Season Three Live Discussion Thread

[Fostersmom]

My wild card guess for The Taco, Larry King. When he walked off the stage, the walk was kind of like his. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

Judging by the clues, The Taco was famous in the 80's. You ask me, he sounds a lot like John Davidson, the former host of Hollywood Squares. The Rubik's Cube could point to him, too, 'cause he also hosted That's Incredible, which had a lot of Rubik's Cube competitions.

[Commando Cody]

Kitty's outfit made me think of Carol Channing's outfit in 'Hello Dolly'.  I thought maybe she performed on Broadway.  

[Angeleyes]

Mouse definitely sounded like Dionne Warwick. 

[Popples]

I'm leaning towards Dionne Warwick for The Mouse.

[The Crazed Spruce]

I agree. That's Dionne Warwick.

[Commando Cody]

I think Taco is Martin Short. 

[mtlchick]

I say it's Maya Rudolph doing her impression of Dionne Warwick.

Before Kitty even sang a note or spoke, just from the way she moved her body, I guessed Nicole Ritchie. I don't know how any of the clues would work, but I vaguely remember her singing back in the day. 

I thought Nicole Richie too when they guessed Paris Hilton and then commented Kitty is "Snooki short"

[The Crazed Spruce]

In 1979, Dionne Warwick had a platinum album. She hosted "Solid Gold", hence the pom-poms. It's Dionne Warwick.

[The Crazed Spruce]

Not getting a professional singer vibe from The Banana, but he's not bad. He's the weakest of the pack this week, though.

[Commando Cody]

Unless someone out there does a really good Dionne Warwick impersonation, Mouse is Dionne Warwick. 

 

[dargosmydaddy]

Ed Helms can sing better than that...

[Fostersmom]

Hootie did become a county singer after he was a blow fish

 

[NotChristine]

I have no guesses for anyone in this group except Elephant.

[Commando Cody]

Warrior 1979 could be a reference to Maya's mother, Minnie Riperton, who died of breast cancer in 1979. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

Huh. Kinda figured The Banana was going.

[Fostersmom]

Aww... Elephant was kinda bad, but I liked him

[dargosmydaddy]

I liked Elephant, too. 

He sounds British to me. That's all I've got...

[mtlchick]

I did NOT see that one coming at all.  

[Fostersmom]

That one came out of no where

[dargosmydaddy]

So, not British... lol.

[The Crazed Spruce]

Okay, wasn't expecting Tony Hawk. Dude sings better than I'd expect him to.

[Popples]

The second most shocking reveal after Dr. Drew. I would have never guessed Tony Hawk.

[Commando Cody]

I considered Tony Hawk for an earlier contestant.  It never occurred to me this time.

 

[vibeology]

It’s crazy but I think that taco is Tony Bennett. That street car is a hint for I Left My Heart In San Francisco. 

I think the frog is Floyd Mayweather. He’s short and won a medal at the 96 Olympics 

The Kitty is the real stumper. 

[Kromm]

For Taco, I heard "Good Place" and Trolley (a big prop on that show), but nobody on the show other than Ted Danson meets the age requirement.  And Danson is about a foot taller than Taco, so... it ain't him. 

Mouse sounds like Dionne Warwick. Who IS that size. 

[Kromm]

Banana sings British (it didn't sound like Elvis to me, but a Brit singing Elvis) but speaks Southern US. I guess one of those is an act. 

 

Edit - the Southern accent went away live though.

[NotChristine]

Larry the Cable Guy, seriously?

[dargosmydaddy]

It's not Ed Helms! Stop guessing Ed Helms!

[Popples]

I think Banana is Bill Engvall. A lot of people have said Bret Michaels, but I thought he could sing better than what the Banana did tonight.

Dionne Warwick is still the Mouse.

Mouse is DEFINITELY Dionne Warwick!

[The Crazed Spruce]

The worst thing about working graveyard shifts is that it messes up your sense of time. I woke up a couple of hours ago convinced it was Thursday. Didn't realise that TMS was on 'til about 15 minutes in. Missed everything before Mouse's performance.

[NotChristine]

Frog chose the wrong song.

All you missed was Banana, so in other words, not much.

I have no clue who Frog is, but I love him...

[meggonzo]

I still think Banana is Bret Michaels.  The dance moves look like him.

Are the finals still currently being taped??  If Banana is Bret, I don't know how long he'll stay on since he's currently on tour.

[Popples]

The Frog is Bow Wow. The basketball was a clue to the movie Like Mike and he was on a CSI spinoff.

[meggonzo]

Huh, doesn't Alfonso have a much better voice?  Although I could see him disguising it by choosing rap songs.

The world didn't need or want a sanitized bossa nova version of In Da Club either!

Who cares what their favorite subject in school was?

My random guess for elephant is Kal Penn who was briefly a speech writer for the Obama administration.

Kal Penn, according to his Wikipedia page, was actually the Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, not a Speechwriter, during the Obama Administration, from April 7, 2009 through July 30, 2011. He took time off from this position between June 1, 2010 & November 15, 2010 to film A Very Harold and Kumar 3-D Christmas; he left the position permanently on July 30, 2011 when he was offered a role in the CBS show How I Met Your Mother.

Agreed.  During the clue bit they had that big syringe.  Bret is a Type 1 diabetic and has to do the insulin thing on the regular.

[meggonzo]

Not liking this group as much this week as last week. 😕

[Popples]

My guess for the Taco is Tom Bergeron.

[Commando Cody]

That big syringe was a pretty big clue that it's Bret Michaels.  Plus Banana sounds like him.  Banana is Bret Michaels.   

[mtlchick]

I need more psychedelic hot sauce to understand what the fuck I just watched with the Taco.  

[WescottF1]

I watched enough Solid Gold as a kid to recognize Dionne Warwick's voice anywhere... Mouse is definitely her.

[The Crazed Spruce]

...I kinda want one of those "Don't Talk To Me" hoodies.

[Commando Cody]

I got no clues from the mouse this week, that meant any sense to me.  She sounds like Dionne Warwick.  She has an unmistakable voice.  If it's not Dionne, someone is doing a good impression of her. 

[meggonzo]

Sadly, I think Banana will be leaving tonight.
