It wasNicole Scherzingerwho reigned supreme this week, though.
She had initially put Roberta Flack, but tonight changed her guess to Ruth Pointer of the Pointer Sisters.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Are you excited for the big reveal tonight?
RUTH POINTER:Oh my god.
I’m really, really happy that it worked out the way it did.
What was your reaction when they asked you to do the show?
I was excited as hell, are you kidding me?
Because I had been sort of hammering at my manager to get on the show.
It looks like so much fun."
No one sees no one.
And was the Cupcake the costume you had always envisioned?
My sister and I were thinking we’d be some kind of trees or something.
We were just sort of throwing things out.
So that’s how that happened.
It wasn’t much of a stretch for us.
We loved the costumes when we saw the drawings.
Were you surprised that Nicole Scherzinger guessed you?
And she comes from a girl group, and I come from one.
I think she just kind of put those things together.
So I think I wasn’t that surprised when she guessed it.
What’d you think of some of those other guesses?
Oh my god, I was dying inside that Cupcake costume.
RuPaul and Tina Knowles and Roberta Flack.
I was like, “Okay!”
[Laughs] Yeah, it’s so much fun when they attempt to guess who you are.
I was just like, “No, those people don’t sound anything like me!”
Now that you’ve done it, what advice would you give to future contestants?
I’ll just tell them to go for it.
It’s a lot of fun.
The people accommodate you in every way that you could possibly need them for.
It’s a fun time.
It’s like Halloween on steroids.
What was the hardest part of doing the show?
I don’t know if there’s any hard part really.
The stage is a little intimidating because it’s so big and it was like black lacquer.
I mean there was nothing that I thought was difficult, you know what I mean?
I mean, I would do it again in a heartbeat.
It’s a fun show and the people are wonderful.
So it’s safe to say the experience lived up to your lofty expectations?
