Reality themed Halloween costume ideas?

[sunmoonstars75]

DH & I have been invited to a Halloween party at the end of the month with a Reality Show theme. I love this idea, can't wait to see other costumes, but am stumped as far as our costumes go. Any ideas? They don't necessarily have to go together either, but that would certainly be a big plus.

My sister is going to be Sanjaya (from American Idol) this year. Last year my hubby went as Flavor Flav (Flavor of Love). Two years ago he went as Dog Chapman (you know, the bounty hunter). Both were really fun costumes for him.
If your into a sexy costume the girls next door would be fun and your DH could be Hef. But, I bet a lot of people would do that one. :)

What a fun party. I'm sure you'll get some great ideas. Please post pics after the party!

Bret Michaels from Rock of Love and his love interest, Heather (who didn't win but is super trampy and would make a great costume)

What about someone from Big Brother? Dr. Will and Janelle maybe?

Flavor Flav and New York
Bret Michaels and Jes (she's got fun pink tips in her hair) or as MLA pointed out - Heather. She had some crazy funky 80's thing going on the last show.
Paula Abdul (drunk, of course) and either Randy or Simon.
Christopher Knight and Adrienne Curry
Suzy Preston and Matt Hoover (The Biggest Loser)

What about a Survivor contestant? Khaki shorts, tshirt with bikini top underneath, conspicuously placed bandanna, and some dirt and you're good to go.

Bachelor/Bachelorette. Carry around roses and talk about your journey whenever you're not making out in the hot tub.

You could dress as Padma, and have DH dress up like a chef. Walk around all night saying "Pack your knives and go".

You could both cover yourselves with tattoos and either be one of the artists on Miami Ink/LA Ink - or you could pretend to be one of the peopele getting the tat - in which case go around explaining your tattoos all night long.

My husband went as the Bachelor one year (the theme was people who are going to hell). He owns a tux, so he wore that, and carried roses and champagne.

How about a nude body suit, perhaps with some pillow padding to give you a gut, and one of you could be Richard hatch, the Naked Survivor guy. And the other could wear a tie dyed shirt and a beard and be Rufus.

Lots of fun ideas already! A few more:

~Johnny Fairplay or Rupert from Survivor
~The Duggars--would require a lot of dolls!
~Hildie and Doug from Trading Spaces
~Ty P.
~Tyra Banks and Miss J
~Heidi Klum and a contestant from PR

So many great ideas! I'll have to go over these w/DH and see what he wants to do. My only hurdle is he said he isn't super comfortable dressing up as someone he isn't familiar with, and he isn't quite the reality junkie that I am. Hopefully, we'll come up with something, or else I'll have to come up with something on my own and he can go as himself ;)

I am going as a Harajuku Girl.

[sunmoonstars75]

I ended up going as Supernanny, and DH was supposed to go as Ozzy, but he ended up working too late, so didn't dress up. There were a couple of Bret Michaels at the party (one with Jess, one on his own), Jeff Probst and a Survivor contestant, a Biggest Loser contestant (photoshopped a picture to make his before picture look heavier), a couple of Bachelorettes, and the winners of the contest, Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife, Beth. We had a great time, and I'm looking forward to hearing what next year's theme is going to be :)
