5 Reality TV Show Guys that Were Easy on the Eyes in 2010

As 2010 Comes to a Close, It's Time to Review the Year's Resident Reality Hunks

Victoria Leigh Miller
In 2010 there was no shortage of reality TV programming- and there was also an abundance of handsome hunks who often stole the show. From an "American Idol" warbler to a Nicaraguan jungle "Survivor," here are 5 reality TV guys that were great candy for the eyes.

Casey James- "American Idol" Season 9. The "American Idol" Season 9 finalist was instructed to take his shirt off during his audition and later had Kara DioGuardi blushing like a school girl when he performed the Bryan Adams song "Heaven" (Kara's professional judging critique: she called him "eye candy"). Still, third place runner up Casey James managed to take the comments about his good looks in stride, even when fellow "Idol"-wannabes nicknamed him "Goldilocks."

Rick Fox- "Dancing With the Stars." He tripped the light fantastic with partner Cheryl Burke on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," but with stiff competition (er, like Bristol Palin?) the former basketball pro didn't quite make it into the finals. Still, the ridiculously dashing Rick Fox kept his game show host smile on for the entire competition.

Jesse Beck- "The Bachelorette Season 6"/ Bachelor Pad. He tried to win "Bachelorette" Ali Fedotowsky's heart, but they didn't make a love connection. Still, hunky Jesse Beck later moved into ABC's "Bachelor Pad" where he had another shot at love- and money. He didn't win there either, and actually managed to lose us a bit when he made a vodka-champagne cocktail and goofily stuck his fingers up date Peyton Wright's nose. Still, we'll forgive him because he looks so good.

Rib Hillis- "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition". Yeah, I know he used to be an actor on the soap "Port Charles" and a model before that. But Rib Hillis has made an inspiring addition to "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition". This hottie handyman joined the cast back in 2007 and we still can't get enough of him. He can wield a hammer like no other!

Jud 'Fabio' BIrza- "Survivor: Nicaragua". The "Survivor: Nicaragua" winner cleaned up well for the season finale- not that he needed to. Jud Birzo, nicknamed "Fabio" on the show due to his long-locked good looks, may have played the ditzy blonde as part of his strategy, but that turned out to be the smartest strategy in the game. The hunky 21 year old won the whole "Survivor" shebang and took home a one million dollar payday just days before Christmas.

    Casey was definitely my favorite and not just for his looks. He's very talented and a very special person. Can't wait to hear his new music!

    Casey James had me from the first...his covers of "Heaven", "You'll Think Of Me", "Mrs. Robinson", and "Don't" were all better then the originals in my opinion. He is a tremendous
    talent! Rick Fox was my 2nd fav. and Jesse Beck my 3rd. I don't know the other two, so I can't issue a comment on either of them. :)

    I agree that all of these guys stole their shows from their co-stars...no doubt about it! Casey James was my favorite though, he has it all...the hottie factor, unbelievable humbleness and the voice and talent of an angel...LOVE HIM!!!
