Quick notes from the press tent: Nancy at the ABDC Finale Taping

I will post more on Saturday when I get home from Los Angeles. In the meantime, here's a few observations from tonight's taping of the America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 Finale:

• Security was EXTREMELY tight, possibly because the post-show interviews were held on the Warner Bros Lot and not on the ABDC stage. Everyone who brought a camera had to drive to a special gate to have their equipment inspected and checked for explosives. Really.
• Watching the show in the press tent is like watching a a fraternity, minus the beer. Similar camaraderie, very funny comments, similar scruffy outfits (especially compared to the girls behind Mario)
• Favorite moment during the taping: almost everyone in the press tent recited in unison "tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik" along with the tape of JC's quote.
• There was real disagreement on who should win, though people were not surprised at the result
• I also learned that there was less than 1% difference in the vote counts between Poreotix and Blueprint, and that most of the votes were cast online (not by phone or text)
• Chris and Glenda have a WONDERFUL relationships with the crews, so we have interviews with almost all of them. I'll post them as they become available.
