I really enjoy this show, abundantly entertaining!

My predictions are:

Winner: Team Quest
First Runner-up: Beat Freaks
Second Runner-up: The Strikers
The rest are mediocre... wom wom wom

As Shane said in the last show to the Ringmasters, "enjoy doing all that bone breaking now because by the time you reach 40 you are done!" :razz:

I like Quest Crew but I think they should have been called the "So You Think You Can Dance" crew. 3 of them I recognize from the previous season of the show. I think they put on two solid performance and sometimes I don't understand the judges like JC. I think they did amazing in the last show with the kickboxing but JC just wasn't feeling it. Shane was even asking if they are watching the same show. This seasons crews seem to be more interesting to watch compared to last season which I thought was so weak compared to the first with the Jabbawockeez. I hope they have some sort of all-star crew show later on.

Strikers killed it last night with their mirror routine and Quest crew also did an excellent job and they had to do part of their routine blind folded too! I can't believe that tap dancing crew made it through, their performance last night was weak compared to Team Millenia and Ringmasters.

Am not keeping track withe the latest and since I catch it on Sunday as well. I'll probably make a prediction in 2 weeks but Strikers All Stars are great along with Beat Freaks.

Edit. And Quest haha, nailed ep 1.

Quest is gona take it for sure. You are right, that have 3 members who made it to the final 20 on 'so you think' and the rest made it on tv through auditions except 2. They are gona take it for sure.

JC is the worst friggin judge EVERRRRRRRRRR. I was so happy to see Rainen judge the first ep and was praying that it was a permanent position. JC tries to be the 'Simon" judge but is so damn bad at it! At least Simon only bags on the poor performances. JC seems to roll some dice in his empty skull for comments. A TOTAL DOUCHE.

- Last night showcased Britney Spears as the main theme.

- Quest are amazing, even JC said it himself, "My favourite performance of the night."

- Strikers brought it with their mirror movement challenge.

- Beat Freakz showed their versatility with Womanizer.

- Dynamic Edition needs to get voted off, they're plain boring!

A TOTAL DOUCHE.You know JC actually helps out the dance crews. You have to be honest with yourself, not all of the performances that go out are amazing. When the crew learns their mistakes, they'll come back again even better.

When Jabbawockeez set the bar so high, you can't let new crews slip in that suck.
Every new season should be better, not the other way around.

So I got some respect for JC.

But he bags on the best performances too, like the jabbas and quest. It seems to me like he's just doing it to be an ass.

nope, i disagree.

JC actually has real criticisms and helps the groups grow.

As mentioned the show is not Best Hip Hop Dance Crew or some derivative, its best dance crew.

In that sense, a dance crew should be able to do it all great (choreographed dances, tricks, etc.....) He is always quick to point out when a group doesn't do well in one aspect and tries to help them improve it especially with the choreographed stuff (group dancing together). He was with NSync and has tonnes of experience with that. Lil mama and Shane never say anything that seems helpful. Either it was a dope performance or they gotta bring it next week.

Quest Crew is great and has tonnes of tricks but nothing I've seen before since they were on SYTYCD. I don't think they should win because 99% of the routine is just pulling out super tricks.

I love the tap-dancing group. Its just something totally different from everyone else in terms of dance style. I never expected a clogging group to ever be on the show. They are at least the most precise group on the show considering the movement they have to do and everyone does it in sync.

I think Beat Freaks might win this thing.

It seems to me like he's just doing it to be an ass.Well he does in some because they might not have been as good as the previous performance. Lemme give you an example. For Jabba, the audition he is right on. Apologize mix he explains how it tells a story and it does if you focus on the movements. Week 3 wasn't as great as Week 2 Icebox. Week 6 wasn't as a great as Jackson Week 5. So yeah that's why I respect his criticism. I also want him to totally diss out crappy performances, especially season 3 because some crews suck.

Dynamic Edition has to go. They're pretty much a one trick pony and don't have mad tricks like quest/ring masters or the choreography of strikers/beat freaks. Clogging is entertaining, but it can get repetitive. I think they peaked with the first performance and are out this week.

You think DE is a one trick pony, the ring masters are a one trick pony. All they do is bone breaking and its pratically the same thing every week.

