Ten Favorite Reality Show Contestants: SYTYCD's Travis Wall at #7

I am in the process of listing my Ten Favorite Reality Show Contestants of All Time. Some of these folks I fell in love with for the talent; others simply had personalities that won me over. Any way you look at them, though, these are my faves from shows such as American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Amazing Race, Survivor, and many more.

Please note: I did not include any person who was a "celebrity" before they appeared on a reality show, so all contestants from Dancing with the Stars and other shows like it were ineligible for this list.



#8 - Travis Wall, So You Think You Can Dance

Here's an embarrassing Idol Thoughts secret for ya -- I have never screamed as loudly as I did for Travis Wall at the So You Think You Can Dance concert in 2006.

What is it about the dancing wonder that inspired so much passion that my vocal chords were hurting for days? Aw, let me count the ways:

(A) He's adorable. I mean, look at that picture!

(B) His dancing is transcendant. Along with Nick Lazarrini, Danny Tidwell and Sabra Johnson, he is one of the best and most versatile dancers the show has ever seen. The contemporary "park bench" dance, choreographed by Mia Michaels, that he did with Heidi? Sheer genius. And those spins? Next to his step-brother Danny, no one has spun with the power and authority that Travis did.

(C) His charming personality. Try, just try, not to fall a little bit in love with him when smiles. I dare ya.

Yeah, I love Travis. Don't you?
