9. Luke Robinson
The core atmosphere surrounding Tough Enough encourages people to be brash. After all, WWE contracts don't just come along every day, and the opportunity to chase one brings out an ultra-competitive streak in people that they perhaps never even knew they had. For Luke Robinson, that meant coming across as a pretty unlikeable jerk, one who would stop at nothing to earn his stripes and enter a bold new world as a WWE superstar. During the fifth season, Luke proved himself to be pretty unpopular with his fellow trainees, mainly because he 'spoke his mind'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH2yppoWH08 In reality, this meant he wasn't afraid to try and throw his peers under a bus at any given opportunity, especially in front of the judges. It's difficult to say whether or not Steve Austin somewhat admired Robinson's antics, but it's safe to say that he wasn't really viewed as a nice person. Hardly surprising, because the guy came across as pretty talented - but far too cocky to progress - and any time he was on screen, the man grated on just about everybody.
