By John Consoli, The Wrap Reality shows were king last night over repeat scripted fare on the broadcast networks. Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" was in a virtual tie last night with NBC's "America's Got Talent" for the highest rated program of the night among adults 18-49 at a 2.8 each, but "Talent" clearly drew the most overall viewers, averaging 10 million compared to "Dance's" 7.3 million. "Dance" also won the night among adults 18-34 and teens.

Wednesday's auditions episode of "So You Think You Can Dance" was worth the price of admission if only to meet one contestant: the creator of "hick-hop," Malinda Jacobson.

Secondly, her hybrid of hip-hop, break dancing, line dancing, and square dancing was truly "unique," as Nigel put it. While the audition was clearly a spoof, the judges were still kind to Malinda, telling her that her "heart was in the right place." Maybe we're cynical, but we still can't get over how NICE these judges are.
