‘The Masked Singer’: Lovebird Says His Costume Reflects His Journey Of “Self Acceptance”

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from Wednesday’s episode of The Masked Singer, including the identity of Lovebird. After a rousing rendition of “All That You Are” by the GooGoo Dolls on Transformers night, Lovebird was the first to be sent home during a double elimination on The Masked Singer.

Even the judges agreed that Lovebird was exuding more confidence this week, but unfortunately that wasn’t enough to keep him off the chopping block.

Jenny McCarthy has another win under her belt after correctly guessing that the singer behind the mask was none other than Colton Underwood. “I had always wanted I knew I wanted to try to show it at some point and when previous offers came in, it just wasn’t the right time in my life,” the former Bachelor told Deadline of competing on the show. “When this season came up, I was like, ‘This is the season I say, yes.’ It’s something that I never thought that I would want to say yes to or be comfortable doing, but it was the experience of a lifetime and something I was so happy and grateful for.” And since McCarthy seems to have a sixth sense for reality TV stars on The Masked Singer, Underwood wasn’t surprised at all that she was able to guess his identity. “It was to be expected at that point,” he explained. “I knew she had watched my season.

I knew she was familiar with me. She had read my book. So I was like, ‘Oh, she is gonna have this figured out.'” Audiences who have been following Underwood since his reality TV journey began on The Bachelorette will know that it’s been a rocky path.
