When I first saw her (you have to know, this is my first season watching SYTYCD) I thought, “okay, here we go again…tall, pretty, skinny host, I hate her already.”

But. But. Over the weeks, she has really grown on me. I don’t know whether it’s her genuine feelings for the dancers, or her little irreverent quips to Nigel Lythgoe, or the fact that she is most definitely not incredibly well-endowed in the boobage department and yet hasn’t succumbed to the HooterwoodHollywood pressure to enhance what mother nature has naturally given her. Actually, that’s one of the great things about this show – the complete lack of fake boobs anywhere. So refreshing!

But back to Cat. Tonight she topped it all when she wore Twitch’s glasses and then, at Nigel’s goading, wore his fake teeth “spit and all”. When she struck this pose it hit me:

"I'm all glamour, I am"

She has a common touch. She is — unlike so many Hollywood types — able to dress herself down and laugh at herself. And I like that.

Enough that I can even forgive her for those SHOES!
