Something is going wrong with my DVR. It has not been recording episodes of America’s Best Dance Crew, therefore ruining my life.
Luckily, MTV posts the episodes on their site and I finally watched it and was very pleased to see that Hawaiian crew Hype 5-0 pulled the gratuitous “two Asian girls kissing” trick out of their hat during their routine to 3 by Britney Spears.
I don’t know if this was a desperate attempt to stay on the show or if it was an attempt to bribe the judges (mainly Omarion) and the male viewing demographic with erection-worthy Asian fetish action.
My guess it’s a combination of both.
I guess sex sells even though this Britney-themed lip lock would’ve been really sexy if it were 2003. My suggestion to Hype 5-0 is to push the envelope a little bit more. Have two guys make out or maybe perhaps a hip-hop routine that mirrors the storyline of Equus – OR – they can even further exemplify the wonder of Asian culture, they should do a traditional Asian folk dance. Considering most of the members seem Filipino (I believe one of them is my cousin’s husband’s cousin), I would suggest they bust out some Tinikling. That is always a crowd pleaser.
Nonetheless, the parents of those two girls must be very proud.

I missed this episode but I have heard so much about it. I agree with the author's post,they should try to incorporate some traditional dance like the Tinikling and give it a modern touch.
