It was another bizarre night on "The Masked Singer." A giant Muppet-looking creature sang Kacey Musgraves' "Rainbow" while a giant Butterfly got electrocuted.
Read on to see who got unmasked and what clues we have gathered about the night's contestants. (Spoilers below!)
First up was the Flamingo, who gave a high-energy performance of "Footloose." In her clue video, we learned that she was discovered by a "powerful wizard" and became a Hollywood triple threat.
Next up, the Leopard continued to confuse the judges with his clue package. With what could very well be a fake British accent, he mentioned struggling to find his place and then living his life "in color" ever since. He sang Shawn Mendes' "Stitches."
Next, the Black Widow talked about having to embody a "squeaky clean image" since she was little. We also saw a platinum record in the background. She went country and performed Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats." The judges were impressed.
The Skeleton was up next. He sang Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" It was fun, but not the best of the night! His clue package used the word "orchestrating," which led some judges to start thinking of people who directed bands and not necessarily someone who starred on "Saturday Night Live" like they had thought in previous weeks.
Thingamajig took on Kacey Musgraves' "Rainbow," which moved judge Nicole Scherzinger to tears. His clue video continued to mention magic and allude to a possible sports career.
And finally, the Butterfly took the stage. Her clue video mentioned being popular and "everybody saying my name." She sang Bon Jovi's 'Livin' on a Prayer." After the performance she revealed that during her rehearsal she got shocked when something short-circuited.
Who got unmasked?
The studio audience voted and it was time for the Skeleton to go. Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke correctly guessed that Paul Shaffer, the former band director for David Letterman, was behind the mask.
What we learned about the contestants tonight:
Flamingo
Clues: In the preview episode, she encouraged everyone to "Get pumped" and mimed lifting weights. She also talked about "rocking the competition" and mentioned a love for mascara. This episode she talked about the "real story" and made Youtube references. In her clue video this week, we learned that she was discovered by a "powerful wizard" and became a Hollywood triple threat. She said she started from humble beginnings and was shown in a gas station with an apple in her hand.
Our guesses: Former "Cheetah Girl" Adrienne Bailon is a co-host on "The Real" talk show and she has her own YouTube show. The "Cheetah Girls" were created by Disney, who has a mouse that dresses like a wizard.
Leopard
Clues: In the preview show, the Leopard mentioned that the show's security reminded them of the Secret Service, also dropping that they had been “spotted with the president.” The costume is said to have designed to specifically obscure the natural figure of this contestant. He described itself as a "heavy hitter" that no one could catch. A newspaper in its preview package had the headline "Out of hits, Out of Time." This week, we saw him being left as a baby outside of a home with the number "1963" in front of it. He mentioned trying to find his place and then "living his life in color" every since.
Our guesses: Jamie Foxx. He is adopted and played a president and athlete on screen, plus the reference to "in color" tonight could be a throwback to "In Living Color," where Foxx got his start.
Black Widow
Clues: In the preview show she said,"You can guess my identity all you want, but I'm going to leave you hanging by a thread until the very end." There was also a tarot card in the pre-season package as well. In a previous episode we saw numerous references to her being a film actress, plus the image of a peach possibly indicating she has a connection to Georgia. She also mentioned her "empire." This week she talked about having to embody a "squeaky clean image" since she was little. We also saw a platinum record in the background.
Our guesses: Raven Symone was a child star and used to sing with "The Cheetah Girls."
The Butterfly
Clues: The judges kept pointing out how tall she was. She talked about waiting for a year to go through a change or metamorphosis. There were some rainbow imagery suggesting maybe an LGBTQ connection. She said she had success in many areas but found herself afraid of the one place she used to call home (then an image of London was displayed). She ended with saying she was ready to take you to church.
Our guesses: Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child. She has a church background and performed on stage in London.
Thingamajig
Clues: "Don't call me Chewbacca, though we do celebrate together" (Quote from the preview show); Judges kept saying how tall he looked. In his rap in the first episode, he said he's more than fashion shoots and dreams before pulling a sneaker out of his "magic case." He also had a cupcake with a "4" candle on it. He said "all the stars led to this gig." This week, he mentioned that his parents said to "not run with the bulls." He also told the judges the hardest time in his life was having to go to "rehab," which could be a reference to being injured.
Our guesses: The prevailing guess on the internet is that it is NBA player Victor Oladipo.
