00:00 The diver.
00:09 On week two of The Masked Singer, the diver dove right into being unmasked.
00:14 During Wednesday night's episode of Fox's singing competition, the s'more, cow, gazelle,
00:20 diver and new to the game pickle took center stage to perform, but not everyone made it
00:25 to the end of the show, keeping their identity concealed.
00:29 The diver received the least number of votes after singing, so the judges had to guess
00:33 who it was.
00:34 But the secret celeb started off strong with some great clues.
00:38 "Diver is up.
00:40 Let's see how this steely character rocked our panel's world in the group A premiere.
00:44 Check it out."
00:45 "Making my debut as the diver last week was so rewarding."
00:55 "You might have went from a lot of haters to you got a lot of lovers now."
00:59 "It felt great to get all the love from the panel and audience.
01:04 Something as you know, I haven't gotten much of lately.
01:07 As a kid, I always wanted to be famous.
01:11 I modeled, I acted, and of course sang.
01:15 I was always waiting to become a household name.
01:18 I just didn't know it would be for everyone hating me."
01:21 "Who's hated?"
01:22 "Joe McHale."
01:23 "But I'm here to show the world that I'm more than my mistakes.
01:29 Being here already feels like a healing experience."
01:32 "High heels may be married to a model."
01:34 "Getting to share my talent instead of my drama is exactly what I've needed.
01:40 So tonight I'm going to keep my eye on the ball because I am not ready to take off this
01:45 mask."
01:46 Judges Jenny McCarthy, Robin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger, and Ken Jeong all made some pretty
01:51 good guesses after the secret celebrity sang One Republic's hit "I Ain't Worried."
01:57 But once it was revealed that the diver would be going home, the judges got one more chance
02:01 to guess and two of them were right on the money.
02:04 "Who is under this mask?
02:07 Panel, your final guesses please."
02:09 "I'll start it up.
02:10 You know, we've seen things about being on TV, living his life in public, headlines,
02:16 bad boy.
02:17 Then tonight, the big clue about being able to get a club going, right?
02:22 Get a party started.
02:24 I think this guy is a DJ who is on television.
02:27 I think this is Pauly D from Jersey Shore."
02:29 "Oh yeah!"
02:30 "Pauly D!"
02:31 "That's a good guess."
02:32 "Nicole, what you got?"
02:33 "You know, I thought originally this was bad boy of Hollywood, Pete Davidson.
02:39 But it's NFL night and I'm pulling a penalty and I'm stealing Robin's guess.
02:46 I think it's Pauly D as well."
02:47 "Okay, alright."
02:48 "You know, I gotta say, for me, all the talk of past mistakes and being publicly judged
02:55 in the last year can only be one person.
02:58 He's been all over the news.
03:00 This is Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval."
03:05 "That's a good guess."
03:08 "Okay, alright."
03:10 "I cannot believe I'm about to do this, but I'm actually agreeing with Ken.
03:16 And if we're right, this will be two for Ken, which is insane.
03:21 There was a pump in the clue package.
03:23 He is a performer.
03:25 I do think this could be Tom Sandoval."
03:27 "Wow."
03:28 "Alright, it's split down the middle.
03:33 Well, let's see if our panel is correct.
03:37 Audience, you know the drill.
03:38 Say it with me.
03:40 Take it off!"
03:41 Vanderpump Rules' Tom Sandoval was revealed as the celebrity under the deep sea helmet.
03:46 The reality star explained why he chose to come on the Masked Singer and why he was so
03:50 appreciative for the opportunity.
03:52 "Wow.
03:53 Alright."
03:54 "He gave you the nails first.
03:55 Ken was right.
03:56 He's in the building."
03:57 "Oh my God, Ken."
03:58 "Ken, you made me so proud.
03:59 Ken, you made me so proud."
04:00 "Congratulations, Ken."
04:01 "Go, go!"
04:02 "Wow."
04:03 "Alright, I wouldn't have guessed that one."
04:04 "Wow."
04:05 "Tom, welcome, man.
04:06 This was fun."
04:07 "It was so much fun."
04:08 "Thank you."
04:09 "Thank you."
04:10 "Thank you."
04:11 "Thank you."
04:12 "It was so much fun."
04:13 "Yeah, yeah."
04:14 "Being able to come out here, perform, you know, behind a mask, not being judged, just
04:18 being judged on my performance, it was really nice."
04:22 "And you're very good, Tom.
04:23 You're a good guy."
04:24 "Thank you guys.
04:25 Thank you so much."
04:26 "Yeah, awesome job, man."
04:27 "It's nice."
04:28 "So much fun."
04:29 "Oh my God."
04:30 "Oh my God."
04:31 "Ken!"
04:32 "Oh my God."
