The pre-game warm-up.
Which is really the rehearsal.
Oh my God.

This is pathetic.
Oh my God! We're here at the Lip Sync Battle.
Akbar's younger, he's in much better shape.
That's dangerous.
What I do have though? Is no shame.

So, Akbar have you ever seen your partner quite like this? In this You know what? I never wanna see him like this ever again, but I do have to say, you went all out on this one.
- My goodness! - (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) That was serious, Matt.
You can head on over to the VIP.
- Thank you.
- (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) So, this has been a show where two guys, who are no stranger to competition, brought out the best in one another, and we reap the benefits.
Now, when we come back, it gets real, as the audience decides who gets to take this belt off Chrissy's hands.
It's sturdy, it's blingy, but it's a bitch to accessorize.
And I'll belong to one of these lucky guys when we come back! You gotta see this.
Get ready.

So, tell us what it feels like, man.
You did a great job.
I gotta say, it's such an honor to perform in front of you, and Chrissy, and this phenomenal audience.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) But it feels best of all doing it in a thong and high heels in front of my parents! - I love you, Mom and Dad! - (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) You made me this way! LL: What did you think of his performance? The rocked 'em both.
The thing I know about Akbar is he always brings his "A" game.
That was the only reason I did this, is 'cause the only chance I had to outdo that man, was to go full (IMITATES CHER) diva.
(LAUGHTER) AKBAR: I gotta give him credit though.
If you can perform like that in heels, y-you're alright with me.
