The Glo Battle of the Year Nigeria episode 3 aired on Saturday, February 19 didn’t disappoint fans of the dance competition.
Episode 3 saw twists and turns as some of the fans’ favorites missed out on automatic qualifications to the finals.
Below are six main highlights from the episode which was about the regional Bboy and Locking finals.
1 After his fierce semifinal battle with Victor Vic, Bboy Off fainted backstage and was asked to withdraw from the competition by the medical team. The 6ft dancer discussed with the medical team and with fire in his eyes, Bboy Off went on stage and gave his best but Lil Vic just had something special as he was crowned winner in Abuja. This meant Lil Vic would go up against the best dancers from the other regions in the finals scheduled to hold in Lagos in April.
2 CFly, Port Harcourt-based Locking dancer lost out in the automatic qualification after Christiana Gift defeated him in the Locking finals to emerge the only female Locking Dancer in the competition. Still in Port Harcourt, one of the fans’ favourites, Jared Lee Jarrell, known to many as Bboy Midnight, defeated Lil Monster in what many termed “the battle of David Vs Goliath”.
3 In Kaduna, 2014 BOTY Nigeria winner, Bboy Trixx, who defeated his younger brother in the semis, competed against Bboy Lym, and came out tops and will fly Kaduna’s as well as his family flag at the finals in Lagos. The Kaduna Locking finals had Spinoza go up against Sammy with Spinoza winning the duel effortlessly and so booked a spot in Lagos for the semi-final and finals.
4 Charming and charismatic 21-year-old Bboy Prym made it to the Enugu regional Bboy finals but could not secure the automatic ticket to the finals after losing to SixGod. It was rather sad to see one of the favourite dancers in this particular season lose out of an automatic final spot. On the other hand, Noel defeated Binary in the Locking finals to advance to the finals in Lagos.
5 After defeating giant slayer Bboy Famous in the Lagos final, attention needs to be paid to Lil Dan who is certainly looking like the real deal. Now we know why Lil Dan was eager to show us his dance medals and he actually has a lot of them. Locking Mike defeated Benedict in the regional Locking finals in Lagos to join the other four contestants.
6 There is a piece of good news and this is the fact that the audience has the opportunity to become part of the voting public and bring back their favorite contestants as wildcards. For the Bboy category, there is an option to bring back at least two of Bboy Off, Bboy Jerry, Bboy Lym, Bboy Prym, Lil Monster and Bboy Famous to join the six boys in the finals.
