Tempers continued to flare as Sandoval warned Kennedy, threatening to confront him physically. "Get in my face again, and I will f**k you up, motherf**ker," he said.

Kennedy responded with equal fury, exchanging heated words with the cover band singer and calling him a "worm with a mustache."

Amid the chaos, Leviss and Sandoval found solace in a trailer where they discussed the overwhelming hatred directed towards them. Sandoval said, "They're making you and me be pathological liars," to which Leviss remarked, "I see that, even though we know that we're not."

As things got too intense, Sandoval asked for a break from filming, angrily lashing out at a producer and insisting on being left alone without a camera in his face. "I need a break from filming. Stop filming me! I don't want a camera in my goddamn face!" he yelled.
