So You Think You Can Dance is the only reality-competition program I’ve nominated every year it’s eligible because really it’s the best reality has to offer for me. I love dance and that is mainly what the show offers plus the adorable Cat Deeley as host really puts the show together. This past summer’s 11th season was yet again another great season for the show with the winner being Ricky Ubeda. The grand finale was great at brining the whole season together from the brillantly choreographed dances to the great competetors competing for the singal title.