DE will be in the bottom because they failed at the challenge of using chairs which killed their performance.

I suspect DE and Ringmasters in the bottom or Fly Khicks and Ringmasters.

ALso, this week is the whack track challenge. I saw the list of songs and they are pretty whack. think NKOTB etc..

Don't think Quest will take it, too many of them been on Tv too many times, and that says something.

Kid Rainen is better judge than all 3, Shane, JC & Lil Daddy. With Shane being the best since he was/is a choreographer.

Picking Jabbawoceez in seas 1 was a no brainer, they already had their branding down, had their own fan base, were the most marketable, had the mask no other dance crew sinc then had that appeal.

IMO Randy neeeds to make some decisions to save the show, starting w/ the judges...

Maybe they need to bring in Nigel and Mary the hot tamale train from So You Think You Can Dance :lol:

I don't mind Shane being a judge but I think he is biased towards a certain style of dance where as JC is more open which is why you see him praise a mediocre performance from Dynmic Edition compared to something great done by another crew. I think Lil' Mama or Daddy is useless and just there to round things out. I wonder who picks JC wardrobe on the show, he has worn some pretty feminine things. Bottom line the judges should have a background in choreography such as Shane. JC and little mama are just has beens or never will be's.

Kid Rainen is a better judge than 3? What makes a good judge is telling the truth or having the balls to the tell the truth and not going on what everyone else thinks. There wasn't much to say on Episode 1 for Rainen so you can't really see his judging skills.

BTW Episode 3 has probably the best performances for Season 3, well so far. Beat Freaks really surprised me with their sharpness but I favor Strikers All Star for the use of the mirror and I never seen them dance a good choreographed routine. The Fly girls were hot.

I think Team M showed more dancing skills but I was loling after Ringmasters made it... like I thought Team M would make it through but I wanted Ringmasters because they were more clever and entertaining.

So yeah hope the crappy music next week will be good.

( Cool we can watch episodes on MuchMusic, too bad it isn't TV quality )

Quest as a group hasn't been on TV but some of the group members have auditioned and made it onto the show So You Think You Can Dance like Hok.

OMG I can't believe Dynamic Edition slid through again this week. Ringmasters and Fly Khicks are bottom two :(

i really hope they don't pick a girl group to win this season 3 although they probably will just to round out the fact that 2 all-guy groups won the first 2 seasons.

lets face it, none of the girl groups are great. they're not BAD, but the guy crews are WAY better.

and the clogging crew is obviously there just for novelty's sake. just like break sk8 from season 1. they're highly skilled but are obviously not actually going to win as best dance crew.

quest crew is definitely on top right now and i really want to like them except for the fact that their STYLE is repulsive!!! looks like a bunch of california emo kids.

i kind of wish kaba modern came back. definitely my 2nd fave from season 1.

This season's all girl crews have the most talent compared to the first two. The previous seasons all girl crews like Femme 5, Fysh N Chicks and Shhhh! are lousy. Beat Freaks did a very good job and they had the first girl to a do a head spin like Rainen from Jabbawockeez.

and the clogging crew is obviously there just for novelty's sake. just like break sk8 from season 1. they're highly skilled but are obviously not actually going to win as best dance crew.

I guess you can say the same thing for Ringmasters, they are a "one trick pony" type group but I was sad to see them go before Dynamic Edition. Did you guys see the crazy backflip the ringmaster member did before they walked it out :) Entertaining group none the less. Quest did an amazing job and that illusion Hok created with that handstand was nuts!

I hate how they always always always have them pretend to struggle with the choreography in the intro vid. I'm waiting for one crew to just flat out say it was an easy week, we nailed it. They always have lame injuries or fake falls. Boohoo.

The theme for this week's challenge was classic songs that were catchy, however very lame at the same time.

As for this week's competition, I would say Beat Freakz came out on top for their performance. I really believe their versatility and bboy flavour is appealing among voters and really fuels their current success.

My boys Quest also proved why they're heavy contenders for ABDC, Hok's illusion of the hand-stand dance was smooth. I also think they have that unique selling point in their introduction videos, similar to Jabbawockeez, where they seem to enjoy each others' company and have a great time pulling moves out their trick bag.

