The Reddit user further went on to explain how these clues indicate that Derek Hough, might just be the person behind the disguise.

Then comes the Mirrorball, which might be related to the fact that he was a professional dancer on DWTS and won the show 6 times. He is currently also judging season 29 of the ABC show. The Italian flag might relate to the fact that the 35-year-old had studied at the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts. The Reddit user further suggested that if Nick Carter is not the crocodile, it might just be Derek Hough.

Is Nick Carter behind the crocodile mask?

The first clue for Crocodile came in the sneak peek episode, where he said a certain set of keys reversed his game forever. A report on Screen rant related this to the fact that the Backstreet Boys singer, Nick Carter's game was definitely reversed when he settled down by asking wife Lauren to marry him. Interestingly enough, he proposed in the Florida Keys. 

The report suggests that in the first clue package, there was a clear Vegas theme. This might indicate to the Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life, the band's Vegas residency that ran from 2017 to 2019. Clues about the Crocodile also went on to talk about growing up in Hollywood surrounded by heartache and instability. 40-year-old Carter has been open about the volatile and dysfunctional home he and his siblings grew up in as children. Hence, the crocodile might just be Nick Carter.
