This week on
America's Best Dance Crew 2, the three remaining crews –
Fanny Pak,
SoReal Cru and
Super Cr3w – will have to tackle not one, but two challenges at they battle their way to the top two.
This week's challenge will be focused on ‘80's music and dancing, so it would seem to be a slam-dunk for ‘80's lovers Fanny Pak. Not so, they told MTV's Remote Control Blog, saying despite their love for the fashion exemplified in their name, their dancing itself isn't actually from that decade. ““This week's challenge is going to be harder for us than everybody thinks,” they told the blog.
So what could be the outcome for this round of
America's Best Dance Crew 2?
It's really a toss-up. While SoReal Cru hasn't been in the bottom, with just three strong crews remaining, their spot isn't guaranteed. Fanny Pak was flying high for a few episodes, but wound up in the bottom two against Boogie Bots. Considering the judges' opinion of the other crew, Fanny Pak did have a slam dunk in that particular episode, but now they are back on level playing ground with the other two groups. Super Cr3w still seems to have the ability to dominate from a technical perspective, but the audience hasn't always loved them.
I think if Super Cr3w does wind up in the bottom two, though, it would very difficult for the judges to send them home. Their overall tightness and excitement I think would keep them safe against the other two if it's left up to the judges. They've shown the ability to take the criticism of the judges (well, JC Chasez) and incorporate it into their routines, they are always explosive and entertaining, and they keep a good attitude. So if it comes down to the voting pairing them up against either of the other crews, I'd still put my money on them.
As to a Fanny Pak vs. SoReal Cru showdown…I would love to see it! Personally, as much as I like Fanny Pak's over-the-top creativity, I think I would be rooting for SoReal Cru. I think they actually do a better job of incorporating their ingenuity into the actual dance moves as opposed to the theatricality around the dancing. The judges love Fanny Pak, too, though, so that would be an interesting bottom two to have them consider.
The crews will be doing two routines, as mentioned, and the MTV Remote Contol blog also shared a scoop on the song mixes to be used for one of them. I don't see anything in here that would give any group an advantage, but I think the America's Best Dance Crew 2 audience is going to get a good show.
