THE CLUES: 
"I chose to become the Peacock because we both share a love for the spotlight.  When I was 5 years old I walked onto a stage for the first time, and ever since then, I was hooked! Putting on a show is in my DNA. But it's probably been awhile since your mom has had a poster of me on her bedroom wall!  And like my dear friend Michael Jackson once told me, if you are going to reinvent yourself, you have to become someone the world has never seen before.  It's never too late for this showman to make a comeback!"

Every time I win, I just gotta dance, even if it gets me in trouble!  Hippo's got game, but I also have a voice, people just haven't heard it yet.  I concur every arena that I enter, and this one won't be any different.

Week 1: Performed "Don't Stop Me Now"  <--- really good

THE CLUES:  "I am the monster because that's what the world labeled me.  I'm here to rewrite my "mixtape" to prove I'm more than just "puff and fluff."  I was the top of my game, but the game turned on me.  So I retreated into my cave.  Took a break from the public eye.  But now I'm here to set the record straight!  And show the world that no one can stop me from what I love.  So stay tuned, cuz this monster is BAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD."

The Objects:
fan, cave, dance lights, upside down, boombox

THE UNICORN

HEIGHT:  5'6
STRENGTH: Made of Magic

Week 1: Performed "Fight Song"  <- good job

THE CLUES: "Here's the story, of how I became the Unicorn.  My childhood should have been magical.  I grew up in one of the ric hest neighborhoods (Beverly Hills)...  and when I was little, I dreampt of singing.  But someone I admired told me I was tone-deaf.  All my life, people told me I wasn't worthy.  I'm not going to listen to them any longer.  No one is going to tell m e who I can or can't be.  By putting on this mask I'm showing myself, and the next generation of unicorns, that true magic comes from within.  All you have to do is believe.

The Objects:  Book, mirror, "You can't fly," "Your sparkle is distracting,"  "You're horn is too short!" .... 'You are Free" "You are Sparkle"  "You can fly"  "You are beautiful."

Third Up:  DEER vs LION*


THE DEER

HEIGHT: 6'3
STRENGTH: Longevity

Week 1: Performed "Thunder"  <---- sings very well

THE CLUES: I chose the deer because they are incredible competitive.  I always considered myself a singer, not sure everyone will agree with that.  I think it's hard for people to get past who I am and what I'm known for.  Being under the mask, people will finally hear my voice. I've been knocked down many a times.  But in the Wild Wild West, you learn how to get back up and get back in the saddle.  RAVENS BEWARE!  I'm here to win.

(Dark hair, DB says, I saw the scruff of his neck)

The Objects:  fan, FOOTBALL trophy shown twice, antler shine,  arms upward outstretched, taping up the antlers.

Male or Female:  MALE

Judges Comments:
Nicole:  I love the way you came out, you took the stage like an OG, you came out like a warrior
Robin: Sounds like an athlete or a wrestling

JUDGES ASKED:  He said he was from the Wild Wild West right?
ANSWER:  Deer replies .... "Ah....  I love horses"

Robin: That's the biggest jokey in the world....
Ken: Maybe he's associated with a team with a horse....
Robin: Maybe he's a Denver Bronco

JUDGES ASKED:  Do you currently play or have you ever played in the NFL
ANSWER: Deer replies .... "I will have to take the 5th on that..."

Judges:  That's a YES!

GUESSES:
Judges: (Robin) Stone Cold Steve Austin, (Jenny) Chuck Liddell (Nicole) Payton Manning

Mine: Payton Manning

THE LION

HEIGHT: 5'6
STRENGTH: Noble

Week 1: Performed "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody"

THE CLUES:  "I'm the Lion and I'm here to roar.  This is my chance to see me preform without any preconceived notions of who I am.  Some may say I'm Hollywood Royalty but now I'm standing on my own. And I'm stepping away from my Pride to sing my heart out. I don't see a lion as just brave and courageous, true strength comes from embracing all your vulnerabilities.  So here I am behind this mask, and I am going to show my true self for the very first time."

The Objects: throne, gold, lots of bling, mirror, cape....

Male or Female:  FEMALE

Judges Comments:
Robin: The minute she walked out on stage, her posture was perfect, her legs were in front, she shook her hips right on time, that's well trained...
Nick:  You with the hips
Ken: I have said it before, but .... Robin stop hitting on the livestock!
Jenny: If you aren't a musical artist then you "Lion" cuz that was unbelievable
Robin: The Hollywood Royalty, I could see where you can get the talent from, I don't know where to categorize you ... are you a singer cuz you sound like a singer, but the way you were strutting could be a model/actress who was trained to sing?
Jenny: I mean she said "pride"
Nicole: Yeah she said she wanted to separate from her pack
Jenny: See I'm thinking a girl group
LION SAYS:  Well in my pride, there are loooots of women
Jenny: Maybe Pussycat Dolls
Nicole: No if it were someone in my group I'd know
Robin: Fifth Harmony vibe ... it's a girl group that's recently disbanded ....
Jenny: What about Destiny's Child
Robin: Yeah the way she walked out she had that power thigh Beyonce walk like Michelle Williams or Kelly Rowland.... but I would have recognized a voice from Destiny's Child....

GUESSES:
Judges: (Jenny) Lady Gaga (<- Nicole mentioned her first), (Robin) a Fifth Harmony Girl, (Jenny) Michelle Williams or Kelly Rowland ...
