Season 5 of the Surreal Life is wack. Omarosa, Janice Dickinson, Pepa, Balki, Pink's fianc', some model, and Jose Canseco round out this group of narcissistic hooligans. We heard that VH1 was having a tough time casting the infamous show. You know it's a problem when former New Kid on the Block Joey McIntyre won't do the Surreal Life because he insists that he still has a career (will Dancing With The Stars count as a credit on the back of his headshot?) If VH1 can't even round up a lame boy-bander like Joey we suggest the following candidates for next season's cast. When you click through you will see by their current roster of (in)activities, our picks are prime candidates for the house of has-beens.
