| 2 | "Ok, here's the tea. When people see me, they always see a winner, baby. But while I've graced the cover of many magazines, I've actually hidden behind a mask for most of my life even from those that I love the most like my superhero dad. He taught me how to shoot for the stars. So I did. And eventually, millions saw me as a superhero. But the more I focused on pleasing others, the farther I got from who I really was. My dad was proud of what I did. But I often wonder if he'd be proud of who I am. I'll never know. I missed many chances of my truth. And it's my biggest regret. But it taught me there's no time to waste. So tonight, I'm stepping back into the winner's circle because this old bird still knows how to turn heads." |

Trivia[]
- Phoenix is the first transgender contestant on the US show.
- However, this wouldn't be the first in the franchise's history that someone is transgender. Otter who is Sam Bettens, is also transgender.
- In an interview following her unmasking, Caitlyn revealed that she already had three songs practiced and lined up for the show, the first being "Tik Tok". Had she moved on, her second song would have been "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" by The Temptations, in which Thingamajig sang in Season 2. It would also make her the second person to sing a song from another contestant. [1]
- Phoenix is Ken's first correct "First Impression" guess but he switched to RuPaul.
- Phoenix's theme, "Fireball" was also a performance performed by Frog.
- Caitlyn Jenner was previously guessed to be Cactus in the Australian version.
- She's was the first I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here contestant in the show.
