“I think I would connect with you, Nick,” Cupcake told hostNick Cannon. “We both got double trouble.”
Cannon, 41, didn’t quite understand that reference but thought it might have had something to do withhis children. “I have two sets of twins,” he said.
The panel tossed outJackée Harry, Grace Jones andTina Knowles-Lawsonas guesses for Cupcake — and her BFFJane Fondaoffered a video message to the baked good. “Last time we had dinner was a real blast, but now I’m regretting I didn’t order dessert,” Fonda, 83, said. “Give ‘em hell out there!

Queen of Hearts revealed during speed dating that they like to “read, ride motorcycles or hike” in their free time and named the Alps as their favorite place they’ve ever traveled. The royal decided they matched with Jeong, 52. “We would both have a roasting hot first date,” Queen of Hearts said.
The judges suggested Queen of Hearts could beIreland Baldwin,Miley Cyrus,Lady GagaorAshley Judd.
Mallard swam onto the stage next with a performance of Flo Rida’s “My House” that they dedicated to their wife, whom the duck revealed in their clue package they met in fourth grade. “My wife’s so supportive,” Mallard added.
During speed dating, Mallard namedOlivia Newton-Johnas their first celebrity crush and called their dimples their favorite physical feature on themselves. Mallard decided they’d date McCarthy “because I feel like we could sit on the couch and get on the same wavelength.”
Jon Bon Jovi,Mario Lopez,Freddie Prinze Jr.andNick Offermanall came up as possibilities for Mallard.
To close out date night, Cannon brought out Group B’s first wildcard contestant: Caterpillar. “Ultimately, my life has been all about metamorphosis,” the insect said in their clue package that showed a basketball and the Great Lakes. Caterpillar shared that they left home at a young age, slept in their car and “started stealing to make ends meet.”
“My parents used to tell me I was going to end up in jail, and boy, were they right,” Caterpillar admitted.
The bug then gave a touching rendition ofBeyoncé’s “If I Were a Boy” that McCarthy, 48, called “a frontrunner performance.” Caterpillar — who revealed during speed dating that they prefer texting to calling and have been cheated on — thought they connected most with Thicke.
The judges thought they picked up boy band vibes from Caterpillar, suspecting the Backstreet Boys’Howie DoroughorAJ McLeanmight be underneath the pink and yellow outfit.
Then it came time for the panel, studio audience and superfans at home to cast their vote for their favorite performance. With the votes counted, Cannon announced that Cupcake had received the least amount and would have to unmask.
When the sugary confection popped off their costume, The Pointer Sisters’ Ruth Pointer — whom Scherzinger guessed! — appeared.
