It's Showdown was an dance competition airing as a segment of the noon time show, It's Showtime premiered from October 30 to December 2, 2023[1][2][3] before being replaced the following Monday by EXpecially For You.

During the course of the segment, 45 different groups competed. Fresno Style PH was crowned the segment's grand champion on December 2, 2023, at the end of 33 days of competition. United Alliance came in second, with AMK Rock Nation coming in third. Mi Familia Homies and League of Monsters Brothass finished in joint fourth/fifth place, respectively.

Format[edit]

It's Showdown features the so-called "Classic Showtime" format: dance groups from around the Philippines battle and show off their dance skills in the "Showdance Arena" vying to become the segment's grand champion. It is open to all dance groups: all boys, all girls, all LGBTQ+, or mixed, and all ages 16 and up. Creativity, execution, and overall impact are the judging criteria. The competition consists of three rounds: daily rounds, weekly finals, and The Grand Hatawan. The length of the segments has been reduced for unknown reasons. Throughout the competition, there were no monthly finals or semi-finals rounds.

Before the results are revealed, the audience is asked which group they believe has the best performance for that round. Furthermore, the hosts choose an audience member at random to express their feelings about the group. Following each group's performance in each round, the judges' average scores are revealed, and in the second round, both the average scores from the second round and the combined scores from both first and second rounds are revealed.

Each group receives a maximum average score of five points during each round, with a total of ten points available to a group during a round.

Daily Rounds[edit]

There are two stages of the Daily Rounds: the Hatawan-on-One round and the "Dance Showdown" round.

  • Hatawan-on-One Round: Each group's representative competes against the other.
  • Dance Showdown: All members of each group, including the previous round's representative, will perform their dance.
  • Solo Dance Showdown: Only required if the scores of both groups are equal. A representative from each group will be chosen at random from a fish bowl.

  • Dance Showdown: All members of each group, including the previous round's representative, will perform their dance. All groups will perform based on the day they have won (for example, the first group to perform is the group that won on Monday, the second on Tuesday, and so on).
  • Solo Dance Showdown: Only required if the scores of two or more groups are equal. A representative from each group will be chosen at random from a fish bowl.

The group with the highest combined scores after two rounds will receive ₱30,000 and proceeds to The Grand Hatawan, while the losing groups will receive ₱10,000.

The Grand Hatawan[edit]

The Grand Hatawan was held on December 2, 2023, after 33 days of competition. The five groups that advanced on the weekly finals will battle one last time to become It's Showdown's grand champion. There are two rounds in the finals: Dancing with a Star and Huling Hataw. Two judges' scores are made public following their evaluations of the contestants' performances in the first round.

  • Dancing with a Star: In the first round, each group has to dance with a celebrity. The celebrities assigned on each group are not required to assign points to each group. The top two teams with the judges' highest average scores advance to the final round. The Final Two receive advantages: the group with the highest average score gets to choose who will perform first, and the other group selects which side they want to dance on.
  • Huling Hataw: The final two groups will compete against each other in a final showdown.

The grand prizes for the champion are ₱300,000 and a trophy, while the prize for the runner-up is ₱100,000. Meanwhile, the bottom three finalists received ₱50,000.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Following the cease-and-desist order against ABS-CBN's free-to-air assets, the show moved to Kapamilya Channel, with simulcast on A2Z, Jeepney TV, TV5 (July 16, 2022 – June 30, 2023), and GTV (since July 1, 2023).
  2. ^ Nocturnal Dance Company auditioned first on the sixth season of Pilipinas Got Talent, and received a golden buzzer by judge Robin Padilla. The group eventually reached the finals, finishing sixth place. The group also auditioned on GMA Network's Battle of the Judges, a spin-off show based on Got Talent, where they were assigned on Boy Abunda's team. The group was eliminated on the Battle to the Top round after receiving only one star, losing to Bea Alonzo's squad member, Joseph Erwin Valerio, who replaced Moses Gozun due to the latter's participation on WCOPA 2023.
  3. ^ Rock A Freakers first entered the competition on November 21, 2023. Kinetix beat the group by 1.7 points. The group re-entered the competition a week later, but lost to Femmelicious Varsity by 1.1 points.
