Fans poke fun at 'The Masked Singer' judges for guessing Gypsy Rose Blanchard would be Macaron
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On the November 1 episode of 'The Masked Singer,' judges once again showed their habitual liking towards wildly speculative guesses, but this time their guesses spread laughs as they attempted to unveil the identity of Macaron.
Before the big reveal, some of the judges' guesses took a surprising twist toward famous and controversial names like Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Monica Lewinsky.
Macaron’s persona fools judges into thinking it was Gypsy Rose Blanchard or Monica Lewinsky
According to The Wrap, during the show, panelist Ken Jeong locked onto clues that mentioned “redemption” and “a road to recovery,” leading him to a sensational conclusion: Macaron could be Gypsy Rose Blanchard.
Known for her traumatic past and the criminal case involving her mother Clauddine Dee Dee Blanchard, Gypsy Rose is often a name that shocks audiences and Jeong’s guess did just that.
He reasoned, "Rose is literally in the clues, and AnnaSophia Robb is in the clues because she starred in 'The Act' which was based on [Gypsy's] life, which she is now rebuilding and redeeming. I think Macaron could be Gypsy Rose Blanchard”
Surprisingly, fellow judge Rita Ora briefly entertained the notion, saying she had thought the same while host Nick Cannon played along, calling it "not impossible."
Though Macaron’s backstory involved surfing and a cheery persona, McCarthy argued, “The girl I’m thinking of, I have so much sympathy for because she went through so much."
Not one to miss a moment for her own bold guesses, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg tossed another unexpected name into the mix: “I can’t believe I’m saying this out loud, OK? But, could this be Monica Lewinsky?”
She went on to elaborate her unconventional logic, citing “a rose” and even connecting it to the “rose garden at the White House” as a nod to Lewinsky’s time working there.
Surfer Bethany Hamilton surprises judges as the Macaron
For the celebrity beneath the mask, the truth turned out to be far less scandalous but no less inspiring.
Bethany Hamilton, famed surfer and author, revealed herself as Macaron. Hamilton joined the show to enjoy a unique challenge and even hinted at her love for singing to her kids at home.
The athlete admitted that singing Carly Rae Jepsen’s 'Call Me Maybe' “doesn’t necessarily reflect something that I would sing every single day, but it was a really fun song.”
“I wanted to originally do The Masked Singer just because I thought it would be fun,” Hamilton told Variety, adding “I sing to my children every day and thought maybe I’d get better at singing.”
Reflecting on her time in the costume, Hamilton admitted that the Macaron costume was “so out of my comfort zone."
She added, "I live a very simple life as far as clothing. Seeing this extravagant costume got me laughing. It was really fun to wear and so unique. We added a little bit of a hippie touch because I’m from Hawaii and my parents were hippies when they moved out here. I was rockin’ a bit of the roots.”
“I loved my costume, but it was also really challenging to move in and dance in — it was super hard,” she said, according to Variety, explaining that the dance choreography didn’t come as easily to her as riding waves.

According to outlet, Hamilton’s unmasking adds her to a roster of unmasked celebrities this season, which has so far included Natalie Imbruglia, Laverne Cox, and Marsai Martin.
This season's themes have also taken the show in new creative directions, celebrating pop culture and nostalgia with episodes devoted to icons like Barbie, Footloose, and Miley Cyrus.
