[ # ] Cat Deeley disses her American competitors?

So You Think You Can Dance’s Cat Deeley did an interview with Radio Times and according to IOL when she was talking about the other hosts in America she kind of dissed them.

“It’s a lot easier to get Americans to scream and shout and dance and clap. In Britain, it’s almost as if we’re ashamed of having ambition and drive.”
The presenter, who grew up in Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands, said: “When I watch shows in America, I feel that some of the hosts are a little ’Stepford’ – in the nicest possible way.
“It feels as if they’re more worried if the light is in the right place and they’re standing right than they are about communicating with an audience.
“The fundamental part of my job is to communicate with an audience in a very real way. I think I’m maybe a bit ’realer’ than typical American hosts.”
Deeley said of working in the US: “As much as you hear that you have to be size zero, you have to be Botoxed and have your lips and boobs done, no-one has ever said to me ’Fix your nose’ or ’Get big boobs’.
“I’m comfortable in my own skin and I think that helps enormously.”
Deeley said of her life in LA: “I can host a show, then just hours later be riding my horse, and no one bothers me because Tom Cruise and Will Smith live down the road and are much more interesting.
“When I land in LA, it feels like LA, but when I land in London, and you see the Thames and St Paul’s on the plane’s final approach, it feels like home.”

I have to admit after reading what she said, I kind of lost some respect for her. While I agree some of the hosts seem a little Stepford as she put it, I am wondering if she said what she said because she is bitter that the Emmys have yet to nominate for best Reality Show host?

yeah seriously, I thought what she said was actually quite humble, didn’t seem she dissed anyone.
