  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: Oh hello.

  • Welcome to Dance Showdown.

  • This year we have 12 YouTubers and four amazing dancers that

  • are hopefully going to change these YouTubers into dancers

  • and a chance to win up to $100,000.

  • $100,000.

  • And not only do they have to impress you guys at home but

  • now they have to impress our judges.

  • Former member of 'NSYNC, Joey Fatone, celebrity

  • choreographer, Laurieann Gibson.

  • With internet sensations, Dave Days, Shane

  • Dawson, and Ryan Higa.

  • Let the games begin.

  • ONLYUSEmeBLADE.

  • BRIAN: I think my channel is popular because people are

  • interested in the knife-only aspect of

  • playing Call of Duty.

  • But then once they're there they realize that I'm just

  • more of a chill, relaxed guy.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: StilaBabe09.

  • MEREDITH: I make beauty videos and fashion videos and tips

  • and tricks for young girls on how to feel confident

  • in their own skin.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: Alphacat.

  • IMAN: Most known for my impression of the president,

  • Barack Obama, and aside from that, musical parodies.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: Meghanrosette.

  • MEGHAN: I gravitated towards making beauty videos because

  • I've been a shopaholic since I was probably three.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: Hey-o.

  • What's up y'all?

  • You guys want to take a look at who you guys

  • got paired up with?

  • BRINN NICOLE: Hell yes.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Sure.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: All right.

  • Cool.

  • So let's get you guys a seat.

  • Lauren, you got paired up with Alphacat.

  • So let's take a look and see what kind of

  • dance skills he has.

  • [MUSIC - MAROON 5, "MOVES LIKE JAGGER"]

  • [INAUDIBLE]

  • ANZE SKRUBE: He's funky.

  • He's funky.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: Oh my gosh.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: He's got the Men in Black" outfit.

  • Oh snap.

  • OK.

  • So this guy looks like he can dance.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: Oh my goodness.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: What do you think?

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: This is going to be freaking awesome.

  • I am so lucky.

  • I don't know how or where this guy came from.

  • He has to have been a dancer in a past

  • life, if not this life.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: All right.

  • Mike, you've got Stilababe09.

  • Let's take a look and see what kind of dance

  • skills she has, yeah?

  • BRINN NICOLE: Aw.

  • She's cute.

  • Hey.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: She's got a little groove to her.

  • MIKE SONG: Totally.

  • [MUSIC - JENNIFER LOPEZ, "ON THE FLOOR"]

  • ANZE SKRUBE: She can definitely act.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: OK.

  • She's definitely a cute girl.

  • How do you feel like you guys will do?

  • MIKE SONG: I think we can do really well.

  • She's got personality as she's miming out all her lyrics.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: Cool.

  • Cool.

  • Well good luck to you guys, yeah?

  • MIKE SONG: Thanks.

  • So Stilababe09 seems like total teenage girl that dances

  • with her girlfriends in the room at a slumber

  • party type of deal.

  • So based off of that I'm excited to work with that

  • energy and multiply it.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: Our next dancer.

  • Brinn, you got ONLYUSEmeBLADE.

  • Let's take a look and see what your partner can do.

  • Oh yeah.

  • Oh yeah, Brinn, get into that.

  • He's actually following the choreography.

  • Not bad.

  • He's doing the game.

  • BRINN NICOLE: [INAUDIBLE].

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: Oh and we got the hands.

  • OK.

  • OK.

  • All right.

  • What do you think, Brinn?

  • BRINN NICOLE: I'm excited.

  • I think it'll be a nice little challenge.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: Yes.

  • Awesome.

  • BRINN NICOLE: So D-Trix tells me that I have ONLYUSEmeBLADE

  • and of course I knew it.

  • My intuition was so strong.

  • I knew I was going to get a gamer.

  • And gamers have strong, supporting subscribers.

  • So I'm excited that I might have the underdog.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: All right.

  • Last but not least, Anze.

  • You got teamed up with meghanrosette.

  • So let's see what she can do.

  • [MUSIC - NELLY FURTADO, "MANEATER"]

  • ANZE SKRUBE: She can move her hips a lot.

  • Yeah.

  • Pretty good.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: OK.

  • OK.

  • All right.

  • Now how do you feel?

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Pretty good.

  • I think it's definitely going to be a

  • challenge for me as well.

  • I think I will be able to bring the most from Meghan.

  • So the other teams, you guys better watch out.

  • We're coming for you.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: Are you guys ready to win that or what?

  • Let's bring it in.

  • Season two on the count of three.

  • One, two, three.

  • Season two.

  • Whoo.

  • Stay tuned, y'all.

  • Yeah.

  • It's about to go down.

