Recapathon :Week 5 summaries, critiques, and video-annotations

--LA Times has got the online media angle sussed, at least for coverage of America's Best Dance Crew. This week, they produce a summary of events, pithy review, and video interviews with illusionist Franz Harare (discussing his role on this week's show, how he got involved) and Fly Khicks and Dynamic Edition.
--You Love to Watch wants MTV to cut the tricks: "Alls I'm saying is that perhaps MTV needs to dig back into its bag of tricks and come up with something a little less...abstract. It's a dance show, after all. This isn't friggen' Sigfried and Roy or some other two-bit Vegas act."
--Reality Television was less than impressed with some of the magic.
--Mia from Ningin thought Quest and Beat Freaks dominated and was amazed that Fly Khicks "made their stretch like rubber challenge look like a lapdance from the movie Showgirls"
--Tiffani from Ningin thought that (with the exception of Beat Freaks), the magic got in the way of the cohesion and choreography
--Spoil the Ending has a crush on Quest's Feng, but worries that Quest hoopla is getting in the way of emotional connection and musicality
