I've been a long time over ABDC, but they just had their Champions for Charity show tonight and the winning crews from all five seasons came back and whoa! Made of awesome. Jabba and Qwest tore the roof off. Supercrew was also really good. They had this little 8 year old kid dancing with them doing things I could not believe. And talk about weak talent pools, the drop off in quality from S1-3 to S4-5 was on full display last night. Poreotix and We Are Heroes looked like also rans. (Heroes did a bit better)
On ANTM, i'm still loving Alasia, but I agree that they all showed out last night. Too much drama and not enough fierce. I still want to be ALT's saloniste.
Haven't seen Survivor or PR yet, but since Russell is still in the mix and apparently running thangs on the island and Mila's going to fashion week, I can already tell I'm not gonna like 'em.
ABDC: Poreotix can only dream of being able to move like Jabbawockeez (I still don't understand how they won. For God's sake people, how many times can you watch a damned comic robot routine?). And OMG Qwest were just awesome.
Aw, I hope they rerun the ABDC special. Remind me what channel?
Am I the only one who watches LA Ink? This season is driving me NUTS. I swear, it didn't used to be all bullshit drama. I spent all last season waiting for them to fire Aubry, and now there's Liz, the little scheming shitweasel. Aubry was stupid, but Liz is evil. And yes, I know, edits, blah blah, but damn. They seem to be ramping up to Corey quitting, which would really be a shame.
::sigh:: Silly me, I watch for the tattoo artists and the tattoos.

I know! But Bluprint was canadian, so they may not have gotten the phone support from home.
Apparently it was still a very close vote. I really hated Poroetix. I think Jungle Boogie was robbed.
I didn't hate Poreotix. I appreciated their whimsy, but I thought that Bluprint Crew was a better dance crew, if Poreotix didn't have their isos and popping, they would have been far less strong.

I have a caught a few episodes, enough to know exactly what you are talking about. I miss the emphasis on the art. If the drama was between the artists, I'd take it a bit better, but over the "office manager" crap. Blech.
I watched ABDC last night and LOVED seeing Jabba and Qwest on stage again. And that kid was AMAZING. He seriously stole Supercrew's show. I missed the last few episodes of ABDC this year, so I hadn't realized Poreotix had won until tonight. I just felt meh about it. I like them, but don't think they come near the other champs.
Vortex, the reason why I hated them is that they seemed to have such a high regard for themselves, when they aren't even close to previous crews who have come before them on the show. They don't seem to be humble enough and so many of their routines had this weird undercurrent of homophobic panic that I wasn't sure what that was about either.

ah, I never watch the interviews. I just fast forward to the routines and sometimes I watch the judges' commentary.
