When the boys in Poreotix aren't busy making each other laugh, they're busy making us laugh! Walk alongside Charles Nguyen, as he playfully teases everyone in their over-the-top Lady Gaga costumes. Personally, I think the Poreotix boys look like R2-D2's with bowties. Just sayin'.

During the first few weeks of ABDC, Saltare's smooth timing and huge acrobatics made them a fan favorite, but after last week's flub, a lot of you were pretty harsh on them. Luckily, the voting error meant they got a free pass. This week, they tried to make up for things with a mistake-free performance (it was their most well-rounded dance yet).

You Tell Us: Did Saltare's performance bump them back up? Let us know what ya think.

Walk less than a block down the street from where the ABDCrews rehearse and you'll probably rub elbows with A-listers en route to the Academy Awards. Since we're so close to the action, we interrupted Blueprint Cru and Static Noyze during practice to see who they thought should win an Oscar this Sunday.

See if you agree with their choices ...

Ever wonder what happens to all the clothes and shoes after the ABDC season's over? Well, they all go into storage until head stylist Kara Saun can find another way to use paint or rhinestones to repurpose them. Go on ... take a peek!

For those of you who think voting doesn't count, you now stand — or probably sit on a couch — corrected. After technical issues caused incorrect and unfair voting tabulations, ABDC show producers went another route last night and awarded the best crew with immunity from next week's double elimination. Hear Blueprint Cru's thankful words as they head for a little hot tub action!

Massive Monkees' Brysen Angeles was in town this week getting a little nostalgic backstage with the newest crop of dance crews. How fitting that his old opponent, Vogue Evolution's Dashaun Williams, reignited a Season 4 rivalry by challenging the B-boy to a battle! Check out the friendly dance-off below.

When ABDCrews take the stage, it's hard to miss their flamboyant costumes, but sometimes their makeup is easy to overlook — until this week, that is! We asked head makeup artist Angie Wells about what we can expect for the Gaga challenge.

"Lady Gaga is so big and her style is so outrageous, so [production] wanted her iconic looks copied,"  Wells told us. "[Static Noyze's] Peter's makeup took about an hour and a half to apply, which is more than twice the time it usually takes to do the women."

The beauty pro said that this is the type of show she lives for, because she gets to broadcast her skills. "These aren't masks, these are hand-painted pieces of art," she added.

Check out America's Best Dance Crew tomorrow night at 10/9c to see the crews showing off their glamorous mugs!

ABDC has been attracting some of the world's most famous athletes lately. Last week, the Pacman showed up, and last night, the reigning MLB home run king, Barry Bonds, attended the taping with his son and daughter. Between takes, Mario Lopez made sure to spend a few moments with the former baseball Giant. Here are some amazing highlights to look forward to seeing tomorrow night:

— Stripper poles galore!

— One judge tells a crew that they performed the best routine of the entire season! — Two of the judges kiss each other on stage!? — JC apologizes to one crew for a mistake he made last week. — Attack of the 10-foot woman! Make sure to watch America's Best Dance Crew tomorrow night at 10/9p to break down the clues.

While the ABDCrews should be having the time of their lives performing for millions of people on MTV each week, Hype 5-0 had other things on their mind. The recent 8.8 earthquake in South America sent tsunami-size waves crashing into the coast of Hawaii — Hype's homeland — and it's got the crew worried about their family's well-being.

Watch the video below to hear more about how Hype 5-0 have been affected.

During the first few weeks of ABDC, Heavy Impact won over the judges, and apparently, they've now won over America, too! The crew received enough votes to keep them out of the bottom last week.

Even though they've become a crowd favorite, Stephen Isi Tuifua told us he doesn't think viewers have had a chance to see what the crew has to offer: "This [Lady Gaga] challenge is allowing us to incorporate some contemporary moves as well as some jazz. We think America is going to be shocked when they see what we bring this week. A lot of climbing, swinging and energy — it's gonna be crazy."

Now what could these boys be climbing? Tune in Thursday night at 10/9c to find out!
