We love to see an athlete show off their hidden talents, and Ball is no exception.

Panthers and gets are hints to the NFL teams Ball’s father, Lavar, once played on.Īs for Ball's connection to Ninja (aka the Ice Cream from season 2), the two played each other in a Fortnite battle on Twitch two years ago.The gelatin and marshmallows are nods to Ball’s brothers “Gelo” and “Melo.”.The three bees and three “B” notes are odes to Big Baller Brand, Ball’s apparel and show collection.Some other clues that pointed to the New Orleans Pelicans player: This could have been a reference to Ball's mother, Tina, suffering a stroke in 2017. In it's second pre-performance package, the Whatchamacallit talked about receiving a call that could have set back his career. The song came out in 2006, meaning the person would have to be pretty young to consider it a song they grew up with. And speaking of music, Whatchamacallit says he grew up listening to "Money Maker" by Ludacris, the second song he performed.

The turn tables from the first week could have been a nod to Ball's music "career." The 22-year-old has released a few mixes, especially during quarantine. And when you review the clues and Lonzo's Wikepedia page, you see that it all adds up. This was a guess some fans latched onto by week 2.

(And the most shocking part was that judge Ken Jeong actually guessed correctly.)Īfter weeks of guessing, fans and judges learned that basketball player Lonzo Ball was hiding beneath the hairy costume. It's one of the most extra costumes thus far on the show, which is saying a lot considering the kinds of outfits the design team dreams up.Īs for who is Whatchamacallit, fans finally learned during the double elimination on Nov. The costume is like if the Fourth of July and Cousin Itt from The Addams Family merged to give us a hairy red, white, and blue monster. Season 2 had a Thingamajig, and season 4 of The Masked Singer has a Whatchamacallit.
