Van Dyke’s presence on the show left the judging panel stunned and brought Nicole Scherzinger to tears as a fan who, like many of us, grew up watching Van Dyke on television, on Broadway, and in countless iconic movies including Mary Poppins. 

The competition then moved on to Mustang and Medussa who each performed a rendition of “Diamonds” by Rihanna. Medussa was named the winner of the battle, leading to the elimination of Mustang who was revealed to be country music superstar Sarah Evans.
