I was in the bottom three. And if the world was perfect, either me or Deer would go home today.

And I would make sure it was Deer.

"So, last time I sang a happy song, and I lost to a kinda sad song. So, I'm going to sing "I Don't Want to Be" by Gavin DeGraw, which is just about the saddest song I know." Monster was telling Peacock. "I would probably get eliminated next episode I was in, but you figure 7th place is better than 10th."

"Well, I think that you need to stop worrying. I don't worry, I just... sing!" Peacock told him.

"Last time, when I "just sung," I was in the bottom three."

"TEN MINUTES TO SHOWTIME," Nick said over the radio.

"Well," Peacock said grumpily, "Be prepared. Because you need to practice your Mr. DeGraw song."

"Alright, I will." And you need to practice being nicer. I thought. I decided to check the internet. See what place they ranked me in. Number... 4. You kiddin' me? They ranked Unicorn in 10. If that was accurate, then I would believe anything. Get this. They said "The Monster was totally robbed against the Unicorn. He will be in the final five for sure." According to them, number three would be Lion, number two was Rabbit, and Peacock was number one. So, I gotta beat Lion, Rabbit, and Peacock if I'm gonna win. So, I do not have high high hopes for a living.

"SHOW STARTS IN TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX, FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO,"

Monster came out of his door. Lion was first. She sang "Feelin' Good" by Nina Simone. I rated it an 8.5 out of 10.

"Hey, nice job," I told her.

"Thank you. Good luck with your performance." She said back.

Deer sang "Get Your Shine On" by Florida Georgia Line. I rated it a 5 out of 10.

So that means that Lion is safe according to me.

Third was Peacock. He sang "Counting Stars" by OneRepublic. Rating: 9.99999 out of 10. He's winning this competition for sure.

Next was Unicorn with "Oops... I Did It Again" by Britney Spears. My rating is 6 out of 10.

Then it was Monster. Wait... I'm Monster. I sang "I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw. But you already know that. I'll tell you something you don't know. According to the audience, I was about 8 out of 10. They absolutely loved me. I hadn't had that much good recognition for... it's been so long I can't even remember.

So, the Monster standings are:

     1. Peacock, POINTS: 9.99999

     2. Lion, POINTS: 8.5

     3. Monster POINTS: 8

     4. Unicorn, POINTS: 6

     5. Deer, POINTS:5

Yeah, I think Deer is going home.

At the end, Nick Cannon was talking. He said, "And the mask with the least amount of votes is..."

The Deer."

*audience expresses shock*

"So, that means that in two weeks, the Lion and the Unicorn will perform with two other masks from Group B, and in three weeks, the Monster and the Peacock will perform with another two masks from Group B. So, go back to your rooms, and get practicing, but for now, let's figure out, who is the Deer. Nicole, you go first."

"So, I think, from the 'ravens beware' that it might be a Steelers player, so I'm gonna go with Terry Bradshaw."

"So," Joel McHale said, "I had no idea who it was until you laughed. I watch Fox Sports every Sunday, and you know who lifts their shoulders when they laugh, exactly like you? Terry Bradshaw. Boom."

"Jenny," Nick said.

"I think... I'm gonna go with Peyton Manning." Jenny said.

"Terry Bradshaw." Robin said, "It just... is."

"Not." Ken said while shaking his head. "You are not Terry Bradshaw, and you are not Peyton Manning, because you are John Elway!"

"Alright." Nick started. "We have the panelists guesses, now let's find out who it is. Take it off! Take it off!"

"So, Monster, you think it's Michael Strahan, Lion thinks it's Terry, Unicorn, you think it's Peyton Manning, and I think Terry Bradshaw." Peacock said.

"IT'S TERRY BRADSHAW! I KNEW IT! CONGRATULATIONS, AND WE WILL SEE MONSTER, LION, PEACOCK, AND UNICORN SOON! BUT NOW, LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR TERRY BRADSHAW, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE DEER!"
