Host Jerry Springer tells Terry Fator, Cas Haley and Butterscotch they are safe, which means Bel Air's Julienne's Irwin is out.

She says she isn't disappointed at all and that she's just getting started. "I'd like to invest in your future," Springer says.

They look back at her journey on the show. During the montage, she starts crying when her father starts talking about how proud he is. "Julienne, we have loved having you on the show," Springer says as he hands her a ton of flowers. "Don't worry; you'll be hearing a lot about her," he tells the audience.

Next, Springer introduces a performance by Stomp Out Loud. He says it started as a street act, and now they're performing in Vegas. A big group of people make music with boxes, garbage can lids, their feet and more. It's very hard to describe, so check out its Web site here.

It's time for another cut. Cas Haley is safe, as is Terry Fator, which means that Butterscotch is out. Jerry tells her she has grown very much over the course of the show and, in fact, "introduced America to a new kind of music." I can only hope he is talking about her personal blend of music, because if he's talking about beatboxing, he's way behind the times (and I'm not even talking about Blake Lewis). She says she's seen her dreams come true, and then Jerry introduces a montage.

Next, is a performance by the "audition all-stars," doing Queen's "We Are the Champions." Shouldn't they be singing "We Aren't the Champions"? This is just tragic and embarrassing. Jerry comes out and calls them "The Jerry Springer Show Dancers." Sharon Osbourne says, "These amazing people are what makes this show No. 1!" Was she watching the same horrifying mess that I was? That was not something to brag about.

Speaking of which, next, David Hasselhoff comes out to sing "This is the Moment." Yes, the moment when you wonder why he became a famous singer overseas. And the moment when you are wonder when this song is ever going to end. After a strange finish, they cut to Hasselhoff's parents in the audience. Next, Jerry asks the other judges what they thought. Piers says he loves The Hoff. Sharon says, "That was absolutely fabulous." OK, whatever, can we just have the winner, please?

Bianca Ryan, last year's winner, gives the final two a personal message about how much the show has made her dreams come true. (A familiar refrain this evening.)

Next, montages about Cas and Terry while we draw closer to the 10 p.m. mark.

And the winner is ... Terry Fator. The last surprise is that he is going play the Jubilee Theater at Bally's Resort in Vegas, since playing Vegas is his dream.
