89th Place: Sahara Davenport (Season 2) - finished 7th

It's hard placing Sahara anywhere in this list given her passing. Season two was a genuine gem of reality television and whilst Sahara wasn't as dramatic a part of it, she was truly a radiant and impassioned performer and gave her all to the three lipsyncs she was involved with. I guess she's also the first ever queen to give us a jump split on the show, and well, that's a legacy that carries on.

As I've said, she wasn't quite involved with all the fights that season (Raven vs. Tati, Morgan vs. Mystique, everyone vs. Tyra) and so it seemed inevitable that she would be sent home sooner or later for not delivering on the "good TV" front, but Sahara managed to win a challenge (the poledancing / Cherry Pie! one) and left the season with a pretty strong sisterhood. If Miss Congeniality actually meant something, she would've won.

Sahara is also remembered for being the ex-partner of Manila Luzon, and of course sharing a house dynasty with Kennedy. The Davenports - just by these two showings - are a name to be reckoned with and they deliver some of the best dancers the show's ever seen.
