Pamela Anderson not a fan of Kate Gosselin, and more

(NEWSER) - Everyone apparently hates Kate Gosselin, and that includes fellow Dancing With the Stars competitor Pamela Anderson. In their honor, the Frisky lists the 10 best reality show rivalries:

• Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie: The rivalry that all others aspire to. After starting The Simple Life as besties, they had a tiff during Season 4 and had to film the rest of the season separately. Awkward!
• Ali Fedotowsky and Vienna Girardi: Not only did they both vie for Jake Pavelka on The Bachelor, they just plain fought with each other, too. Vienna got Jake—but Ali got her own season of The Bachelorette.
