The Masked Singer must be looking to Bravo to book their talent this year. The Diver turned out to be Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval. Although the pitchy performance and Tom’s signature dance moves gave away his identity.
Four new singers hit the stage for One-Hit Wonders Night. Donut, Anteater, Hibiscus, and Candleabra all performed in hopes of advancing in the competition. But in the end, Masked Singer’s Hibiscus was unmasked as Real Housewives of New York City alum Luann de Lesseps.
Luann sang her heart out as Hibiscus on The Masked Singer
In her clues, Hibiscus said, “My love of the stage comes from my childhood.” A vampire, a first aid kit, the Statue of Liberty, and a gingerbread house were also featured in her clue package. She stated, “I grew up in a large family and had to compete for attention which led to my love of performing.” While I understand the first aid kit since Luann was a nurse, I’m not sure about the gingerbread house.
Additionally, Hibiscus revealed that she “was a total late bloomer who, after a hospital stint, became a sexy flower in the big city.” She also claimed to be a Sharon Stone lookalike.
Luann sang It’s Raining Men by The Weather Girls. Afterward, she gave some extra clues. The Men in Black played I’m Too Sexy by Right Said Fred. Luann added, “I’ve been in a couple beauty pageants and I’ve also worn a tiara.” The judges’ guesses ranged from Luann to model Janice Dickinson and Don’t Be Tardy star Kim Zolciak.
Luann had to take it off…
Anteater and Hibiscus garnered the fewest votes and headed into the Smackdown. They both sang Toni Basil’s hit Hey Mickey. (Now that song is stuck in my head for the day.)
The judges, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke, and Nicole Scherzinger voted to save Anteater. So, Luann removed her mask. Host Nick Cannon told the audience that he often joked that Luann was his “future baby mama.” And Jenny correctly guessed Luann’s identity.
You can catch Luann in Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy, which premieres on Peacock on Thursday, December 14.
The Masked Singer airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on FOX.
