why they're famous, as long as they are.

Coach ("Survivor")
Coach is a delusional, misogynistic jerk, even if his compulsive lying is hilarious to watch at times. Did you know he was kidnapped by Amazonian warriors once? And that they tried to eat his butt? And that he's a dragon slayer? The truly scary thing is he actually appears to believe his tall tales.

Jaime ("The Amazing Race")

She hates it when people do not speak English, so it makes perfect sense that she would want to go on a show that constantly requires her to communicate with people who do not speak English. She's also ridiculously impatient, a yeller, and a huge embarrassment to her lovely teammate Cara.

Tyra Banks ("America's Next Top Model")
No matter who you are, what your story is, how well or poorly you are able to smile with your eyes, it is always, always, always all about Tyra. Each "Top Model" episode is about 10% modeling and 90% Tyra worship. She may have embraced a healthy body image, but she's yet to embrace a little thing we like to call self-awareness.

Dr. Drew ("Celebrity Rehab")
Is there no group of people in pain he won't exploit for television? The answer seems to be no. He has like 19 shows on the air right now, and all of them showcase his self-indulgent need to appear to be a savior to desperate people at their rock bottom. Note to Dr. Drew: those people need real rehab, not a VH1 mansion and a camera crew.

Clint Black ("Celebrity Apprentice")
Clint has turned out to be the unlikely villain of this season. He's smug, he's arrogant, he never takes that damn hat off, and he has only terrible ideas. Why has he lasted this long? And why does The Donald keep reminding us about all the records he's sold? Nobody cares!

Gordon Ramsay ("Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares")
Screaming expletives at people for messing up a Beef Wellington is pretty universally uncalled for. Points for being the most creative name-caller on television, though. Crunchy risotto? You're a "[bleep] donkey!" Overcooked John Dory? Get out of here, you "[bleep] donut!" Ramsay may be hilarious, but he's also a jerk.

Kelly Bensimon ("The Real Housewives of New York City")
From calling Jill's daughter's arthritis "cute," to picking an unnecessary fight with Bethenny, to showing up late to her own Halloween party, to just being the most self-centered, self-involved person on a show about abysmally self-centered, self-involved people, Kelly is a walking nightmare.

Jon and Kate Gosselin ("Jon and Kate Plus 8")
They are literally never not at each other's throats, pettily bickering and insulting each other in front of the kids constantly and barely tolerating one another in their interviews. The kids are funny and adorable, but their parents' relationship is horrific, and one of the most depressing things to watch on television.

Megan ("Rock of Love," "Charm School," the upcoming "Trophy Wife")
She got kicked out of "Charm School" for fighting, then she showed up drunk to the reunion, told Sharon she thinks Ozzy is brain-dead, got a glass of wine poured over her head by the headmistress herself and then turned around and sued Sharon for battery. Over a spilled drink. She's by and far the vilest lady in "Rock of Love" history, which is quite a feat indeed.

Jon and Kate are with good company. They all deserve each other. I wonder if what would happen if they were on that new show "I Am a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" together!

Looks like there are 11 people on the list. I wonder since Jon and Kate only possess half a brain each, they were considered just one. LOL....although that honor could go to Spencer and Heidi, too.

Wow....i wonder if Jon and Kate will finally realize the damage they are doing to their family and their reputation. Its going to take years for people to forget this family! They need to give up and go back and live in obscurity and Jon needs to keep his "car" in his "garage"!
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
