Cat Deeley don't need no Emmy!
[I'm pretty ambivilant to awards shows, I don't keep track of them and rarely watch them. I think they're a bunch of bunk about 99% of the time. However, who nominates Ryan Seacrest over this girl? I just do not know!]

God, I was shocked when I saw the noms! Cat Deely is a big part of why SYTYCD works so well. She keeps the show running smoothly, and I'd imagine she's a great person to have standing beside you when you get done performing and face the judges. Unlike Seacrest, her banter doesn't seem forced, and she doesn't make contestants uncomfortable when she's trying to relate to them and ask them about their lives. Seacrest is a glorified announcer, while Cat Deely is a genuine host.

I think I remember last year when the emmys were actually on and I happened to notice she hadn't been nommed in the category and was just really surprised. [I'd have been surprised sooner if I had realized this was actually a category they had and paid attention to it, lol.] And so this year I pretty much looked at the noms just to see if they snubbed her again, and sure enough! Truly surprising because she really does add something to the show -- a warmth to it, I think -- that makes it unlike other competition-based reality programs. It's not forced or fake, like you said. She seems genuine and comfortable and the contestants seem comfortable with her, and it is a shame she's been overlooked!
