Now here's how tonight works.
45
00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:12,172
Both the bull and skunk
will perform twice.
46
00:02:12,216 --> 00:02:17,052
And for the first time
in "masked singer" history,
one duet.
47
00:02:17,096 --> 00:02:18,053
So that's pretty exciting.
48
00:02:18,097 --> 00:02:20,222
- Wow.
- Yes.
49
00:02:20,266 --> 00:02:24,059
Bull's duet partner is
season three runner-up turtle,

michael bolton.
54
00:02:36,115 --> 00:02:37,156

00:02:37,449 --> 00:02:40,450

this thing going?
56
00:02:40,494 --> 00:02:41,952
Ow!
57
00:02:41,996 --> 00:02:45,664
Give it up for our panel
of celebrity detectives!
58
00:02:45,708 --> 00:02:47,583
Come on!
59
00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:50,085
Robin: Yeah!
60
00:02:50,963 --> 00:02:52,337
- ( ken shouts )
- whoo!
61
00:02:52,381 --> 00:02:54,173
Thank you, nick.
Thank you.
62
00:02:54,175 --> 00:02:55,465
Thank you guys.
63
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:59,678
Now they're all fighting
for our golden ear trophy,
64
00:02:59,722 --> 00:03:01,305
and, nicole, you got one.
65
00:03:01,348 --> 00:03:04,057
I'm on the board, nick.
I'm coming!
66
00:03:04,059 --> 00:03:06,185
- ( hisses )
- I'm coming, jenny, for you!
67
00:03:06,228 --> 00:03:08,145
You're coming for jenny,
but you're tied with me,
68
00:03:08,189 --> 00:03:10,230
so I don't think
you're gonna win.
69
00:03:11,317 --> 00:03:13,317
Why are you coughing
like it's-- come on.
70
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,027
Because I'm really scared
I'm not gonna win.
71
00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:18,322
- Oh.
- I think there's
a conspiracy going on.
72
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:21,366
Usually, I mean, ever since
donny was on the show
73
00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:22,492
and you didn't get him right,
74
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:24,328
you've been going downhill
from there.
75
00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:28,248
- Whoa! Nick.
- You are our double
golden ear champion,
76
00:03:28,292 --> 00:03:30,334
but it's not looking pretty
for you right now.
77
00:03:30,336 --> 00:03:32,878
Ken: Aww.
78
00:03:32,922 --> 00:03:36,965
Now let's get
this group a final started!
79
00:03:37,009 --> 00:03:39,218
We're kicking things off
with the bull.
80
00:03:39,261 --> 00:03:43,013
Robin swears he's never heard
his amazing voice before
81
00:03:43,015 --> 00:03:45,182
and nicole thinks
she knows who it is.
82
00:03:45,226 --> 00:03:46,475
But what do you think?
83
00:03:49,146 --> 00:03:52,022
After years of chasing
my destiny,
84
00:03:52,024 --> 00:03:53,607
I got a big break.
85
00:03:54,693 --> 00:03:56,193
That is a checkered flag.
86
00:03:56,237 --> 00:03:58,278
- Racing flag.
- Yep.
87
00:03:58,322 --> 00:04:02,574
I thought it would change
my life, but instead,
88
00:04:02,618 --> 00:04:04,618
I changed myself...
89
00:04:04,662 --> 00:04:06,995
Because of what people
around me were saying,
90
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:09,581
which I regretted
for a long time.
91
00:04:14,171 --> 00:04:16,964
But one day,
I woke up and I realized
92
00:04:17,007 --> 00:04:22,761
that the qualities that
I was hiding were actually
what gave me my superpowers.
93
00:04:22,805 --> 00:04:25,931
When I was true to myself,
my success skyrocketed.
94
00:04:25,975 --> 00:04:27,557
- Amen.
- That's right.
95
00:04:27,601 --> 00:04:30,811
And now I have the opportunity
to inspire others
96
00:04:30,854 --> 00:04:34,147
who maybe think that they
don't fit in with their herd.
97
00:04:34,191 --> 00:04:38,610
And as you can see,
I'll never miss the chance
again to express myself.
98
00:04:40,281 --> 00:04:42,990
How do you not root for him
hearing that?
99
00:04:43,033 --> 00:04:44,649
- He has an amazing story.
- Right?

I mean, what an incredible way
to kick off the group a finale

with your best performance,
and the most entertaining

performance we've ever
had on the show.

- Mr. Bull, I can't believe

what you're able to do
in that costume.
144
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:23,525

