“You guys watch Yellowstone? Okay, so I feel like I’m getting like a Rip from him,” Jenny says. Robin Thicke points out that she’s talking about Cole Hauser. He adds, “I don’t think Cole Hauser dances like that.”

Jenny has another guess ready. “Okay, what about Kevin Bacon?” Nicole Scherzinger is intrigued by Jenny’s guess. “He was dancing like that in Footloose,” she says.

Jenny also points out, “And he plays the guitar, and he’s got a little band.” Robin says that Kevin is a “rock star in real life.” Nicole tells Jenny, “That’s a good guess.” Maybe Jenny’s right on the money!

Mantis will be taking the stage along with fellow new competitor Dandelion. Doll is returning to defend her place in the competition. By the end of the night, one celebrity will be unmasked.
