Bye Bye Boogie Bots.

In last week's episode, we saw the two strongest crews at the very bottom with "Supreme Soul" going home. For the judges, they were dumbfounded to the point of saying that America got it all wrong.

Lil Mama showed her displeasure that the Boogie Bots were not the group that was not in the bottom. She said that the crew did not excite her and with tonight's show, they did not prove her wrong.


Boogie Bots rusted out their welcome on the ABDC dance floor.

As for the situation with Lil Mama's response to what she said, she doesn't take any of it back. Before the taping of this episode, I was able to get a little comment from her:



PG: Last week was definitely a heavy week for elimination and you had some strong words about the Boogie Bots. Have you been able to relax and find your zen to concentrate on what the performances have in store for this week?
LM: I'm definitely going to concentrate on this week and we're definitely going to keep real and official with the crews. I'm not a strong believer in gossip or taking things out to be bigger than they are. When you're dealing with facts and emotions, no matter how it comes out it's always real. I mean I'm a loving person. I don't try to point out the negative aspects of anybody or anything anyone does. Tonight, I'll clear it up and keep it…

PG: Real.
LM: Definitely.

For a crew that was called out by a judge, one would of thought they would come back harder. Mama definitely didn't have to clear it up as the Bots did not prove her wrong.

This week's challenge was for each crew to take inspiration from the Missy Elliott song they were assigned.

Here's a quick recap of what the judges had to say including special guest Missy Elliott:


Boogie Bots let down Missy Elliott.

For The Boogie Bots performance:
JC Chasez: Floor foot work was nice. Choreography was a little off.

Shane Sparks: That was the worst. There wasn't anything that made me think you should be on this show. No Missy inspiration at all.

Lil Mama: I didn't get excited. Being cute can only go so far.

Missy Elliott: Nothing was tight. That was not good. If you were my dancers, I wouldn't be nice. You're not focused at all.


Fanny Pak and their Exorcist look.

Fanny Pak
Shane Sparks: Totally enveloped the whole concept. Created another show. Some "Exorcist" Stuff was a good job.

Lil Mama: Unforgettable . You gave us hip-hop, Egyptian, African, and Fanny Pak.

JC Chasez: This is a great number. Got missy throwing her hands around. Very diverse. you got freaky.

Missy Elliott: That was amazing. Very creative and made a new video.


So Real making it Real.

So Real
Shane Sparks: You had me from the intro. Knee knocker move was really sick. Moves were creative.

Lil Mama: Choreography on point.

JC Chasez: Top 3 next week. Not a lot of difficulty.

Missy Elliott: I enjoyed it. Got me into it. Youput yoru own twist into it.


Super Cr3w can build towers.

Super Cr3w
Lil Mama: What you got is choreography.

JC Chasez: An amazing performance. That was exciting, athletic, together and well done. Took the risk with the tower.

Shane Sparks: You got all the street dancers and break dancers at home standing up. Beautiful.

Missy Elliott: I loved the. You all are not just break dancers but choreographers. You made my video whack.
