Top 10 Chicks of Prime Time - Non-Augmented Edition
There’s something to be said for chicks who are naturally hot without having to lift, tuck, and stuff themselves full of plastic. It seems that, lately, a lot of television shows have been throwing the spotlight on women that manage to attract attention without the help of Hollywood’s best doctors. In some cases, they play cute, fun characters. In others they’re badass chicks that wouldn’t think twice before kicking the crap out of you.
Here’s a list of our top 10 most desirable ladies of prime time in order of overall hotness.
Let me first point out that we’re only including chicks that are on network prime time shows that involve scripts and real actors. Otherwise we’d have to make room for every briefcase girl on Deal or No Deal.
Also, girls who have only appeared in chick-targeted teeny-bopper shows have been omitted, with one notable exception (read on to find out who). I don’t care how hot you think Lucy Liu is, Cashmere Mafia should never be found on any dude’s DVR.
On with the show:
Honorable Mention: Ali Larter - Heroes

Personally, we’re not a fan of Ali Larter on Heroes which is why she didn’t make the top 10. Her character is annoying and she doesn’t get to look very hot most of the time. Then she takes photos like this for Maxim, and we remember just how good she can look. That’s why she’s an honorable mention.
10: Rachel Bilson - The OC, Chuck

If Rachel Bilson weren’t in Chuck, she probably wouldn’t have made this list on the grounds that no self-respecting dude should ever be caught watching The OC. I personally think she has kind of a weird face, but she takes a great photo and is in very good shape…so she’s got that going for her.
9: Summer Glau - Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

If you’ve seen the new Terminator show on Fox, you’ve seen what a kick-ass robot Summer Glau is. The costume designers don’t go out of their way to make her look ridiculously hot, but they really don’t need to when she’s beating the crap out of these big muscle-bound Terminators. Plus, she’s nearly indestructible, mysterious, and potentially dangerous…the kind of girl you’d take home to your mother.
8: Olivia Wilde - House

Born Olivia Jane Cockburn (suppress laughter), Olivia Wilde is one of those girls that’s just naturally beautiful. Unfortunately, she’s also married. But hey, it’s Hollywood. It’ll never last. Oh and she gets naked in Alpha Dog…I’m just sayin’…
7: Hayden Panettiere - Heroes

She’s an indestructible cheerleader who was key to saving the world in the first season of Heroes. She was also born in 1989, which makes me feel like a dirty old man. I guess that’s just one of those coming-of-age things we all must go through.
6: Kristen Bell - Heroes

It was difficult to fit Kristen Bell in here. On the one hand, she’s smokin’ hot in a “girl next door” kind of way. On the other hand, she plays an incredibly annoying bitch on Heroes, so much so that I hope they kill her off soon. I guess she’s just a good actress…or she really is an annoying bitch.
5: Sarah Chalke - Scrubs

Sarah Chalke from Scrubs has only gotten better with time. She started out on Roseanne and didn’t really turn any heads. Even in the first two seasons of Scrubs, she wasn’t too crazy hot. Then she chopped her hair and it all changed. The only downside to her character is the fact that she’s really goofy, which can either be really sexy or a huge turn-off.
4: Katrina Bowden - 30 Rock

Katrina Bowden is undeniably hot. She plays Tina Fey’s airheaded receptionist in 30 Rock. And she was born in 1988, which brings up the dirty old man thing again. I’m comfortable with it by now.
3: Yvonne Strahovski - Chuck

As we move higher through the list, less needs to explained. Here’s Yvonne Strahovski. She plays a secret agent. And she’s hot.
2: Katherine Heigl - Grey’s Anatomy

Here’s that exception to the rule I mentioned earlier. She’s Katherine Heigl. That’s why she’s #2 despite being on another chick show.
1: Evangeline Lilly - Lost

There could possibly be other chicks that could fight Evangeline Lilly for this top slot. She deserves it because she can’t hide behind all the make-up like these other chicks can. Being stranded on an island for months means that Kate can’t look all pretty and clean. They’ve got to make her look disheveled and nasty. Even through all that, she still manages to keep every guy in viewing distance completely captivated. She’s got just the right mixture of “sweetheart” and “badass” that makes her any dude’s dream date.
So there you have it. We’ll probably get some flack for some of these placements, but that’s the way we see it. How would you change the list? Did we include anyone that has had any work done? Let us know in the comments.

I’ve had a thing for Katherine Heigl since she was in “my Father the Hero” with Gerard DePardieu (http://www.sho.com/site/itv/itv-assets/87168/87168_01_272w.jpg)there’s a picture. She was young then, 16 I think, but so was I so it’s ok.

I believe her character was 14….which is even more awesome
February 26th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
I agree with #1. I love her freckles. She is so cute and beautiful at the same time.

i can’t believe you think rachel bilson has a weird face! hahaha!
also, i have to say i’m sad you didn’t include jamie pressly (http://www.lahiguera.net/cinemania/actores/jaime_pressly/fotos/726/jaime_pressly.jpg)
…i started trying to make a version for average-chicks and it’s not as easy as it looks!

Thanks Drew. As soon as I started the list I knew she had to be #1.
Katie, I did consider Jamie Pressly. She also has sort of an odd face at times and there are some pictures where I’d swear her boobs are fake. I could be wrong though.

Rachel Bilson kinda looks like a platypus! hahaha!
February 28th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Xtina, how dare you talk about my future wife like that!
February 28th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
She does kind of have a duck-billed look about her.

This is a moronic list. Just put “chicks from Heroes” or “my fantasy chicks that I maturbate to…”. What a fool…

how is hayden right behind kristen bell? are u serious? since the are right next to each other, that means you were literally thinking who is hotter, hayden or kristen, and you chose kristen! that boggles my mind. she looks bratty. get over it. you’re old. no need to take it out on one of the hottest chicks on the planet. she should at least be top 3 or 2.
November 23rd, 2008 at 10:44 am
Jeepers. Someone’s taking things a little personally. Hayden is incredibly attractive, which is why she’s on the list. She’s also a little stocky, which is why she’s not at the top of the list. I really wouldn’t say I “took it out” on her. I’m not even sure what “it” is. But thanks for your opinion.
Oh and how old do you think I am?
