JC Chasez on Why Fanny Pak Lost
The LA Times recaps the 80s challenge, with analysis, opinion, and exclusive videos of Fanny Pak, Lil Mama, Shane Sparks, and Super Cr3w. But the Must Watch Video in the article is a clip of J.C. Chasez explaining why Fanny Pak lost. "The problem was that we had to judge between two performances, not just one...it might have been the material that Fanny Pak was given...Lean on Me was a bit of a slow starter...that might have been the one thing that held them back a little. And that's not even their own fault. I just don't think they had the material to work with."Photo Credit: MTV
Rancor and recaps for the ABDC 80s Challenge
The America's Best Dance Crew recappers are NOT HAPPY.- Andyadontstop's voting conspiracy theory was blown out of the water, and he's both happy and sad about it
- LeBron is SHOCKED that Fanny Pak was eliminated and makes his predictions
- Deegah is so bummed out that she didn't really write a recap. We share your pain!
- Zap2It experienced "shock and aw" but not enough to stop them from presenting a thorough play-by-play
- Buddy TV thinks the elimination is bogus.
- Blend TV reminisces about the 1980s and declares that the judges got it wrong.
Send some Love for Fanny Pak
We're as shocked as everyone else at Fanny Pak's elimination. They showed humor and originality throughout the season -- defying gravity in Week1, rocking the prom in the Speed Up Challenge, and going Exorcist in Get Ur Freak Out. They used props and themes better than anyone else, and pushed the art with wicked hard moves. Hope to see more Fanny Pak soon!
