After weeks of competition, the trio (Nathan Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Wanyá Morris), who disguised themselves as buffaloes in cowboy-themed costumes, were crowned the winners of Season 12. The trio outlasted fellow finale competitor, Wasp, who was revealed as singer, Mario.
Following the finale, group member Nathan Morris told TV Insider the group was initially hesitant to sign on to the show. “We all had hesitations. In fact, when we found out we were doing it, we actually were like, ‘Okay, so they’re going to know who we are. So we’re going to have to, first of all, change our voices,’” he shared. “’We’re also going to have to pick songs that they wouldn’t think that we would sing, and we really don’t want to do it. So hopefully they’ll find out who and kick us off early.’”
Things clearly didn’t go according to the “plan,” but Wanyá Morris added the group is happy with how things turned out. “Honestly, I’m happy. I like this,” he shared. “I look at this as an MTV award for us. We ain’t never getting none of them. This one is, I like this. I think it’s sweet.”