04:33 "He does it again."
04:34 "I never get a run."
04:35 "Oh, I knew I was getting guessed right away."
04:36 "This never happens, Tom.
04:37 This never happened in my life."
04:38 "Ten seasons it's taken, though."
04:39 "It's just, it's season Ken."
04:40 "Season Ken."
04:41 "Season Ken."
04:42 "But seriously, I've kind of starstruck right now.
04:43 The biggest star in television right now is Don VanValk, like for real."
04:44 "Geez."
04:45 "Tom, can I ask you something?
04:46 Because you were very vulnerable talking about, you know what, a lot of people don't like
04:47 me.
04:48 Was it so difficult to come on this show and do this?"
04:49 "Yeah, it was.
04:50 But it was nice.
04:51 I felt protected under the mask.
04:52 I mean, this costume is incredible.
04:53 You know, there's so many talented people here.
04:54 I'm just honored to be part of it."
04:55 Tom made headlines over the weekend for his performance at the 2012 MTV VMAs.
04:56 "I'm so proud of my performance.
04:57 I'm so proud of my performance.
04:58 I'm so proud of my performance.
04:59 I'm so proud of my performance.
05:23 The 40-year-old TV personality isn't the only one making the rounds on other reality TV
05:27 series.
05:28 Ariana is currently a contestant on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."
05:32 Access Hollywood chatted with the 38-year-old reality star a few weeks before the premiere,
05:37 and she opened up about why the opportunity to be on DWTS is so empowering after such
05:42 a difficult chapter in her personal life.
05:45 "I'm thrilled to see you do this.
05:47 What made you want to do it?"
05:49 "It's just such a positive experience, and everyone that's ever done Dancing with the
05:52 Stars just comes away from it feeling so empowered and talking about how amazing it is.
05:59 And I just feel like it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I really wanted to take it
06:03 and just grab it by the horns."
06:06 "I love this.
06:07 I feel like you just went through one of the toughest years, and now it's like this is
06:10 a part of you coming, rising like a phoenix."
06:13 "You know, it's almost like sometimes you have to get through the bad stuff.
06:19 You have to come out the other side."
06:21 "It's actually very inspirational.
06:23 How has she been so far?
06:24 I know you guys had some rehearsals."
06:26 "We've had two whole rehearsals, and so far, it has been great."
06:30 "Did she make you a sandwich yet?"
06:33 "A sandwich?
06:34 What's a sandwich?"
06:35 "I'll make you a sandwich.
06:36 I'll bring you a drink."
06:37 "Yes, every practice."
06:38 "Well, those are her two specialties, drinks and sandwiches."
06:43 "Drinks and sandwiches, yes."
06:45 "Did Lisa Vanderpump give you any ballroom dancing advice?"
06:48 "Not yet.
06:50 She is, I think, overseas right now, but I'm going to have to hit her up and see what kind
06:55 of tips she has for me."
06:57 "What do you think will be harder for you?
07:00 The Scandal Ball or the Samba?"
07:04 "Honestly, I'm very nervous about the Samba.
07:07 I can't lie.
07:09 I feel like my feet might fall off."
07:11 "Do you have any dance experience?"
07:14 "I danced and cheered in high school and college, but that was 20 years ago, so I don't know
07:23 if that counts."
07:24 "We did at Access just speak to the one we don't speak of, who is taking on special forces,
07:32 Voldemort, better known as Voldemort.
07:35 Do you think he's tough enough for this?"
07:38 "I don't know.
07:42 I don't know.
07:43 I'll be rooting for you.
07:44 I'm so excited.
07:45 You look amazing.
07:46 I'm just such a fan.
07:47 I'm so happy to see you."
07:48 "Thank you.
07:49 I'm really, really excited for this.
07:50 I'm really grateful.
07:51 And I already won.
07:52 I have the best partner, so yeah."
07:53 "I'm already thinking about the sandwich, to be honest with you."
07:54 "I know, we haven't really eaten yet."
07:55 "Thank you."
07:55 "I'm so excited.
07:56 I'm so excited.
07:57 I'm so excited."
07:57 "I'm so excited.
07:58 I'm so excited."
07:58 "I'm so excited.
07:59 I'm so excited."
08:00 "I'm so excited.
08:01 I'm so excited."
08:02 "I'm so excited.
08:03 I'm so excited."
08:04 "I'm so excited.
08:05 I'm so excited."
08:05 "I'm so excited.
08:06 I'm so excited."
08:06 "I'm so excited.

08:10 I'm so excited."
08:10 "I'm so excited.
08:11 I'm so excited."
08:11 "I'm so excited.
08:12 I'm so excited."
08:13 "I'm so excited.
08:14 I'm so excited."
