So You think You Can Dance? host Cat Deeley will be filling in for Meredith all next week on Millionaire. According to Buzzer Blog, ABC was impressed so much by Cat guest hosting the show that she was offered the hosting gig of the long running game show entering its tenth year in America in August 2009. http://buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/rumor...of-millionaire/ , http://buzzerblog.flashgameshows.com/cat-d...e-the-new-host/

All I can say is good riddance to Meredith. Seeing the first big win on her version again, after the Perfect Showcase Bid disaster last December on Price, really put into perspective for me when you can tell someone can't host big wins.

That said, Cat Deeley? That is ... dubious ... at best. I'll give her a shot though.

So you're basing her inability to host on something which happened 6 years ago? If that's the reason you don't like her as a host, you're really grasping at straws.

She hosted the win. That she failed to leap out of her chair and exclaim "ZOMFG you've won a million dollars!" like the female version of Bert Parks does not negate the facts.

Is that what those who dislike Meredith's hosting style want? Someone to yell "It's the right answer!" at the top of their lungs every step of the way? What about the idea that she's perhaps trying to stay reserved and composed because that's what the producers tell her to do? Or she wants to be dignified on screen?

How magnanimous of you. Hang on, I'll phone the Nobel Committee to get you on the short list for the Peace Prize. Yeesh.

I guess you prefer to see her every weekday morning on NBC.

Craig Karlberg · « **Reply #12 on:** February 13, 2009, 03:25:40 AM »

Not only is she guest-hosting all next week, there's also gonna be a marriage proposal on the 17th. Set your VCRs/DVRs/PVRs/Tivos accordingly for that event.

TroubadourNando · « **Reply #13 on:** February 13, 2009, 11:51:04 AM »

I was only using that event as an example. She bores me to tears, always has. And I have seen a good few shows from this season.

Not that I appreciate getting jumped on for not totally condemning Cat Deeley's prospects >_>

If you think that's why you were jumped on, then you really didn't comprehend anything that was said above.
