America’s Best Dance Crew: Gangster tactics used to teach voters a lesson!
August 2, 2008 in America's Best Dance Crew, Entertainment, TV, TV News by Rocky
The elimination of the Boogie Bots this week was brutal and calculated. It was a message from the producers and judges to the voters showing what will happen if we do not vote the way they tell us too. They tore the Boogie Bots to shreds, showing no mercy. This was the first time of both seasons that a crew was eliminated without some positive comments to soften the blow. They were pretty much told they did not belong on the show, especially in the final four.
Most people knew the Bots would be going home this week, but how it was done was tactless and petty. If producers want to control the order that crews are eliminated in, they need to do away with public voting. Otherwise, they can suck it up like the rest of us and just deal with the results as they happen. We all have a favorite crew that leaves before we think they should. We get snarly about it, but we move on. That’s what the judges should have done this week.
The elimination segment pretty much overshadowed the other performances, and that’s a shame. I had to rewatch the show to remember the first two performances.
This week really defined each of the four remaining crews.
Super Cr3w gave us the wow.
SoReal Cru gave us the groove.
Fanny Pak gave us the cool.
Boogie Bots gave us the smooth.
The Boogie Bots lacked real energy in their performance and were sent home.
Super Cr3w and Fanny Pak were amazing from beginning to end.
SoReal Cru was great but not up to par with the other two performances this week. That worries me for the upcoming elimination round. Lil Mama and J.C. have not been overly supportive of SoReal, especially in comparison to Fanny Pak. On top that, this coming weeks music challenge will be 80’s themed, which means Fanny Pak will be in their element. Are we looking at a showdown between Super Cr3w and Fanny Pak?
I am still hoping for a Super Cr3w ending!
