Episode 1’s six performers:
[ol]
[li]Turtle[/li][li]Llama[/li][li]White Tiger[/li][li]Kangaroo[/li][li]Miss Monster[/li][li]Robot[/li][/ol]
I think maybe Turtle is a former boy-band member, perhaps Jordan Knight.
Anyone else have some guesses?
I caught a few minutes of this last night.
I’ll be shocked if the Monster isn’t Chaka Khan.
Chaka Khan is a good guess. I did feel like it was an older woman. She barely seemed able to move in that unfortunate costume.
The White Tiger is tall. It’s gotta be a b-ball player.
I saw it last night, and couldn’t come up with a single guess, or narrow things down beyond, “Well, that one’s definitely female.” :smack:
And then the one who was unmasked, yes, that was a famous person, but I’ve only ever known him as the originator of a catchphrase. Seriously, I don’t think I ever laid eyes on him before. Platinum albums, you say?
White Tiger as an athlete makes sense. He can’t really sing very well, but he could dance, it seemed like. I couldn’t really take a guess.
Not being a big fan of recent rap music, I was only passably familiar with Lil Wayne. I recognized him when unmasked, but never would have identified him by his singing voice.
White Tiger must be Rob Gronkowski. Moves like him, sounds like him.
In the clue segment of White Tiger, I thought he sounded just like Hulk Hogan. Then hearing him after that it didn’t!
Llama: With the Seattle connection, I was thinking Russel Wilson
Kangaroo : Iggy Azalea or Keisha
Miss Monster : Dionne Warwick , but Chaka is a great guess too
The red herrings in the clue segments annoy me. It’s hard enough without that!
Did you guys see the unmasking of the llama last night? I am simultaneously delighted and disgruntled. 
Whoever he is, he’s the worst performer they’ve ever had. Even the worst of the rest have at least done passable karaoke. All he’s done is rap bad rap badly. Shocked he’s made wasn’t eliminated in the first round.
Only watching sporadically but there is no way the tiger isn’t Gronk.
I am also amazed that White Tiger wasn’t toast this week. I agree, Gronk is a very good guess.
I still think Miss Monster is Chaka Khan, especially after the bit about how she’s close to royalty, a queen, etc. Her last name, Khan, means king, if I remember correctly.
Still think the Turtle is one of the New Kids, probably Jordan.
I was surprised that the llama turned out to be Drew Carey! He was really not too bad! Certainly didn’t deserve to go home, with the much weaker link of White Tiger still hanging in there.
I wonder if the early boots are somewhat fixed. They don’t talk about prize money (only a trophy) and some of the contestants might only be able to commit to a couple of appearances.
I got Drew Carey from the “Seattle” and “Sound” clue package.
Could the Kangaroo be Sia aka Cousin ITT? A lot of the clues referenced Survivor and she has tangentially been involved with Survivor with her “fan favorite” prize money donation. If it weren’t for Survivor I would never know who she is, so I don’t know her singing voice.
Okay, so my guess for the White Tiger is: a very tall deaf person. Seriously, that was bad.
But he beat Chaka Khan!
Dr. Ken is still the best thing about the show.
I was thinking Sia also, mostly because of her being Australian. I don’t know enough about her to glean anything from the clues but I do love me some 'roos and Sia, so here’s hoping. . .
White Tiger is very terrible, and yet Chaka Khan had a pretty weak performance this week, comparatively.
White Tiger did manage to engage with the audience, and was the last to perform, which I suspect saved him.
I still can’t make a credible guess on him. Very low voice, maybe an athlete? Gronk or John Cena is about the best I can do.
For one hot minute I was wondering if Kangaroo might be Paris Jackson. The voice doesn’t sound Australian to me. Though Paris Jackson has no children, and I believe one clue revealed that Kangaroo is a mom.
It’s Gronk.
But even if it’s not Gronk no way it’s Cena. Cena is 6 feet, maybe 6’1” Gronk is 6’6”. The tiger is very tall.
I don’t know how White Tiger is still hanging in there. Just so so bad. But yeah, I think Gronk too.
