At the end of this episode, the audience voted (at home and pre-recorded). The one with the lowest votes was to be unmasked which was the Disco Ball.
Before he was revealed the judges had one more shot of getting him correct.
Unfortunately, the question’s answers were pretty vague, with a judge getting the answer “Probably.”
The Disco Ball finally revealed themselves to be Ice-T.
No one had gotten the answer right, though they were pretty close.
After his reveal Ice-T said that he couldn’t dance because of his age but that he used to break-dance in his youth.
