HostNick Cannonannounced that the time had come for the studio audience and panel to vote for their favorite performance of the night. The contestant who received the fewest number of votes would immediately unmask — the other two would face off in a Battle Royale.

Cannon, 41, revealed Maize would go home first. And underneath the corny costume poppedSex and the City’s Cantone, 62.

Then Robo Girl and Mermaid belted “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” fromEvita, and the judges decided Mermaid should move on. Accordingly, Lloyd Webber deemed Robo Girl the new reigning queen.

Upon being unmasked, another one of the panel’s earlier guesses — “I Will Survive” singer Gaynor — appeared.

“I love you all,” the two-time Grammy winner, 79, said to her fans. “Keep watching, keeping living and most of all, keeping love.”
