Live Blogging the 5-8 Talent Show

The 5-8 talent show has begun!! Brother suites and sister suites pair up for great skits, dancing and more. Masters of Ceremony Tim Hilliard and Joanh Dister lead the masses in group dance, energetic cheers and all around silliness.

7:00
Isabel and Kelly's girls start the night with a skit about getting hypnotized and then break into song and dance to "Do You Believe in Magic?" Classic cuteness with the youngest girls' suites.

7:02
Dance break! "Twist and Shout" provided by Secret Squirrels. Complete with synchronized clapping, of course.

7:05
Cameron and Robbie's boys begin with a skit, about life at a boot camp. The boys try to be serious, but they can't help but giggle throughout the skit. Out of nowhere, "Dancing Queen" begins and all the boys break out their disco moves and sing along to the iconic words.

7:12
Chelsea and Adrianna's girls start with a classic counselor grouping skit and counselor Sam is kidnapped by the Schaffers. Sam escapes into a tree, but wait... "Its not same went into that tree... it's this will be!" "This Will Be" begins to play and girls line up for a synchronized dance.

7:16
Surprise skit by Josh's boys - A Secret Squirrel gift for Scooter!

7:18
Andrew and Sam's boys reprise a classic class skit, "Tea Time with Matthew", including Batman, Yoda and counselors Savannah, Jonah and Josh. When a loose lip gloss is tossed in the crowd, the boys start dancing to "Lip Gloss" and the crowd starts cheering. Laughs and claps all around.

7:24
Maggie Huff and Leah's girls are next! Each girl takes on the role of a different counselor and they all head to a dance party. "Hollaback Girl" starts to play and girls show off their synchronized moves. When the song ends, the girls run around the auditorium cheering for SEP!

7:33
Jonah and Vipin's suite is on the stage! Campers take on different personas, like Justin Beiber, Zac Efron and more, and explain how they crashed landed on a deserted island. Highlight of the skit is Taylor Swft's arrival, counselor Vipin's favorite person, ever. "Thanksgiving" starts playing and the boys show their moves to the camp. Laughs are endless.

7:41
Katya and Kelsey's girl are up. Doing a great counselor line-up, the girls figure out they can't find Vipin! After a brief flashback scene, he is found. Spice Girls "If You Wanna be my Lover" starts playing and the girls end the skit with "We love you Vipin", displaying the classic Vipin arms.

7:50
John and Tim's suite start with the classic "counselor trivia" skit. Highlight of the skit are the campers demonstrating the best way to "grow a beard", an inside joke from throughout the session. A dance to "Time After Time" ends the act; the song is a crowd favorite.

7:59
Secret Squirrel reveal! Seamus, Chelsea and Liz sing a song to Josh -- Liz reveals she is his Secret Squirrel! Tears all around.

8:05
Destine and Savannah's girls begin with a skit, starting with some serious "beard business". Classic puns all around: "Wait, it's not finding the Josh map, it's dancing to parent trap!" A great synchronized dance follows, the crowd is impressed.

8:12
Another secret squirrel reveal! Scooter plays guitar and sings to Kelly. The audience gives him a standing ovation!

8:16
Mike and Scooter's suite start with a skit, but end with a dance to "Say My Name". Their crazy dance moves make the audience laugh and clap throughout the dance. They even dance in color coded groups, a nod to the original music video.

8:21
Sarah and Maggie Chamber's girls start their skit with more beard jokes, a staple of the evening. In the skit, they shave Josh's beard in his sleep, which upsets him greatly. They end their skit with a song about beards and some synchronized dancing around the upset Josh character.

8:27
Jonah and Seamus show off their secret handshake. It's impressive.

8:28
Saving the best for last! Sean and Josh's boys are up, starting their skit with a funny math joke. One Direction then jumps on the stage, but are fought off by a hard rock-metal-progressive band. In the end, only one stands, the boy who told the math joke.

8:32
