The Masked Singer Season 13: Candace Cameron Bure Unmasked as Cherry Blossom
The latest episode of The Masked Singer aired on March 26, 2025, featuring a vibrant Carnival theme as five new celebrities took to the stage. The panelists faced the challenge of uncovering the masked identities of this season’s performers. Among the arrivals in Group C was the intriguing Cherry Blossom, who ultimately faced elimination after an audience vote, leading to the unexpected reveal that she was none other than Candace Cameron Bure, the beloved star of Full House.
Dazzling the audience with her rendition of Jennifer Lopez’s energetic track “Let’s Get Loud,”Candace candidly noted that competing on the show was one of the most daunting experiences of her life. While she aimed to project her children’s confidence, she humorously admitted that her legs felt as if they were made of “noodles.”
Panel Predictions and Reactions from Fans
The guesses surrounding Cherry Blossom’s identity were as varied as they were spirited. Panelist Ken Jeong suggested she was actress Tina Fey, while Rita Ora leaned towards Lori Greiner from Shark Tank. Robin Thicke’s hunch was that she resembled Jennie Garth. However, all predictions were ultimately put to rest when Candace took off her mask, leaving the panelists and viewers alike stunned.
Fans of The Masked Singer took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their mixed emotions regarding her exit. Many had guessed her identity early on, citing clues that hinted at her past. But there was also significant disappointment among viewers who wished to see more of Candace’s performances.
“OMG! Would have never guessed Cherry Blossom was Candace!”a fan wrote.
“Cherry Blossom is Candace Cameron Bure from Full House,”another fan commented.
“I knew it, And I was right, Candace cameron bure was the cherry blossom,”a netizen tweeted.
The show’s audience expressed both joy and sadness over Candace’s brief appearance. Some fans were surprised by the clues that led them to her identity.
“I didn’t even pay attention to Cherry Blossom’s clues, but after the ‘one of the biggest 90s tv families’ clue, my mind immediately went to Full House, and lo and behold, it’s Candace Cameron Bure,”a user reacted.
“Now I’m p*ssed that Cherry Blossom was booted off, I would have loved to hear Candace Cameron Bure sing some more,”a person commented.
“Cherry Blossom is going home first that’s sad,”another fan wrote.
Clues and Dedication: A Personal Touch
During her performance as Cherry Blossom, Candace, the fourth contestant of Group C, shared meaningful clues about her identity. She emphasized that her costume symbolized “rebirth”and a transition of seasons, adding a personal layer to her participation.
“And also, this is personal. I’m here to honor my close friend who’s been here before. You could say we grew up together. He taught me to not take myself so seriously. There was no one who made me laugh more,”she reflected.
This heartfelt tribute was directed towards her late Full House co-star, Bob Saget, who had previously appeared on the show as the Squiggly Monster. Candace further expressed her excitement about following in his footsteps while committing to make the most of her time on stage.
After the audience’s votes were counted, Cherry Blossom was eliminated. Before her unmasking, the panelists had the chance to unlock her Crack the Case box, which contained a clue in the form of a video message from Joey Fatone:
“She’s part of one of the most famous TV families of the ’90s.”
Subsequent guesses from the panel varied, with Jenny assuming Cherry Blossom was Jennie, Rita speculating it to be Jessica Biel, while Ken remained loyal to his Tina Fey guess, and Robin finalized with Tracey Gold. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation until Candace revealed herself, leaving the judges astonished.
