8:00 p.m. — “Previously on ‘The Masked Singer’!” In episode 6, four characters took “The Masked Singer” stage to sing their hearts out in hopes of advancing to the next round. In the end, Hibiscus was forced to unmask following her performance of “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls. The fierce flower was revealed to be “The Real Housewives of New York City” star Luann de Lesseps. Who will unmask tonight?
8:05 p.m. — The Trolls themselves open up tonight’s episode with a performance of “Better Place” by *NSYNC. Next, Anteater will take the stage to open up the Group C competition. In his clue package he reveals, “Last week was a blast even though I had to fight my way out of the smackdown. But of course I made it, because one thing people should know about me is that I love to win. That’s why I’m so competitive at everything I do, whether it’s music or sports. It’s pushed me to become a star in my game. I wrestled in high school and was so good I could have gone to college for it, but I needed more. So I drove race cars, earned a competition license and like a boss, I raced all over America and the UK. Behind the wheel feels like home sweet home. You can talk the talk, but in these challenges you either got it or you don’t. That’s why I’m here to prove that I got what it takes to win it all. Who doesn’t love a little competition?” Visual clues included a box of records, a box of red balloons (or balls?), race cars, an airplane, a coin with Jenny and Nicole on it and some watermelon.
8:10 p.m. — Anteater is singing “I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys. He’s got such a familiar tone. The panelists think this must be some sort of rock legend. This is actually a really cool rendition of this song. It’s a bit subdued, but I love the vibe. Meanwhile, the Trolls are running around the studio lot and come across a clue that says “Hall of Fame.” Anteater says, “I guess the Trolls might just know something about the hall of fame.” The panelists guess Anteater is Bob Seger (Jenny), Bob Dylan (Jenny), Willie Nelson (Jenny), Paul Simon (Robin) and John Cougar Mellencamp (Nicole).
8:15 p.m. — Candelabra is up next. In her clue package she reveals, “Making my debut on ‘The Masked Singer’ stage last week was so much fun. Hearing the praise from the panel really set my competitive side ablaze. I think I get my fighting spirit from my childhood. Growing up, I had to be tough. My mom was in and out of my life and I was on my own a lot until some family friends took me in. But I learned from an early age that the only person I could really depend on was myself. I’ve worked hard for everything I’ve got and I always strive for more because I’m never fully satisfied. So tonight, I’m not resting on the praise from last week. I’m going to get out on that stage and fight like I always have. Visual clues included a house on fire, dancing shoes, a castle, a diamond ring in a box with a “?” and butterflies.
8:20 p.m. — Candelabra is singing “All My Life” by K-Ci & JoJo. She’s got a great voice and gives off serious diva vibes. This is a great contender for the Season 10 title. Nicole loves the song choice and could feel Candelabra’s pain and heart. Nick thinks he knows this person. So how about a clue. The Trolls find blue and red tea cups that say “REAL” and “TEA” on them, respectively. Candelabra says, “I want you to know that on and off the camera, I’m keeping it real.” The panelists guess she is Tamar Braxton (Nicole), Monica (Nicole), Fantasia (Nicole), Keyshia Cole (Nicole), Ashanti (Jenny) or Kelly Rowland (Ken).
8:25 p.m. — Third on stage is Donut. In his clue package he reveals, “Last time I told you there’s nothing more healing than a stage and a song, and boy was I right. I’ve been really fortunate in my life. I’ve gotten to live out a billion dreams. From movies to music, to marrying my soul mate, life has been pretty sweet. For decades, I’ve been entertaining you, but recently I’ve been keeping more to myself because the love of my life is no longer here. It has left a huge hole in my heart. We did everything together. We had the same dream of owning a studio and we actually did. I still can’t believe she’s gone and most days I just feel lost. But, I try to honor her memory every day by doing something brave. It’s the whole reason I’m here. And it makes me smile knowing just how much she would love it. And by the way, that’s what I call her, my smile. Visual clues included #1 on a film slate and a limited edition Donut magazine.
8:30 p.m. — Donut is singing “I Do (Cherish You)” by 98 Degrees. It’s a heartfelt, soulful performance that perfectly shows off that seasoned voice. Nicole is crying. Everyone’s crying. Robin calls it “powerful” and “beautiful.” To lighten the mood we see the Trolls doing their hair and tossing a little “seasoning” in it. Donut says, “I’m well-seasoned and I have been enjoyed by several generations.” The panelists guess Stanley Tucci (Ken), Liam Neeson (Robin), Tom Jones (Robin) and Engelbert Humperdinck (Nicole).
8:35 p.m. — The final wildcard has entered the building! He’s the biggest and furriest costume in “Masked Singer” history. It’s Cuddle Monster! In his clue package he reveals, “Me? A wildcard? It’s gotta be destiny because I was definitely a wild child. I grew up in a beautiful, but sometimes violent place. But lucky for me I got out because of my passion. A generational talent. I had sponsorship deals, sneakers, even a record or two. Despite all that fame and recognition, my trauma was keeping up with me and I couldn’t hide the monster inside. I was self-destructing during the peak of my career. I couldn’t figure out why I was always unhappy and defensive, so I took a giant step and asked for help. I learned the tools to tame the rage through meditation and positive energy. Never let your circumstances determine your fate. Sometimes, all you need is change in perspective and persona to let your inner cuddle monster sing.” Visual clues included orange eyes in the sky, a bride, sneakers, boxing gloves, a gold “Wall Street” bull and a sword in a stone.
8:40 p.m. — Cuddle Monster is singing “You Got It (The Right Stuff)” by New Kids on the Block. This giant monster is adorable, but he’s a little off key and out of breath. I’m not sure the performance and stage presence can save him. Ken says this is what the show’s all about — having fun. The Trolls uncover a clue that says “champion” on a globe. Cuddle Monster says, “This clue should shed light on who I am.” The panelists guess Dennis Rodman (Robin), Draymond Green (Ken) and Shaquille O’Neal (Nicole).
8:45 p.m. — The studio audience has voted. The two safe contestants are Candelabra and Donut. That means Cuddle Monster and Anteater will face off in tonight’s smackdown.
8:50 p.m. — Cuddle Monster and Anteater both perform their own rendition of “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” by Justin Timberlake. They both have fun with it, but it’s clear that Anteater is the true singer here. Will his talent prevail out or will Cuddle Monster’s adorable presence win over the panelists? They take a final vote and the winner of this smackdown is Anteater! That means Cuddle Monster will unmask tonight after just one performance.
9:02 p.m. — Before Cuddle Monster takes it off the panelists submit their final guesses for who is under the mask: Dennis Rodman (Robin), Draymond Green (Ken), Tristan Thompson (Jenny) and Shaquille O’Neal (Nicole). At last, Cuddle Monster pulls off that big mask of his to reveal the entire panel is wrong! It’s former NBA all-star and Defensive Player of the Year, Metta World Peace! And that shocking reveal closes out “Trolls Night” on “The Masked Singer.”