Strikers had a mediocre performance, nothing mind-blowing or something that's never been done before. They might have a chance at the title.

Dynamic Edition, what can I say, they're next to go!

Fly kickz were okay as well, nothing special. They're in the bottom two next week with DE for sure!

Ring Masters have that comedic factor and will be missed, not for their memorable performances, but humor and thug life-like image . I loved their reaction when they got their song, "WTF Macrena!"

Did I miss anyone? Who cares, probably wasn't a good performance anyways.

Dynamic Edition had their best performance this week. It was great and they will probably be in the final four.

Fly Khicks is out next for sure. There performances are pretty much the same thing every week and in terms of girl groups, they are blown out by Beat Freaks.

After watching the last two episodes, I really think that Quest Crew will now win. they have finally incorporated everything into stunning performances (ie/they do alot of choreography now).

I don't know, Beat Freaks seems to be on the decline. Yes, they are b-girls and thats new but they don't compete with past b-boys on the show. I though their performance was okay as I was not entertained by it.

Strikers had an off performance this week.

I think Beat Freaks are going to go farther than Strikers All Stars after seeing episode 4. I think they have a better chance of winning because their a b-boy girl crew. But really at the end, its all about variety and skill like week 7 of Jabbawockeez.

I don't think Quest can add much variety to the season winners.

but its the viewers that vote and not the judges that decide.

I think most people can pretty much guarantee at least top two for Quest. They have people in the group from SYTYCD and that already provides them with notoreity. They also performed as a group on the same show.

Beat Freaks has a good chance but I don't think being just a b-girl group is enough considering the audience watching this show.

HOLY SH*T, Beat Freakz are now my new favourite dance crew! If you have not seen their week 5 performance, you are in for the greatest performance ever throughout its 3 seasons. That whole performance was truly AMAZING!

Quest Crew had a great performance as well, I can't believe J.C. criticized they're lack of transition! He needs to provide more technical advice, his comments were truly awful, there is no need to justify your dislike for one's group and make up ugly lies to pretend that you have any knowledge of dancing in general.

For unknown reasons, unfortunately Fly Kickz got spared, it was obvious that Dynamic Edition out-danced Fly kickz this week. They're only kept on for their image and sexual moves. Oh well, I guess we all need eye candy.

Strikers, lame ass performance. You got owned by your own tricks.

I disagree. I was impressed by Beat Freaks but I don't think its the best performance ever on ABDC. Yes, it was very good, but they also had the easiest task. Cmon, the ball just floated everywhere. Thats easy to make a great routine for. Strikers had to walk through an object and it required a cloth thus making it impossible to get a good routine. Same can be said for Quest Crew, but I don't think they used the right prop or used a prop to the fullest advantage. I was hoping for a true illusions week like where Jabba did the Superman flying trick. thats what I was hoping for this week and not some hocus pocus. DE was mauled for the same reason. Setting up the cloth and everything just ate too much time for a good dance routine. Something like the ball doesn't need a setup and can just be thrown in.

I have yet to see the Fly Khicks but I know DE is better than them period. Probably kept on because they are more hip hop than DE ( i can bet lilmama and shane chose to get rid of them).

I agree, the ball illusion sold itself easy! Give that to any of the groups and they would be on the top. Doesn't take that much creativity to dance around a floating silver ball and make it look amazing. That was the only trick I couldn't figure out!! MINDFREAK!!!

lil daddy bugged the crap out of me when she silenced ppls boo's after JCs comments of quest crew. It's a ****ing show meant to entertain, they can boo whatever they want. I would have boo'd the crap out of her while she said that. The groups can look at the tapes and get advice off camera if they want, during the show crowd presence is essential. Telling people to shutup is ridiculous.

you do realize things on TV comes off differently then they do at the show, so people at the show may have viewed Quest's performance as better. It wasn't better on TV, but we don't know since we weren't sitting in the audience.

Also, I've read that the MTV takes the rehearsal and performance for the crowd and mixes the multiple performances into the final thing we see. Therefore the crowd sees everything.

Agreed, JC was right in the QC was posing too much in their performance. It was not as good as their previous weeks, and JC had the right to let them know. Each performance should be better than the last, and QC took a small step back last week. I am still a big fan of them.

