Everyone Is SO Wrong About Who the Rabbit Is on 'The Masked Singer'
So far, The Masked Singer has revealed four of the 12 secret performers - the Hippo (Antonio Brown), the Pineapple (Tommy Chong), the Deer (Terry Bradshaw), and the Poodle (Margaret Cho). While fans are slowly piecing together clues about the identities of the remaining contestants, one character seems to be stumping folks more than the rest: the Rabbit.
So, who is the Rabbit on The Masked Singer?
At first, we were so sure it was Joey Fatone from *NSYNC. But then, Joey pretty much destroyed our theory when he talked to Page Six this week.
“I … am not in that show,” Joey told reporters. “I’m not the platypus or bunny or unicorn or whatever the hell you call it.”
Well, okay then. Joey went on to say that he hadn't even heard of the show until his Twitter started "blowing up" with fans asking if he was the Rabbit. Of course, Joey could've been trying to cover up ... but it really does sound like he's out of the running.
Then, we thought it might be his *NSYNC band member JC Chasez. But why JC over everyone else? Because the Rabbit's clothing seemed to be a huge indicator. As pointed out by savvy Twitter fans, in 2004 JC released his debut solo album and on the cover of it he's rocking a white straight jacket - which is very, very similar looking to what the Rabbit donned on the first night of competition. But alas, we don't think it's him either.
Okay, if it's not a member of *NSYNC ... then who is the Rabbit?
Clues from episode four helped us really narrow down who we think the Rabbit is: Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block.
The clues all point to Jordan:
He's tall
He's quick footed
Spent most of his life on stage, but was "never alone"
Synchronized singing is his "forte"
He knocked his last performance "out of the amusement park"
As "a young cotton tail, I saw fame and everyone wanted a piece of me"
And, "every week, I get to cook up something new for you all"
For starters, Jordan is 5'11," which is arguably tall. Because he was in the famous boy band (where there's plenty of synchronized singing and never being "alone" on stage), there's no doubt that Jordan knows how to groove like a pro. So, yeah, we'd say he's pretty quick footed.
Besides all of that, many of the other clues make it obvious that we're definitely talking about Jordan. For staters, the video for his first solo song "Give It to You" was filmed at an amusement park. Then, we have the "young cotton tail" note, that indicts he has been in the industry since he was young. Jordan was 14 when he joined NKOTB, and instantly became a heartthrob.
Finally, he says that he gets to "cook up something new," which many of the judges took for meaning he is a chef. We agree it has to do with food, but Jordan recently became an investor in a restaurant in Boston called Novara, which really sealed the deal for us.
