Move Over, Tom Bergeron
I've got a new favorite reality show host. Mind you, I don't watch much reality TV, so the list of candidates isn't particularly long, but still...
Tom Bergeron is great on Dancing With The Stars, but Cat Deeley is fantastic on So You Think You Can Dance. I'd heard she was way cool, but now I've seen for myself.
I've been impressed with how genuine she seems. She really seems excited for contestants who do well, and sympathetic to those who've had problems. She also asks interesting questions, sometimes even intervening on the dancers' behalf with the judges.
But she proved her total and complete awesomeness last Wednesday. After Chelsie and Mark completed their tango, Chelsie was limping and shaking her left foot as they walked off the stage. When they got near Cat, she realized that there was a problem with Chelsie's left shoe. She immediately dropped to her hands and knees, saw that Chelsie's toe had slipped out of the shoe, unstrapped Chelsie's shoe, took it off, put it back in (with the toe included), and strapped her shoe back up.
So very awesome! See for yourself here. (The shoe thing starts around 1:55, although Chelsie and Mark's tango was very good, and definitely worth a watch.)
