The Masked Singer season 9 quarter finals aired on Fox this Wednesday, May 3, at 8 pm ET. The episode was themed British Invasion Night, where the remaining four competitors had to sing British songs to earn a spot in the semi-finals. At the end of the night, UFO was voted out by the studio audience, despite her fantastic performance of Amy Winehouse’s Tears Dry on Their Own. This meant that Macaw, California Roll, and Medusa reached the next stage of the competition.
The UFO entered the competition in Week 9 (group 3) and was easily able to defeat the reigning winner at the time, Lamp aka actress Melissa Joan Hart. She also impressed the judges with her special performance of Kygo’s Stargazing in week 10. Some of her clues included:
- The runway
- Making posing for the locals
- Down to Earth
- Sister Ships
- The statement “Look out universe, this is no model plane.”
- Princess Tiara
- Planet wide
- A sewing machine
- Career focused on how I look physically
The Masked Singer fans were easily able to connect the dots and predicted that the UFO was former Miss USA and Miss 2012 Universe Olivia Culpo. They recognized her energetic voice and felt that Tiara had hinted at a beauty pageant.
The sewing machine and poses gave a direct clue to Olivia's career as a fashion influencer and model. She was also seen in a TLC show called The Culpo Sisters with her sisters, which represented her 'sister ships.'
The Masked Singer fans praise Olivia's performance in the competition
The judges were very impressed by Olivia’s voice. Jenny praised her by saying:
"You command the attention from the audience — you are so fun!"
Nicole guessed that the UFO was Lily Collins while Ken said that she was Rebecca Romijn. Robin guessed that UFO was Molly Sims. The singer even gave a big hint before leaving the stage by saying:
"I’m beyond proud represent and come from the USA!"
The Masked Singer fans were impressed with Olivia's performance and personality and were also not too surprised when the UFO was unmasked.
