But, maybe that's just my taste. I was very surprised that they didn't win since I thought it was obvious they were the best.

Regarding :Final Update: Kaba Modern was eliminated this week. Was the race card played? Yes. "In this case, I honestly don’t think ethnicity was EVER an issue, only statistics." "If there was a card played, it was the “COAST” card and not the Race card. I don’t think you could make a case that they didn’t want Asians in the finale because JABBA is made up of mostly Asians. It makes sense to have Status Quo (East Coast) vs Jabba (West Coast) for the finale because that’s where the Votes were coming from." Are you saying racism does not exist in America - or you can say it in a 'more positive' way, people have excessive pride in their own race/culture/demographics? In terms of dancing ability, Jabbawockeez and Kaba Modern should have made it to the finals. Note: This is a changing culture - asians are sparsely populated in North Central and South U.S. - If Status Quo was eliminated, there'd b an uproar amongst the African Americas. If Kaba was eliminated, there'd b an uproar amongst the Asians (which did happen). If Jabbawockeez was eliminated, hell would break loose for MTV/Viacom. They had to settle down on Jabbawockeez because they are a bit more well known - through Step It Up 2 and also for the fact that they have MIXED ethnicities - as in there's various cultures - not only Asian (1 African American + R.I.P Gary). So yeah. - it's been planned out... 2. Look at the mtv website: http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/dance_crew/crews.jhtml since day 1, the crews were placed in the order from winner-> loser - I won my bets =] - sadly though I wondered what they'd knock Kaba Modern for and what excuse they gave status quo to remain on stage. -> eventually the page will get shifted. "Mario Lopez said that Status Quo had a very slim lead, so the vote could have been SQ 35%, Jabba 33%, KM 32%." -------> sorry dude, it was already set up. 3. MK Modern and Mobility =]. Go Ags! (Davis student also) feel free to argue against me - email : dhmai2@yahoo.com 1. Regarding :Final Update: Kaba Modern was eliminated this week. Was the race card played?

Status Quo just got the most fan votes, even though they get out of sync pretty often and rely way to much on gymnastic tricks. That's just the way it goes. Hopefully, things will work out properly and Jabba will win next week. It’s been clear for a while that Jabba is the best dance crew and Kaba is the second best on the show.
