editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 13:50:11 GMT

Quest Crew killed it last night on America’s Best Dance Crew. I think last night was the toughest challenge by far for the crews. The objective for the first part of the challenge was that the crews must incorporate some of hip-hop's most difficult styles in the Hip-Hop Decathlon Challenge which included, threading, housing, cutting, krumping and waving. Also, the challenge was longer than usual.

After last weeks challenge Beat Freaks received the most votes and were safe from elimination which meant they were first to perform. After watching the episode a couple times I felt like they kind of played it safe and Lil Mama even said that this wasn’t their best performance. I guess that didn’t matter since they already made it to the finale. I thought their routine was tight and clean but nothing that would knock your socks off. I would give them a B-.
