ELEKTROLYTES: ABDC'S PARKOUR GROUP



So, in the vein of American Ninja Warrior as seen in my previous post, I've also been keeping a close tab on America's Best Dance Crew (2nd season running watching this). First of all, a couple of thoughts: 1) It's way better than any of the so called "dance" shows out there. Primarily, it's all hip hop, which means that we aren't bored with old-styles of dancing that permeate a lot of these shows. Also, check a list of the theme weeks: Britney Spears-Flo Rida-Madonna-Drake-JLo-Pitbull-Rihanna-LMFAO-Katy Perry. Yeah, mind-numbing electropop dreck aside, isn't this the song list that Idol aspires to get? Won't it be hilarious to see a contestant cover "Club Can't Handle Me" or "Wide Awake" or "Get Right" by JLo? Contestants have handled the first before in these singing competitions, so don't think it's impossible.

AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR: PRELIMINARY STATS


So another show I've gotten myself into is American Ninja Warrior. I started watching three years ago, and it's another one of those shows (besides sports, and apparently Idol) where it's just easy to compile stats. I'm a parkour enthusiast and do a bit of outdoor training, so it's only natural that I'd watch this show as well.
