‘The Masked Singer’ Reveals Identity of Macaron: Here Is the Celebrity Under the Costume

I reckon if you were to meet Macaron, you’d find her as sweet as a strawberry shortcake fresh from the oven, but don’t let that sugary exterior fool ya! This gal’s been through some rough patches, and she’s come out the other side stronger than ever.


SPOILER ALERT: Details follow for Season 12, Episode 7 of “The Masked Singer,” “Who Are You Fest Night,” which aired November 13 on Fox.

Despite it being a disappointing elimination, surfer Bethany Hamilton expressed her delight in participating on “The Masked Singer.” On the latest episode airing on Wednesday, she was unveiled as the celebrity behind the Macaron costume, marking the start of Group C’s competition.

Hamilton explained that he decided to participate in ‘The Masked Singer’ for enjoyment. He frequently sings to his kids, hoping this experience would improve his vocals. Moreover, he saw it as a chance to inspire others, which aligns with his life’s mission.

Out of all the panel members, Rita Ora correctly guessed Bethany Hamilton, and Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg concurred. However, Ken Jeong thought it was Gypsy Rose Blanchard, while Robin Thicke chose Ariana Madix as his pick.

Hamilton remarked, “I adored my costume, yet it was quite difficult to move around and dance in – it was extremely tough.” He continued, “Learning dance moves swiftly isn’t something I excel at. I’m more of a surfer who doesn’t pick up dancing quickly on platforms like TikTok. Remembering everything, even my lyrics, was challenging. To put it simply, I’m better at surfing!

In “The Masked Singer” Season 12, Bethany Hamilton, known here as Macaron, was unveiled alongside Natalie Imbruglia (Bluebell), Laverne Cox (Chess Piece), Andy Richter (Dusty Bunny), Paula Cole (Ship), Marsai Martin (Woodpecker), Yvette Nicole Brown (Showbird,) and John Elway (Leaf Sheep) as the celebrities who were unmasked.

For Season 12, Nick Cannon returns as host, joined by returning panelists Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Robin Thicke. Additionally, Ora is back at her post for the second year in a row, standing in for Nicole Scherzinger.

Season 12 of ‘The Masked Singer’ features special episodes celebrating iconic milestones: the 65th anniversary of Barbie by Mattel, and the 40th anniversary of the film ‘Footloose’. Miley Cyrus will have an episode dedicated to her music, along with a new event called ‘Who Are You Fest’, showcasing hits from memorable festival lineups. Other themes include ‘Sports Night’ and ’60’s Night’. Returning popular themes are ‘Soundtrack of My Life’ and ‘Thanksgiving Night’.

This season, clues for identities will be cleverly hidden within costumes, song selections, and stage performances. Additionally, fifteen celebrity contestants will have a “Celebrity Masked Cheerleader,” consisting of past participants such as Dick Van Dyke (Season 9’s Gnome), Jewel (winner of Season 6 as the Queen of Hearts), Ne-yo (Season 10 winner as the Cow), and DeMarcus Ware (Season 11’s Koala). Furthermore, the “Ding Dong Keep It On” bell will be used again, but in the group finals, only one performer can secure their place.

12th season introduces 15 performers showcasing their skills in fresh outfits, such as “The Ship,” “Leafy Sheep,” “Wooden Pecker,” “Chess Figure,” “Blue Blossom,” “Bison,” “Stage Bird,” “Fuzzy Ball” (Dust Bunny), “Gooey Substance,” and others.

Here were the first Group C performances on Wednesday’s Episode 7, “Who Are You Fest Night”:

Narration: “Chapter 1. As a young girl, I dreamed of living the fairy tale life. So, I embarked on a journey to find it. However, my story was far from a fantasy; it was filled with heartache and fear around every turn. I had to learn to shield myself with protective armor to survive, transforming into the warrior I am today. I had to break away from the notion of ‘you and me’ and discover who I truly am. Now, castles and kings hold no interest for me; all that matters is embodying my role as the main character.

America, will you crack the code and reveal his true identity? Or will this case remain unsolved?

Sherlock Hound’s Narration: “Growing up, music was the family affair – my grandmother taught it, while my father played the piano. However, I yearned for the freedom of the outdoors instead of being confined within a cello’s embrace. The moment rock and roll struck my ears, it ignited an uncontainable passion deep inside me. Some may describe this as a mystery I needed to solve. From that point on, I followed the trail through campfires, dingy bars, and tour buses, sensing something significant ahead.

So tonight, we hope you’ll break free and win everyone over with your charm.

Ice King’s narration: “Pretty fascinating, isn’t it? Once I was the ruler of the school. However, Hollywood could feel quite chilly at times, so I decided to flee and entered a prolonged freeze. But now, I’ve mustered up the bravery to return and shine in the limelight once more. I’m here as a trailblazer, aiming to redirect attention to what I cherish the most: singing. It’s comforting to gradually re-immerse myself in music, hidden behind this mask.