"masked singer" has never even
played in this league,
148
00:07:30,409 --> 00:07:34,453
- this caliber!
- Nick: Straight up.
149
00:07:34,496 --> 00:07:36,872
All right, this far
along in the competition,
150
00:07:36,915 --> 00:07:40,083
the panelists are
getting closer to working out
who these singers are,
151
00:07:40,127 --> 00:07:44,129
but to make things easier,
we're going to rule out a name
152
00:07:44,173 --> 00:07:47,340
that has been on the tip
of their tongue.
153
00:07:47,342 --> 00:07:49,259
Men in black,
roll out the tongue.
154
00:07:49,303 --> 00:07:52,596
- Robin: Whoa.
- Jenny: Oh, my gosh.
That's awesome.
155
00:07:53,891 --> 00:07:56,391
Oh, my gosh.
That is weird.
156
00:07:56,435 --> 00:07:59,519
All right, let's see what's on
the tip of this tongue.
157
00:07:59,563 --> 00:08:02,856
- Ken: Oh.
- Well, this is what was on
the tip of your tongue.
158
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:04,483
- See this guy?
- Look at that.
159
00:08:04,526 --> 00:08:07,152
- Jenny: Who is it?
- Is that alexander hamilton?
160
00:08:07,196 --> 00:08:09,029
- Look at you, history!
- Whoa!
161
00:08:09,031 --> 00:08:10,906
So it's not someone
from broadway.
162
00:08:10,949 --> 00:08:12,282
Or not someone from "hamilton."
163
00:08:12,284 --> 00:08:13,450
- nick: From "hamilton."
- oh.
164
00:08:13,494 --> 00:08:15,160
Nick: Bull, help us out.
165
00:08:15,204 --> 00:08:18,121
Well, nick,
I am not alexander hamilton,
166
00:08:18,165 --> 00:08:20,999
nor was in the broadway show.
167
00:08:21,043 --> 00:08:23,376
- Yet.
- Whoa.
168
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:25,879
I did perform at the same venue
169
00:08:25,881 --> 00:08:28,673
where "hamilton"
had its broadway debut.
170
00:08:28,675 --> 00:08:31,384
- Mm!
- Ken, is that helping?
171
00:08:31,428 --> 00:08:35,138
No, no, no.
I feel like he's trying
to swerve us,
172
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:37,807
because I swear this
is someone from "hamilton."
173
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:41,019
- he just said he wasn't.
- But I'm trying to find
a loophole, nick!
174
00:08:41,063 --> 00:08:44,022
- I'm trying to figure it out.
- Maybe it's a load of bull.
175
00:08:44,066 --> 00:08:45,649
- Ken: I mean...
- ( bull chuckles )
176
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:48,443
- good one, robin.
- Ken: I mean,
I'm honestly thinking
177
00:08:48,487 --> 00:08:51,321
it could be
jesse tyler ferguson
178
00:08:51,365 --> 00:08:54,658
who has been on broadway,
who is a triple threat.
179
00:08:54,701 --> 00:08:57,077
And I was hanging out
with jesse tyler the other day,
180
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,329
and he was doing
that kind of flips on a pool.
181
00:08:59,373 --> 00:09:03,291
- Why?
- Because he invited me, nick!
182
00:09:03,335 --> 00:09:04,918
And I was like,
"whoa! I love this!"
183
00:09:04,962 --> 00:09:06,711
'cause he's a liar.
He's a liar.
184
00:09:06,755 --> 00:09:10,382
And he was playing
"opposites attract"
by paula abdul.
185
00:09:10,425 --> 00:09:14,344
Now where's
my golden ear trophy, hmm?
186
00:09:14,346 --> 00:09:15,971
Right? Huh?
187
00:09:16,014 --> 00:09:17,764
Nick: Jenny, make some sense
out of this, please.
188
00:09:17,808 --> 00:09:20,350
Jenny:
Well, nick, there were
some big lgbtq clues,
189
00:09:20,394 --> 00:09:22,269
and then I saw a racing flag.
190
00:09:22,271 --> 00:09:24,354
He was on "rupaul's drag race"
many times,
191
00:09:24,398 --> 00:09:27,232
and recently on tour--
"wicked."
192
00:09:27,276 --> 00:09:29,651
it could be adam lambert.
193
00:09:29,695 --> 00:09:31,486
Ken: Oh.
194
00:09:32,698 --> 00:09:35,824
Vocally,
definitely a possibility,
195
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:37,909
however, the list
gets shorter and shorter
196
00:09:37,953 --> 00:09:39,619
- from the acrobatics.
- Nicole: Yeah.
197
00:09:39,663 --> 00:09:42,080
There's a few other
really talented people
198
00:09:42,124 --> 00:09:44,165
that I cannot believe
I have not brought up.
199
00:09:44,167 --> 00:09:46,543
- Okay.
- Someone who stands out
from the herd.
200
00:09:46,587 --> 00:09:49,879
I'm thinking someone
like jaden smith, right?
201
00:09:49,881 --> 00:09:52,924
Or there is a brilliant
broadway superstar
202
00:09:52,968 --> 00:09:54,509
by the name of jeremy pope.
203
00:09:54,511 --> 00:09:56,136
He can dance like that,
204
00:09:56,179 --> 00:09:58,430
he can sing,
he can do everything.
205
00:09:58,432 --> 00:09:59,514
Ken: Good guess.
206
00:09:59,516 --> 00:10:02,017
Nicole, we could beauty
and the beast,
207
00:10:02,060 --> 00:10:03,476
but you playing games.
208
00:10:03,478 --> 00:10:05,645
- Wow.
- Oh!
209
00:10:05,689 --> 00:10:08,231
Bull is flirting with nicole.
210
00:10:08,275 --> 00:10:10,942
We'll be right back
with "the masked flirter"
after this.
211
00:10:10,986 --> 00:10:15,155
- Jenny: Right?
- Nick: Before nicole takes
the bull by the horns,
212
00:10:15,198 --> 00:10:17,157
let's give it up
for that amazing performance.
213
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,283
- Not bad.
- Yeah.
214
00:10:18,327 --> 00:10:20,285
- Incredible.
- Unbelievable.
215
00:10:20,329 --> 00:10:25,915
Now head on backstage
and prep yourself for that
big duet you got coming up.
216
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:28,126
That was crazy.
217
00:10:28,170 --> 00:10:31,588
Hey, bull, it's your bestie
matthew morrison here.
218
00:10:31,632 --> 00:10:32,631
You know, I just have to say,
219
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:34,924
it fills my heart with glee
to see you strutting
220
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:39,346
those beautiful hooves
and that gorgeous voice of yours
on "the masked singer."
221
00:10:39,348 --> 00:10:40,930
now I know you're gonna kill it,
222
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,141
probably gonna make it
all the way to the end,
223
00:10:43,185 --> 00:10:44,351
and that's no bull.
224
00:10:44,394 --> 00:10:45,268
Good luck, my friend.
225
00:10:45,479 --> 00:10:47,395
Nick: Coming up,
for the first time
226
00:10:47,439 --> 00:10:49,022
in "masked singer" history,
227
00:10:49,066 --> 00:10:51,149
musical superstars
join our finalists
228
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:53,443
for duets you do not
want to miss.
229
00:10:53,487 --> 00:10:54,903
How insane was that?
230
00:10:54,946 --> 00:10:56,488
Only one can make it through,
231
00:10:56,531 --> 00:10:59,357
and you won't believe
who gets unmasked.
232
00:10:59,359 --> 00:11:01,242
Oh, my gosh!
233
00:11:09,002 --> 00:11:11,419
After seeing
bull's performance,
234
00:11:11,463 --> 00:11:15,340
it's certainly raising
the stakes for me.
235
00:11:15,384 --> 00:11:19,219
The skunk has inspired me
to not hold back.
236
00:11:19,262 --> 00:11:23,807
So tonight, I'm gonna crush it,
and I'm trying to win it.
237
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:27,352
Announcer:
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's skunk time.
238
00:11:29,231 --> 00:11:31,523
Welcome back
to "the masked singer"
239
00:11:31,566 --> 00:11:33,358
and our group a finals.
240
00:11:33,402 --> 00:11:36,319
It's the bull versus the skunk.
241
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:39,656
Every celebrated r&b singer
of the last three decades
242
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:41,908
has been guessed for skunk.
243
00:11:41,952 --> 00:11:46,287
But if you're still not sure,
here's a little more guidance.
244
00:11:50,585 --> 00:11:53,503
Skunk: Throughout my career,
I would say just as many people
245
00:11:53,547 --> 00:11:57,090
have been inspired by
my person as by my music.
246
00:11:57,134 --> 00:11:59,801
- New york.
- New york? Alicia keys.
247
00:11:59,803 --> 00:12:03,263
One time I was at church
with my good friend
whitney houston,
248
00:12:03,306 --> 00:12:08,017
rest in peace,
and there was a young lady,
who was, like, boo-hoo crying.
249
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:13,273
I'm thinking, "clearly
she's crying 'cause she sees
whitney houston," you know?
250
00:12:13,316 --> 00:12:15,984
And so the lady got up
and she was saying that
251
00:12:16,027 --> 00:12:18,403
my song got her
through so much.
252
00:12:18,447 --> 00:12:21,156
She was literally crying like,
"I know god is real
253
00:12:21,199 --> 00:12:23,158
because I never thought
I'd ever see you in my life."
254
00:12:23,201 --> 00:12:24,784
and then I started crying,
255
00:12:24,828 --> 00:12:27,162
'cause I'm thinking
she's talking about whitney.
256
00:12:27,164 --> 00:12:28,580
And I was like, "oh, my god."
257
00:12:28,623 --> 00:12:30,331
wow.
258
00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:34,419
It made me realize
that my actions
259
00:12:34,463 --> 00:12:36,421
and the hardships
I've been through
260
00:12:36,465 --> 00:12:40,049
didn't just make me stronger,
they helped other people too,
261
00:12:40,093 --> 00:12:42,135
and I'll take that
with me forever.

