Week Clue
2 ”Hey, it's me, Jack. Jacket Potato. I'm one hot potato, but I'm here to drop it like, well, like it's a hot potato. Like all good spuds, I'm smooth, creamy, and occasional baked. Can I say that? Hoo ha ha. Hey, it's a good thing I'm a clever high J, because what I do, it's like America, and man, do I need that energy. Yo, stick with me, and I'm promised this potato will lead you all the way to who I am. I hope you like your potatoes deviled, because I'm no angel, but I'm one mighty sweet angel. Tonight, I'm gonna deliver a smash hit."
4 ”Last time, it was viva las hot potato. I found myself in the bottom three, but this potato has thick skin. But I'll be back at the top of menu in no time. Hey, I'm back, it's me, Jack, Jack Potato. You might think jacket potatoes are tough skin, but me, I've always planted myself. I've been able to express a whole host of emotions. That could be the secret to my success, but the universe also has to play his part, right? And I've certainly had auditions that could have seen me take very different roles. I might be a simple potato, but some mega famous people have looked to me to make them look good. Tonight, get ready to be buttered up as this hot potato takes the stage."
5 ”Last time, this potato was smooth like butter. The panel were frying their best to get me. They're colder than a potato salad. Now say it with me. It's me, Jack, Jacket Potato. You know, you can find potatoes impractically every country on this planet. And even though there a humble vegetable, everyone all around the world knows them. Now we might not speak the same language, but being a potato means you can, still communicate. Trust me, that's pretty special, eh? I am wrapped in foil and I know what it's like to be the foil, but will I foil you? Tonight, I'm baking business, just fry and stop me."
6 ”Last time, I was real smooth when I sang 'Smooth'. The panel's guesses are still all over the place. Let me tell you about a potato called Jack. That's me, Jack, Jacket Potato! I ain't no angel, I've been around the blood. I've forgotten more than you know. I'm always telling tales, sort of. But, that is what you know me for the most. And my stories have a special way of becoming other people's stories. I got very special recognition for my tales, but that meant a lot to me. But there's also nothing like seeing 80,000 people in one place enjoying your words. Now that is a great feeling. Tonight, I'm going to be pota-totally awesome."
7 ”In my last performance, I rocked out. The panel have never guessed the potato under this jacket. Hey, it's the semifinal, and I'm still here. Yes, me, Jack, Jacket Potato. So, spit the fork in me 'cause I'm done. See? I told you I was one hot potato. That's because potatoes are always the perfect pairing to most dishes. And I know all about the perfect partnership. Tonight, I'm gonna give you my crispiest performance yet."
