We know, we know, you never thought you would see Kate Gosselin on any kind of "Best" list when it came to hair, but ladies -- the day has come. While she may be rigid and awkward on the dance floor, her hair is certainly not. Her loose blonde waves look so much better than her old spiky mess that garnered her so much media attention in the past. Forget her dance moves, the makeover alone gets a "10" from us.

Worst: Priscilla Presley, Season 6
Priscilla Presley was once married to "The King" of hip gyrations, but it didn't seem as though she picked up any of Elvis the Pelvis' style when watching her on the show. Fifth to be voted off isn't terrible, but it isn't great either. What was terrible was her dye job. Instead of setting the dance floor on fire, it looks as though she set her roots off instead.
What do you get when you bring together a bunch of B-list celebrities, sexy professional dance partners, lots of sequins, and the waltz, tango or foxtrot? Besides numerous sprained ankles and "I-can't-believe-they-hooked-up" drama, you get a whole lot of reality TV fun. And with any big dancing production, you get a lot of hit or miss celebrity hairstyles ripe for water cooler ridicule.
For the last 10 seasons, "Dancing with the Stars" on ABC has been pairing random celebrities (most with some sort of scandalous past -- i.e. DUIs, sex-scandals, prison stints) together with professional dancers to learn choreographed routines that are performed in front of a live studio audience and a panel of judges. Each week, a couple gets the boot based on votes from viewers, and more often than not, it has nothing to do with who tangoed the best. Which got us beauty gals thinkin', could the hairstyles these celebrities wear possibly be influencing America's votes? We personally know how difficult it is to properly judge our favorite reality show queen or playboy playmates' two-step when they are dancing with some seriously bad hair, ratty looking hair extensions, or footloose frizz.
While of course, in judging these celebrity hairstyles, one has to take into account that such a circus of a show lends itself to some funky formal 'dos. But, for instance, did Brook Burke's beautiful brown waves have anything to do with her almost perfect scores in season seven? Or were Shannon Doherty's silly pigtails the reason she was the first to be ousted this season? Was it Marie Osmond's fainting spell or her rough-looking curls that got her sympathy votes? Let's look at some evidence. Here are the ten best and worst hairstyles from "Dancing with the Stars". We think you'll agree that their hair had a lot to do with their success.
