Fox<\/p>\n

The Hippo<\/h3>\n

Week 1: Performed “My Prerogative”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Clues: Male, breakfast is the most important meal of the day because he needs his strength, he’s one of the most dangerous animals in the kingdom, used to performing in a mask in front of thousands of screaming fans, has to dance whenever he wins even when it gets him in trouble, drinks orange juice, has a lot of money, and his favorite past time is bowling.<\/p>\n

The Reveal: Pittsburgh Steeler Antonio Brown<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"The<\/div>\n

Fox<\/p>\n

The Peacock<\/h3>\n

Week 1: Performed “The Greatest Show” from The Greatest Showman<\/em><\/p>\n

The Clues: Male, started performing at a young age, loves the spotlight, close friends with Michael Jackson, plays piano, has a small ceramic dog, very Las Vegas, impressive voice, was part of a magic act and said, “It’s probably been a while since your mom had a poster of me on her bedroom wall.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our Best Guess: Donny Osmond<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"The<\/div>\n

Fox<\/p>\n

The Monster<\/h3>\n

Week 1: Performed “Don’t Stop Me Now”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Clues: Male, he’s a monster because that’s what the world labeled him, here to rewrite his mixtape to prove that he’s more than just “puff and fluff,” was at the top of his game but the game turned on him so he retreated into a cave to take a break from the public eye, now here to set the record straight to show the world that no one can stop him, says he’s not a professional singer “to everyone.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

An unexpectedly great performance!<\/p>\n

Our Best Guess: Honestly, we’re stumped.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"The<\/div>\n

Fox<\/p>\n

The Deer<\/h3>\n

Week 1: Performed “Thunder”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Clues: 6’3″, chose the deer because they’re incredibly competitive, always considered himself a singer but not sure anyone else would agree, says it’s hard for people to get past who he is and what he’s known for, he’s been knocked down fifty times, but in the Wild Wild West you learn how to get up and get back in the saddle, likes horses, had to wrap his antlers in medical tape. He also said “Ravens beware,” and had to “take the fifth” when the panel asked if he played in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Our Best Guess: Another football player, perhaps Terry Bradshaw<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"The<\/div>\n

Fox<\/p>\n

The Lion<\/h3>\n

Week 1: Performed “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our Best Guess: Tracee Ellis Ross<\/strong>…or Rumer Willis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"The<\/div>\n

Fox<\/p>\n

The Unicorn<\/h3>\n

Week 1: Performed “Fight Song”<\/p>\n

The Clues: Born in Beverly Hills and should have had a magical childhood, dreamed of singing but someone she admired called her tone-deaf, people always told her she wasn’t good enough, wants to prove that you can be yourself, and all you have to do is believe. Not the best voice, but not bad. “They call me Bird.”<\/p>\n

Our Best Guess: Tori Spelling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
