Reality television has grown from a controversial experiment to a permanent fixture in pop culture, where regular people become larger than life figures such as Kim Kardashian and Snooki. And as reality television evolved, clothes seemed to disappear more and more, until one day Dating Naked was born. You can check that out Thursdays at 9/8C starting tonight, and go back in naked reality TV history here.MTV's The Real World brought people from random backgrounds together to experience life outside of their comfort zones. And once they stopped being polite and started getting real, they also got naked.

Where would skinny-dipping fiend Stassi Schroeder from Vanderpump Rules be without Ruthie and Tek from Real World: Hawaii? Love and Hip Hop wouldn't have its steamy Erica Mena and Cyn Santana hot tub session without the infamous Real World: Miami threesome (in the shower) and Real World: Las Vegas (in the hot tub). Survivor has also put its stamp on televised nudity, thanks to season one star Richard Hatch and hungry Jenna and Heidi who proved how far they'd go for peanut butter and Oreos.

Today we salute the most memorable nude moments from reality television. Thank you for getting naked.