  • Dance Showdown season two.

  • Subscribe.

  • Get my moonwalk.

  • Get my moonwalk.

  • BRIAN: Hello.

  • BRINN NICOLE: Only, only, ONLYUSEmeBLADE.

  • BRIAN: Hi.

  • How you doing?

  • BRINN NICOLE: I'm good.

  • How are you?

  • Hug.

  • Nice to meet you.

  • BRIAN: Very nice to meet you.

  • BRIAN: Things that no one on YouTube would know.

  • BRIAN: I'm actually a closet dancer when I'm drunk.

  • I could do this little move where I'm like this and then

  • bring it back up.

  • BRINN NICOLE: Hey.

  • He made me stand up and I was like, oh my god, I'm involved.

  • And then he did it.

  • It was really cute that he just did it on the spot and

  • didn't shut down.

  • After I saw that you were a gamer, I thought it might be

  • really cute if maybe I was a sexy cop

  • and you were a robber.

  • And we're both trying to kill each other.

  • It's like he's always playing the game but this

  • time he's in the game.

  • What if after this show you could not only become a

  • stronger dancer but--

  • BRIAN: Like slim it up?

  • BRINN NICOLE: All of a sudden it's like an extreme makeover.

  • BRIAN: Yeah.

  • BRINN NICOLE: That'd be cool.

  • BRIAN: That's one of the goals of this.

  • BRINN NICOLE: Really?

  • BRIAN: That's one of the goals of it.

  • BRINN NICOLE: OK.

  • Good to know.

  • So I come from here.

  • I'm in front of you, dancing.

  • Don't get too excited.

  • BRIAN: I think me and her have good chemistry.

  • There's no sexual chemistry but it's

  • like teamwork chemistry.

  • I feel like I'm in a science project and her and I both

  • want to get an A.

  • BRINN NICOLE: Seven, eight.

  • Boom.

  • From the top.

  • Five, six, seven, eight.

  • BRIAN: I can't even do it.

  • It's like her upper body moves [MAKES WHOOSING SOUND]

  • like that so quickly.

  • I just need to work on it.

  • MIKE SONG: Hey.

  • MEREDITH: Hey.

  • MIKE SONG: Hello.

  • MEREDITH: I'm Meredith.

  • MIKE SONG: Mike.

  • MEREDITH: Nice to meet you, Mike.

  • MIKE SONG: Nice to meet you.

  • Do you have any dance experience?

  • MEREDITH: I do.

  • I did cheer for three and 1/2 years, competitive

  • cheerleading.

  • MIKE SONG: That's awesome.

  • MEREDITH: Thanks.

  • Mike is really funny.

  • And he's really just easy to talk to.

  • Have you seen moving like Bernie on YouTube?

  • MIKE SONG: Yes.

  • MEREDITH: I'm obsessed with it.

  • MIKE SONG: OK.

  • Oh my god.

  • The Concept of this routine, I was thinking

  • high school prom themed.

  • And we're going to be the two awkward ones at the dance.

  • MEREDITH: Sounds good.

  • The routine is perfect for my age because this is the time

  • in high school when we're going to high school dances

  • and we're learning how to dance with each other

  • and just have fun.

  • MIKE SONG: And five, six, seven.

  • IMAN: Oh snap.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: Hi.

  • IMAN: What's up?

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: Hey.

  • IMAN: Yes.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: So nice to meet you.

  • IMAN: You too.

  • I was actually kind of hoping it was her.

  • I was a big fan of hers when she was on "So You Think You

  • Can Dance." And she's so awesome.

  • What do you want with it?

  • I'm excited I have you.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: Oh my gosh.

  • You're adorable.

  • He walks in and Alphacat starts dancing.

  • That made me so happy.

  • I just feel like I won the lottery.

  • This is what I was thinking about the dance.

  • You have your Obama impersonation.

  • So Obama, he wears suits.

  • He's a sophisticated, classy guy.

  • So I think we're going to give like a little

  • sophisticated routine.

  • Suit, Obama, snobby socialites.

  • I mean, it all makes sense, right?

  • IMAN: OK.

  • I thought I was going to be the excited one.

  • And I was but then she's running around the room

  • because she's excited I knew how to dance.

  • And I was like, this is perfect.

  • So we're both excited.

  • Let's knock it out.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: Five.

  • On six, your hand goes up my leg.

  • I shaved.

  • Don't worry.

  • Your hand goes six, seven.

  • IMAN: But I'm not doing this.

  • I'm going up, right?

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: Yeah.

  • OK.

  • You're the girl for a second.

  • IMAN: I didn't shave.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: It's always so much fun, especially as a

  • teacher, to have a student who is excited to learn.

