Preview from the Pressbox - Chris Trondsen on ABDC5's Disco Challenge

I'm splitting Chris' report into 2 parts: Today he'll share some things to watch for on tonight's show. Tomorrow, his post will describe crew reactions to being sent home and to online criticism. 

When we went backstage at first to do interviews, everyone was in good spirits.  A lot of the crews were joking, laughing, and in a good relaxed mood.  But they were also nervous because of the fact that it was disco week.  I know a lot are much happier with next week’s challenge.

On this episode you will see one crew mess up, fire, afros, disco balls, a lit up dance floor, booty shorts, a crew member bench pressing another crew member, a female showing incredible strength, and mostly positive critiques from the judges.  

Tonight’s show is fun, and you will see some of the crews do things I didn’t know they had in them and the judges rewarding that with positive comments. Especially JC, who had been especially hard on one crew this season so far.  You see him give props to them finally.  You also see one crew do some B-Boy moves that they haven’t shown this season yet as well.
