Who are the "Final Five" Model Muppets?

[Warning: Spoilers and advanced geekitude ahead.]

Having recently watched the season finale for the still-criminally underrated Battlestar Galactica, the wife and I began to speculate.

What if Jim Henson, the late and much-beloved puppeteer, created a group of 'sleeper' muppet agents, unknown even to themselves, who would be called into service with a precise sequence of triggers? And what if they are some of the most unlikely members of the celebrity pantheon? I'm imagining Orlando Bloom, Dakota Fanning, and Neil Young converging on the same location, haunted by the lyrics of a song: Someday we'll find it / The rainbow connection ... then realizing with horror their true nature. And is there a muppet equivalent of "Inner Six"? Maybe some of the frequent guest stars (Anne Murray, Paul Williams) start hearing ominous piano music, and suddenly they are haunted by a giggling, hallucinatory "Inner Elmo", who loves them but encourages the most destructive kind of vanity.

They put on music. They dressed up right. They raised the curtain.

And they have a plan.
