Throughout Season 2, viewers have come together on social media to share their guesses about each singer. Some, including the identities of Thingamajig (Indiana Pacers point guard Victor Oladipo) and Flower (singer Patti Labelle), proved to be correct while others fell flat.
With three contestants remaining on Wednesday’s season finale, here are the famous faces that fans think are behind Flamingo, Rottweiler and Fox.
Flamingo
Flamingo has been one of the most talked-about contestants on Season 2 of The Masked Singer. One popular theory shared by many fans and some members of the show’s judging panel point to Adrienne Bailon, co-host of The Real and former Cheetah Girl.
This theory has been online since the season’s early days, and Bailon has commented on it publicly, saying she’s not involved in the show.
Speaking about the rumor on The Real, Bailon explained that her schedule is too hectic to film both series. Fans aren’t convinced, though, and even judges have guessed Bailon. However, Bailon wouldn’t be the first to deny involvement. Oladipo did, too.
Fox
The identity of Fox has been far more debated than Flamingo, but one name has risen to the top of the list. Heading into the finale, most online commenters seem to think actor Wayne Brady is under the mask. Brady becoming a fan favorite guess is a major change of direction from the original frontrunner behind the Fox mask: actor Jeremy Renner, most known for playing Hawkeye in Marvel’s Avengers movies.
Fans seem to think Brady is the singer because of some of Fox’s clues. One calls Fox a “superhero,” which viewers connected to Brady’s upcoming role in DC’s Black Lightning. Another talks of all of the genres Fox has dabbled in. Brady is known for his malleable career, and even his Twitter bio expresses he’s a “Guy who makes stuff up, pretends to be other people and sings.”
Rottweiler
Another strong theory surrounds the identity of Rottweiler. Most fans seem to think singer Chris Daughtry is under the mask. This theory seemingly started because of Daughtry’s unique vocals, which seem similar to Rottweiler’s.
Fans even have a running joke about one judge theory. A handful of Twitter users created a meme out of the guess from judge Nicole Scherzinger that Rottweiler is Darren Criss. It seems internet users don’t agree. Many tweets joke of the assumption, and imply it has no validity against the idea that Rottweiler could be Daughtry.
