Who is Ugly Sweater on The Masked Singer season 11? Show clues

Here are all of the clues about Ugly Sweater's identity:

Rita We Love Your Ora Night clues:

Clue: The word 'featuring' on an ugly sweater. "Ugly Sweater's always in style. Must be why the biggest stars want to work with me."

Voiceover clue: "When I hit the scene as a young, handsome Ugly Sweater, I was the epitome of style and top of the world. I lost focus. And my whole world unraveled. I went from living in penthouses to sleeping on park benches. My life was hanging on by a thread. But when I hit rock bottom, I realized that I had to change. And I started fighting to reclaim my voice. Now, I’m back on top, better than before. So, I want to win that trophy for all the people who helped me back on my feet, to live a life that’s simply the best."

Transformers Night clues: 

Clue: "Ugly Sweater spends his time wisely. Some might say that he earned a lifetime achievement award."

Voiceover Clue: "Y’all made me feel warm and fuzzy last time. There’s one person in my life who helped me tap into my inner Optimus Prime: My wife. When I met my soul mate, we couldn’t be more opposite. My life was unraveling, and hers was all buttoned up. I was consignment, and she was couture. I was on top of the charts, and she… didn’t know who I was. Sometimes unlikely pairings just work together, like plaids and stripes. She built me up, one brick at a time. And now, I’m going to get down with a fun song, just for my sweater half."

Queen Night clues: 

Clue: "Nick, listen. I never forget giving you dating advice. And honestly, you didn’t forget either."

Voiceover Clue: "I love being this colorful sweater, and making it to the Group A finals. I can’t wait to honor Queen with a song about freedom, baby! They say what’s old is new again. And I should know. I’ve been upcycle, and recycled more times than I can count. Inspired everyone from Snoop Dogg to Nirvana. Talk about a fashion statement! I even worked with the legendary Tupac. I like to keep that tidbit in my pocket. Yep, you can say I’ve influenced a circle of stars. All by doing my own thing. As a sweater who was once tossed aside, getting to the quarter finals will show you can always break free from anything. Whether it’s your past, your dirty laundry or your skinny jeans. Just roll up your sleeves, and do what you love like it’s going out of style!"

The Masked Singer season 11 airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox and streams the following day on Hulu.
