End of show, time for the real contender. It's Hairo, who works two jobs to support his talent, and in the unfortunate words of Nick Cannon, "wants to take it from the bedroom to the big stage." Don't we all, Nick. He's a breakdancer from a poor family, and he says he's excited to chow the judges something that they've never seen before. He's from Oregon (and somehow in Miami) and with little intro starts his act. He does a crazy leg flip and lands (what looks like) painfully and then he rips off his shirt and slams himself into the floor again. He's super good at twisting himself around, and Nick wins the Insecurity Award of the evening by noting that Hairo probably doesn't have any balls. The judges love him and want to see more of him, and with little hassle vote him through to Vegas. Hairo talkes about how happy he is and, sensing overshadowing from Joseph. again plays up the poor family angle. He's excited to go on, and we're through for another night.
So two weeks down, who is the act to beat? Where does Hairo rank against the other end-of-show-ers? And who's stoked for Big Brother?

Not to nitpick but when Hairo was performing, Nick said it looked like he didn't have any "bones", not "balls". Because of all the awkward positions he was putting himself in.
I hate Nick at this point as much as you do (why do they keep going away from an interesting act to show his reactions? Jerry wasn't this insecure.) but he wasn't at fault THIS time.

Anonymous, if you watch the Susan Boyle clip, the hosts on Britain's Got Talent do the same thing. I'm guessing we got it from them.
I think the red thing on Marty the Magician's jacket was some sort of high-tech nametag. I'm pretty sure the red spelled out Marty.

p.s. can't wait til big brother.
also, I thought Hairo was good, but IMO nowhere as entertaining as other breakers shown on SYTYCD.
