Preview from the Pressbox - Chris Trondsen on the VMA Challenge

Our reporter Chris Trondsen tells us what it was like at the taping of the VMA Challenge (including what you WON'T see!) and what you can look forward to.

"One thing you don’t see unless you attend a taping of ‘ABDC’ is that after the bottom two crews perform, the taping usually takes a 15 minute break to have the judges go off and make their final decision about who stays. This week was WAY different. The judges were off for a good 45 minutes -- maybe even longer -- to pick who was going to make it to the final 3. The decision was THAT tough.


You will see two of the judges go at it head to head arguing over which crew did better. They argued back and forth for 5 minutes until Mario finally stopped them and told them to take it to the back to decide which crew stays. The third judge made it obvious who they pick and you know that the decision on who stays was a 2 to 1 decision. When the saved crew is announced, the audience went wild and after that crew's performance, how could they not? It was one of the best and biggest all season long!"
