Last week, the Piglet gave Jenny McCarthy a poker chip telling her, “I’ll always go all in for you, especially for charity.” For the uninformed, McCarthy and Lachey have participated in a number of poker matches against each other, all of them being fundraisers for noble causes. The Piglet's week 2 clue package had heavy references about ABC's hit dating show 'The Bachelor'. Lachey and his wife Vanessa hosted Netflix's dating show 'Love is Blind'. 

The most telling clue about the Piglet being Lachey was revealed by Cluedledoo in week 8. The notorious rooster told the audiences that the Piglet caught touchdowns from Dan Marino.
