Chris Trondsen on what you DON'T see on TV: Crew reactions to Eliminations and on-line haters!

Here are some of Chris Trondsen's main points on what you see backstage at the America's Best Dance Crew tapings but isn't clear from just watching it on camera. Plus, here's the scoop on how Chris helped Gabourey Sidibe attend this week's taping in order to meet JC Chasez!   

As everyone knows by now, two crews went home this week.  What you won’t see on the show is how both crews deal with it. All of the crews have always been nice to us. I just want to put that out there, they just all deal with going home differently. Click here to read the details.

Another thing that you don’t really see on the show but we got from a lot of the crews is that the critiques from the blogs and the internet are really getting to them.  Crews are used to just dancing for fun and for the love of it, so it’s hard for them to deal with all the negative attention that they aren’t used to.

I know a lot of you have hit me up on Twitter and Facebook asking when we will get an interview with judge JC.  I tried this week.  I saw Gabourey Sidibe who plays “Precious” in the movie at the Spirit Awards last Friday before the Oscars.  She talked about how she loves JC and it’s the only NSync member she hasn’t met.  I told her about going to ABDC and how we do press on the show and she should show up to see him.  Well, her manager worked it out and she ended up coming to the set and getting to meet all the judges and Mario.  But before she got there, JC came to the press room to see if she had arrived.  Riquel from We Are Heroes and I tried to get an interview with him but him and his manager said no to interviews for everyone and left.  For some reason he doesn’t like talking to press like the other judges. So hopefully he changes his mind soon and we can ask him those questions you want to know.
