“It wasn’t always easy growing up,” Tulip told Paula Abdul in her high-pitched voice during last week’s Group A Playoffs. “I was judged a lot and it hurt. But my best bud taught me to use those feelings whenever I compete and put it into my performance.”
As for Cotton Candy, her first two dance performances were to the songs “Glitter in the Air” by Pink and “Sour Candy” by Lady Gaga ft. Blackpink. Some of the judges’ expert guesses for the yummy contestant’s true identity have included Pink, Jenna Dewan, Julianne Hough, Tara Lipinski and Kristi Yamaguchi. Check out the Cotton Candy’s clues.
Cotton Candy received lots of early press when she required a medic after falling during an aerial stunt. The judges praised her for continuing on despite the danger, with Ken proclaiming, “I think everybody is choked up at your performance and your resilience. This was the most beautiful performance I’ve ever seen on a ‘Masked’ show.”
