Hello everyone! It was a lovely episode this week, even without the drama of finding a banner fall at the end of the show. Next week however we’re going to have the most cutthroat episode in ABDC history(if you don’t count those pesky regionals that happened just this season *cough cough*) in which two crews will be ousted from the competition in the same episode. But before we get to that there’s a hell of a lot of reviewing to do! As a reminder, Del is using a scale introduced to this site last season that was used by judges at Hip Hop International (although he took away and added to a few areas) so you will notice a few alterations) and I went ahead and added a “wow moment and tricks” section like many of the BABDC readers have this season as well. Here is Del's final scale that factors in creativity, showmanship, entertainment value, musicality, execution, difficulty, and the wow factor.
Based on that scale, the week's rankings are (from best to worst): Blueprint Cru (8.2), Hype 5-0 (7.6)
Poreotix (7.5), Static Noyze (7.4), Jungle Boogie (6.7), Saltare (6.2), Heavy Impact (6.1).
