The Masked Singer  

The Masked Singer Season 7 concluded its second round on Wednesday night, with two contestants being eliminated. The first was Armadillo, who did not succeed in defeating Miss Teddy and Ringmaster. Here is the mammal's true identity (if you hadn't already watched via FuboTV). A controversial figure wore Armadillo's mask. Rudy Guiliani wasn't it. "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman is also known as Duane "Dog" Chapman. He starred in Dog & Beth: On the Hunt and Dog's Most Wanted.

bounty hunter  

Chapman has been a controversial figure in recent years. Dog gained fame in the early 2000s after his inspiring backstory of being a felon-turned-bounty hunter. Chapman was convicted of first-degree murder in 1976 for driving a getaway car after a friend murdered Jerry Oliver. His reality TV success was snuffed out in 2007 when an audio recording of him repeatedly using the n-word was leaked.

Bonnie Chapman  

Chapman recovered and was once again a reality The reality show star was accused of racism and homophobia when working on the unreleased show Dog Unleashed. He was also accused by his daughter, Bonnie Chapman, of some troubling acts following that scandal. Most of the headlines revolved around his attempt to find Brian Laundrie, who killed Instagram influencer, Gabby Petito. Some — including Cecily Chapman, Chapman's stepdaughter — accused him of joining the manhunt as a publicity stunt.

A few of The Masked Singer judges' guesses were correct. Scherzinger and McCarthy both guessed Dog. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was Robin Thicke's choice, while Ken Jeong chose Al Pacino. Leslie Jordan chose Gary Busey as the guest judge.
