Season 13 of The Masked Singer is now airing. As soon as her voice sounded in group C, singing the words to Hot to Go, we had one thought: that Yorkie is Erika Jayne.
Erika has been sharing her story on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for nine seasons. Therefore, we have grown familiar with her voice, in all its many forms, rather well. We are also well-educated on her dance poses, various life struggles, and her signature shades of sass, which mirror those of the Yorkie this season on The Masked Singer. If anyone remains on the fence about our prediction, let us help unpack the clues we have already witnessed, which signal that Erika will soon get revealed as the face behind the sparkly all-pink Yorkie costume.
Lisa Vanderpump must be so proud. But also probably not.
Who is the Yorkie on Masked Singer?
The Yorkie on Masked Singer is likely Erika Jayne.
The character debuted in group C. As a later group, this pup made her first appearance on the March 26 episode of The Masked Singer Season 13. Hot to Go! by Chappell Roan was her first song. Her performance left her four panelists confused, yet pleased, at the end of this routine.
The judges could not guess who Yorkie was. Their predictions first centered around Chelsea Handler, Paris Hilton, Kyle Richards, and Teresa Giudice. But during the Boy Band Night, the Yorkie sang Step by Step by New Kids on the Block, where finally, the name Erika sounded.
As for the person who chose this costume, Yorkie explained, “Becoming Yorkie is kismet. We’re both sassy, fashion-forward, and, dare I say it, popular. But don’t be fooled by the designer dog looks. I’ve still got a bite,” this Yorkie quipped, sounding like our little “OR WHAT?” Erika.
“Yorkies were bred to catch rats, which is a good skill to have when you’ve been through everything I’ve been through,” Yorkie continued, adding, “And girl, I’ve been through a lot of crazy stuff. One minute, you’re so hot. Next, it’s your time to go.”
Yorkie then revealed that she had music, which “rescued me in my darkest hours and has led me here.” Like Yorkie, Erika has also used music to escape awful timelines, making us think that Yorkie is Erika.
RHOBH’s Erika Jayne has vocals just like The Masked Singer’s Yorkie
5, 6, 5, 6, 7, 8! YORKIE SOUNDS JUST LIKE ERIKA. The song Hot to Go contains lyrics that are both spoken and sung. Listen to this little pink bow-wow as she switches gears, performing these lyrics in a voice that, if not hers, could double as a voice twin for Erika. Also, the dance movements this Yorkie hit mimicked ones we have seen before from Erika on RHOBH.
Following this performance, Yorkie said, “I was down bad, but then a lovely lady in Beverly Hills adopted me. Now I’m wearing Chanel and eating caviar.” Thanks to the voice-altering technology used for the pre-taped interview clips, we could not tell if this voice belonged to Erika, but the words within this statement sound very RHOBH-coded if you ask us.
When Yorkie next sang Step by Step, we (again) heard only Erika hiding underneath that costume. Erika is a solid performer with an unmistakable style of singing and dancing. Presenting mostly as an Alto, the notes and steps Erika has hit on Bravo and then again on The Masked Singer are far too similar to ignore. These familiar vocals make us think that Erika is Yorkie on Season 13 of The Masked Singer.
Do Yorkie’s Masked Singer clues point to Erika Jayne?
Apart from her vocals and dance moves, the Yorkie has faced struggles, like Erika. During her second performance, the Yorkie character compared herself to a boy band with all the headlines her life has caused. When she walked onto the scene, the fans adored her, she stressed. But everything changed after she found herself “wrapped up in a major scandal, paying for someone else’s choices.”
This clue sounds like Tom Girardi, her estranged, since disbarred attorney husband, who made headlines in 2020 with allegations of fraud and embezzlement. This narrative saw Erika on the defensive, as many accused her of profiting off the backs of orphans and widows. Erika maintained her innocence, and no judges have yet to find her guilty of any crime.
Similarly, several on-screen hints also suggest that Erika is Yorkie. Her video packages include a diamond ring, poker chips, her name on a billboard, “scandal,” and a peach pie. Let us break these clues down now.
All full-time RHOBH stars carry a diamond in their hands during the intro of their series. As for the poker chips, Erika once held a Bet It All on Blonde residency in Las Vegas. Erika has also seen her name in lights via her Broadway performances. The scandal part we already covered, but even the peach pie part tracks, as Erika was born in Atlanta, where peaches reign supreme.
All these narratives match, suggesting that Erika is the Yorkie in Season 13 of The Masked Singer.
The Masked Singer is streaming on Hulu.
