| 0 (Super Sneak Peek) | Mirror, mirror, on the wall, what makes me the biggest miracle of all? |
| 1 | "Hey all you cool corns and cornettes! I'm Popcorn, Miss Popcorn if you're tasty. I'm a real sweet corn with a jumbo-sized heart. I mean, straight up, I've built a career around love. But that doesn't mean I'm soft. I'm a hard corn hustler. To get where I am, I worked long nights, rushin' from one job to the next. Eventually, I went from a little puff cutting pictures out of Vogue to jet setting to exotic places with royalty. So while you may think I'm a little cheesy, no, I worked for what I got. Now, tonight, you butter believe I'm ready to get things popping in the spotlight." |
| 3 | "I picked the Popcorn costume because I wanted to step far out of my comfort zone. But my favorite part so far is flirting with Nick."
Popcorn: "I just wanna kiss Nick!" Nick: "Whoa!?" "I'm not the only one around here lookin' like a snack! I wasn't always a healthy treat. When I was a tiny kernel, I suffered from a bizarre condition. I couldn't eat or sleep. I developed severe anxiety and felt like I was in an emotional prison, until I delved deep in my pop-core and found my voice, which led me away from the drama, to the other side. Yes, because of my voice, I survived. And tonight, I can serve you up another delicious performance." |
| 7 | "Every time I get to walk out onto this stage, it feels so great knowing I'm bringing a little happiness to the world. But I couldn't do it without my own personal cheerleader, her royal highness, my queen BFF." (Popcorn's Royal BFF): "I know Popcorn through a mutual friend. Technically, a queen associate. I don't have to tell you my BFF has an amazing voice, but I can never get her to sing at my famous karaoke parties. Such a royal pain! At least she's singing for you all here, on a stage I've been on before. Dun dun dun! Now everyone can revel in her majesty. Popcorn, you know I'm in your court. Good luck makin' it to the Super 6, because you deserve the crown." |
| 10 | "I feel so blessed to be here as the popcorn, not just because I get more quality time with my main squeeze, Nick, but because being here I can take people to a happy place and spread a message of positivity. But it's also been emotional for me. Like, I've literally been crying under my mask at the panel's comment's. Going up against Sun tonight, I know she has a killer voice, but I'm going to do whatI've been doing since all these other creatures were in diapers.I'm going to go out there and rock it and live the message of the song just like I've done for decades. I've rehearsed and prepared every waking moment because I'm determined to cross winning "The Masked Singer" off my popcorn bucket list. Now pay attention to this tasty clue. Ok, time to sign off." |