Yeah!
296
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,474
- Holy cow.
- Whoo!
297
00:14:56,897 --> 00:15:00,982
The skunk with everyone
on their feet
298
00:15:01,026 --> 00:15:03,151
as she dropped to her knees.
299
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:07,405
Well, mrs. Skunk,
300
00:15:07,407 --> 00:15:09,407
that was absolutely stunning,
gorgeous,
301
00:15:09,451 --> 00:15:12,035
and I really mean it,
you could be our next winner.
302
00:15:12,078 --> 00:15:13,912
Robin: Yes.
303
00:15:13,955 --> 00:15:16,164
- Preach.
- No, you said it.
304
00:15:16,166 --> 00:15:19,292
You dig so much deeper
into your soul when you sing
305
00:15:19,336 --> 00:15:22,003
that we can feel the pain
that you have to go through
306
00:15:22,088 --> 00:15:23,129
- to love a man...
- That's right.
307
00:15:23,423 --> 00:15:27,050
The pain that it takes
to make a relationship work.
308
00:15:27,093 --> 00:15:28,259
- Come on, preach, robin.
- Yes!
309
00:15:28,303 --> 00:15:31,179
- Preach, robin!
Preach, robin!
- Preach!
310
00:15:31,222 --> 00:15:33,389
- That--
- come on, robin.
311
00:15:33,433 --> 00:15:35,475
- Ken: Yes!
- That's what
we're all feeling,
312
00:15:35,518 --> 00:15:36,893
and that performance,
you got on your knees,
313
00:15:37,312 --> 00:15:39,395
you left every single note
that you have in your body
on that stage.
314
00:15:39,397 --> 00:15:41,606
- Thank you.
- Yes, you did.
315
00:15:44,361 --> 00:15:47,654
But we still don't know
who the skunk is!
316
00:15:47,697 --> 00:15:51,115
So which wrong celebrity guess
317
00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:53,618
has been on the tip
of the panel's tongues?
318
00:15:53,662 --> 00:15:56,162
- Roll the tongue out.
- We're about to find out.
319
00:15:56,206 --> 00:15:59,040
Roll out the tongue.
320
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:02,835
Let's see what's on the tip
of this tongue.
321
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:04,212
Oh.
322
00:16:05,757 --> 00:16:08,257
- See what I got here?
- Robin: What is that?
Jill scott?
323
00:16:08,301 --> 00:16:11,344
Okay, so it's not jill scott.
324
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:15,014
However,
we have performed together
325
00:16:15,058 --> 00:16:17,350
a few times in the past.
326
00:16:17,394 --> 00:16:19,185
Oh, really?
327
00:16:19,229 --> 00:16:20,687
Performed with jill scott.
Jenny?
328
00:16:20,730 --> 00:16:23,940
- I need a hot minute, nick.
- I'll come back to you.
329
00:16:23,984 --> 00:16:25,274
I don't need a hot minute.
330
00:16:25,276 --> 00:16:28,152
I don't waste time thinking
and, like, planning.
331
00:16:28,196 --> 00:16:30,238
We know. We know.
332
00:16:30,281 --> 00:16:33,157
I just go off the flab
of my stomach,
333
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:34,909
and my stomach tells me
334
00:16:34,953 --> 00:16:37,578
that the skunk
is definitely mary j. "bligh."
335
00:16:39,457 --> 00:16:41,958
put the g on the--
when you say "blige."
336
00:16:42,002 --> 00:16:44,961
- huh?
- It's not "bligh."
it's blige.
337
00:16:45,005 --> 00:16:46,754
She's a family friend, nick.
338
00:16:46,798 --> 00:16:50,425
She told me, and I quote,
"ken, I prefer that you,
339
00:16:50,468 --> 00:16:53,386
because we're so close,
that you call me bligh."
340
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:55,221
I said,
"but nick cannon said--"
341
00:16:55,265 --> 00:16:58,182
- that's a "blie!"
- no, she said blige.
342
00:16:58,226 --> 00:16:59,684
You're "blying" right now.
343
00:16:59,728 --> 00:17:02,353
- How dare you! How dare you!
- You're blying!
344
00:17:02,397 --> 00:17:03,855
You're the biggest
"bliar" I know.
345
00:17:03,898 --> 00:17:06,149
Ken: But you know
what's not a blie?
346
00:17:06,192 --> 00:17:09,068
Is that mary j.
Has been friends with
whitney houston over the years.
347
00:17:09,112 --> 00:17:11,237
I honestly,
in my heart of hearts,
348
00:17:11,281 --> 00:17:15,616
believe and I hope
that this is mary j. Bligh...
349
00:17:15,618 --> 00:17:16,868
- "juh!"
- there you go.
350
00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:18,911
Yep, yep.
351
00:17:18,955 --> 00:17:24,167
Well, our once clue expert
now seems to be a little bit
frustrated with the clues.
352
00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:26,252
I'm very frustrated
with the clues.
353
00:17:26,296 --> 00:17:30,256
Okay, whitney houston
happened to play
354
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:33,176
the fairy godmother
in "cinderella."
355
00:17:33,219 --> 00:17:36,179
- brandy.
- ( jeering )
356
00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:39,432
I hear you saying no,
but this is all I got, okay?
357
00:17:39,434 --> 00:17:41,768
Jenny, you're
a two-time champion.
358
00:17:41,770 --> 00:17:45,146
- It's okay to be dethroned.
- You need to spread the love.
359
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:46,314
I thought it was brandy
for a hot second.
360
00:17:46,357 --> 00:17:47,607
Okay.
361
00:17:47,942 --> 00:17:50,860
Brandy definitely has that voice
and has a whitney connection,
362
00:17:50,904 --> 00:17:52,153
'cause when brandy
first came out,
363
00:17:52,155 --> 00:17:54,489
a lot of people dubbed her
as the next whitney
364
00:17:54,532 --> 00:17:56,449
- when she was 14, 15 years old.
- Thanks, robin and nicole.
365
00:17:56,493 --> 00:17:58,910
And I've been back and forth
a little bit, but, you know,
366
00:17:58,912 --> 00:18:02,622
the clues and the story and now
that I see the whitney clue,
367
00:18:02,665 --> 00:18:04,290
and also a lot of you
might know this,
368
00:18:04,292 --> 00:18:07,919
used to be neighbors
with whitney,
369
00:18:07,962 --> 00:18:09,170
is faith evans.
370
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:14,133
The audience
is on your side, robin.
371
00:18:14,135 --> 00:18:15,885
You know,
I do think it's faith,
372
00:18:15,929 --> 00:18:17,428
but no matter who it is,
373
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:20,139
how lucky are we
to have you on this season?
374
00:18:20,141 --> 00:18:21,474
- I mean,
we've been so blessed.
- Yeah.
375
00:18:21,476 --> 00:18:23,935
So blessed.
376
00:18:23,937 --> 00:18:28,439
And we just witnessed
one of the best performances
on television.
377
00:18:28,483 --> 00:18:30,775
- Robin: Yeah!
- Great job, skunk.
378
00:18:30,819 --> 00:18:35,780
Now head on backstage,
because you get to perform again
with michael bolton.
379
00:18:35,824 --> 00:18:40,159
So, guys, I mean,
this is insanely competitive.
380
00:18:40,161 --> 00:18:43,162
This might be the closest
competitors we've ever seen.
381
00:18:43,206 --> 00:18:44,872
They're both really strong
in their lanes.
382
00:18:44,916 --> 00:18:48,126
Nicole: Yeah,
the skunk is, like, soulful,
takes us to church,
383
00:18:48,128 --> 00:18:52,255
but then the bull is
the everything entertainer.
384
00:18:52,298 --> 00:18:54,257
This feels like
the season finale...
385
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:56,217
- It does.
- And it's just group a.
386
00:18:56,261 --> 00:18:59,762
Hey, skunk, judge mathis here.
387
00:18:59,764 --> 00:19:02,348
I see you doing your thing
on "masked singer,"
388
00:19:02,392 --> 00:19:04,892
and I'm sure out
of all those competitors,
389
00:19:04,936 --> 00:19:08,938
nobody will be able to stand up
to the heat you're bringing.
390
00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:10,439
So good luck to you,
391
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:14,318
and go out there and show them
that your stuff don't stink.
392
00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:17,321
♪ who is that?
393
00:19:20,618 --> 00:19:22,285
It's me, miss masky.
394
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:24,662
Before we get to see
bull's dynamic duet,
395
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:28,291
he left me this far-out clue
that'll have you seeing stars.

