From EW.com

10.The Naked Truth -Fear Factor
NBC, April 15

BIG MOMENT In a show known for gross-out food dares and death-defying stunts, one of the season's most memorable challenges required very little of its contestants. All they had to do was spend three minutes naked while a crowd cheered and took photographs. The nervous contestants did cartwheels down the runway, showed off their tattoos, and made bad jokes.

WHAT WE'LL REMEMBER Mike's gem about his package: ''It's a grower not a show-er.'' (Um, OK, buddy, we'll just take your word on that.)

9. Kings of Kong
The Amazing Race
CBS, April 24

BIG MOMENT When the teams got orders to proceed to Sydney, everyone made a frantic dash for the airport. Everyone, that is, except for best friends Danny and Oswald, better known as Team Cha-Cha-Cha. The luxe-living pair visited an upscale travel agent and spent an hour strolling through a ritzy Hong Kong shopping district. Who cares if another player referred to them as ''smug bastards''? They still made it to Sydney first and won that leg of the race.

WHAT WE'LL REMEMBER Danny and Oswald sipping Frappuccinos and buying cologne while the other teams bickered in the airport.

8. Tempting Fate
Temptation Island
Fox, Feb. 14

BIG MOMENT What better way to spend Valentine's Day than watching someone get dumped on TV? After Mark gave his sappy ''I want to stay together even though I swapped gallons of saliva with Debbie'' speech, his girlfriend Kelley dropped the bomb: She was breaking up with HIM. Her reason: Her own date had ''treated [her] like a lady.'' Finally! Those trashy tempters convinced someone to stray.

WHAT WE'LL REMEMBER Jilted Mark tossing a tissue at Kelley and silently walking off.

7. Urine Trouble
Real World
MTV, April 23

BIG MOMENT The usual spats about homophobia and lazy roommates took a backseat to Tonya's problems with kidney stones. First, the melodramatic Chicago housemate peed out a gruesome blood clot. Then, before heading off to the hospital with her bloody blob saved in a cup, she gave her roommates -- and the cameras -- a peek.

WHAT WE'LL REMEMBER The MTV cameraman swooping in for a close-up, putting to rest any accusations that she was faking.

6. Firing Line
Project Greenlight
HBO, Jan. 13

BIG MOMENT Carrot-topped coproducer Jeff Balis just couldn't seem to get along with line producer Pat Peach... maybe because power-hungry Peach spent the whole shoot trying to stab him in the back. Foulmouthed exec Chris Moore decided the solution was to yank Balis off the film. Sure, he was hired back the next day -- but that hardly sooths the sting of getting the ax on national TV.

WHAT WE'LL REMEMBER Balis innocently picking up his cell phone and hearing Moore's jarringly abrupt dismissal notice: ''I want you to come back to L.A.''

5. Helping Hand
Survivor
CBS, March 13

BIG MOMENT Ever wondered what to do if you're stung by a sea urchin? According to registered nurse John, peeing on the wound helps with the swelling and pain. In fact, he asked fellow castaway Kathy to do just that when he lodged about a dozen needles in his hand while snorkeling.

WHAT WE'LL REMEMBER John running out of the water, cringing in pain and shouting, ''I need someone who can pee on my hand!''

4. Knocking A Round
Celebrity Boxing
Fox, March 13

BIG MOMENT After Barry Williams and Vanilla Ice (a.k.a. Robert van Winkle) were humiliated by Danny Bonaduce and Todd Bridges, respectively, it was time for the women to step into the ring. Bad girl ice skater Tonya ''TNT'' Harding spent the whole bout pummeling Paula ''The Pounder'' Jones (even knocking her to the ground once!) while the Clinton scandal survivor skittered in the opposite direction. Jones, a last minute Amy Fisher stand-in, held her gloves by her face, showing more desire to protect her nose job than to throw a decent punch!

WHAT WE'LL REMEMBER Harding taking one last swipe at the back of Jones' head while Jones begged to end the match.

3. How Sweet It Is
The Bachelor
ABC, April 22

BIG MOMENT During his overnight date in New York City with Amanda, the drippy bachelor Alex Michel dialed up room service for ''Sex in the Sheets'' -- hot fudge, caramel, ice cream, a Polaroid camera, and a plastic sheet. Gee -- maybe an entire afternoon of quizzing her about her boob job wasn't romantic enough!

WHAT WE'LL REMEMBER The voyeuristic black-and-white footage of Alex and Amanda in bed and the Polaroid of Amanda covered in chocolate.

2. Sob Story
Survivor
CBS, April 18

BIG MOMENT Just when the John-spearheaded alliance seemed ready to systematically pick off the weaker players, the power structure in Marquesas was turned upside down. After the members of the alliance demonstrated their arrogance in an immunity challenge, the other players united to kick John off. Has there ever been a more gratifying ''Survivor'' moment than watching cocky John cry during his exit speech?
WHAT WE'LL REMEMBER John, whimpering to his mom through tears, ''I did really well, and I'm very proud of myself.''

1. Perfect Pitch
The Osbournes
MTV, March 26

BIG MOMENT The racket made by their bratty next-door neighbors had the first family of Goth longing for their old nabe, crooner Pat Boone. When the revelers refused to cut out their late-night renditions of ''He's Got the Whole World in His Hands,'' the Osbournes took matters into their own hands. First, they blasted Norwegian death metal; when that didn't work, it was time to start throwing food.

WHAT WE'LL REMEMBER Mad-as-hell matriarch Sharon Osbourne sending a whole ham flying over the shrubs.