QC is done this week.

Wiki says they are performing to Chris Brown and with him assaulting Rihanna people might not vote for them. Subconsciously you would perceive them as supporting C.Brown.

I love Beat Freaks but I really think they have yet to be challenged at all by any of the challenges because it just hasn't been hard.

Week 2/ Side Plank - All are b-girls, easy for them to do the side plank. In their defense, I think the Fit challenge overall was stupid.

Week 3/Britney Week - Perform masculine and feminine sides. What a joke? we already knew they could do it. They have female members and pretending to be britney like should be easy. They are b-girls so they got to have the masculine attitude of bboys already.

Week 4/ Magic Week - Make something levitate- the easiest prop to use out of all the groups. It basically made their performance.

I'm not saying that all the other groups had it hard but some weeks there is a noticeable difference in challenge level.

LOL. It's a dance show. I highly doubt people will not vote for a crew based on the habits of the singer of the song they are dancing to, come on. By that logic no one in American Idol would get votes for anyone who sings a Whitney Houston song. But I agree that some might choose to vote for others that may need the votes vs voting for who they think were the best, like last season as mentioned.

This week's has hit youtube albeit just the performances. Just from a viewer's standpoint, the show didn't look good at all except for the opening beat freaks.

I thought Quest didn't do well at all. I believe it was their worse performance (well, I enjoyed this one the least). I think they are in the bottom with Fly Khicks next week.

Beat Freaks had an okay performance, not as enjoyable as last week's. I know people are crazy about the head-spin, but how many times do I have the see it used to end a routine. let it rest already, Jabba did it better and stop trying to feed off their fanbase. Its time to try something else. Also, their b-girl moves weren't too good especially with stuff I've seen in the past (not just on this show).

Being a true Quest Crew fan, I found myself mildly disappointed with their performance. It lacked any mind-blowing stunts or exquisite choreography.

Infact, I also agree that this is definitely their worst performance to date!

In the crazy, bizarre, ungrammatical words of Lil' Mama,

I disagree. I was impressed by Beat Freaks but I don't think its the best performance ever on ABDC. Yes, it was very good, but they also had the easiest task. Cmon, the ball just floated everywhere. Thats easy to make a great routine for. Strikers had to walk through an object and it required a cloth thus making it impossible to get a good routine. Same can be said for Quest Crew, but I don't think they used the right prop or used a prop to the fullest advantage. I was hoping for a true illusions week like where Jabba did the Superman flying trick. thats what I was hoping for this week and not some hocus pocus. DE was mauled for the same reason. Setting up the cloth and everything just ate too much time for a good dance routine. Something like the ball doesn't need a setup and can just be thrown in.


completely agreed. the only reason the beat freaks were so 'good' that week was because their magic trick was the easiest to dance to. even the judges sounded more impressed by their magic trick then their dancing.

and i cant believe shane sparks went nuts over one of the girls doing some ticking for like a second? or how much praise they got for being the first girl dance crew to bring a headspin? how are these monumental feats in the world of dance? god i hope this ****** group doesnt win.

It's a show people. It's not just about how good you can dance (true, it is a big factor), but more of how you also choreograph your dance w/ or w/o 'magic trick' to amuse the audience. In this regard, I think Beat Freaks has done a really good job.

Either way I hope either one of these crews win and one thing is for sure, this season is much better than last!

I was disappointed in their decision to kick off Strikers... though one of the dude screwed up, i enjoyed that routine better than fly kicks. Strikers All Stars don't b-boy so seeing some moves were really cool.

Beat Freaks owned it... they have shown their skilled in all variety of dance and I hope they win over Quest which they probably will. The girls look pretty confident to win it too.

Sorry Quest isn't going to win, Beat Freaks can come up with better routines as a whole group compared to Quest.

Quest Crew has been redeemed this week. They are in the final two with Beat Freaks and Fly Khicks got sent home last night.

Beat Freaks did an alright performance last night but they had secured a final spot anyways so no pressure there.

I just watched the full episode not off youtube or watchabdc.com and its over for Beat Freaks.

Quest Crew absolutely demolished them in both challenges. Well thats my POV at least.