Can you figure it out
before it jets away?
397

Whoo!
398
00:19:34,716 --> 00:19:36,090
♪ who is that?
399
00:19:36,134 --> 00:19:39,594
Welcome back
to "the masked singer"
group a finals.
400
00:19:39,637 --> 00:19:41,345
Before we go any further,
401
00:19:41,389 --> 00:19:44,307
let's take a look at what
the panel is competing for,
402
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:48,519
the highly coveted
golden ear trophy.
403
00:19:48,563 --> 00:19:52,106
That's what
they fighting for, y'all,
404
00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:53,566
the golden ear trophy.
405
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:55,276
Jenny has two at home,
406
00:19:55,278 --> 00:19:59,405
but ken and nicole are in
the lead for this year's trophy.
407
00:19:59,449 --> 00:20:01,532
- Whoa! Jenny!
- Nick: Oh, my goodness.
408
00:20:01,576 --> 00:20:02,867
- Jenny!
- Jenny!
409
00:20:02,869 --> 00:20:04,619
- Ken: Jenny!
- Robin: Poor men in black.
410
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:06,204
I am so sorry.
411
00:20:06,247 --> 00:20:09,290
- Oh, my goodness.
- Jenny, get ahold of yourself.
412
00:20:09,334 --> 00:20:11,334
- Ken: Oh, my goodness.
- Nick: My goodness.
413
00:20:13,630 --> 00:20:17,465
- Whoa!
- Whoa!
414
00:20:17,508 --> 00:20:20,134
Hey, more importantly,
is the trophy okay?
415
00:20:20,136 --> 00:20:22,678
Put it down, ken.
416
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,473
And now let's get back
to our group a finals.
417
00:20:25,516 --> 00:20:28,017
The bull and the skunk are
getting mic-ed up backstage,
418
00:20:28,019 --> 00:20:29,977
preparing for
their show-stopping duets.
419
00:20:30,021 --> 00:20:33,648
How does our bovine contender
feel about his journey so far...
420
00:20:33,691 --> 00:20:35,191
Yeah!
421
00:20:35,235 --> 00:20:36,150
...As he prepares
for his collaboration
422
00:20:36,402 --> 00:20:39,320
with "masked singer" alum
jesse mccartney?
423
00:20:39,364 --> 00:20:42,198
- Whoo!
- Let's find out.
424
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,119
Crowd:
Bull! Bull! Bull! Bull!
425
00:20:47,163 --> 00:20:50,331
The fact I'm so close
to the end of this competition,
426
00:20:50,375 --> 00:20:52,208
it's just mind-boggling to me.
427
00:20:52,252 --> 00:20:56,629
I'm a person who's never
really believed in my voice,
428
00:20:56,631 --> 00:20:58,714
and I'm gonna be honest,
429
00:20:58,758 --> 00:21:02,843
when I first saw the bull,
I was not 100% sold on it.
430
00:21:02,887 --> 00:21:07,139
It didn't really feel like
it resonated with who I am.
431
00:21:07,183 --> 00:21:10,977
♪ tell me,
did venus blow your mind? ♪
432
00:21:11,020 --> 00:21:13,145
can I ask you, were you nervous?
Are you nervous?
433
00:21:13,189 --> 00:21:16,190
Every single time.
434
00:21:16,234 --> 00:21:17,817
- Wow.
- Wow.
435
00:21:18,236 --> 00:21:22,196
But with every round,
I discovered what I had
in common with the bull.
436
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,157
I am tough, I'm a romantic,
437
00:21:25,201 --> 00:21:26,575
I'm a fighter.
438
00:21:28,496 --> 00:21:31,038
I think that I've learned
that in order to find out
who you are,
439
00:21:31,082 --> 00:21:33,958
you have to forget everything
you already think you know,
440
00:21:34,002 --> 00:21:35,876
and this did that for me.
441
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,005
This week, I've been learning
a duet with turtle himself,
442
00:21:39,048 --> 00:21:40,631
jesse mccartney.
443
00:21:40,675 --> 00:21:41,924
My first impression of bull
444
00:21:41,968 --> 00:21:44,135
was this guy can really,
really sing.
445
00:21:44,137 --> 00:21:45,886
I really have no idea
who this guy is,
446
00:21:45,930 --> 00:21:49,849
so here I am rehearsing for
a duet with an unknown partner.
447
00:21:49,892 --> 00:21:51,267
But, hey,
I'm up for the challenge,
448
00:21:51,311 --> 00:21:53,352
and from what I've seen,
so is the bull.
449
00:21:53,396 --> 00:21:57,940
- I'm, like, whop, bop.
It's very extra.
- Okay.
450
00:21:57,984 --> 00:22:00,151
They ain't ready for it.

