'America's Best Dance Crew' Finale Q&As

In the electrifying live season finale of MTV's 'America's Best Dance Crew,' with over 38 million votes counted, West Coast JabbaWockeeZ beat out East Coast competitors Status Quo. We got all of the JabbaWockeeZ dancers and the show's three judges to dish about cool moves, the $100,000 prize money and what to expect next season. --Maggie Furlong

<b>What's next?</b> This show has definitely given us a big boost -- we've been getting a lot of offers for different endorsements and possible tours. We want to try to establish an empire -- JabbaWockeeZ.com, JabbaTV.com, our merchandise. We just want to take on the world! <b>What's the one thing you can't wait to buy with your prize money?</b> Honestly? I'm just trying to get out of debt [laughs] -- and save up for a future. You know, I'm not about being flashy, but at the same time, I would love to take my family on a vacation. I want to take care of my mom -- I don't want her to work anymore.

<b>What will you do with your portion of the winnings?</b> We haven't really decided what we're going to do -- that's like, <i>a whole lot.</i> We were like, "We're gonna go to the bank and turn it into all ones. Get it stacked up, look at it and enjoy it." But realistically, we'd really like to convene and make the best decision for the group, as a group. <b>Would you be up to come back to defend your title next season?</b> To be honest with you, I wouldn't want the Season 2 winner to be threatened by that. [laughs] No, really, we definitely would be honored to come and do something on this stage again. We're kind of the pioneers of the scene right now, so next season is gonna have to up it.

Chris Gatdula

<b>You knew you were going to win, didn't you?</b> I can't really say we knew we were gonna win, but I knew we had a great shot at it. <b>Any plans for your portion of the winnings?</b> We're going to take a break for a little bit, but also we want to do stuff for the community. We just want to give back. We just want to keep our business going.

Rynan Shawn Paguio

<b>Would you be up for a battle with next season's winners?</b> That's the one thing that we're about. Being on the show gives us opportunities, but we like to get down in cyphers and circles and just dance. We battle people all the time. <b>Who did you think was your biggest competition?</b> Honestly, the biggest competition we thought, when we first got on the show, was Kaba Modern and Live in Color. But Status Quo made us turn some heads. They came through with an amazing show and it was like, "Oh, OK, now this crew is coming up." It was like that for every group they all just kept stepping up.

Jeff Nguyen, aka Phi

<b>What will you do with your portion of the winnings?</b> Go celebrate with our families and donate some of our winnings back to the community that gave to us, the hip-hop culture. <b>Do you think anyone can beat you guys?</b> Of course! There's always someone younger and better. I gotta stay on my toes.

Phil Tayag, aka Swagger Boy

<b>What will you do with your portion of the winnings?</b> Buy lots of water -- I'm so dehydrated! <b>Were you surprised, or were you expecting it a little bit?</b> It hasn't set in yet. [I was] surprised and expecting it a little bit because we had a killer show, I'm not gonna lie. [laughs] We weren't expecting anything, but at the same time, we were confident.

Lil' Mama, Judge

<b>Were you surprised? You had to have known they'd win </b> No. I actually didn't know that JabbaWockeeZ were going to win, but I had my bets on that. I really love that group. When it came down to the final two, Status Quo is so raw and rugged, they bring a new feel to the dance floor, but I think that JabbaWockeeZ really deserved it. <b>Who put this outfit together?</b> They have a stylist on set -- her name is Kara Saun, from 'Project Runway' -- and she always does my outfits. She compromised with my style and she knew I was colorful. She really embraced me.

JC Chasez, Judge

<b>Why do you think you were branded "the mean judge"?</b> You know, I never said anything mean on the show. Everybody looked at it that way I guess, but never at one point did I say I didn't like anything. I was always looking for something that the group could improve on, because I want to help them grow. <b>There have been a rumors about you hanging out with Chace Crawford, and you've denied having any physical relationship with him but any chance you'll guest-star on 'Gossip Girl'? </b> [Laughs] I don't know. It depends -- I guess if the right part was written into the script. Right now, my focus is music and 'America's Best Dance Crew.' The rumors are stupid.

Shane Sparks, Judge

<b>Did you learn any new moves from the crews?</b> Kaba Modern did some stuff with their heads and some mouth thing [popping his head from side to side], and I was like, OK, they're taking it to another level right now. <b>What's your advice for crews thinking about trying out?</b> Just make sure that your crew is tight. Make sure that your choreography is creative, try to be unique, like BreakSk8. I'm hoping we get something like BreakSk8 on the show -- not saying they have to be skaters, but something that different. And more girl crews!
