Before she could be crowned and unmasked though, these adorable runners-up had to be revealed.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First of all, congratulations on making it to the finale.
Did you guys set out to win the show or were you just happy with whatever happened?

If it was meant to be that we won, great.
If it wasn’t, then we would be happy for the winner.
CARNIE WILSON:Right.
What was your reaction when you first got the call to do the show?
WENDY:We were kind of surprised.
We were flattered, honestly, that they thought of us.
And I was kind of in shock, but it was exciting.
It was really great.
CARNIE:I was asked to do it two times before this by myself.
And I actually was too scared to do it by myself.
We all sing on our own, but there’s nothing like the sound of the three of us.
And I just felt like it was the right thing if we were all together.
And the people out there, they take it real seriously.
There’s so much mystery to it.
And I was thinking about it, what is therealappeal of it?
It’s got this almost European-Japanese TV flare.
People love a before and after, they love a reveal.
It’s very dramatic.
So, we knew it was a big deal to be asked to be a part of it.
WENDY:For sure.
It seems like you guys had fun doing it.
What was your favorite performance?
CARNIE:And that was my idea.
WENDY:It was Carnie’s idea, but it was a dream come true for me.
CARNIE:Yeah, I like that one, too.
Did you guys have anyone do that?
But they were sworn to secrecy.
So that’s about it.
CARNIE:I mean, we were told that we weren’t allowed to tell anyone.
And it was very hard.
I mean, it was really not easy.
And I had to ignore the tweets.
Just ignore it, ignore it, ignore it.
I don’t like ignoring usually.
WENDY:Oh, you’re kidding!
[Both laugh]
On the show, you mentioned you wanted to make your kids proud.
WENDY:You know, I think they’re kind of flipped out by it.
Like when they watch it they don’t know what’s going on.
It’s so wacky, the show.
But they’re just like, so humble.
And they’re so used to seeing us performing, but it’s almost like…
I can’t explain it.
And then they would be like, “Oh, yeah!”
A couple of times, my daughter Lola, she’s 17, she got approached a couple times.
And actually Lucy did too, my 13-year-old, but they’re really smart.
They knew how to dodge it.
Why did you choose that song?
WENDY:Well, first of all, we love Harry Styles.
We’re big fans of his.
So we just said, “You know what guys?
Let’s go for it.
Let’s do it.”
CARNIE:Yeah, and I had a funny little thing happen.
My daughter Lola Harry’s album just came out, and she was listening to it.
It’s incredible."
And I played the song and I went, “This would be so amazing for Wilson Phillips.”
And she goes, “Yeah, you should ask the girls.”
I said, “Yes, I’ve got to ask them.”
So as we got our burgers, we pulled over to eat, and I checked my email.
WENDY:These are nice details, by the way.
CARNIE:I know, sorry.
I think it would be a great cover for you."
And so not 20 minutes after Lola had said that, that happened.
And then we heard the song again at a hotel.
And we were like, “That’s it.
We have to do it.”
But, isn’t that weird?
Does this mean you guys are going to put out more music together?
CARNIE:Well, my fingers are always crossed for that.
So I hope that we do.
I hope this is a catalyst for something.
It’s been a really long time since we’ve written songs together.
It’s time for original material.
