The Masked Dancer | Season 1 Episode 5 | The Super Six
The Cotton Candy
This fun and fearless swing-dance partner routine, complete with a cute bumper-car grand entrance, was bursting with high energy, high confidence, and Rockettes-style high kicks. Her well-executed stage moves, which also included some gravity-defying lifts and a seemingly double-jointed backbend, once again indicated that this candy-girl is a trained professional (a dancer, an athlete, or both). “You brought your A-game. You define what The Masked Dancer is all about,” declared judge Ken Jeong.

Actress, singer and social media influencer Mackenzie Ziegler was revealed to be the talented Tulip on Wednesday’s finale of “The Masked Dancer.” The former “Dance Moms” star finished in third place behind Diamond Mask trophy winner Gabby Douglas as Cotton Candy and runner-up Maksim Chmerkovskiy as the Sloth. Despite nailing her final routine to “Kings & Queens” by Ava Max, Mackenzie wasn’t able to earn enough votes to take home the title. SEEPaula Abdul ends ‘The Masked Dancer’ as judge with most correct guesses — how’d she do it? “It was so fun!” Mackenzie exclaimed in her unmasked interview with host Craig Robinson. “I love Tulip! Behind the mask I could be whoever I wanted to be. I gained more confidence for sure. I really just wanted everyone to love her at home and be someone that they could look up to. This was the best thing I’ve ever done. It was so fun and I want to thank you guys so much for lifting me up.” Ashley Tisdale was the only panelist to correctly guess the TikTok star was parading around as the Tulip. Paula Abdul thought it was another social media star, Liza Koshy. Ken Jeong guessed actress Lucy Hale and Brian Austin Green thought the Tulip was singer Sabrina Carpenter. Helping Ashley correctly name Mackenzie as the Tulip were some very helpful hints in her clue packages. The Mac’N’Cheese in Tulip’s package was a clue to Mackenzie’s name. The bag of chips was a clue to Mackenzie’s famous line from “Dance Moms,” “All I wanna do is stay home and eat chips.” When asked about the number “11” in her clue package, Mackenzie explained that “Dance Moms” came out in 2011 and the “iceberg on an armpit” was a reference to Pittsburgh. The bus ticket AL to DC was a reference to Abbey Lee Dance Company. Mackenzie defeated seven other celebrities this season before falling to Gabby as Cotton Candy and Max as the Sloth: Ice-T as the Disco Ball, Bill Nye as the Ice Cube, Elizabeth Smart as the Moth, Brian McKnight as the Cricket, Vinny Guadagnino as the Hammerhead, Jordin Sparks as the Exotic Bird, Oscar De La Hoya as the Zebra. Did you guess the TikTok star was dancing inside the Tulip costume?

Maksim Chmerkovskiy has danced with the stars, but as Sloth on The Masked Dancer, he wanted the celebrity treatment. "When I decided to do the show, I said, 'I'll do it under one condition: that I'm not responsible for myself. I get to experience the journey as close to the celebrity that comes on Dancing with the Stars,'" season 1's runner-up Chmerkovskiy, 41, tells PEOPLE. "Because I was the pro to that celebrity so many times, I know that they're having a blast and we're having the crazy time. So I wanted to experience that." The former Dancing with the Stars pro enjoyed taking a step back and getting to work with close friends throughout the process, like his choreographer Kiki Nyemchek and partner Koine Iwasaki, who have both appeared on So You Think You Can Dance. "Kiki Nyemchek was my student since he was 7 years old. And my partner Koko, who was second on So You Think, is Kiki's girlfriend. And my wife's one of her best friends," Chmerkovskiy says of Peta Murgatroyd. "These people are eating with us probably the night before for dinner and the next day, I walk in and I take my ski mask off, and they both just died [laughing]." The Ukraine native performed a different dance style each week, including doing a ribbon dance that led to the judges guessing Chmerkovskiy as Will Ferrell and Jack Black. The likeness to Ferrell, 53, "made my professional life," Chmerkovskiy quips.
