So, the results are in, and Jani Laitiala (who also took home the Top Pro last year), Nick Merlino, and Foundation all came out the big winners. But now’s the time to feast your eyes on these photographic gems from yesterday’s Showdown.

Watch the video from Girl’s Little China Girl HERE and Flip’s Extremely Sorry HERE.