00:22:00,194 --> 00:22:04,238

00:25:05,296 --> 00:25:07,379
and, jesse,
we loved you as the turtle,
508
00:25:07,423 --> 00:25:09,673
but that handsome smile
and that voice.
509
00:25:09,717 --> 00:25:12,510
- I mean, come on.
- So good to see you guys.
510
00:25:12,512 --> 00:25:16,305
This entire experience
feels like coming back
to an old family.
511
00:25:16,307 --> 00:25:18,599
I'm just so happy that I could
say I was a part of it.
512
00:25:18,601 --> 00:25:20,476
- I love it.
- You're family!
513
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,020
I mean, he's amazing. I think
he's gonna go all the way.
514
00:25:23,064 --> 00:25:25,272
Ken: Wow.
515
00:25:25,316 --> 00:25:27,358
You know, coming off the show,
I have a lot of empathy.
516
00:25:27,401 --> 00:25:30,027
You know, with the costume,
I know how hard it is.
517
00:25:30,071 --> 00:25:32,988
This even looks heavier than
the turtle outfit to move.
518
00:25:33,032 --> 00:25:35,699
And I know that you're doing
splits and everything,
519
00:25:35,743 --> 00:25:40,162
like, I can't even imagine,
you know? So kudos to you.
520
00:25:40,164 --> 00:25:42,331
Maybe I'll make a robin thicke
dad joke in this moment.
521
00:25:42,375 --> 00:25:43,374
Go for it.
522
00:25:43,417 --> 00:25:45,251
So I don't know
who this bull is,
523
00:25:45,294 --> 00:25:46,877
but it ain't his first rodeo.
524
00:25:46,879 --> 00:25:48,504
- Oh!
- Ay!
525
00:25:48,548 --> 00:25:50,214
- Yeah!
- Robin, you can have that one.
526
00:25:50,258 --> 00:25:51,590
Nicole: That's right.
527
00:25:51,968 --> 00:25:55,469
All right, thank you so much.
Ladies and gentlemen,
jesse mccartney.
528
00:25:55,513 --> 00:25:57,346
Thank you, guys.
529
00:25:58,474 --> 00:25:59,890
Jesse!
530
00:25:59,892 --> 00:26:02,226
- And of course, the bull!
- Bull!
531
00:26:02,270 --> 00:26:03,852
You guys can head on backstage.
532
00:26:03,896 --> 00:26:07,106
Help him out!
Bull, await your fate,
533
00:26:07,149 --> 00:26:09,358
'cause it's almost time
for the big vote.
534
00:26:10,945 --> 00:26:15,447
Singing duet
with the jesse mccartney,
it was so much fun.
535
00:26:15,491 --> 00:26:18,993
I'm hoping that singing with
the turtle may be good luck.
536
00:26:19,036 --> 00:26:22,413
Nick: Next,
skunk duets with a legend
537
00:26:22,415 --> 00:26:25,040
before the final vote
of group a.
538
00:26:25,075 --> 00:26:28,168
The closest votes
in "masked singer" history.
539
00:26:28,212 --> 00:26:30,254
Oh!
540
00:26:34,385 --> 00:26:36,427
Nick: Next week,
tune in for more duets
541
00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:39,138
and a "masked singer" first,
a pussycat doll onstage.
542
00:26:39,140 --> 00:26:41,140
But it wasn't easy
to pull off.
543
00:26:41,183 --> 00:26:44,393
For the behind the scenes
scoop, head to tmz.Com.
544
00:26:48,399 --> 00:26:51,984
Welcome back
to "the masked singer"
group a finals.
545
00:26:52,028 --> 00:26:53,652
Next up is skunk.
546
00:26:53,696 --> 00:26:57,448
As she prepares for her
michael bolton collaboration,
547
00:26:57,491 --> 00:27:00,451
how does the ultimate diva
feel about her journey so far?
548
00:27:00,494 --> 00:27:02,036
Let's find out.
549
00:27:05,458 --> 00:27:08,917
You know,
it's been a while since
I've done anything like this.
550
00:27:08,961 --> 00:27:13,797
My focus lately
has been on my family,
especially my youngest son.
551
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:18,010
He's unique,
and faces challenges
others maybe don't,
552
00:27:18,054 --> 00:27:22,097
but getting to see
the world through his eyes
has been so touching.
553
00:27:22,141 --> 00:27:25,392
It actually gave me
the courage to do this,
554
00:27:25,436 --> 00:27:28,562
to put myself out there
in a crazy skunk costume.
555
00:27:28,606 --> 00:27:29,647

I've ever witnessed
in my life.
568
00:27:55,675 --> 00:27:58,300
I've had such a great time
performing again,
569
00:27:58,344 --> 00:28:01,679
and I'm not ready
for it to end tonight.
570
00:28:01,681 --> 00:28:05,099
I'm really excited
to be singing a duet
with michael bolton.
571
00:28:05,142 --> 00:28:07,142
The key to a great duet
is chemistry,
572
00:28:07,144 --> 00:28:09,019
so it's a little challenging
573
00:28:09,021 --> 00:28:10,479
because we can't
see each other
574
00:28:10,481 --> 00:28:11,522
and make eye contact.
575
00:28:11,565 --> 00:28:12,898
But she's a great,
576
00:28:12,942 --> 00:28:13,899
her voice is great,
577
00:28:13,943 --> 00:28:15,109
so it's a total pleasure.
578
00:28:15,152 --> 00:28:16,360
I have tried to make sure
579
00:28:16,445 --> 00:28:19,029
that nothing stunk
about the performance.
580
00:28:19,073 --> 00:28:20,322
Yeah, thank you very much.

