Here's her story: "I made it to the Group A finals! I'm dead! Especially for 'Rat Pack Night' because their music really reminds me of my dad. Growing up on the East Coast, I have the best memories of the two of us driving down the shore playing ol' 'Mickey Blue Eyes' and Sammy Davis Jr. while I dreamed of being a big headliner just like them. But when I moved from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and I finally got a shot at stardom, I was like this shy girl thrown right into the deep end of a whole new world. I was so lonely and terrified I would never fit in — except there was this one guy who helped me through it all — my dad. He joined me every day on set and would tell me the funniest dad jokes to cheer me up. He made life on this new coast feel like home. So tonight, I'm singing our favorite song. Because of you, I truly am the luckiest lil' lady in the world." Coral sang "Luck Be a Lady" by Frank Sinatra. Following the classy performance, Ken deemed her "the front-runner" of this competition. Rita added, "You took a classic and you made it your own!" Next, Coral responded to her on-stage clue of an apple, stating, "If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere!" The panelists' guesses were Victoria Justice (Robin), Rachel Zegler (Jenny), and Camila Mendes (Rita). Ant was second to the stage with an all new package of clues. Here's what she had to say: "I'm so thrilled for a Rat Pack tribute night! You know, I was actually part of a rat pack myself, an ant colony you could say. When we first got together, it was the perfect fit — the sisters I never had growing up. We came out of the gate swinging, sharing everything together — the success, the fame, the lights. But we also shared the bad days, the long hours, the harsh conditions, the constant criticisms — yet we survived together and still managed to top the charts despite it all. It was an ant fever, baby! I wouldn't be standing here today without them. So tonight, here's another chart-topper for my rat pack. You all will never know how much I love you and how much I care. You are resilient women who are capable of anything!" Ant sang "Fever" by Peggy Lee and Robin thought it showed off a fun new side to the crooning insect. Her on-stage clue was a moon man, to which Ant responded, "I don't live where the moon man lives, but wherever he landed was where I got a huge start in my career." The panelists' guesses were Aubrey O'Day (Robin), Mel B (Ken), and Charli xcx (Rita). Last up was Paparazzo, who provided some new clues of his own before he hit the stage: "Whoa! I've made it to the Group A finals — and on Rat Pack tribute night? You know my entire family loves those guys because — fun fact — I'm actually Italian. When my grandparents came over from the old country, you know, the O.C., they focused on fitting into American life, learning English, and trying to assimilate. But, two generations later, when I was trying to break into the biz, sadly, agencies couldn't pronounce my real last name, so they suggested I change it. Fortunately, I did. But I always clung to my heritage, even if people didn't necessarily know. I'm proud to represent Italian culture — everything from pizza to amore. Now I'm here singing one of the most iconic Italian anthems ever written. So this one's for my familia, and of course, Frankie and Dean." Paparazzo sang "That's Amore" by Dean Martin. Rita called it "beautiful" and was excited by all the new Italian clues. His on-stage hint was Frankenstein, to which Paparazzo responded, "Monsters under the bed are scary, but onscreen they're not so bad. I know that first hand." The panelists' guesses were Cole Sprouse (Robin), Michael Cera (Ken), and Matthew Lawrence or Andrew Lawrence (Jenny). Voted through to the Lucky Six was Paparazzo, leaving Ant and Coral left to face-off in the Battle Royale. Each put their own spin on Sinatra's "My Way" before the panelists decided who would move on. Following the close Battle Royale, Ant was eliminated from the competition. Before she revealed herself, the panelists got to open up a "Crack the Case" clue case. Ant's case held a world record. When asked what it means, Ant responded, "I don't know, there are so many." The panelists then submitted their final guesses: Evan Rachel Wood (Jenny), Charli xcx (Rita), Mel B (Ken), and Aubrey O'Day (Robin). Ant finally peeled off her mask and revealed herself as Danity Kane singer Aubrey O'Day! Robin was right!
