During a little down time from filming rehearsals this morning, we snooped around backstage and found some artist drawings of the costumes each crew will rock during their group numbers. Check 'em all out, then tell us whose gear looks the hottest!

All the Season Four crews trickled back into Cali this week to reconnect with each other and rehearse a special number for ABDC's live finale. The excitement revved up immediately after finding out that they'd be split into three different groups for a Judges Choice performance. Check out the lineup:

Shane Sparks' group - Beat Ya Feet Kings, Massive Monkees, Southern Movement
"I Do (Represent)" Lil Jon ft. Swizz Beatz & Snoop Dogg

Lil Mama's group - Artistry In Motion, Vogue Evolution, We Are Heroes
"Girls On The Dance Floor" Far East Movement

JC Chasez's group - AfroBorike, Fr3sh, Rhythm City
"Fire Burning" Sean Kingston

Vogue Evolution may not be dancing on the ABDC stage anymore, but that doesn't mean they're done spending time in front of the cameras. The popular-with-the-people crew (eliminated on Episode 5) swung by It's On with Alexa Chung yesterday to give fans a flashy reminder of why we heart them so hard. Check out their live performance and get a quick lesson in cat-walking with sass AND class!

Our other voice of the young people, TalkofFame.com's Albert Lawrence, got to hang with Vogue Evolution the day after they were eliminated from ABDC. Check out his interview with the gone-but-not-forgotten crew, as well as Albert's second (and somewhat dreadful) attempt at learning how to move to the music.

We think you get the gist by now. After each week's episode of ABDC, we clip out the crews' performances and post them on the blog. And this week's no different, folks. So take a look below at We Are Heroes, Rhythm City, Massive Monkees, AfroBorike and Vogue Evolution (R.I.P.) as they get their Dance Craze groove on, then comment on their smooth moves/clutzy missteps by clicking on the "Share" button at the bottom of the player. Happy Judgment Day!

What was running through the bottom two crews' minds before last night's do-or-die battle? Backstage correspondent Layla Kayleigh got Vogue Evolution and We Are Heroes to talk just before they rumbled on stage. Check it out!

After We Are Heroes clinched their spot on next week's ABDC, tonight's losing crew 'Vogued It Out' with heads held high in front of a hyped-up and supportive crowd. Backstage, there were only happy tears. Vogue Evolution took part in a televised revolution that showcased true talent among some of our country's best gay and transgender dancers! Listen to both WAH and VE rejoice in their accomplishments.

Just before last week's taping of ABDC kicked off, Team Millennia's Chantha Mao busted into the garage with atom bomb energy and made the rounds with the remaining crews. Check out our latest alumni guest blogger as she gives us a high-energy tour backstage:

Lil Mama's already stepped up and said she was sorry for coming down so hard on Leiomy last week. But what'd Leiomy's crew think about Mama's verbal jabs? Turns out, they had their girl's back all the way (hey, they're a team, after all!). Earlier this week, Vogue Evolution had a little fun at Mama's expense while rallying behind Leiomy (and her amazing Death Glare). Viva la Evolution!

Lil Mama's never had a problem speaking her mind on the ABDC panel. But last week, she might've spoken a little too freely when she chewed out Vogue Evolution's Leoimy for her un-ladylike behavior at rehearsal. And since Mama's not out to hurt anyone's feelings, she's issued a sincere apology to Leiomy -- and to all the members of the LGBT community -- in a statement released to GLAAD yesterday:

"I would like to clarify anything that was misunderstood from Sunday's show," Lil Mama wrote. "My remarks were never meant to be disrespectful regarding Leiomy's gender nor offensive to the LGBT community, which has been a community that has supported me in all my endeavors. However, in hindsight, I recognize that my words may have come across as hurtful. I spoke with her privately after the taping to express that it was not my intent to offend her or any member of the transgender community and that I still live for Vogue Evolution."

Thanks for clearing the air, Lil Mama! Now let's put all this drama behind us and focus on what's really important: the dancing! Only five crews left vying for the ABDC title ... and this week, things are about to get craze-y ...
