Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program

Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program
Phil Keoghan, "The Amazing Race"
Ryan Seacrest, "American Idol"
Tom Bergeron, "Dancing with the Stars"
Heidi Klum, "Project Runway"
Jeff Probst, "Survivor"

Will Win: Jeff Probst
Should Win: Tom Bergeron
Darkhorse: Phil Koeghan

Probst has won 2 years in a row and I think his streak will continue. But a close second is Seacrest. Koeghan hasn't won dispite the show never losing its race. I love Project Runway and if anyone should win, it should be Tim Gunn. Klum's nomination is just a filler here. Then there's Bergeron, who should win. Like Seacrest, Its a live show where you have to interact quickly and smartly with the judges and contestants, the difference is Bergeron is very funny and on his toes all the time, and has great interaction with the judges and the celebs. Seacrest is passable but not too entertaining himself and the only off scrip tend to be odd interactions with Simon.
Personally, I think this category should be broader, open to host and judges, whether to open it up indivudally or cast, is debatable, but people like Gunn and Bruno Tonloi would be welcome additions to an Emmy race.
PS, i also think there should be a contestant category. If they can have guest races for acting, they could have contestant one as well. Example, Cloris Leachman on Dancing was hilarious!

Reality - Competition Program

Outstanding Reality - Competition Program
"The Amazing Race"
"American Idol"
"Dancing with the Stars"
"Project Runway"
"Top Chef"

WILL win: American Idol
SHOULD win: Amazing Race
Darkhorse: none

I think this tends to be a 2 dog race....Idol and Amazing Race. I don't think Top Chef or Project Runway has a shot....Dancing is probably looked down upon by the voters. Amazing Race has never lost this award and I hope it win again! By far, its the best reality tv has to offer. Idol is the no 1 show on tv and its surprising it hasn't won because of that before but this year, it think it will. With the 2 hr finaly, lots of celeb preformances and a goodbye to Simon, It going to win this year.
