Amateur Night: Show Off! featured the best of the best competing to advance to Top Dog!

Child Stars of Tomorrow: the audience's support for a Color Purple enthusiast and dance crew was indistinguishable. In a shocking move, two acts were thrilled to leave the Apollo together as winners.

Show Off! challenged the adult contestants and audiences alike. Deciding who advances among former winners can become problematic. Nevertheless, a decision was made. The first place winner faces another challenge. He must compete against his own dance crew during May 11's Top Dog!

Who was it? Find out below!
