These are such good matchups. Two of my all-time favorites. However...how can you possibly top an episode with TWO of the most iconic MST3K songs: Idiot Control Now and Clown in the Sky?

Now it's down to the Winners vs. Winners rounds so we're going with the episode we enjoy more, "Horror of Party Beach" though it was a tough choice. "Creepy Girl" is hard to resist but ultimately "SODIUM!" won the day! "Sodium, won't you?" 😁
