The Real World is donning flannel and boots for its upcoming Portland season, but to gear up for that premiere on March 27, I thought we'd take a look back at the show's cast members who were damn good at wearing not-so-many clothes. Here they are, the 11 hottest male cast members in Real World history. (You'll be happy to know the gays took over the list; I wasn't even forcing it!)

Eric Nies introduced us to Real World hotness on the first season of the show, and he'd continue his hot streak with The Grind, where Queen Latifah once asked him how much he was paid to show off his nipples. The answer? Never enough, Dana.
10. Davis Mallory (Denver)

Denver! That was a caustic cast. Oh, Brooke! You have almost certainly killed someone before. Tyrie! You're diagnosable. And Davis! You are gay and good-looking and...

MTV is doing a blessed thing. With "RetroMTV," the network will be replaying three of the finest seasons of The Real World starting this Friday and continuing throughout Sunday, including the first New York season, the San Francisco season with Pedro Zamora, and the first Las Vegas season with Trishelle Cannatella. I hope that sentence filled you with the adrenaline of a thousand jars of stolen peanut butter, because I'm tweaking over here.
It's all in anticipation for The Real World: Portland, which begins March 27.
This happy occasion proves the opportunity for another: Let's create a Real World supergroup, an ideal cast composed of seven of the best housemates in the show's history. I'm basing my picks on the cast archetypes that are most important to me, but if you come up with your own casts in the comments, feel free to change the categories to your liking.