For the first performance, I think QC was able to really excel due to the length of the performance and the styles involved. It was their thing and they proved that they owned the stage. The flip from the cross-legged position (no hands) is nuts. The leg strength required to do that is ridiculous. The whole performance was nuts. That krumping section was crazy. The tutting was nuts as well, very Kaba Modernish.

For the second performace, QC took the cake as well. Beat Freaks had been doing a lot of the head spins and QC just took another step by incorporating the piano and music to coordinate with the spin speed. They also did something a little different with the music which I thought made it stand out a bit more than Beat Freaks music.

Hopefully America makes the right choice and chooses Quest Crew but its still pretty much 50/50 considering Beat Freaks squashed QC the two weeks prior.

^ Agree with everything you said. But I have to add the very last section in the piano routine when one guy was pushed over 2 other guys while doing a back flip. I have never seen that in my entire life and was blown the hell away. I can't imagine how many times they had to practice that to get it flawless for a stage performance.

I had a feeling Quest kinda laid back the last couple weeks knowing they would pull through and save their stuff to blow everyone away in the later stages which they accomplished. BFz seemed burnt out from killing it the last couple weeks. Kinda uninspiring...kinda like they fell back to week 1, sorry to say.

BF was still good, but was not great. They did seem burnt out as I thought the routines were good but the execution wasn't there. There were quite a few parts I noticed them either losing some of their energy and parts where some members became out of sync.

Still one of the better episodes of the season.

oh...I swear I've seen them do that flip at the end before (I think it was in their first performance). I was surprised they didn't do the flip into the head stand. That move is always good.

totally confused as to why everyone thought their katy perry dance was so good. the robot beginning was nice, but i mean how in the hell did the judges think THAT PART killed the show? have they never seen isolations before? kaba modern did isolations with MUCH more variety and skill in season 1 and i don't recall lil mama giving them a standing ovation for any of it?

either way i guess i called it earlier in this thread. basically they're going to crown beat freaks as abdc because they need to change it up a bit despite the fact they're clearly an inferior crew. they are pushing this female vs male thing way too far.

i mean seriously, how could that other female crew fly kicks STILL be on the show? they're ****ing terrible and completely unimaginative?! definitely pretty much laughed out loud when they started tutting with their shoes on their hands. what in the hell.

quest crew and jabbawockeez arent similar at all in any way besides the fact that they both rule hard. quest crew clearly does WAY more big tricks. jabbawockeez are extremely creative with their intricate work and are theatrically focused. the only thing i dont like about quest crew is their LA emo boy style but meh. they clearly deserve this season.

beat freaks doesn't bring ANYTHING new to the table whatsoever. they've been praised so far for: headspins, ticking, and isolations. aka things any dance crew should already know anyway. they just happen to be all girls doing these things and that is somehow supposed to impress me? if anything beat freaks try to copy jabbawockeez waaaay more.

i've been a huge jabbawockeez fan and have not seen a single crew since season 1 that could top them. honestly though, after seeing quest crew doing their hip hop decathlon and last chance dance, they might actually be my overall favourite now. seriously, the stuff they pulled off was jaw dropping. beat freaks have absolutely NOTHING on them now.

+1!

One of the comments were they dance like guys? How is that a compliment? Their highlight move is a head spin. Including that and everything else they do, quest does better. Bringing something new to the table is different than performing well. If originality was totally king than fanny packs and DE would be on top, but they get tired easy and do not deliver variety and consistency. I gave it to BF the past two weeks but they were blessed with a levitating ball, the only trick I couldn't figure out. The head spin while putting shades on had me on my feet...but Quest killed it when it counts!

jabba will always be the bar to pass. they were the first and in the minds of the fans always be the ones to beat. their 'apologize' routine is still my favorite set overall, with super crews 'ballin' a close second before this season. quest seems to mix creativity with huge tricks. after season 4 i would love to see a battle royale of america's best BEST dance crew.

Are you really watching? Quest Crew is more similar to Super Crew but have their own flavour because each guy is so charismatic (which I thought Super Crew lacked). They are not even close to Jabba. Jabba was very intricate with some b-boys moves thrown in every so often. They had unique and memorable dancees.

