One of my best friends from hs was made over on the Sally Jessy Raphael show, I think so he could meet his then-boyfriend's mother.
I'm friends now with a couple who were on House Hunters.
And, not reality TV, but Eddie Vedder lives in my neighborhood, and has kids, and apparently is pretty much a fixture at kid stuff here. Like, last week I was talking with somebody who said he was "pitching" at her kid's tee-ball game the previous week. He was also, apparently, instrumental in fixing my H's new guy-BFF-ty friend up with his wife. So, I think it's just a matter of time before he's giving me uke lessons.
A girl in another sorority in college was on that MTV dating show where the person visited the prospective suitors' rooms.
DH's college friend was on House Hunters.
I was on Dateline in college - I was not the one featured but had a five second cameo in one scene while I walked the girl they were featuring down the hall.

I went to school with the girl that won that Grease competition show where she starred in the Broadway show. I did some backstage work in some plays she was in. I also went to school with a girl that was on some fighting competition show that was on MTV2 or something, and is apparently a model.
Not reality but one of my old neighbors is a 3 time Olympic hockey player. Oh, and a former presidential candidate (possible VP?) lives somewhat close to my parents.. my mom ran into him at Walgreens once and said he was really nice.
My first love was on Win Ben Stein's Money. One of my sister's best friends from high school was on Real World: London. The son of my boss was on My First Place. My MIL's best friend's kid was on American Idol. One of the kids I grew up with was on America's Most Wanted (spoiled rich kids edition- oh, wait, they didn't call it that).

One of my friends from college is a frequent commentator on VH1 and MTV shows like "I Love the 80s." I'll be flipping channels and run across her talking about Ferris Bueller. One of my friends from college was the Bachelor many seasons ago. An old sorority sister was on Survivor. A friend was on HGTV Design Star a couple years ago. A friend who is a realtor was on an episode of House Hunters. My co-worker won the Jeopardy Teen Tournament in the early 1990s. One of my BFFs is a news anchor and is therefore on TV all the time, but I am not sure that the news counts as reality TV.
My friend (ok, it's really DH's friend) is friends with the dude who plays Drago in Game of Thrones. He was on one of the Stargates before that, and he played Conan the Barbarian in the recent movie. He's married to Lisa Bonet and my friend has hung out with them a bunch.
Jason Momoa? I have such a tv crush on him.
The Bachelorette before Emily - Ashley Hebert (?) - was my coworker's high school girlfriend. That's about all I've got!
H's cousin was on a wedding show H's uncle was on Jon and Kate My classmate was on House Hunters A friend won Real World/Road Rules Challenge My step dad was on a dating show in the 60s A college friend's best friend from home was on Beauty and Geek, lol.
My brother's ex-GF's uncle was on cops. As in he was one of the drunk rednecks getting arrested. He's actually in the opening sequence. My uncles ex-BF was the on-air fashion show producer guy on "the Fashion Show" I never got a chance to watch it. Same uncle was on the fake Joan Rivers documentary from a million years ago where they pretended she was dead. He was also on Oprah once.
Not TV: MH dated a girl in high school who was a playboy co-ed of the month in college.
I think that's all I've got.
ETA: I forgot one! My mom runs into the grapes from the fruit of the loom commercials in the gay bars in philly all the time.
oh, one more - A guy in the dorm next to mine was on jeopardy freshman year. And I guess technically I went to school with Watson too. (the supercomputer that beat Ken Jennings)
My wedding makeup artist was the first kicked off on a season of The Bachelor (if you watch, upon meeting Jake the pilot, told him he could "land on her landing strip anytime")
I've had several friends on Jeopardy, including one who won the Tournament of Champions.
Very long ago, but I happened to stumble on the Dating Game one day and saw a college classmate as a contestant. He was telling the host how annoying he found it when people don't hang toilet paper the "right" way. Yeah, I already knew he was weird.

A HS classmate made it to the finals of college jeopardy a few years ago A college classmate was on America's next top model (and she cheated on her gf on the show who is now a classmate of my SO). A good friend of mine was on NBC's Clash of the Choirs (he was on Michael Bolton's choir. I'm laughing at myself that I remember that.)
I have a second cousin in LA who did the reality show thing for awhile, even making it on to Big Brother, among other weird early aught reality TV shows.
His daughter also did the reality show thing, ending up on a weight loss show.
Co worker was on Jeopardy. (kicked ass first day, tanked the second)
High school acquaintance on AI (didn't get too far).
My friend (ok, it's really DH's friend) is friends with the dude who plays Drago in Game of Thrones. He was on one of the Stargates before that, and he played Conan the Barbarian in the recent movie. He's married to Lisa Bonet and my friend has hung out with them a bunch.
Jason Momoa!? I thought he was hot since he was on that movie The Johnson Family Vacation in 2004. *drool* Now I HAVE to watch Game of Thrones (after I finish the series).
Not reality TV at all, but my cousin was the sixth credited character in Rise of the Taj and was almost the character in a Berries n' Cream Skittles commercial here in the US(he's done plenty of commercials in the UK).
Oooh, DH was friends with someone who was on that Gilligan's Island reality TV show!
And my cousin's band(Blacklight Pioneer) is going to be on a super popular late night/exclusive show in England soon. .. Darn, can't remember the name!
A former coworker was on American Idol Season 2 (Ruben Studdard won, Clay Aiken came in second). He made it to top 4. *Hint* he was a Marine at the time. I worked with him in the Marine Corps.
A friend was on one of those home reno shows on TLC. They did her backyard but the plants the show chose didn't last long because of the climate I guess. They just chose them because they were pretty.
Same friend is also a relative of Star Search host Ed McMahon. I went to his house before he passed and met him. It was the house he lived in that had all the foreclosure drama. Lived next to Brittney Spears and all that. He opened the door for me. I have been to his widow's house once or twice since.
