MakeOut Clinic (9) defeats The Merry Men(7)

With the challenges bringing their unique brand of Allentown-style improv to the stages of Philadelphia, the potential for high drama on the simple stage of the Shubin was great. And when they won a hard-fought game of paper, rock, scissors and opted to go second the stage was set for an upset. MakeOut Clinics bizarre set included couples going through therapy to have opinions, a strange old man collecting hair, and the two most clueless ballerinas in history. The Merry Men shared the history of penguin rooms and penguin wars - along with a glimpse of the future (hovercars and all). Was it enough to win them a return engagement? Did MakeOut Clinic triumph to start yet another streak in the CAGE? Only someone who read the next sentence will know.

MakeOut Clinic (10) defeats Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring (6)

All good things must come to an end, and for Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring - who had the longest winning streak in CAGEMATCH Philly history going into this night - the end was here. Despite a strong set, the trio could not beat back a vocal audience that MakeOut Clinic brough with them. Nor could they generate enough belly laughs to stave off the comic assault that their more experience competition presented. And so, the kings are dead. Long live the kings: MakeOut Clinic.

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring (14) defeats BWP (9)

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring continued their domanance of the CAGEMATCH with a convincing win that featured the stories of Tony Hawk's bastard son Jimmy, assassins for hire, and the birth of a new comic book Superhero, Periodman (who has the ability to end any sentence). T.he Ninjas set showcased a hotel run by an inept \Uncle and his Nephew dealing with their beleaguered guests: a married couple trying hard to celebrate their 2-year anniversary. There were black and white TVs, fake Wi-Fi boxes, and Room Service courtesy of McDonald's.

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring (16) defeats BWP (5)

The CAGEMATCH Premiere Tournament Champion is Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring who continued to hold strong with their mass of supporters in the face of an excellent set from BWP. We surely haven't heard the last of those two ladies, but for now it's the three lads from PHIT's own training program who have prevailed!

BWP (18) defeats Whipsuit (5)

The audience's reaction to BWP twinkies made the outcome of this CAGEMATCH clear well in advance of the final vote tally. Whipsuit brought a great opening set, but in the continued "curse of the first slot" they failed to tally a large enough total to advance to the finals.

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring (18) defeats Men About Town (6)

The wild adventures inside a CVS, crumbling marriages, and child valets filled the stage during Men About Town's set after they lost the coin toss... but it was no match for the healthy crowd SSFWS brought to the show

WINNER: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring (19) defeats Asskite (10)

After winning the coin-toss, Asskite proceeded to rock hard and fast for 23 minutes before absurdly transitioning into a Lounge Act at the 2-minute warning. Whatever goodwill the audience felt towards them seemed to evaporate as they frantically sang out the clock during the remaining 120 seconds. SSFWS took the stage with a high bar to jump and proceeded to move through a great set. It's sure to be remembered for their embrace of a large mirror on the stage for a scene of identical twins and high fives... a moment which probably won the night for them.

Whipsuit (27) defeats Traffic Jelly (8)

A battle royale of two great duos, a battle of the sexes, real live sisters versus brothers from different mothers... there were just too many ways to bill this bout. At the end of the night, though, it was veterans Whipsuit who walked off with a placed booked in the Premiere Tournament semifinals. Traffic Jelly assures the world they will be back. Our first feud? Perhaps...

BWP (20) defeats Nirvana 2 (17)

This CAGEMATCH was controversial from the start, when a coin could not be found for the toss. It is also the closest CAGEMATCH score in history, being decided by a mere three votes.

WINNER: Men About Town (17) defeats Industrial (3 votes)

In the innaugural CAGEMATCH Philly bout, a stumbling, confused, unfunny Industrial set virtually handed the win to Men About Town - who held on by not fucking up during their own "interesting" performance that left many members of the audience feeling depressed and asking for their mommies. Coincidentally, Men About Town can be abbreviated as MAT: which is part of the word cageMATch. This fact alone may be responsible for the gods of improv (and the audience) favoring their performance.
