Eliminators
Before the fight, Vic Reeves had allegedly cut the head off of one of the bunnies on Wild Thing's arm, one of the many decorations put on it by Shauna Lowry and put it in the frying pan that Vic Reeves had put on the front of Diotor.
 * Vic Reeves & Diotoir vs Shauna Lowry & Wild Thing

At the beginning, Diotoir fired its weapon and caused the frying pan to fly off. Wild thing attacked Diotoir from behind and pushed at angle, causing doitor to spin as Wild Thing pushed it. Diotoir drove over a flame jet and caught fire, then Wild Thing battered into it. Sgt Bash torched Diotoir, causing it to burn even more. Wild Thing Pushed the blazing robot towards the side wall, but Diotoir got around to the back of Wild Thing and attempted a flip, but missed. Diotoir limped away, the giant comical glasses falling off, but was attacked by Wild Thing again. Wild Thing pushed back Diotoir and impaled it with the front lance, slamming it into Sgt Bash. The robots circled each other, but Wild Thing ran into Sgt Bash, giving Diotor a chance, but it wasn't taken. Diotor forced Wild Thing into the side wall and tried to flip it, but missed again. Sgt bash roasted the rabbits aboard the arm of Wild Thing, as Shauna gave the controls to Nick Adams. This made no difference however because Wild Thing was motionless, so Matilda rammed and lifted it. Diotoir was scorched by Sgt Bash again, when suddenly Wild Thing burst back to life and attacked Diotoir, but was quickly grabbed by Sir Killalot, then spun around and pitted.

Winner: Vic Reeves & Diotoir

Gemini was given no huge changes except the wigs placed on top of the clusterbots, whilst Killertron had a boxing glove over the axe and was given and black and red makeover.
 * Chris Eubank & Killertron vs The Turner sisters & Gemini

One of the Gemini twins sped out towards Killertron, then veered away as Killertron swung the axe. Killeertron missed, then was attacked again, therefore swung the axe again, this time landing a blow. One of the twins managed a flip, but Killertron was kept upright by one of the side mounted boxing gloves. The weaponary boxing glove came crashing down onto Gemini, but the other came in and flicked Killertron onto a flame jet. Gemini backed off, then one of the twins sped out to attack the wounded Killertron. In an attempt to defend itself Killertron swung its axe, but gemini was too quick and rammed and lifted it before the axe could do any damage. The same happened again, but this time the twin fell forwards. Gemini was stuck on its side, but matilda helped it down and then went on to unfairly flip Killertron over. Matilda came back to right Killertron, but Killertron was flipped on its back end by a twin. Killertron got back down, but the boxing glove was roasted on a flame jet as it came down. A Gemini twin attacked it again a pushed it onto its side, then levered it back down. Matilda shredded the boxing glove, just as a Gemini twin flipped her over. Sir Killalot righted Matilda, as cease was called. It was an obvious desicion for the judges, as they voted Gemini through.
