(Asian) America's Best Dance Crew & Voting

Ok ya'll... tonight's finale of Asian America's Best Dance Crew was amazing! 20 million people voted. I soooo wish I could get a hold of voting stats and demographics. Alas... such data is unavailable for nerds like me. It was odd at times in the last week anticipating who would win - the Asian American men OR the group of racially diverse women?  In a way, it kind of felt like Obama v. Hillary all over again. The man of color or the woman? While I love Hillary, the moment Obama arrived on the scene, he had my vote. I think we can agree that Hillary just didn't bring it in the end, like the Beat Freaks... awesome from the beginning and consistent, but fell short in the last challenge. And Quest Crew bringing down the house in the last challenge, but not amazing all season long. So, who won? Would it be Beat Freaks or Quest Crew? Hollywood Ladies or Cerritos Brothas?
