Who Is The Russian Doll?

Clues: The Russian Doll said in the clue package that they are a misfit. There was a sign that said “Mizfitz Toy Store.” They were once the world’s hottest toy. There were several puppet analogies made. People tried to put The Russian Doll in a box. Newer toys filled the shelves and The Russian Doll was cast to the side but they are now ready to step out and show everyone what they’ve got.

Performance: The Russian Doll sang “Man In The Mirror” by Michael Jackson. There was a major reveal during this performance that shocked the judging panel.

Judges Guesses: Jenny McCarthy thinks it could be two members of Boyz II Men or members of the country band Lady A under the masks.
