- [Host] Welcome to MTV's "Stan vs Stan"
the internet game show for hardcore fans
to flex their knowledge on their favorite artists.
In this tournament,
eight are competing for the title of The Ultimate Stan
but only one can remain and lay claim to the crown.
It's simple.
Whoever has the most points at the end of the episode wins
and moves on to the semifinal.
Today's pop battle features Wyatt from Kansas City.
Wyatt it is so obsessed with Ariana merch he once wore
a tour tee to a funeral.
Plans to put off getting married until he's relevant enough
to have Ariana attend.
Met Ariana once and she hit on him.
I mean, she said he was cute.
That's how you hit on someone, right?
Sure.
And Irish leprechauns are real.
Wyatt will be facing off against Ryan from Illinois.
85% of Ryan's closet is Billie Eilish merch.
The other 15% is room for more Billie Eilish merch.
She runs a fan account tracking Billie's every move
like the Chinese government and TikTok.
And wait for it,
she even hugged Billie once and hasn't showered since.
