| 4 | "Yeah, that's me. You might be asking how I got myself into this mess. Growing up, I was just your average professional ice skater with Olympic dreams. I wanted to be a toxicologist. Side note, my superpower is empathy. But instead, I found myself in the psycho city of Hollywood. What happened next could have happened to billions of bombshells. I modeled for a major agency, did some teen acne commercials, landed some sitcom parts and made out with Tom Cruise. These days I love getting to play superheroes just as much as I love getting to play the girl next door who's also funny. What can I say, I've got range. So, that's pretty much how I ended up here. All dolled up in a sexy squirrel costume just to show you how nuts I am." |
| 5 | "My coming out as the squirrel last week was nuts. I had some tough competition, but I knew if I got into the battle royale, I could tap into my inner rock star and really show what I'm made of. Now that I'm sitting in the champion seat, I'm feeling a new fire. I'm working hard to make sure no one's going to take this title from me, especially not on Sesame Street night. I'm dedicating my performance to the Count, because my kid is his number one fan. That guy's got some style. Just like this new clue [a wedding gown]. Say yes to the guess." |
