While the official judges' decision was controversial enough to spark boos and necessitate an overtime round, the overwhelming fan consensus points to a victory for Young Gattas.

Though Tut was highly entertaining, Gattas' blend of bars, performance, and memorable lines like the 'Tomb Raider' scheme gave her the clear edge in the court of public opinion, making this a widely recognized 'robbery'.
