\t\t\t\t\tCow, \u201cThe Masked Singer\u201d) (Michael Becker \/ Fox)<\/span>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPete Dadds<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tPackage voiceover<\/strong>: \u201cI originally chose to become the Cow because I thought it would be a super fun way to get my friends on the panel off my scent. But, even though I\u2019m used to wearing different hats, being here has challenged me in a whole new way. I\u2019ve had to re-learn how to express myself entirely. From the way I move to the way I dance. When you get to my level of success and fame, there are certain expectations and pressures to perform the same old way. So, it\u2019s been a blast, getting to take on this whole new persona. The Cow, in a way, has also become a tribute to my mother, who showed me it\u2019s OK to be strong and sensitive. So tonight, I\u2019m channeling that same fierceness into this finale. So I can win this thing. For her and all the strong women who made me who I am today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPackage voiceover<\/strong>: \u201cI came into this competition at the lowest point in my life. But I tell you, as soon as I saw that Donut mask, his smile made me happy in a way I had not felt in a long time. I knew right then and there that become the donut is what I needed to heal from my wife\u2019s passing. I know that she\u2019s getting a big kick out of me in this donut costume. Because every Saturday morning, I would make the coffee and my wife would go out and get donuts \u2013 an apple fritter especially for me. In fact, her nickname for me was \u2018Fritter.\u2019 I still miss her than I can possibly say.

I\u2019ve mentioned in the past that deer are meaningful to me because of the loved one that I lost. What I haven\u2019t say is that I actually have a deer tattoo for that person, with flowers growing out of the antlers. So, when I saw the sketch that looked so much like my tattoo, I broke down shaking and sobbing. It just felt like fate. Now, having gotten to be in the Gazelle mask for a while, I can definitely say that she feels like this alter ego of me that I have been craving. When I put her on, all of my insecurities and fears are gone. I was given a second chance to keep this mask on, and I\u2019m not going to waste it. Becoming the Gazelle has really allowed me to tap into my inner goddess. The power that she has given me is a feeling I\u2019ll never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPackage voiceover<\/strong>: \u201cBecoming the Sea Queen has been an actual expertise. I really like my regal, commanding presence, however I\u2019m gonna be trustworthy with you. Wearing this costume hasn\u2019t been all easy crusing. I\u2019m a seasoned performer however used to being myself on stage.
