'Masked Dancer' Viewers Are So Sure They Know Who Tulip Is on the Show
As if The Masked Singer wasn't challenging enough, Fox is now making things even harder with the latest competition series The Masked Dancer.
Similar to the The Masked Singer, the goal of The Masked Dancer is to figure out the identities of 10 secret celebrities based on cryptic clues and weekly performances. The big difference? Now, viewers only have dance moves to go off of instead of vocal performances.
Needless to say, correctly guessing all 10 masked dancers will be pretty difficult. But in the spirit of trying, we're going to start with rounding up all of the best predictions for Tulip and go from there.
Who is Tulip on The Masked Dancer?
Though the clues are pretty limited right now, we've already gathered a few key facts about the bedazzled bloom:
Tulip flaunts a pink skirt made up of fabric petals.
In one promo for the show, Tulip is seen doing the "floss" dance.
A teaser for The Masked Dancer shows Tulip doing a lift with a backup dancer and showing off tap-dancing moves.
Based on that information alone, here's who the internet thinks may be hiding inside the stunning flower costume:
Zendaya
According to some fans, the acclaimed actress should be considered a prime suspect. Not only does Zendaya have experience as a backup dancer and competing on Dancing With the Stars, but her first look at the Emmys this year — where she became the youngest recipient to ever win the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series award for her role in Euphoria — was a black-and-purple tulip gown (see below).
Coincidence? Perhaps ... or, perhaps not. Only time (and more clues!) will tell!
JoJo Siwa
Before JoJo became a hit on Youtube and TikTok, she was a talented dancer on Lifetime's Dance Moms. What's more, JoJo is known for her high energy, a trait Tulip also seems to possess. Plus, JoJo appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last year where she challenged the late-night host to a dance-off (which included flossing, by the way).
While some might think it's not JoJo because of her recent participation in season 3 of The Masked Singer as T-Rex, it's totally possible that producers wanted her to be in The Masked Dancer cast, as well. Why not?
Simone Biles
Simone is an Olympian and artistic gymnast — not to mention, the gymnast with the most medals in world championship history. In other words, we have no doubt that Simone could translate her athleticism to the Masked Dancer stage. While it's not totally clear what Simone's connection to Tulip could be, we're not ruling out the all-star athlete just yet.
All in all, we think it's probably a bit too early to be declaring Tulip's identity. Rest assured, though, we'll be updating this post with more clues and theories in the weeks to come, so make sure to check back in with us soon!
