Some visual clues that have stood out during the Tulip’s video clue packages include a clock that says “Tick Tock,” cereal with the number 11 on it, scrambled eggs, a field, a rainbow, a field of flowers, a pyramid in Egypt, a flower crown, and a bell. At one point, the Tulip clicked glittery green shoes together.

Tulip said “growing up I was teased all the time,” adding that, as a result, “my confidence tumbled.”
She said she wears her hair in a ponytail under her mask. She has also proven herself to be an adept tap dancer.
Tulip said the hardest part about the competition has been “keeping mum about it to everybody I know,” especially her best friend. Of her best friend, Tulip said, “day and night, she’s always there for me through my struggles.”
She revealed, “Well it wasn’t always easy growing up. I was judged a lot, and it hurt.” She also mentioned being “frozen in place” at one point in her life.
Tulip’s “word-up” clues were “princess” and “triple.”
Tulip’s dance partner in the competition said they are “best friends” and Tulip even invited them to their house for the Masked Dancer premiere.
The dance partner said the competition is theirs, “If we can keep in-sync.” During their performance, they proved they can do a split. Guest judge Mayim Bialik said she thinks the Tulip is under the age of 35 because of the way she moves.
The Tulip’s episode 6 clue package included quite a few food-themed hints, including iced coffee with a pink start on it, peanut butter and jelly, and a family-sized bag of potato chips.
When Ken Jeong asked if the Tulip has stage performance beyond the competition, she said, “I’m no stranger to the stage. I’ve been performing my whole life.”
