Top Five Surprising Reality TV Couples

Posted by Lindy Parker

We were pretty weirded out when Jennifer Hudson got engaged to the guy from I Love New York 2, but then it became like learning a new word -- suddenly there were weird reality TV couples everywhere.  It's kind of blowing our mind, and we're not even counting the shows that are specifically designed for hookup's (The Bachelor, et al) -- do these reality show casts just hang out together and pair off?

A couple of our favorite bizarre reality couplings...

Johnny Fairplay and Michelle Deighton -- This is by far the weirdest pair for us.  Johnny, the loony Survivor cast member who fabricated a dead grandmother story to get ahead in the game, and Michelle, the lady wrestler from America's Next Top Model.  Given the incredible crassness of this video, we can't even fathom what life is like around their house.

Jack Mackenroth and Dale Levitiski -- Yes! We've so been waiting for a Project Runway-Top Chef romance.  Their kids are going to be the best-dressed,most well fed children the world has ever seen.

Jeff Probst and Julie Berry -- Okay, this was kind of inevitable, no? We knew it was just a matter of time before the Survivor host fell for one of the castaways.

 Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich -- We don't care what you say.  Hate on Amber and Rob if you must, but we LOVE them.  Rob's hardcore Boston accent ("Am-bah, you make me feel important and sm-aht."), Amber's elfin beauty -- it all works for us.  Also, her hair looked amazing at their wedding.

Sean Duffy and Rachel Campos --  We can all get behind a Real World wedding right?  And anyway, we always had kind of a soft spot for Sean and his flannel shirts.

Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.

Jake Kalish is a freelance journalist and humorist whose work has appeared in Details, Maxim, Stuff, New York Press, Spin, Blender, Men's Fitness, Poets and Writers, and Playboy, among other publications. He is also the author of Santa vs. Satan: The Official Compendium of Imaginary Fights.
