Fox's hit singing competition is introducing six new masked contestants and ET is breaking down all the performances and the clues.
Last week, fans were introduced to the hottest, weirdest new show on television when Fox's The Masked Singer debuted and set the internet ablaze with speculation as to who could possibly be behind the mask.
With only one star revealed last week (NFL star Antonio Brown as The Hippo), viewers have spent the last week pouring over the meager clues offered up about the other identities, and this week, six new masked singers will be hitting the stage, making the mystery even vaster!
The Poodle, The Rabbit, The Alien, The Pineapple, The Bee and The Raven will all be facing off for the votes of the audience before one of them is finally unmasked.
Follow along with ET as we keep you updated with all the best, weirdest and most baffling moments from the second heated week of the wild competition.
The Big Reveal!!!
The bottom three comes down to The Pineapple, The Poodle and The Alien. In a surprise to no one, The Pineapple is voted the worst, and the judges get a chance to make their final guesses:
- Robin: Sugar Ray Leonard
- Jenny: Cheech Marin
- Ken: Jimmy Buffett
- Nicole: Kid Rock
After the judges' slew of completely terrible suggestions, The Pineapple is finally unmasked and its...
...
... Tommy Chong! Because of course it is. Nothing has ever been more certain in the history of TV.
So, that wasn't exactly the most exciting reveal ever, but at least the 10 masked singers we care about are still to be revealed, meaning we all get to keep playing detective!
The Judges Guess for the Last Time of the Night
Robin makes the best guess when he suggests Diana Ross, and that's definitely backed up when The Bee reveals that she began singing in "The Fifties."
Because of that, the judges suggest Dionne Warwick.
Whoever it is, we won't be finding out this week. The Bee beat The Poodle, meaning she goes on to compete again later this season.
The Bee!
Here are the clues for The Bee:
- "In my long career, I've flown to soaring heights" and working "keeps me young."
- "You can call me Queen Bee."
- "I'm looking forward to singing for a new generation."
- "I want to see if I still have what it takes to create a buzz."
Clearly it's a performer who was big in the past, but perhaps has faded away? However, when she belts out Sia's "Chandelier," there's no doubt she was once a real, genuine vocal diva and still has it.
The Judges Try Harder This Time
Jenny guesses Ali Wong and RuPaul, but then guesses Richard Simmons and it's hard to tell if she's joking.
After The Poodle hints, "I'm here for your honor," Ken jokingly declares that it's Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but that's fairly unlikely.
This is clearly the hardest guess of the entire episode.
The Poodle!
-"Ever since I was a little girl, I loved to be on stage and take on a character."
- Backdrop is the San Francisco skyline.
- Hints she could be a stand-up comic, and talks about fighting for her right to fair speech.
"To figure me out, you're gonna have to work."
We don't have a lot of guesses for this one, but her performance of Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker" was impressive.
Are the Judges Just Trying to Get It Wrong?
Jenny guesses either Cheech Marin or Tommy Chong, but then follows it up with Barack Obama, so she doesn't get any points for that.
However, Ken's guess of Matthew McConaughey is by far the most insane guess of the night thus far, so all bets are off when it comes to the judges making any sense at all.
It's Chong. Any other guess (yes, even Adam Sandler) is a terrible guess.
The Pineapple!
The Pineapple is Tommy Chong. There's almost no point in even listing the clues, but why not?
- The Pineapple drives a car with a "Pipe Dream" bumper sticker and even uses the phrase "up in smoke." So...
Also, when he sings "I Will Survive," he barely moves and also... his voice is just Tommy Chong's voice. It's not even a question.
The Judges' Guesses for The Raven
Jenny guesses off the bat that The Raven was a talk show host, and then immediately goes off the rails and guesses that it might be Sherri Shepherd.
Other guesses included Star Jones and Sally Jesse Raphael. They are wrong. It's Ricki Lake.
The Raven!
- "All my life I've listened to other people's story, now it's my time to share mine."
- "No one talks more than me."
- "I recently suffered a tragic loss," want to "honor by beloved."
- Says they want to rise from the ashes like a phoenix.
Our immediate feeling is that this is Ricki Lake. She was a talk show host, and recently suffered the loss of her husband. Also, she just sounded like Ricky Lake when singing Kesha's "Rainbow."
The Judges' Wild Alien Guesses
After Ken finishes flirting with The Alien, the judges finally get down to guessing, with Jenny suggesting she could be someone from the Spice Girls.
The judges all feel that The Alien is possibly a model, and Robin guesses that she's Bella Hadid.
However, The Alien throws a curveball with her follow-up clue that she comes from a family of many sisters, leading Jenny to guess that it could be Kourtney Kardashian.
We might actually get a chance to find out tonight, as The Rabbit beat out The Alien, sending her to the night's bottom 3.
The Alien!
- "My family, annonymity is a completely alien concept."
- Grew up in the public eye.
- "No one will ever control me again."
- "For the first time ever, the world gets to hear my voice on my terms."
She could be a child star, or the daughter of celebrity performers. Her performance of "Feel It Still" show's she's got at least a decent voice, and Robin suggests she walks like a runway model.
The Judges' Predictions for The Rabbit...
Robin and Jenny think The Rabbit was part of a boy band, but Nicole doesn't feel the guy is a singer, but rather a magician. Ken, on the other hand, feels it's an actor.
When asked if he's been in a band, The Rabbit cryptically said "Yes... in a band."
As for the judges' guesses, Nicole suggested magician Criss Angel, while Robin felt it could be Joey Fatone. Meanwhile, Ken suggested Jake Gyllenhaal, based only on the tangential Donnie Darko rabbit connection.
The Rabbit!
- "Spent most of my life on stage, but I was never alone." (Possibly part of a singing group?)
- Dancing in front of a carousel.
- "Synchronized singing is my forte."
- "Performed on stage? Check. Performed in a mask? Check"
Clearly this is a seasoned performer! And The Rabbit's performance of "Livin' La Vida Loca" just supports that theory.
