during the , quest was put into the bottom two for the first time against fly khicks. the crew had to incorporate five styles of hip hop into their routine: threading, krumping, housing, tutting and waving. hok was familiar with tutting and ryan conferido knew how to thread so the crew depended on them to work on those sections. songs performed in the hip hop decathlon were: poker face by lady gaga (threading), love lockdown by kanye west (tutting), i'm in miami trick by lmfao (waving), closer by ne-yo (housing), and get up by 50 cent (krumping). the performance received a standing ovation from the judges and audience. the judges highly praised the crew. d-trix performed elbow airflares, which received compliments from shane sparks, hirano receiving compliments for being buff - since he ripped his shirt off during the krumping section - and steve terada performed a backflip from a sitting indian-style position. victor kim performed threaded handhops, and hok konishi choreographed the tutting section. jc praised hok in his tutting by calling him a true egyptian and stating that hok should be called "king tut".
