Where's the love?

For all you pop culture junkies, this post is for you.

I am addicted to "America's Best Dance Crew," but after last weeks episode, I'm not so sure I have faith in the competition anymore. I was highly dissapointed, to say the least, with last week's elimination. Explain to me how Status Quo made it into the finals and Kaba Modern didn't? As frustrated as I was with that - what bothered me more was the fact that the last group with girls in it failed to make it to the season's finale. So why does this bother me?

The judges commented and congratulated the team on several occasions for being the last group with 3 standing females in the competition. The more I thought about it, it made me realize that's pretty significant considering all the other girl groups were eliminated. This is what gets me - the competition is once again male dominated BUT what pisses me off more is that the group who made it in didn't even deserve it! I don't think 'booing' is a sign of success, which is exactly what happened when Status Quo was the first to be told they made it to the finale. GIRLS - where's the love? This was a great opportunity for women everywhere to be proud and support the accomplishment of these 3 girls in the competition and yet, somehow America (at the very last minute) decided the less qualified group was better. For all your fellow addicts, I don't think I need to remind you that Kaba has never been in the bottom two (right? lol)... doesn't that say something?? Status Quo is entertaining to watch, but after seeing them duke it out with Jabbawockeez for the title, they got NOTHING on them. There is no finale because we all know who's going to win based off of that performance. WHAT KIND OF COMPETITION IS THAT? It was all tease, at least that's how I feel. You lead the group up just to take them down. I'm not saying this has anything to do with the sexes in the group - but it just doesn't make any sense to me that a group that has never dissapointed managed to get kicked off before the finale. I can't help but feel what a realistic perpsective this is of the American society - it's like they were saying "Yeah, it's time we gave women a shot .... mm, actually no it's not." Sorry Hillary, I don't think it's your time yet...

If it came down to Kaba and Jabba - perhaps there would be a little more excitement and suspense...right now, I'm just looking forward to the next season.

(note: Status Quo - bottom two x's 3)
