Ninjaboi's review & ratings of ABDC5's Southern audition show

Reader Ninjaboi reviewed America's Best Dance Crew 5, Week 1 - The Southern auditions. He created a 30-point scale to analyze each of the crews:

• "Intricacy/Choreo/Togetherness (Kaba would get a 10 here) - isolations, tutting, etc
• Wow/Tricks (Massive Monkees would be the best here) - mostly athletic moves
• Showmanship (Quest and Jabbawockeez would be the best here) - how well they use stage, showcase members, the energy, and such"

Based on this scale, his ranking for the routines (before the battle):  Swagger 24, Jungle Boogies 22, Royal Flush 22, Ghost 20,  X-treme Motion 17. Ninjaboi's review also discusses crew personalities (based on interviews), power rankings, recommendations to improve performances, and comments about the judges.