00:28:20,366 --> 00:28:22,074

It's an honor to be on

True indeed.

I couldn't hear the last thing
you said. What was that?

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
I heard you.

You're very kind.

What I have to say is,
first stop, "masked singer."
645
00:31:19,461 --> 00:31:22,880
second stop will be
skunk/michael bolton tour,
646
00:31:22,923 --> 00:31:25,215
- and we're gonna be
there front row.
- We'll be there.
647
00:31:25,217 --> 00:31:27,885
- That was amazing.
- Okay, you said it.

- We love you, michael.
- Thank you so much.
649
00:31:29,847 --> 00:31:31,179
That was a blast for me.
650
00:31:31,557 --> 00:31:35,017
I mean, the skunk has been
my favorite singer
this whole season.
651
00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:37,436
- Jenny: Yes!
- Robin: It's a pleasure
to have you here, brother.
652
00:31:37,479 --> 00:31:40,898
I never thought or imagined
it would be so great
653
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:43,108
to be able to sing with skunk.
654
00:31:43,152 --> 00:31:45,986
You were such a pleasure
to sing with.
655
00:31:46,030 --> 00:31:47,988
- Thank you. Likewise.
- Thanks for having me.
656
00:31:48,032 --> 00:31:51,033
- It's an honor.
- One of the things she did say
657
00:31:51,076 --> 00:31:54,620
is that this probably
isn't your first time
performing together.
658
00:31:54,622 --> 00:31:56,288
- Oh.
- In the package, she said it,
if you were listening.
659
00:31:56,707 --> 00:31:59,416
- Oh, she said in the package.
- You wasn't paying attention
to the package, ken?
660
00:31:59,418 --> 00:32:02,586
I was enthralled
with michael bolton, nick.
661
00:32:04,089 --> 00:32:06,590
I apologize as well.
Sit your ass down.
662
00:32:06,634 --> 00:32:09,009
- Okay, I'm sorry.
- We've got company,
and you up here acting up.
663
00:32:09,053 --> 00:32:11,219
All right, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
664
00:32:11,263 --> 00:32:13,847
So do you have any idea
who this could possibly be?
665
00:32:13,891 --> 00:32:17,976
- I got zip. Zilch.
- Zip and zilch, indeed.
666
00:32:18,020 --> 00:32:20,020
We're gonna find out sooner
or later, right, y'all?
667
00:32:20,064 --> 00:32:24,232
Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time for the skunk
668
00:32:24,276 --> 00:32:27,486
and the one and only
michael bolton.
669
00:32:27,529 --> 00:32:30,238
Thank you for being a part
of our group a finals.
670
00:32:30,282 --> 00:32:33,367
And, of course, the skunk
ripped it down once again.
671
00:32:35,204 --> 00:32:37,162
We'll see the skunk
for the next big vote.
672
00:32:37,164 --> 00:32:40,123
- Skunk! Skunk! Skunk!
- I absolutely enjoyed

