Yippee! I adore <em>So You Think You Can Dance<\/em>. After watching a couple of seasons of <em>Dancing with the Stars<\/em> and then trying <em>SYTYCD<\/em>, this spring I didn&#8217;t have the slightest urge to watch even one single full episode of <em>Stars<\/em>, but I watched the entire season of <em>SYTYCD<\/em>.

Because, to me, it feels more real. I love knowing that, for the most part, these are real dancers with big dreams who just need a break. Sound familiar? It does if you&#8217;re a writer. I love watching the dancers realize their\u00a0gifts&#8230;and their limitations. I love seeing them break out of the pack to prove that they <em>do so<\/em>\u00a0have what it takes\u2014like Twitch and Joshua from the last season of <em>SYTYCD<\/em> (although I did love Will and Kherington&#8230;very sad when both were voted off). And now I don&#8217;t have to get my dance-show fix from <em>Dancing with the Stars<\/em>, because CTV has seen fit to indulge me with <em>So You Think You Can Dance Canada.<\/em> Yes, I even get to hear Mary Murphy scream.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">How about you? Do you watch reality TV? Are you a fan of <em>Dancing with the Stars<\/em> and\/or <em>So You Think Can Dance<\/em>? Which show do you like better? Why?
