The Worst Sidekicks on TV Today

Last week, we listed the supporting characters we love. Now here's the flipside: These are the current (no cancelled and/or already fired people!) scripted and reality characters who are a detriment to their shows, and oh, how we hate them for it.

Thirteen ("House")
Yes, we are beating a dead horse here, but this list would look weird without the most hated screenhog in "House" history on it. There, it's said. She needs to go.



Randy Jackson ("American Idol")
He adds nothing to the show, says the same four things over and over, and if you're going to be a not-Simon on this show, please at least be entertainingly incoherent like Paula.



Samantha ("Dancing With the Stars")
She can't read cue cards, which is bad enough, but when she's off-book she's even worse, asking some of the dumbest questions we've ever heard uttered on reality television. And this week she called someone a "poopyhead." Poopyhead!



Kim Bauer ("24")
You really can't tell me she had to come back in order for Jack to be saved. There are a million different ways the writers could have gone to cure Jack's exposure to a made-up biotoxin. And when they know how much the fans vehemently hate Kim, her return was beyond superfluous.



Mohinder ("Heroes")
Admittedly, there are a lot of people on "Heroes" who need killin', as most of them have become annoying parodies of their formerly compelling selves, but for us, Mohinder is the worst (yes, even more than Sylar). He's whiny, he's stupid, he's self-righteous for no valid reason, but most of all, he's boring.



Rufus ("Gossip Girl")
It was a toss-up between Vanessa and Rufus here, but at least Vanessa does things. Rufus, on the other hand, makes us feel like we just downed a bottle of Ambien when we're watching his scenes. Is there anyone who doesn't fast-forward through his scenes?



Charlotte ("Private Practice")
Raise your hand if you don't care about her intimacy issues! Or her superior coffee! Or anything about her!



Almost Everybody ("Grey's Anatomy")
Hard to nail down just one from this show because it's really an ensemble and most of the characters are annoying. So to make it easier, aside from Cristina, Callie, Sloan, Bailey and sometimes Alex, everyone else could up and quit, and we'd help them pack.



Lois ("Smallville")
Another dumb character, we hate Lois mostly for stealing Chloe's rightful journalistic and screen-time thunder. She may be nice to look at, boys, but a believable crack reporter Lois is so not.



Rebecca ("Brothers & Sisters")
Her relationship with Justin was chemistry-free and full of tedious fights, her inevitable hook-up with Ryan is unnecessary and clearly just a lazy reason to keep her on the show after her breakup with Justin, and her role as a marketing genius at Ojai is laughable.