performing
with michael bolton.
674
00:32:41,335 --> 00:32:43,293
The first time
we performed together
675
00:32:43,337 --> 00:32:44,753
was actually at a party,
676
00:32:44,797 --> 00:32:47,297
and I'm not even sure
if he remembers that night.
677
00:32:47,341 --> 00:32:50,258
He kept saying,
"I wish I knew who you were."
678
00:32:53,389 --> 00:32:54,471
♪ who is that?
679
00:32:58,477 --> 00:33:02,354
Welcome back
to "the masked singer"
group a finals.
680
00:33:02,398 --> 00:33:06,233
I'm here with the bull
and the skunk.
681
00:33:06,276 --> 00:33:07,693
Whoo!
682
00:33:07,736 --> 00:33:10,028
They've done all they can
and left it all on the stage
683
00:33:10,072 --> 00:33:11,279
with their celebrity duets,
684
00:33:11,365 --> 00:33:14,950
but now someone's journey
will come to an end.
685
00:33:14,994 --> 00:33:18,161
Nerve-wracking.
I'm legit nervous.
686
00:33:18,205 --> 00:33:20,205
It's time
for the audience, panel,
687
00:33:20,249 --> 00:33:23,000
and our super fans
across america
688
00:33:23,002 --> 00:33:25,127
to vote for their favorite.
689
00:33:25,129 --> 00:33:28,338
- Whoo!
- ( fanfare playing )
690
00:33:35,597 --> 00:33:38,015
I'm so nervous, ken.
691
00:33:38,058 --> 00:33:42,144
Only one can advance
to the finale,
692
00:33:42,146 --> 00:33:44,813
and the other has to unmask.
693
00:33:44,815 --> 00:33:47,858
Jenny: I hate that we have
to say goodbye to somebody.
694
00:33:47,901 --> 00:33:50,777
The results are in.
695
00:33:50,821 --> 00:33:54,573
In one of the closest votes
in "masked singer" history...
696
00:33:54,616 --> 00:33:56,616
- Wow.
- What?
697
00:33:56,660 --> 00:33:59,327
The winner of group a is...
698
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:00,620
- Uh-oh.
- Oh!
699
00:34:00,664 --> 00:34:03,373
( dramatic music playing )
700
00:34:08,672 --> 00:34:12,132
it's so hard!
Oh, it's gonna be hard!
It's gonna be hard!
701
00:34:12,176 --> 00:34:13,467
It's gonna be hard!
702
00:34:16,346 --> 00:34:19,181
The bull!
703
00:34:21,310 --> 00:34:24,144
- Congratulations.
- Wow, wow!
704
00:34:24,146 --> 00:34:26,354
We'll see you in our finale
705
00:34:26,398 --> 00:34:29,858
taking on queen of hearts
or banana split.
706
00:34:29,902 --> 00:34:35,906
- How do you feel?
- Uh, there are no words
to describe this.
707
00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:38,742
I haven't really
believed in myself that much
in this competition,
708
00:34:38,786 --> 00:34:41,912
but now I know
I've got what it takes
to make it to the end,
709
00:34:41,955 --> 00:34:44,581
and I'm so stoked.
710
00:34:44,625 --> 00:34:47,125
Nick: Now go ahead
and give skunk some love.
711
00:34:47,127 --> 00:34:50,128
- We love you, skunk!
- Now hit the lair.
712
00:34:50,130 --> 00:34:52,547
The finals are gonna be
off the chain.
713
00:34:52,591 --> 00:34:55,926
We gotta keep it going
for skunk.
714
00:34:55,969 --> 00:34:58,053
We hate to see you go,
715
00:34:58,097 --> 00:35:00,806
but we love that we finally
get to see who you are!
716
00:35:00,849 --> 00:35:02,557
Whoo!
717
00:35:03,018 --> 00:35:06,353
However, we must find out what
our panel's first impression
guesses are first though.
718
00:35:06,396 --> 00:35:10,148
- Oh! Oh, snap.
- No, let's skip that today.
719
00:35:10,150 --> 00:35:13,235
No, we're not gonna skip it.
Men in black, bring them out.
720
00:35:17,741 --> 00:35:22,452
Now a reminder, nicole and ken
are tied with one point each.
721
00:35:22,496 --> 00:35:25,372
So this golden ear trophy
could be either one of yours.
722
00:35:25,415 --> 00:35:27,290
Let's see what we got over here.
723
00:35:27,334 --> 00:35:31,086
Ken, your first impression
guess was anita baker.
724
00:35:31,130 --> 00:35:32,420
Robin: Okay.
725
00:35:32,464 --> 00:35:33,922
Nick: Are you sticking
with that?
726
00:35:33,966 --> 00:35:35,924
You know, no.
727
00:35:35,968 --> 00:35:38,885
With tonight's
whitney houston story,
728
00:35:38,929 --> 00:35:42,430
I really think
this is mary j. Blige,
729
00:35:42,432 --> 00:35:44,432
and that's how
you pronounce it, nick.
730
00:35:44,434 --> 00:35:46,351
I've been correcting you
all day.
731
00:35:46,395 --> 00:35:50,438
- I bet you have.
- Ugh! It's blige.
732
00:35:50,482 --> 00:35:53,183
All right, now, jenny,
you were once our clue expert.
733
00:35:53,185 --> 00:35:56,903
You said gloria gaynor
and roberta flack.
734
00:35:56,947 --> 00:35:59,322
- Robin: And?
- Nicole: Uh-oh.
735
00:35:59,366 --> 00:36:01,616
- There's two people in there.
- That's what I'm saying.
736
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:04,286
It's "guess" not "guesses."
737
00:36:04,329 --> 00:36:07,205
when I really don't know,
I just do "all of the above."
738
00:36:07,249 --> 00:36:10,667
- wow. That's amazing.
- Well, I mean, the skunk
has an enormous tail.
739
00:36:10,711 --> 00:36:13,086
Maybe gloria gaynor's
back there somewhere.
740
00:36:13,130 --> 00:36:15,463
So, clearly,
you can't have both.
741
00:36:15,507 --> 00:36:17,757
You know, weeks ago,
742
00:36:17,801 --> 00:36:20,886
the brilliant will.I.Am
had mentioned mary j. Blige.
743
00:36:20,888 --> 00:36:23,430
And I thought that sounds right.
744
00:36:23,473 --> 00:36:24,764
Even though ken
just said the same thing
745
00:36:24,808 --> 00:36:25,599
and I'm kind of
copying off of him,
746
00:36:25,851 --> 00:36:28,935
I'm going to go
with mary j. Blige.
747
00:36:28,979 --> 00:36:30,562
Ken: Good guess.
Good guess, jenny.
748
00:36:30,606 --> 00:36:34,149
- Thanks, ken! Pow.
- Nick: Now, nicole,
749
00:36:34,193 --> 00:36:37,694
I guess not following the rules
is quite contagious.
750
00:36:37,738 --> 00:36:41,281
- Yes! Sisters!
That's what we are.
- Ken: Nicole.
751
00:36:41,325 --> 00:36:44,075
- Did I do the same thing?
- You believed it to be
752
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:47,662
deborah cox, fantasia,
and mary j. Blige.
753
00:36:47,664 --> 00:36:51,541
- Three? Oh, my god.
That's hilarious.
- Come on, man!
754
00:36:51,585 --> 00:36:52,918
- What is going on
around here?
- Come on, man!
755
00:36:52,961 --> 00:36:54,586
- I'm open.
- So are you sticking
756
00:36:54,630 --> 00:36:56,421
with any of those guesses?
757
00:36:56,465 --> 00:36:59,090
I am not, actually.
758
00:36:59,134 --> 00:37:00,383
After that whitney story,
759
00:37:00,427 --> 00:37:03,253
I am checking
into that heartbreak hotel.
760
00:37:03,255 --> 00:37:05,096
This is faith evans!
761
00:37:05,140 --> 00:37:09,267
All right.
She said it with confidence.
762
00:37:09,311 --> 00:37:12,062
- Faith evans!
- Mr. Robin thicke.
763
00:37:12,105 --> 00:37:14,898
Who's 0 for everything
so far this season.
764
00:37:14,942 --> 00:37:16,942
- But we love you.
- Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
765
00:37:16,985 --> 00:37:20,153
His first impression guess,
faith evans.
766
00:37:20,155 --> 00:37:22,864
Jenny:
'ey! I like it.
767
00:37:22,908 --> 00:37:24,407
Robin:
Well, you know, like I said,
768
00:37:24,451 --> 00:37:26,993
all the clues that we've seen,
new york city,
769
00:37:27,037 --> 00:37:29,037
we've seen her tell
a heartbreaking tale
770
00:37:29,081 --> 00:37:30,455
of not getting to say goodbye
771
00:37:30,499 --> 00:37:33,458
to somebody who passed
in her life many years ago.
772
00:37:33,502 --> 00:37:35,252
I believe that the person
that she didn't get
773
00:37:35,295 --> 00:37:38,838
to say goodbye to
was the notorious b.I.G.
774
00:37:38,882 --> 00:37:40,257
I just love her,
I love the voice,
775
00:37:40,259 --> 00:37:42,425
and I really do hope
that this is faith evans.
776
00:37:42,469 --> 00:37:44,636
- Nicole: Yes!
- Well done, robin.
777
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,930
- That's amazing.
- Well done. Well said.
778
00:37:46,974 --> 00:37:49,224
Panel, you have made
your final guesses,
779
00:37:49,268 --> 00:37:51,810
and we'll see
if any of you are correct.
780
00:37:51,853 --> 00:37:55,355
Skunk, it's time to show
your famous face.
781
00:37:55,357 --> 00:37:56,648
Whoo!
782
00:37:56,692 --> 00:37:57,607

