Season 5 of 'So You Think You Can Dance' kicks into high gear after revealing its Top 20 contestants last night. If you've never seen the show ... now is the time. Seriously, this is one of the best reality competitions on TV. The talent is so good, I not only watch the group numbers -- I'll rewind and play them back (how often does that happen with 'American Idol'?). Not only that, the judges actually know what they're talking about, the music selections are super current and host Cat Deeley is adorable.
You're thinking, "Another dancing show? And with such a weird title? Meh." But watch these seven 'SYTYCD' clips and I dare you not to get addicted. -- By Kelly Woo

Love your choices, but you left off "In the Garden" with Courtney & Mark. Or the Hip Hop, jail break with Kherrington & Twitch.
