Announcing the Elimination Challenge Contest!

We will run two contests during America's Best Dance Crew Season 5 which will extend from through the finale. Contest #1: The Elimination Challenge: Which crews will be in the bottom 2 each week? Who will be eliminated? Enter each week and the person with the highest cumulative score for Season 5 will win an ABDC crew shirt of their choice and size (up to $35 retail).

To enter: Each week, we'll publish a new post for this contest. When the weekly post is up, leave a comment with the name of the bottom 2, specifying which one is eliminated. For example, in Season 3, a winning entry for Week 7 would have read: "BOTTOM 2 WEEK 7 - Quest, Fly Khicks. Eliminated: Fly Khicks." Once the full season begins, you will be awarded 1 point for each crew you name in the bottom 2 that week, and an extra point for identifying the eliminated crew, for a total of 3 possible points per week. For the Eastern and Western audition shows, you'll be awarded one point for each of the crews you name that are eliminated, for a total of 2 possible points a week.

The contest is now open for The Eastern audition show and will close Midnight Monday February 1 (before the episode is taped). Vote for the two crews (DraZtik, Legendary 7 (clip shows a recent performance as SQ Entertainment), Static Noyze, Blueprint, Saltare) you think will go home. Yes, I know there isn't enough info yet. And, please write your vote only; no editorials or hating in the comments here! UPDATE: The week one contest is now over and no more entries will be counted.

In future weeks, entries will be accepted from Friday (after the episode airs and I put up a new post for the contest) until Midnight (Pacific Time) the Monday afterwards, so that nobody can use insider info from the Tuesday tapings. **IMPORTANT**:

  • Create a user name you will use every week for the entire contest, and make it memorable (not just a common first name or word). I can't track email addresses, and if it's difficult for me to track votes, they won't be counted.
  • MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE THE WORDS 'BOTTOM 2' in the comment (so I can search for them easily).
Only 1 entry per person per week, please.  Good luck!