808
00:39:06,178 --> 00:39:09,262
- Such a pleasure and honor...
- Thank you.
809
00:39:09,264 --> 00:39:11,514
...To have the icon
in the building.
810
00:39:11,558 --> 00:39:13,141
- Wow!
- Ken: Yes!
811
00:39:13,185 --> 00:39:16,186
- Thank you, guys.
- So beautiful.
812
00:39:16,188 --> 00:39:18,271
- Nick: My goodness.
- Hey, hey.
813
00:39:18,273 --> 00:39:20,148
Singing the roof
off of this place.
814
00:39:20,192 --> 00:39:24,152
Wow, the skunk--
this is a lot of work.
815
00:39:24,196 --> 00:39:27,322
However, it was so much fun.
816
00:39:27,366 --> 00:39:29,741
Man, you blessed us
with each and every performance.
817
00:39:29,785 --> 00:39:32,077
- I mean, panel,
let's talk to y'all.
- Thank you.
818
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:34,412
- But we gotta start with
the man who got on...
- Let's go, robin!
819
00:39:34,456 --> 00:39:36,998
...The board with
his first impression guess!
820
00:39:37,042 --> 00:39:39,334
- Yeah, I got one right!
- Yeah!
821
00:39:39,378 --> 00:39:41,503
- You knew it.
- Thank you.
822
00:39:41,546 --> 00:39:43,338
Honestly, you know
how I feel about you, faith.
823
00:39:43,382 --> 00:39:47,050
Every time I see you out,
there's just nothing
but outpouring love
824
00:39:47,094 --> 00:39:48,426
and appreciation
and gratitude.
825
00:39:48,428 --> 00:39:50,845
I love you.
You know I love you.
826
00:39:50,889 --> 00:39:51,930
Robin: So there's
nothing else, really.
827
00:39:51,973 --> 00:39:53,973
I've said it every time
she sang.
828
00:39:54,017 --> 00:39:55,850
The goosebumps,
the soul, the passion,
829
00:39:55,894 --> 00:39:58,353
you are and will always be
one my favorite singers ever,
830
00:39:58,397 --> 00:40:01,022
- so thank you.
- Thank you, robin.
831
00:40:01,066 --> 00:40:04,943
We are privileged and honored
to have you here,
832
00:40:04,945 --> 00:40:09,989
and we know that
you took some time off
to take care of your family,
833
00:40:09,991 --> 00:40:12,033
so how does it feel
to be back onstage?
834
00:40:12,077 --> 00:40:15,203
Um, it feels good.
It feels like I never left.
835
00:40:15,247 --> 00:40:16,955
Like,
"this what I do.
What you mean?"
836
00:40:16,998 --> 00:40:20,708
it feels like I came back
with about 20 extra
pounds on my back.
837
00:40:20,752 --> 00:40:24,796
But my son ryder, he's 14,
he's on the autism spectrum.
838
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,341
So we've been
kind of home-schooling him
for three years.
839
00:40:28,385 --> 00:40:32,053
So I really
haven't done nothing except
for be a mom to him.
840
00:40:32,097 --> 00:40:36,182
- Wow.
- So this was my first time
actually saying,
841
00:40:36,226 --> 00:40:38,143
"okay, I'm gonna actually
do something."
842
00:40:38,145 --> 00:40:39,436
- robin: Yes.
- Nick: Yes.
843
00:40:39,771 --> 00:40:43,231
I reminded myself
that when it's time to do
what I gotta do,
844
00:40:43,275 --> 00:40:45,400
I gotta make it do what it do.
845
00:40:45,402 --> 00:40:47,944
- Yes! Yes!
- Come on now. Come on now.
846
00:40:47,988 --> 00:40:49,404
When it's time to do
what I gotta do,
847
00:40:49,406 --> 00:40:51,322
both: I gotta make it
do what it do!
848
00:40:51,366 --> 00:40:52,615
Nick: I love it.
849
00:40:52,951 --> 00:40:55,994
Nicole:
If you don't mind me asking,
in the package you said
850
00:40:56,037 --> 00:40:58,455
that you didn't get to speak
to someone at a party.
851
00:40:58,498 --> 00:41:00,123
What was that story?
852
00:41:00,167 --> 00:41:02,333
That was the night
that my ex-husband
853
00:41:02,377 --> 00:41:05,336
the late great
christopher wallace
passed away.
854
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:09,257
We were at the same party,
and we were separated
at the time,
855
00:41:09,301 --> 00:41:11,551
and, you know,
just kind of being immature.
856
00:41:11,595 --> 00:41:14,637
And, you know, I knew that
we were supposed to go
to an afterparty,
857
00:41:14,681 --> 00:41:17,015
so I'm like, "well,
I'll speak to him then."
858
00:41:17,058 --> 00:41:19,934
and on the way to that party
is when I got news
859
00:41:19,978 --> 00:41:21,352
that I should
go to the hospital
860
00:41:21,396 --> 00:41:23,271
because something
happened to him.
861
00:41:23,273 --> 00:41:27,734
And we truly appreciate
you sharing that story...
862
00:41:27,777 --> 00:41:30,653
- Yes.
- ...Your passion, your pain,
and your heart with us.
863
00:41:30,697 --> 00:41:34,657
Thank you to everybody
who has just been
a skunk supporter.
864
00:41:34,701 --> 00:41:37,076
I appreciate it.
865
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,412
And to the panel,
thank you guys so much
866
00:41:39,456 --> 00:41:41,164
for the great compliments,
you know?
867
00:41:41,166 --> 00:41:42,916
You make a girl feel good,
you know what I'm saying?
868
00:41:42,959 --> 00:41:45,084
- Nick: Real talk!
- Yeah.
869
00:41:45,128 --> 00:41:47,921
We gotta say, give it up
for the mom, the icon,
the legendary singer,
870
00:41:47,964 --> 00:41:50,632
the one and only faith evans.
871
00:41:50,675 --> 00:41:52,592
Great job. So great.
872
00:41:52,636 --> 00:41:55,011
Next week,
it's the group b finals.
873
00:41:55,055 --> 00:41:58,139
It's banana split
versus queen of hearts.
874
00:41:58,141 --> 00:42:00,892
Who will end up in our finale
against the bull?
875
00:42:00,936 --> 00:42:03,102
You do not want to miss this.
876
00:42:03,146 --> 00:42:05,605
Now you ready to do
what it do?
877
00:42:05,607 --> 00:42:07,023
- I think so.
- All right.
878
00:42:07,067 --> 00:42:09,108
"just give me the microphone
and get out the way."
879
00:42:09,152 --> 00:42:14,614
right now, give it up
for the artist formerly known
as the skunk,
880
00:42:14,616 --> 00:42:16,908
it's the queen, faith evans!
