So the bands have about half an hour to finish merch sales, and things get pretty naughty. HARLOW has women offering fellatio to whomever purchases their stuff, while CRACKHEAD has a girl stripping a piece of clothing for each buy. FLICKERSTICK doesn’t even bother with their merch. They think they’ve lost anyway, so they go the HARLOW table to buy stuff before they get the boot, which HARLOW really appreciates. They buy about $70 or $80 worth of merch. You see, that’s what makes these guys awesome. When they think they’re going down, what do they do? Help out the sisters. That’s pretty noble, I think.

Merch time has ended. Time to find out once and for all who gets the boot. Daryl: “I keep trying to tell you motherfuckers, I ain’t going home!” Okay, dude. Chill.

Okay, here we go.

Total Tour Earnings:
FLICK -- $4261
HARLOW -- $4994
DODES -- $4690
CRACK -- $5232

That leaves DODES in third, so if FLICK wins, they’re out. If FLICK doesn’t win, then FLICK is out. Uh-oh. Katina breaks down the point system for the battle:

Audience invited by bands: 1 point
Independent audience invited by VH1: 5 points

Battle Scores:
FLICK -- $76
HARLOW -- $58
DODES -- $49
CRACK -- $30

Woohoo! FLICK wins! But DODES is gone. Everyone starts to get really emotional. FLICK is crying because they just won. DODES is crying because they have to go home. Jo Jo starts to cry, which hits me in the chest, because he’s such a big guy and I always find it quite sad to see a large guy cry. I don’t know. Everybody hugs. Cory hugs Daryl. Chimene hugs Adrian (that beef died pretty quick). Amanda: “There was this heavy melancholy in the room, and it was really quite horrible.” Maiya: “I suppose we knew this could happen, I mean we did sign on for it. There’s a lot of good bands here, and someone had to go. If it had to be us, so be it.” Aw. I feel bad for them.
