2009/2/16 MFBBT: Seniors vs. Juniors PK

This episode is the first of two installments featuring the competition between BBT Seniors (incorporating MoFanQiBang and Lollipop's AoQuan, XiaoJie) and 11 SanJun contestants, who represent the BBT Juniors.


Aben was introduced in full Afro Rapper costume. Besides his very Hip Hop alter-ego, Aben also brought along a picture of FanFan posing on rocks and deemed her to be his idol.

Aben thinks, "she is very beautiful!"

Upon being welcomed back to the MFBBT home, MaoDi commented that he felt nervous, as it seemed as though it was the beginning of ErJun selections again. Therefore, MaoDi expressed his hopes that everybody will work hard together to fulfill their goals.

The Back-Up Dancers in Black are also welcomed:


On the other hand, YeShou confidently commented that he was extremely energised and also jokingly taunted his juniors by stating that they will soon be discovering the cruelty of showbiz.

To kick off this much anticipated contest, AoQuan introduced MaoDi to represent the Seniors in the Song&Dance section.

As MaoDi was pitched against YiTeng, he was asked what his impressions were of his Junior. MaoDi had noticed that YiTeng was beginning to stand out on MFBBT and found the episode with Da MOUTH as guests to be particularly memorable.

MaoDi performed the ZaiNanShu version of MaoXianShiJie (A Risky World) but with the original addition of an entertaining dance routine, which revolved around his signature peace-sign pose. Near the end of the dance, MaoDi acted that he couldn't control his hand from giving cute peace-signs and gave a sternly handsome peace-sign pose in the end.

MaoDi is aptly developing body movement in his dancing:


MaoDi's hand is out of control:

Ending pose:

Still caught in the moment of his charismatic performance, MaoDi pompously struts off-stage, leaving his 'mother' and brother a little shaken:

The judge, NiuNai LaoShi, summed up MaoDi's performance as 'great, great, great,' and commented that he used cuteness to great effect- 9/10.

However, AndyGe stated that from an honest perspective, it was a bit unfair for YiTeng as MaoDi could perform with one of his EP tracks, although MaoDi did challenge himself by doing the ZaiNanShu version instead. Therefore, AndyGe gave MaoDi's performance a 7/10.

Aben was next in line among MoFanQiBang with an incredibly hilarious RAP performance that really pushed effeminate dancing and maturity (read as: old age) to new heights ...

Aben chills with WangZi and MaoDi before he is called on to perform:

Aben on stand-by, waiting for his turn to 'shine':

An impatient and excited Aben chest-bumps FanFan:

Before his performance, Aben shows a video that introduces his alter-ego, MC HipHop, shaking booty in the streets of Taipei:


Shaking his booty on public exercise equipment for the elderly:

Despite his macho disguise, the little princess in Aben still comes out from within, as he chooses to buy a pink bowl over a blue bowl. (If you listen carefully to the video, Aben repeatedly refers to himself with the personal pronoun 'she'):

"She is so cool... She is so passionate... She is unbelievable":

Aben does his thing:

But then strips off his masculinity for some sexy dancing! :


Everyone wants to become just like Aben:

Unable to contain his deepfelt admiration towards Aben, NiuNai LaoShi shook his hand and praised the amount of detail that Aben had put into both his video and performace. Most significantly, NiuNai commented that he had rarely witnessed all the crew cracking up in response to a performance, and rewarded Aben with a 10/10.

In addition, AndyGe synonymously gave Aben a 10/10, stating that Aben is a real entertainer, who knows how to successfully bring out the humour of the show.

Aben also took the opportunity to comment that AhJie had come a long way in the short space of time that he had entered MFBBT. He advised AhJie that the important thing is developing his own personality on the show. Moreover, Aben threw in the offer that he would teach AhJie his signature Sexy Dance if AhJie would like to learn.

For his singing PK match against ABC,YeShou exuded sheer sex appeal, bursting out into dance in the middle of his passionate love song:


In judging YeShou's performance, FanFan commented that he did well but could have illicited more control. AndyGe also recognised that YeShou did a great job especially considering that he had chosen a difficult song to sing and gave it a 8/10, whilst NiuNai gave YeShou a 9/10 for his performance.

Finally, we saw XiaoLu's very professional and charismatic Locking performance, competing against Yoyo, who decided to give Locking a try:

XiaoLu's got the funk:

NiuNai praised the brisk cleanliness of XiaoLu's Locking, as this dance style thrives on hitting the points in the music. In addition, NiuNai commented that XiaoLu also appears to be very familiar with every second of the music, which assisted the effectiveness of his performance and gave it a 9/10.

However, AndyGe gave XiaoLu a 8/10, in recognising that XiaoLu's dancing standard had always been very advanced, and encouraged Yoyo to persist with Locking.
XiaoLu emphasizes the importance of 'Practise':

To round my coverage off, just because it's cute- WeiYu has some fun playing with AoQuan's hoodie, whilst XiaoMa (out of shot) plays with XiaoJie's hoodie:

I found it pretty impressive that all the Seniors could come up with such original and polished performances in the space of three days that they had to rehearse, considering their busy schedules, as well as the fact that they have markedly all improved at their craft! High quality performances all the way!