Super Crew was actually quite good and should have been in the final with either Fanny Pak or Supreme Soul. I can't even remember the crew that lost. I just remember them trying to be like Kaba Modern but weren't even close.

I'm thinking Beat Freaks might win just for the sake of saying a female group has won the show, but they don't deserve too if I were to look over all the dances. There last two performances were great but not at that level where I was sitting there going OMG. Quest Crew are much better. They execute the same tricks at a higher level and I think their performances are more original. They try something new or try to tell something different each performance even when they have their basic tricks thrown in. The thing with Beat Freaks is that their 'tricks' are the same every performance. How many times did they have the head spin be part of their routine? off the top of my head, I can recall at least 2 performances and I'm thinking its more if I sit back and watch it again. The trick they use the most is when they have 5 members in the back dancing and the two girls spinning on their backs in front. They use that almost every dance.

If this pattern shows anything the crew that survives the final elimination always win (i know its only been two seasons).

I think one thing that everyone would agree on is that Quest and BF are the two best crews this season. So really I don't care if it goes either way that much.

That said I prefer Quest crew overall. I think theyve been more consistent and really have some awsome moves.

BF on the other hand I think have been less consistent but with the best single performance (illusion challenge) by far. I feel in some ways though that they haven't lived up to their claims (that they as girsl can do everything that the boys can). Headspins arnt the be all end all of breaking. For example, if they really can do it all, then why not show us some air flares or something, quest has at least twice now and even forearm airflares.


After last shows performance Im not sure who has the upper hand. prior to theshow i guess BF since quest was voted into the bottom. But i think quest had a better performance so maybe theyll have the advantage this round.


So does anyone else think that the way that the producers and judges have been pushing the "first female champion thing" is really just a bit rediculous? For example the judges rescuing flykicks from elimination like what 4 times inow or something? If a female crew is gonna win, then just let them without skewing the results, and I don't think anyone would contest BF winning. Just don't give them special treatment by constantly trying to sway the voters, it only detracts from their victory.

Sure, if BF win I dont think anyone would contest that.

I'm the biggest ABDC fan, and definitely agree Jabba's set the bar for pretty much all seasons. However this season its pretty much decided by Randy Jackson Beat Freaks will be crowned the champs. They emphasized all season long they never had a all female crew be in the finals! They even hyped up a head spin for crying out loud! Alright I'll give it to them, they're the first female crew to perform a headspin but c'mmon now.. regardless of how weak they're last 2 performances were, don't even get me started on how akward Maryss was when she did the "housing". Doesn't matter how good Quest Crew performed both the performances and the crazy flips Steve did at the end of both performances. It's already been decided Beat Freaks will be the champs.

Only memorable performances from Beat Freaks would the very 1st performance, magic ball performance and the robotic section they did. For Quest crew, it would out number them. Also you can't really compare Super Cr3w and Quest they're both similar as they both primarily do bboying hower Quest is a bit more versatile.

Now unless MTV makes Quest Crew the champs then I'll have second thoughts on believing MTV is rigged, although I still think they are. I thought MTV would rig it for sure by having Quest eliminated and having Fly Khicks and Beat Freaks in the final because of the much emphasis on "all female crew" making it this far.. but I was wrong on that part.

Throughout the whole competition I've been riding up Quest since ABDC already has a full b-boy crew (Supercrew). You can say this week Quest has shown that they can be ABDC.

oh...I swear I've seen them do that flip at the end before (I think it was in their first performance). I was surprised they didn't do the flip into the head stand. That move is always good.

They also did that flip on American Idol

They emphasized all season long they never had a all female crew be in the finals! They even hyped up a head spin for crying out loud! Alright I'll give it to them, they're the first female crew to perform a headspin but c'mmon now..


Agreed. "first female headspin" shouldn't be worth any points, it should be a headspin is a headspin and worth a standard amount of points (or not) regardless of who does it.


don't even get me started on how akward Maryss was when she did the "housing".

I actually thought her housing was the best part of the routine.

Actually shorty is the hottest.



I think Maryss is hotest followed closely by Shorty.

seriously... that was unbelievable...

ya for serious the direction that hes throwing his weight to do the back flip is at a complete 90 degree angle of the direction hes moving. Its all in the push, and imagine how awkward that takeoff is being pushed.

