HAMMERHEAD
The Clues:
-- From Ep. 1
The Internet's Most Popular Guesses: Mikey Day, Michael Phelps, Vinny Guadagnino
Out Best Guess: Just based on the voice clue alone, we can't help but agree that it does sound a lot like Mikey Day, but it's still really too soon to know for sure.
TULIP
The Clues:
-- From Episode 1:
The Internet's Most Popular Guesses: Sadie Sink, Millie Bobby Brown, Addison Rae, Maddie Ziegler, Mackenzie Ziegler.
Out Best Guess: Tulip definitely knows how to dance, and the professional skill hits at Maddie Ziegler. There's a good chance she'll be around for quite a while longer.
CRICKET -- **REVEALED!!
The Clues:

The Internet's Most Popular Guesses: Ashton Kutcher, Ray Romano

EXOTIC BIRD
The Clues:

ZEBRA
The Clues:
-- From Ep. 2:
The Internet's Most Popular Guesses: Ricky Martin, Oscar De La Hoya

ICE CUBE -- **REVEALED!!
The Clues:
-- From Ep. 2:
The Internet's Most Popular Guesses: Al Gore, Vanilla Ice
Out Best Guess: Literally no idea. It's someone older, and Vanilla Ice would fit the bill when it comes to fame level, so I guess that fits? But were not sure, by a long shot.

... Bill Nye the Science Guy!
MOTH -- **REVEALED!!
The Clues:
-- From Ep. 2:
The Internet's Most Popular Guesses: Omarosa, Taylor Swift
