Macaron Unmasked as Bethany Hamilton
The contestant who received the least amount of votes on Wednesday’s show had to be unmasked at the end of the night. That contestant turned out to be Macaron, who performed “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen during the episode.
Macaron was introduced in her clue package by Masked Ambassador Willie Robertson, who appeared as Mallard in Season 6 of the show. One of her clues was a T-shirt with the word “unstoppable.”
Final guesses from the panel included Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ariana Madix. However, only Rita Ora and Jenny McCarthy were correct in guessing that it was surfer Bethany Hamilton. Ora recalled watching a documentary about Hamilton called Unstoppable, which detailed how she returned to surfing after losing her arm in a shark attack.