  • Because it reminds you why you love teaching

  • in the first place.

  • The fact that he's excited about dancing makes me really

  • excited about teaching him the dance.

  • And out, to the leg.

  • Seven, eight.

  • Oh my freaking gosh, yes.

  • Perfect.

  • Don't give me that grimace.

  • You did perfect.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Hey.

  • MEGHAN: Hi.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: How are you doing?

  • MEGHAN: I'm good.

  • How are you?

  • I'm Meghan.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: I'm Anze.

  • MEGHAN: Nice to meet you.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Pleasure to meet you.

  • MEGHAN: Anze is definitely a really good dancer

  • from what I can tell.

  • But he's a boy and I'm like five years old.

  • And I get awkward.

  • And boys have cooties.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: What kind of music do you listen to?

  • MEGHAN: I listen to everything.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Do you like old school music?

  • MEGHAN: Yeah.

  • I love old school stuff

  • ANZE SKRUBE: I have this really cool routine for you.

  • And it's actually a '70s routine.

  • So we'll try to capture '70s feel.

  • MEGHAN: OK.

  • Cool.

  • Honestly, Anze's not my type.

  • If I was attracted to him, it would not perform at all.

  • I would be so much more awkward and feel uncomfortable

  • and be like, I don't want to dance.

  • Oh my god, no.

  • So I'm happy that we can be buddies.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: We'll have a lot of work to do.

  • Hope you're ready.

  • MEGHAN: I can do it.

  • I'm ready.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Are you?

  • MEGHAN: I think so.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Here we go.

  • You're just going to press your heel down a couple times

  • and try to use your hips.

  • We are starting with the choreography and Meghan seems

  • pretty nervous.

  • And just start to lose everything.

  • Yeah.

  • And don't think about the up, down moves.

  • So try to be just a little more funkier and

  • a little more relaxed.

  • Yeah, that's better.

  • MEGHAN: I definitely think our routine is a little funky.

  • It looked initially way easier than it actually was.

  • So when he was doing it I was like, I wish we

  • had something harder.

  • But now I'm doing it, I'm like oh no, I'm really glad.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: That was really good actually.

  • Now try to dance three times bigger than

  • you feel right now.

  • MEGHAN: I did musical theater.

  • I can do big.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Six, seven, eight.

  • MEGHAN: With a crisp, sharp movement that's really cool

  • that is just super in sync, and I think it's going to look

  • awesome when we have it all perfect.

  • BRINN NICOLE: Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill, five, six,

  • seven, look.

  • BRIAN: During the routine I'm a bank robber.

  • For whatever reason it popped in my head, it reminded of me

  • when I was little kid.

  • When I used to sneak down the stairs on my tiptoes and make

  • chocolate milk with the spoon.

  • But not to clink the side of the glass while

  • I'm stirring it.

  • And just kind of a little ninja move.

  • Drink my chocolate milk.

  • Go back to sleep.

  • BRINN NICOLE: You're going to be here.

  • So I'm going to be-- you're sweaty.

  • BRIAN: It's not sweat, it's passion.

  • This isn't sweat.

  • This is actually passion.

  • Obviously I'm a bigger guy.

  • I'm looking forward to the future when I'm in the finals,

  • and I won't be sweating as much and I'll be slimmer.

  • BRINN NICOLE: I don't care when someone

  • gets sweaty like that.

  • But again it's because he's not used to this.

  • BRIAN: I feel 200% better than when I first walked in.

  • I'm going to win this thing.

  • It's not even a question.

  • BRINN NICOLE: Good.

  • Good.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: You just want to do a couple hip pumps.

  • MEGHAN: OK.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: So you want to go, one two, three.

  • Face this way.

  • I started with a little hip roll which was a little weird

  • and a little awkward for Meghan.

  • MEGHAN: My parents are going to have a field day.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Try to match.

  • Yeah.

  • One and two and three.

  • MEGHAN: I'm a little nervous about the whole pelvic thrust.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: One, two, three.

  • MEGHAN: I'm 19 and I'm going to get up on

  • stage and pelvic thrusting.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: It's five, six, seven, eight.

  • You like that, don't you?

  • MEGHAN: I think it's so sexual.

  • And he's like, oh it's not sexual.

  • But he's like, it's not sexual with his accent

  • and all that stuff.

  • And he's foreign, and we're doing hip thrusts.

  • And my parents are going to watch this.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Here.

  • Here.

  • MEGHAN: Oh my god.

  • This is like the most sexual dance ever.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Is it?

  • MEGHAN: My parents are going to watch this.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: We didn't even get to the sexual part.

  • MEGHAN: Oh.

