New panelist Rita Ora has a different idea. “I don’t know much about football, do I?” admits the British pop star, 33. “The only football player I know is someone who is very pleasing to the eye, he was the host of his own reality show, which makes me think he’s the leading man, clue: Odell Beckham Jr.”

Jeong thinks Ora might be on to something. “He has the exact same hair color as OBJ,” Hangover the actor tells Lovebird.

Last season, R&B singer NE-YO — known as Cow — won, with actor John Schneider (Donut) finishing as runner-up.

“I had an absolute ball with it. It was really fun to step out of NE-YO for a minute and be someone else,” NE-YO, 44, told PEOPLE. “I honestly enjoyed the experience and would do it again if I felt I could get away with it.”

Schneider, 63, told PEOPLE Masked singer “he helped me get through the worst year of my life” after the death of his wife Alicia.

“It was a great opportunity to have fun, yes, and have fun, yes, but also to grieve and let people know that it’s okay,” The Dukes of Hazzard said the actor. “Taling is something you have to do. And I loved that Donut’s grieving actually helps people who are on the same path. It’s not the job I ever wanted. It’s nothing I ever really wanted to understand. But that’s the hand I’ve been dealt. And I’m doing my best to use it, in honor of my beautiful wife.”