Doesn't really matter that they've done it before. Its still way better than anything BF did.

GOOD n e s s !!!

Just saw this week's show... Quest is the BEST!!!

Their consistently imaginative routines, stunts we've *never* seen before, and IMHO, as theatrical as Jabba was, I think these guys are just as theatrical - it's just a different kind of theatre (masterpiece vs. schtick), but the caliber is the same. And if we reflect on the sometimes-laughable judges' feedback, what's the one specific thing they've been knocked on? Walking-transitions. Well you know what? BF's done that so many times, I've lost count. Even in today's performances!

Conspiracy theory: Specifically Shane Sparks has been bought off or "chosen" to be the judge that really pushes the "first female group in the finale" angle or maybe even just be the one to push BF. I mean seriously? Specific mention of that "housing" section that's so "hot right now" and how he thought it was so cold the way BF did that section? Like I said, laughable. But he's definitely the one that's the most vocal about BF's supposed revolutionary performances...

With that said, I agree; this is probably the first season where the two best crews are in the finale. But between BF and Quest, I think Quest takes it, hands down. Wish we could vote!

Yah I'm kind of sickened by Shane Sparks promoting BF, especially when he hailed them as ABDC 2 weeks ago. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of a judge if he is not impartial or objective. We'll see what the viewers think this week.

He's the not as bad as Lil Mama but lately he has been worse.

He's really pushing for Beat Freaks and was absolutely wrong about the housing section. It looked terrible on TV. the dancer looked really awkward and uncomfortable taking the main spot for that section.

Yah. He's been a pretty weak judge/choreographer, all the way back to SYTYCD. His replacement there, Napoleon and Tabitha, are way better. It just goes to show that ABDC is a second rate dance show with the choice of judges and host. That's too bad since much of the dancing is more entertaining than the mainstream dance shows.

What I thought was most biased was after BF performed on the first episode he thought they could be the first female champions...come on, thats wa to bold, how could he possibly know who the best crew is gonna be after a single performance.

so are QC and BF performing or is it just the results and multi crew reunion performances?

In the last two season finales there were 3 components; one performance with both finalists together, a section with multiple reunion performances with all crews from that season, and finally, a performance by the winning crew after they've been crowned ABDC.

From what I read, the only reason Shane is really hyping up BF is because they worked with him in the movie You Got Served

maybe.

this show is sort of semi-rigged as I've read that most of the crews are asked to come on the show rather than actually TRYING OUT.

I know the Asian in BF is one of Gwen Stefani's harajuku girls.

if they don't there is a problem with the show.

thing is they can easily rig the votes, there is no way to tell how many people voted for who.

That little firework malfunction during dimitri's speech at the end was funny :lol: i hope they do an all star season or reunion show with jabba, kabba, quest and the other amazing crews from all 3 seasons.

instead of pushing the stupid male female thing, its should have been "the battle of LA"since there both from LA.

Now that all three season's winners are from the west coast, 2 from california and 1 from nevada (and yes Nevada is part of the west coast for this purpose), I'm sure we can count on the producers to give an unfair hype advantage to an east coast crew next season!

Do recall season 1, the producers obviously rigged the competition by letting Status Quo, never came close to winning majority votes on any week, into the finals. By doing so, forcing Jabbawockeez and Kaba Modern, both west coast crews to battle it out in the semis.

It's obvious that they were pushing for an EAST VS WEST showdown, it was unfair. Luckily season 3, America got it right this time around and the two best crews throughout the season made it into the finals.

One thing I don't think is Wikipedia has ADBC Season 3 results of each week posted weeks ago. At that time, I was thinking how the hell Quest Crew would be in bottom 2.

its not posted weeks earlier.

sometimes its just plain posted wrong as well. I remember seeing Fly Khicks as eliminated but that didn't happen.

I think it was kind of obvious Quest would be in the bottom 2. They were not good for 2 weeks and Beat Freaks was definitely better those 2 weeks.

The thing that won the show for them was there last 2 performances. They definitely had more 'fire' than Beat Freaks in those last 2 performances and blew the house down. That gave them the win.