  • Don't say that.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: No.

  • I'm just kidding.

  • I'm sorry, Meghan.

  • I know it had to be a little awkward for you, but it worked

  • out well at the end.

  • Everything you do, just try to have a little

  • more feeling, swag.

  • MEGHAN: I got a lot of swagger.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Oh.

  • Well you know what?

  • I'll bring you some more swag.

  • MEGHAN: While we were dancing, Anze gave me this shirt that

  • said Swag on it because he told me I need to channel my

  • inner swag.

  • So putting the shirt on-- granted it was more like a

  • dress on me--

  • I felt a little more confident.

  • I felt like I had a little more swag.

  • I have to pick myself up one of those swag shirts.

  • I've never been a dancer but I want to gain you the

  • confidence knowing that I can do something that's totally

  • out of my comfort level.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: Yeah.

  • Good job.

  • She's funky.

  • That's her personality.

  • She just doesn't dance funky yet.

  • But I'll make her funky.

  • I'll make her dance funky plus be her.

  • So that's a winner combination.

  • MIKE SONG: Boom.

  • Boom.

  • Boom.

  • Boom.

  • MEREDITH: Our routine is amazing.

  • To walk away with almost $100,000 would just be crazy.

  • That just blows my mind.

  • MIKE SONG: Twist.

  • Boom.

  • Boom.

  • Step.

  • Touch.

  • My calmness level of winning this competition is a lot

  • higher now.

  • A, she's disciplined.

  • B, she has some level of dance experience.

  • And C, she just has to play herself.

  • I feel like she's like the undercover

  • warrior of the show.

  • Yeah.

  • Good job.

  • MEREDITH: Nice.

  • That was good.

  • MIKE SONG: This is like a solid

  • section that we've completed.

  • MEREDITH: Yeah.

  • I know.

  • I feel good about it.

  • MIKE SONG: You were doing awesome--

  • MEREDITH: Thank you.

  • MIKE SONG: --Like super, duper awesome.

  • MEREDITH: You're a good teacher.

  • MIKE SONG: Well thank you very much.

  • Meredith is like my little Pokemon right now.

  • But I want to give her all this energy.

  • So come performance time, she's going to be this crazy,

  • fire breathing dragon.

  • MEREDITH: I do think we have a real shot at winning.

  • I am very competitive, and I have a lot of energy.

  • So hopefully that will really shine through in the routine

  • and the judges will see that.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: My leg's going to come--

  • IMAN: Five, six seven, eight.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: Exactly.

  • Oh my god.

  • We're professionals.

  • We're freaking professionals.

  • Exactly.

  • OK.

  • Let's go from the top.

  • Let's go from the top.

  • IMAN: I already feel great about the routine.

  • We're able to move quick and get it down.

  • It's just been a lot of fun so far.

  • I'm on cloud nine right now.

  • I'm ready to go.

  • [MUSIC PLAYING]

  • IMAN: I used to dance.

  • And it's so far in the background.

  • I'm a little rusty.

  • It'd be neat for myself to see if I still have it.

  • I could still kind of prove that I can

  • step up and show out.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: That was it.

  • Oh yeah.

  • I am so excited about this partnership.

  • The other people should just go home because I really think

  • we have this.

  • Just think about ways that you can make this yours and make

  • like this relate to your life somehow, I'm just so excited

  • you're working with me.

  • IMAN: Me too.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: This is going to be so great.

  • I don't even care that you're sweaty.

  • I just don't care.

  • IMAN: Sweaty hug.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: I don't care.

  • I'm just so happy.

  • Thank you so much.

  • IMAN: Me too.

  • Me too seriously.

  • LAUREN FRODERMAN: Get ready to kick some major butt.

  • IMAN: I will.

  • I will.

  • FEMALE SPEAKER: The most difficult thing right now is

  • just trying to move my body.

  • LAURIEANN GIBSON: Where was the dance?

  • I mean she was cute--

  • JOEY FATONE: She was cute.

  • She was good.

  • But I just wanted more.

  • BRINN NICOLE: Are you comfortable with it though?

  • MALE SPEAKER: I'm not comfortable ever, with

  • anything dance.

  • MALE SPEAKER 2: I was uncomfortable

  • but in a good way.

  • ANZE SKRUBE: But the most important part is,

  • stay with the music.

  • LAURIEANN GIBSON: Now, I'm conflicted.

  • This might be my favorite routine.

  • MALE SPEAKER 3: I'm definitely challenging myself because

  • I've never took choreography.

  • Oh my god.

  • I need to sit down.

  • I'm going to throw up.

  • DOMINIC SANDOVAL: And it only gets better

  • here on Dance Showdown.
