Flamingo: The Clues and What We Know So Far

The Flamingo clue packages have made for quite a convincing case that this hip-swaying bird is none other than Mrs. Adrienne Bailon Houghton. We decoded the biggest clues ahead.

  • Went From Hoodrat to Hollywood Triple Threat: Adrienne grew up in the Lower East Side of New York before moving west. She is also a former member for the girl group 3LW — a strong contender of the "triple threat" the Flamingo is referring to. Or, it could be Adrienne's multihyphenated career as a singer, actress, and now talk-show host. Plus, the apple she's holding in the clue packages definitely seems to indicate it might relate to Bailon's upbringing in the Big Apple.
  • I Was Discovered by a Powerful Wizard: Like, Ricky Martin? Adrienne was discovered by Martin back in the day, even touring as his backup singer.
  • Welcome to My Zoo-Tube Channel: Adrienne's popular YouTube channel, which boasts over 830k subscribers, tackles everything from beauty to life advice. It's called "All Things Adrienne," which sounds a lot like "Birds the Word." She also mentions a love for mascara — similar to Adrienne's love of makeup.
  • I Know What It's Like to Feel Trapped in Your Career: Another possible nod at the former Disney star life? Or, possibly for her brief-but-memorable appearances on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, when Adrienne dated Rob Kardashian. She's recently opened up about still not being able to avoid questions about their short-lived romance.
  • Ready to Take Control of My Destiny:As judge Ken Jeong put it, it's possible hint at another hit vocal group, Destiny's Child. Or could this be The Masked Singer producers trying to throw us off her trail?
  • It's Your Chica Flam Flam: In the second clue package of the season, the Flamingo introduces herself as "your chica Flam Flam," possibly hinting at her Latin roots? Bailon is of Puerto Rican and Ecuadorian heritage.
