Man, I would be so much more excited about tonight's showdown on America's Best Dance Crew if Fanny Pak were still in the competition. I admit I was somewhat of an erratic viewer of ABDC this Summer, but week in and week out, the thing that kept me coming back (or at least watching the old episodes I'd TiVo'd) was the Pak. And yet somehow, my favorite crew headed home last week, a combination of viewer votes and tough judging. Sigh.
Still, I'm trying to get myself pumped up for tonight's final battle between SoReal Cru and Super Cr3w (the winner will be revealed next week). On paper, this would seem like SoReal's competition to lose: They've never once appeared in the bottom two, even though the judges haven't always been on their side. But I like Super Cr3w, a group of b-boys who've shown their versatility. And I'm glad that being down to two crews — and getting rid of the insanely long pauses before eliminations — will mean a lot more dancing in this showdown.
Anyone else still watching this Teen Choice Award-winning show? Fellow Fanny Pak fans, how are you coping? And did any of this season's crews hold a candle to the JabbaWockeeZ? To watch routines from both remaining crews (warning: the videos play automatically, so be prepared!), just read more.

I'm SO bummed that Fanny Pak didn't make it...I don't even know if I'll watch now.
1I'm glad someone agrees with me that letting FannyPak go was a mistake. I found them the most enjoyable to watch although my bf says it's because they are little more theatrical than Supercr3w and So Real Cru and that's probably why they got eliminated. Anyways the only time I watch it is ondemand so I'm a little behind, but I am interested in who will win.
I honestly don't think either group can hold a candle to the JabbaWockeeZ, they were unbelieveable. I don't think it was fair that they couldn't hold on to their title for at least a year before giving it up, although they will always be the best to me.
2I have gotten hooked on this show and was shocked that so real cru wasn't in the bottom two last week. They can dance like SuperCr3w and can be creative like FannyPak but they aren't up to the level of either crew. It is like high school voting... the best doesn't necessarily win. I think it is also akin to MLB All Star voting with some of the questionable folks making the teams in the last few years.
3Buzz, I am totally in your camp, here. The judges were fools to let Fanny Pak go. They were the only crew this season to get a standing ovation from the judges, and I thought that merit combined with their incredible creativity and stage presence would be enough for the judges to save them over Super Cr3w. I was upset enough when Super Cr3w was saved over the Bay Area's own Supreme Soul, a group of dancers that I thought were much better choreographers, much better at showcasing each member's talents and, overall, much more interesting to watch. You can only imagine how upset I was when the Fanny Pak had to walk it out. They were the only group that was even close to the skill and creativity of the JabbaWockeeZ.
But we also have to remember that last year it ended up being a competition between a crew that deserved to win and the crew that should have gone home 3rd place, just like this year. Last year's final 2 should have been the JabbaWockeeZ and Kaba Modern, but KM got boosted for the less consistent but still really cool to watch Status Quo from Boston. And I think that's happened again. They've sacrificed a crew that has true talent and innovation on the dance floor for someone more athletic in the finals.
So I guess I'm rooting for SoRealCru. They're kinda like Kaba Modern, only not as good.
4I was definitely a Fanny Pak fan as well, but now I am cheering for Super Cr3w!!!
5i'm actually surprised that i haven't caught any episodes this season!! i guess i tuned in to cheer on my jabbawockeez and kabba modern crews last season
6Same here reesie. I was excited for ABDC to start up again, but I've only watched a few episodes. After Jabbawockeez, everything else is a disappointment.
