The masked dancer – basic The Masked Singer but, you know, with dance – it has to be the latest program on television. This week’s playoff games in Group B feature a core green sloth (whether or not Will Ferrell) wrapping a ribbon-on-a-stick around the love theme of An officer and a gentleman, for example.
But Wednesday’s Masked dancers the episode took an unexpectedly serious turn when it was revealed that the moth had kidnapped the Elizabeth Smart.
Unlike others Masks celebrities who have always been actively known – various singers, rappers, athletes, YouTubers, actors and comedians – Elizabeth was suddenly in the spotlight under the tragic and frightening circumstances at the age of 14 when she was abducted from her bedroom at the knife point and was imprisoned for nine horrific months in 2002. Her disturbing, striking survival story made two films for TV, as well as two books written by Elizabeth, and the now 33-year-old head of the Elizabeth Smart Foundation became one of the worlds . most prominent advocates for missing persons and survivors of sexual assault and human trafficking. One would not expect a public figure like Smart to report for such a silly program and appear on national television, dressed like a giant glittering insect – or that her unmasking would be such an emotionally charged breakthrough moment. be not.
‘My grandmother passed away very recently, but she had so much fun. She never let a moment pass by her. And when this opportunity came up, I thought, ‘I’m living a pretty serious life, and I’m going to take this opportunity and just have fun,’ ‘Elizabeth explained to Craig Robinson. A visibly moved Brian Austin Green – the only Masked dancers judgment to guess the moth’s identity correctly – told her, ‘Can I just say that, for what you dealt with in your life, you were an inspiration to so many people and that you did so much good with a lot of difficult situation, and we need more people like you on the planet. Thank you.”
While the moth’s metamorphosis Masked dancers The trip ended Wednesday. Three other mystery personalities advanced to the Super Six semifinals, where they will compete with three Group A contestants (to be determined next week). The revelation of Smart was certainly a shocking remedy (a greeting for Brian to figure one out), but perhaps the Zebra, Cotton Candy or Sloth will be easier to identify based on the performances and clues below.
The zebra
What is black and white and stupid everywhere? The Zebra! This striped hoofer promised to bring back sexy with his measurement routine at K-Ci & JoJo’s ‘All-Life’ of a 90-year-old city – but this number was so awkward and awkward that I almost thought the Ice Cube of last week, Bill Nye, was eliminated. , returned, newly disguised, in a sort of revenge-of-the-nerds plot twist. Whoever the Zebra is, he is not a professional dancer. But the resident vibeologist of the judging panel, Paula Abdul, thought the Zebra was actually moving like a professional boxer.
The clues: Last week we got a lot of boy-band references, but I’m starting to suspect that the Zebra is not an entertainer. This week we saw the strong ZEO sitting at an executive desk for a company selling ‘Dad’s Devices’, and other footage included a sports medal, wrestling, cinnamon, a fish and a broken record. The Zebra said he survived his difficult childhood thanks to the love of his mentors and friends, and now he wants to give back. His “Word on!” oral clue was ‘champion’.
Judges’ guesses: Conor McGregor, Tony Robbins, Alex Rodriguez, Floyd Mayweather, Mario Lopez, Tito Ortiz.
My guess: I guess I better change my guess from last week … which was Clay Aiken. Mayweather looks like a better bet, because his former nemesis was Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, or “The Cinnamon Head.” Floyd also competed for the WWC and beyond Dancing With The Stars, and he has his own foundation to help underprivileged youth.
The Cotton Candy
While this fluffy femme’s cute club danced to the Lady Gaga / BLACKPINK bop “Sour Candy”, it was not as impressive as last week’s stunt, it was quite sweet. She displayed a lot of sass, endurance and, as Paula noted, core strength. It could be another well-known athlete – but one who had a serious dance education.
The clues: She missed many everyday adolescent activities and was dropped off by other children because she always tries to have a balance between exercise and school. We saw a lipstick (the second lip of the season, after the bad cupcakes of last week), an American flag, a falcon and a storybook. Her verbal clue was ‘team player’.
Judges’ guesses: Jenna Dewan, Tara Lipinksi, Kristi Yamaguchi.
My guess: I have not completely ruled out my riddle of last week, Julianne Hough, yet, but now I think it could be competitive skater, mature sports commentator and two-time writer Tara Lipinski. (LIPinski? Get it?) Many of this week’s clues were Olympics, and last week’s clue was number 3 – the age Tara was when she first started skating, and possibly a reference to her historical combination of three-and-three loop at the 1998 Winter Games.
The sloth
The sloth was definitely busy with the gold – at least the comedy gold – with his ribbon-twisting rhythmic gymnastics routine to “Up Where We Belong.” Fellow comedian Ken Jeong even stated it farce de farce his favorite dance of the season so far.
The clues: We saw sports equipment, a Say anything-style boombox salute, and a cruise ship. The sloth spoke of the fact that he lived in a foreign land, did not fit in with it, and was mistaken as a ‘bad boy’, but said that he finally ‘took a chance and jumped’. His oral clue was ‘the leading man’.
Judges’ guesses: Jonathan Groff, Keegan-Michael Key, Jason Derulo, Will Ferrell.
My guess: Last week I thought it was Todrick Hall, but could be the lazy person – ready to listen to me – the legendary lead singer David Lee Roth? Roth once lived in Tokyo, people thought he was “just a gigolo,” and he once decided he could “just as well jump.” And one of the clues last week was the initials “DR”! (The Van Halen rock star dropped the ‘Lee’ from his name last year.) And ‘Roth’ rhymes with ‘Sloth’! Yes i know this guess is a long shot, but the sloth personality and physical comedy of the Sloth now completely gives me Diamond Dave “Dance the Night Away” vibes.
