"It was a great, great kick," Anka tolf the panelists. The person under the Broccoli costume turned out to be Anka, who soothed us with "Take Me Down" by Alabama, "House is Rockin'/Whole Lotta Shakin Going On" by Stevie Ray Vaughan/Jerry Lee Lewis, and "Hello" by Lionel Richie. On Thanksgiving, The Masked Singer hosted the Group C finals, and in a fitting move, the audience voted to unmask an American treasure (well, actually, a Canadian-American treasure) dressed as food. Both Kelly and Dayne have spent decades in the entertainment industry, but Kim isn't used to the spotlight as a singer. The most impressive of the group, in my opinion, was Kim, who admitted it was her first time ever performing in public. All three of these women were the top fan guesses, and all three of them slayed last night. Popcorn turned out to be Taylor Dayne, Jellyfish was Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim, and Seahorse revealed herself to be Tori Kelly. At the end of the night, super-fans who dug deep to provide their best guesses should've been proud of themselves. On December 2, we finally made it to the Super Six, where Sun and Popcorn (Group A), Seahorse and Pink Crocodile (Group B), and Mushroom and Jellyfish (Group C) all faced off to send three characters packing. She told panelists that she joined the competition to "give and receive love." She certainly did just that I love you, LeAnn Rimes! Week 10: Taylor Dayne, Chloe Kim, and Tori Kelly She was also crowned champion of the show, mostly because of her impeccable vocals. LeAnn Rimes, who was also everyone's top guess by the end, was The Sun. They were right, but they weren't the panelists to take home the Golden Ear award for the most correct guesses. He has a hit song "I Need a Dollar." Dollar? Dough? Both Scherzinger and Thicke guessed that Blacc was behind the mask. He gave Scherzinger the gift of cookie dough ice cream. Mushroom turned out to be singer Aloe Blacc, who said he took inspiration from his daughter, Mandela, for the character. Carter, who sang "Open Arms" by Journey on the finale, very sweetly told his "croc-lings" (his kids with wife Lauren Kitt) that he did this show for them. Fans were convinced for most of the season that the Croc was Carter after tying a hint in the clue package to his biography. McCarthy was the only person on the show to guess this artist, but she was right. Nick Carter was revealed to be the Pink Crocodile to…no one's surprise. The People Behind the Masks Week 11: Nick Carter, Aloe Blacc, and winner LeAnn Rimes Here are the celebrities who have been revealed behind the mask each week. But they managed to get several guesses correct in the end. These characters were a handful for panelists Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, and Jenny McCarthy. There's a dragon, a pair of very Rocky Horror Picture Show lips, a giraffe dressed like a founding father, a jellyfish that also resembles some kind swamp creature, a mushroom, a bucket of popcorn, a snow owl with two heads, something called a "squiggly monster," a "Whatcha Macallit," "The Gremlin," and… the Sun. The costumes this season were…what's the word? Intriguing.
In fact, on episode 1, the show was introduced as "TV's craziest show at the time we need it the most." Host Nick Cannon made a mask joke immediately: "Finally we have something fun involving masks." Season 4 of Fox's The Masked Singer offered one more show to keep us distracted from the garbage fire burning around us.
#THE MASKED SINGER TV#
Somehow, the idea that people still go on live TV to do completely ridiculous things, such as sing in absurd costumes, brings about a deranged sense of comfort. Yes, that thought is a particularly dark one, but we'll take what we can get. In 2020, we all need some reminders that the world is still turning.
