I can’t believe we’re down to the last episode before the finals. for all the excitement of yibo joining this season ( and my personal bias towards this show ), I feel like it went by too fast. So I just had to write down my favorite moments from tonight. It was excellent because, well, it was all battles. The heart & soul of this show will always be dance battles and how raw it is. Those moments really come across the screen especially to the audience, even if we’re not there physically.
SPOILERS AHEAD SO BEWARE. ❌
How can I make this without applauding the one & only - Sean. I swear. From Day 1, this kid got me. He did so well in all the survival battle rounds and I am so thankful for Poppin C cause he saved him to get through to the Finals. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
and I didn’t know they were familiar with each other, but since they both do popping, it makes sense. It’s so cuteee!
The part about them talking about their regrets and wishes was also cool cause it gave us an insight to their personal lives. I’m cackling at Zyko & Dykens writing down they wanna go to Disney Shanghai & Great Wall of China WITH HANGENG. It was a good move cause obvs, the good host that he is couldn’t possibly say no. I hope they all get to go on that trip. Lucas was again super cute talking about how his mom would comment on posts about him @ SDC. He clearly just wants his mom to be proud of him. 🥺
The past seasons had great personalities that you can’t help but love and at the beginning I thought SDC5 will not deliver. I was wrong. The combination of well known dancers and new generation brought out people that I grew attached to. I’m sad Yuki & Doudou were eliminated but they have a bright future ahead. ☀️
THE INITIAL BATTLES for a save. Zyko. That’s all. I don’t care and do not remember anything else but Zyko battling. How can someone be so creative and work well his team + be a beast in battles all at the same time? I am convinced he is some kind of a genius. I’be said it before but I’m happy that he came back.
( i mean look at that. and he owned the battles. completely. )
Tho my favorite part would have to be the 2nd round of “save” care of the Masters. All these amazing dancers? We had all of them last season? I can’t! This is why some people can’t help but compare S4 and S5 this line up reminded how amazing last season was. and the fact that yibo danced a lot.
AND OMG ROCHKA. I forgot how fun it is to watch him dance / battle! Look at the reactions of the dancers and you’ll know he’s got that vibe in him. Observe Kyoka, homegirl is feelin the moves!
AND FINALLY, the collab I didn’t know I needed was AC & SIWEN! Miss prim and proper with the Chaos that is AC. The performance was fun and sexy! Yibo definitely liked it — he said his thoughts about Siwen’s progress. It’s actually one of the things I like about Bobo as a mentor. You don’t have to the absolute best. You don’t have beat yourself up every day that you don’t get the number 1. You just have to be better than who you were yesterday. Progress is the most important.
I also felt for Siwen when she pretty much said she’s a loner and doesn’t get along with people. but joining SDC 5 changed that. It’s moments like this that make me think that humans aren’t trash. gives me hope. Lol.
AND UH— I definitely caught this moment. Bouboo whispering to Yibo like a schoolboy after Siwen’s performance. HAHAHAHA! and Yibo being the supportive friend. I remember that episode ( hotpot ) where Yibo was lowkey teasing him about Siwen. I can’t blame Bouboo, she is gorgeous!
THAT IS ALL. It was so much fun! I’m feeling the separation anxiety now but I gotta prep for the Finale. We know how exhausting that is. Looking forward to 10/29 🤍🤍🤍
P.S. Thank you to this season for giving us Shipper! Wang Yibo.
SDC5 spoilers. Please, can you help me find the name of the song DD and AC are waacking to? I know I should know, I know I've seen it mentioned somewhere, but I've just spent a looong time searching and failed miserably. Help? Thank you.
Hi, Anon! As a big Zhou Shen fan I can totally help you out with this question.
Anon is talking about this segment from SDOC5, where AC and DD are waacking to the song.
youtube
The song is called Dalabengba, and it's a humorous viral song that features 5 different voices singing absurdly long, complicated tongue-twister names that have no meaning beyond the humor it brings. It tells the story of a warrior who sets out to rescue a princess from a dragon. The voices are the narrator, the warrior, the princess, the king, and the dragon.
I think it was initially sung by a computer AI sim, but there have been times where two or more singers have performed it live. The amazing, brilliant, ridiculously talented Zhou Shen actually successfully performed the song solo, beautifully and convincingly creating all 5 voices.
Is your health better now? Have you noticed BOBo has the habit of touching his bone pendent like auto reflex.i saw him search for his pockets always when so much crowd and camaras around him in airports(he used to search for pockets even it's not there in some of his attairs😂)
Have you seen this clip from SDC5 that he automatically searched for the pendent as a auto reflex to feel safe when he is scared! twitter dot com/wujisgay/status/1563516988898820097?t=C7NYBWZQmRsfV-3E51_hlA&s=19 .The bone pendent is so so dear for him! Aww.also No one gonna believe that he read that Himalaya ghost stories for hours ever

Street Dance Spoilers. The way puppy plays with his bone after getting startled 😭
Hi Anons!
I am beginning to feel a lot better, thanks for asking. 💛
This is the clip they're talking about. I have to admit, my reaction was a lot like Anon 2's reaction. Sweet boy. 🥺
Sentimental things... hmm...
I'm actually a pretty sentimental person, so I have a lot of little mementos (a ring my mother always wore, feathers from my beloved bird who passed away last year, a memento of my father, a soft little willow catkin from the funeral bouquet of a close friend).
Even things not so heavily loaded with significance generally hold a lot of meaning for me. I have a bit of a 'Marie Kondo' view toward items. I don't tend to obtain or hang onto items that I don't feel a personal connection to.
But in terms of items that I turn to when I need comfort, that type of sentimental/comforting item, I have a plushie that I like to hold. I actually can't get to sleep without it.
It's not something most people around me would ever imagine of me, not something I would ever tell anyone IRL. Only those very closest to me have any idea. It's a bit embarrassing.
But I've always been like that, ever since I was very little. I've always had a plushie that was my comfort item. They've changed from time to time over the years (usually when someone decided that the tattered, falling apart grey blob needed replacing 😅), but there is always one in service somewhere nearby. And it's always just one. When I get a new one the old one is retired (and yes, I keep the old ones - there are only a few).
It's one of the things I appreciated most about GG in my early days of learning more about him. The fact that he is unashamed to be seen in public with plushies, that he carries them around so lovingly and shows them off on social media. It made me feel a lot less embarrassed about my plushies to see another guy who is totally fine and casual about it. 😅
