Clues[]
| Week | Clue |
|---|---|
| 2 | "I am 'the Rabbit'. I've spent most of my life on stage, but I was never alone. Now I pop up here and I pop up there. Synchronized singing is my forte. It's as if I've been training for this my entire life. Performed on stage? Check. Performed in a mask? Check. Have a voice? Check check. This rabbit is here to win, and you'd better believe the last mask standing is gonna be me." |
| 4 | "During my last performance, I bounced to new heights. I knew I would thrive behind this mask, and I knocked it out of the amusement park. Welcome, my friends, to my playground where I worked as a little bunny. As a young cottontail, I sought fame and everyone wanted a piece of me. But life isn't always carrots and cream. I found safety in a group. But sometimes not getting to be yourself can leave you feeling boxed in. Now I'm finding it exhilarating to be on my own. Every week, I get to cook up something new for you all. Tonight I'm going to wake you all up and show you I can be the main attraction. Oh yeah." |
| 5 | "Well, howdy, friends. I've been working my tail off to keep you guessing who I am, and showing off my range is part of my master plan to throw you off. I've done Latin pop. Then country twang, y'all. And tonight, I'm gonna try to confuse the panel again with some R&B. What can I say? I'm a trickster. I bounce here, I hop there, and then I'm gone. So chew on this. I'm about to bust out all the old-school moves. I just hope I don't pass out. Now, if you think you're confused now, just wait." |
| 7 | "Nothing's been more satisfying week after week than showing off what I've got, and standing out all on my own. Much of my career was spent in a herd, others pulling my strings. So it's nice to finally be the puppet master. I've prepared for this since hanging tough in the Sunshine State. Being unmasked tonight would break my achy heart. The competition is cooking with some amazing singers. So now the puppet master turns ringmaster as I put my own twisted spin on a lovely classic." |
| 8 | "Throughout the competition, I've been singing as many different genres as possible to throw the panel off my scent and to prove that I'm a versatile performer in my own right. But I also came here to win. It's the semifinals. And there's two unmaskings so I need to perform twice as hard. Whenever I'm under a lot of pressure, I pack up the entire family and head to the great outdoors. We hike through the mountains going step by step. And me and my dad go fishing for a big fat tuna or, as I like to call it, chicken of the sea. Now, after trashing the camp, I'm going to dig deep, because, man, I wanna win this." |
