Top 5 Netflix reality stars of all time

Reality TV junkies, the Netflix universe has delivered. Since their reality TV debut with The Circle in 2020, the network has continued to bless reality TV fans with quality, mindless shows like Love is Blind, Perfect Match, The Ultimatum and Too Hot to Handle. Love them or hate them, here are five Netflix stars that left a lasting impression in no particular order.

Joey Sasso, The Circle and The GOAT

There's nothing like the first season of a new reality show. The cast isn't necessarily in it for the fame, and you get the most wholesome, genuine personalities there with the best of intentions. The poster boy (he's a man, ok, but that's not a phrase) for the wholesome star of the show is without a doubt, New York native Joey Sasso.

Joey is 100% who he appears to be on TV. A kind, smooth talking goofball who is there for a good time and hopefully a long time. There's a reason Joey won the premiere season of The Circle. He played himself through and through and his castmates loved him as much as the audience. The Circle may be a social game, but Joey only played with his heart, which easily clinched him the win.

That same attitude and heart got him cast on the new Amazon Prime show The GOAT, but unfortunately he was voted out almost as soon as he got to GOAT manor.

Since then, Joey has gone on to support his Circle family and debut his first feature length film, Young Lion of the West. He directed and starred in the movie, which hopefully means we haven't seen the last of Sasso on our screens.

Chloe Veitch, Too Hot to Handle

Chloe Veitch does not sleep when it comes to reality TV appearances. We first met her as the winner of Too Hot to Handle, and she continued on to appear on The Circle and Perfect Match. She even won the fan favorite vote on The Circle. Chloe's reality TV career doesn't stop with Netflix though. She has also appeared on Celebrity Ex on the Beach, Celebrity Ghost Trip, and Celebrity Hunted.

Chloe continues to partner with Netflix, hosting interview segments with cast from shows like Outer Banks and Heartstopper from the top of a roller coaster. Gotta love a well-rounded queen. She has also become a top influencer, partnering with brands like Pretty Little Thing and Wander. If you miss her on your screens, not to worry. Chloe also is featured in the Netflix mobile game The Ultimatum: Choices.

Love is Blind's Lauren Speed-Hamilton

There are a lot of memorable reality stars, but few find true love on TV. One of the most genuine relationships to come from a reality show has to be Lauren Speed (now Speed-Hamilton) and Cameron Hamilton. The two met through a pod wall, and are still going strong since the Love is Blind series premiere in 2020.

There have been many memorable cast members throughout the years, but Lauren continues to be the OG. She may want to distance herself from the show, but there's a reason fans continue to vote for her as a favorite and want her and Cameron to replace Nick and Vanessa (there's even a petition with 48,000+ signatures and counting). Lauren and her husband Cameron won cutest couple at the Netflix reality universe fan awards as well.

Since her pod squad days, Lauren has been booked and busy. She and Cameron host a podcast, The Love Seat, she hosted another dating reality show briefly, Match Me If You Can, and appeared on The GOAT alongside fellow Netflix alum Joey Sasso. Lauren has also graced the cover of dozens of magazines and you can catch her at many Hollywood premieres.

Love is Blind's Jessica Vestal

The best, non-deadly reason to need an EpiPen has been crushing it since appearing on season 6 of Love is Blind. Jess is best known for her iconic speech to Jimmy Presnell during their break up. In case you need a refresher, "When you see and realize what you missed out on, you are going to choke. You are going to need your EpiPen. to open up your airways..." etc, etc, which landed her a most quotable award.

Since having her heart broken on international television, Jess has moved up and on. She appeared on season 3 of Perfect Match, and despite an awful situationship with he-who-is-not-worthy-and-shall-not-be-named (it was Harry Jowsey, guys), she has kept her dating life private.

Jess is absolutely crushing it. She won the style icon award at the Netflix reality universe awards, and just celebrated her 30th birthday party. Jess has also become a successful influencer with over 1.4 million Instagram followers, and over 750,000 on TikTok. She also frequently partners with her daughter Autumn to promote content and amazing causes such as Comfort Cases, to provide suitcases to children in the foster care system.

The Circle's Brandon Baker

It was hard to narrow the field to five, but it wasn't hard to give our favorite Circle catfish a spot on that list. Brandon is one of the most memorable players to ever grace our screens, and was so deserving of his season 6 win.

Despite being on the most strategic season of The Circle ever, Brandon's genuine personality shined through, even when catfishing as Olivia, his real life bff Claudia Caminiti. He made such an impact, he went on to present at the 11th annual reality TV awards in 2024 and we're hoping for a spinoff with Circle bestie Cassie Saylor in the future. He continues to make a positive impact on the world as an ICU nurse.

Brandon's kindness doesn't stop there. He continues to take time out to interact with fans on social and in real life, always happy to chat and reply to DMs. You can also find Brandon giving hilarious food reviews on his Insta and TikTok.
