| Week | Clue |
|---|---|
| 2 | "Well, howdy, partners. There's a new sheriff in town and his name is Rhino. But I'm the authority in these hear parts. And while I look pretty tough and serious on the outside, you'll learn I'm a fun kind of fellow. Yeehaw! It's my job to maintain law and order. And I want to make sure that we have a nice fair game. So the question is...do you feel lucky, pipes? Well, do you? Let the guessing begin!" |
| 4 | "Last time, the panel's guesses went wild. I've absolutely loved that performance, and I'm ready to join the rodeo again this evening. In this here town, I like to encourage patience. True, I might be a rhino, but I've never been a one to charge into a situation. It's sure could be say that I've been in a hurry to get somewhere on occasion. Rhinos are extremely rare creatures. I haven't been the odd one out on the plains before. I could appreciate how that feels. But being a rhino, you have the natural gift of strength. That allows you to breakthrough. So, watch out! Tonight, I'm gonna stampede the competition." |
| 5 | "In my last performance, I gave it my best try. The panel was shooting wild with their guesses. But I think they need some practice with their aim. My job as sheriff of this town is to keep the peace. But I have been known to do on occasion. Once, I took on two icons at the same time. I won. Not only that, but I also battle with the temperature. I came out victorious too. A rhino out of his club is a very fishy thing to see. Tonight, I'm gonna lasso me another great performance." |
| 6 | "Last time, I would've been "lion" if I said I wasn't having a good time. The panel is still way out west with their guesses. And I'm on their most wanted list. Being a sheriff, sometimes it can feel that you're a puppet of the law. When that happens, you'll have to learn to cut the strings. It's your deed. As a sheriff, to make tough decisions, and I wear it as a badge in arm, but I have the courage to make those choices. It's important as a rhino to know yourself, and to trust your instincts. That's what makes a good woman. Tonight, I got no choice but to trample the competition. Rhi-know you know I was hard to be wild. |
| 7 | "Last time, the panel thought they busted my identity. But when it comes to who I am, I'm still very much on their most wanted list. Yeehaw! Set up my horn. It's the semifinal! Being a rhino, you got options. You can be part of a herd or tread a solitary path. You can also do both, like we. Despite being a large creature, I always been the gentle sort. Although, I have been known to raise a few eyebrows. I've always manage to find my tribe. Tonight, we're gonna have a good old fashioned hoedown. Hold on to your hats!" |
| 8 | "In the semifinal, I rocked out. And now I'm charging into the final. Well, howdy-duty-dandy! This is it. The last chance to guess who I am. You got until sundown to get it right. Just string together all the clues. Can you do it? Let's concentrate real hard. Someone said I was James Arthur, but then, you said no. It's time to put the wild into Wild West, panel. Let's have some fun! You're halfway there already, but will you complete your guessing journey tonight? Yeehaw!" |
