On tonight's episode of The Buried Life, our traveling all-stars scooted around Washington D.C., dead set on crossing off No. 95: 'Play basketball with Obama.' You'd think trying to play hoops with the Pres is an impractical goal, but that's the whole point -- doing the impossible is the reason Ben, Dave, Duncan and Jonnie started this project.

Unfortch, our dedicated dreamers weren't able to lure Obama out to the court (he's a pretty busy dude!), but they came so flippin' close. Hey, we were still impressed. And inspired! The episode really got us thinking ... If you had the opportunity to play ball with a famous person, who would you challenge? Take the poll!

Jump-rope crew Saltare have stayed out of the bottom by wowing the judges over with their precise movements and extreme athletic prowess. The last thing they wanted was to be thought of as a 'gimmick crew' on the ABDC stage.

"It makes us feel a lot better that [the judges] realize the difficulty of what we are doing and don't overlook the technicality of our ropes," Brittany Fortier told us. "Each week, we want to bring in more dance styles than just jumping, but we don't want to unleash everything right at the beginning."

Now that voting has started, does Saltare have America's support? Sound off in the comments and let us know how far you think this crew can go in the competition!

For the first few weeks of ABDC, it seemed like Swagger Crew were the obvious front-runner of the South -- but their early dismissal brought out back-to-back dominant performances by another southern crew, which makes us wonder: Is there a new king of the jungle?

Check out the video and sound off in the comments!

During the first four weeks of ABDC, it felt like we saw more of the crews' personal dance styles than in any other season. But change is comin'. The first true challenge heads our way this week, as the crews will have to emulate popular music videos from the past decade. Here's what's been thrown at them, in no particular order:

SALTARE - Metro Station "Shake It"
JUNGLE BOOGIE - Shakira ft. Lil Wayne "Give It Up To Me"
BLUEPRINT CRU - Omarion ft. Gucci Mane "I Get It In"
HYPE 5-0 - Britney Spears "3"
HEAVY IMPACT - Colby O'Donis "What You Got"
ROYAL FLUSH - Cascada "Evacuate The Dance Floor"
POREOTIX - Rihanna ft. Jay-Z "Umbrella"

Getting stuck between a mother-boyfriend fight is challenging, particularly if you're a pregnant teenager. On last week's premiere episode of 16 and Pregnant, we looked on as Jenelle struggled to create a new relationship between her mom Barbara and boyfriend Andrew, while she battled to repair her own connection with them. It was clear that Barbara was not on Team Andrew, but she had an even bigger bone to pick with her daughter.

After a few weeks of post-labor partying, Jenelle recognized the error of her ways and opted to stay home and take the responsible route. But even with her change in attitude, she and her mom had a tough time getting along. Was Jenelle partying too much to begin with, or was her mom just taking her own frustrations out on her daughter? Take the poll and tell us what you think!

We were so caught up in Snooki's newfound geekdom last week that we completely glossed over her new makeover (no, not this one). Thursday, Poughkeepsie's finest went to get her hair did and, according to Snooks, the salon locked up shop so no one but her private DJ (pictured above) could look on. (Wonder how mix master Pauly D feels about this?)

The salon's colorist swirled together some hues, brushed it on Snooki's mane, and pouf -- out came a new and improved (?) Shore babe. She calls it "Peekaboo blonde w black blue on top," we call it awesome! What do you say? Take the poll:

We haven't yet been formally introduced to 16 and Pregnant's Nikkole (you'll have to wait until Tuesday night for that), but be prepared for her mother and boyfriend Joshua to steal the show.

Below, watch an exclusive sneak peek of Nikkole's labor, where mom and Josh pick the absolute worst time to start fighting ... Delivering a baby is an incredibly painful and emotional experience, and instead of being comforted by her support group, she's stuck in the middle of a feud.

You might've caught a glimpse of some of the crew logos in our Dance Crew video blogs from this week, but during last night's show, Mr. Randy Jackson made them official by revealing all nine banners.

We broke the news on the injury that almost cost Static Noyze a chance to move forward. So we're happy to report that dancer Enrique Novales put the pain behind him -- for the sixty seconds he had to dance on stage, that is. Like a true team player, he sucked it up and helped his crew secure a spot in next week's ABDC competition.

We caught up with him post-show to find out how he was feeling. Check it:
