8:00 p.m. — “Previously on ‘The Masked Singer’!” In Episode 5, Poodle Moth, Clock and Lizard each took the stage in the Group C final for “Shower Anthems Night.” Following the studio audience vote, Lizard received the least amount of votes and was revealed to be Grammy-nominated R&B singer Sisqo! Next, Clock won the Battle Royale, but Poodle Moth was saved when Rita rang the season’s one and only “Ding Dong Keep it On” bell. Who will be unmasked tonight?
8:05 p.m. — First up tonight is Starfish. In her clue pack Starfish reveals, “Aww, you guys made this Material Girl feel like a million bucks! And being here has allowed me to unlock my inner pop star. Growing up, while other kids played in the sandbox, I played with the jukebox. That machine transformed my life! It opened my ears to Clapton, Fleetwood Mac and, of course, Green Day. It inspired me to join a band. I toured the nation! I’ve been lucky to dabble in many tide pools. This starfish is versatile, baby! I mean, if those robotic things can turn into lots of different stuff than so can I! Now, here I come! Guns a-blazin’!” Visual clues included a fishbowl that says “Teacher’s Lounge” on it, a sign that says “LIVE” and a merch desk.
8:08 p.m. — Starfish is singing “21 Guns” by Green Day. She’s rockin’ up on that stage! The additional clue for Starfish is this statement from Optimus Prime: “A true teammate, Starfish has earned awards as part of a talented group.” The panelists guess Starfish is Amy Poehler (Jenny), Tina Fey (Robin) or Maya Rudolph (Rita).
8:12 p.m. — Next up is Ugly Sweater. In his clue package he reveals, “Y’all made made me feel all warm and fuzzy last time. There’s one person in my life who helped me tap into my inner Optimus Prime — my wife. When I met my soul mate we couldn’t be more opposite. My life was unraveling and hers was all buttoned up. I was consignment, she was couture. I was on top of the charts and she didn’t know who I was. Sometimes unlikely pairings just work together like plaids and stripes. She built me up one brick at a time. And now, I’m gonna get down with a fun song just for my sweater half.” Visual clues included an airplane, his wife on a poster and a stop sign.
8:18 p.m. — Ugly Sweater is singing “Brick House” by The Commodores. He’s got an old-school soul voice and sounds like a music legend. For Ugly Sweater’s additional clue Bumblebee says, “The Ugly Sweater spends his time wisely. And he’s got the lifetime achievement award.” The panelists guess Ugly Sweater could be Lionel Richie (Jenny), Charlie Wilson (Robin) or Smokey Robinson (Rita).
8:22 p.m. — Tonight’s third performer is Lovebird. In his clue package he reveals, “Last time you all had me feel right at home on this stage. And I feel even more at home on ‘Transformers Night,’ because as a kid I was obsessed. I loved that transformers robots could hide in plain sight, and I know exactly how that feels. The world got to know me as somebody I wasn’t, but I was celebrated so I ran with it. Eventually I had to escape the cage I was trapped in and the truth is what set me free. Since then, I’ve tried to use my voice for good, helping people from court houses to white houses. And tonight, let me be a reminder — don’t hide, share all that you are.” Visual clues included a camera that says “24/7,” a checkered flag, bird cages and an MTV Award.
8:25 p.m. — Lovebird is singing “All That You Are” by Goo Goo Dolls. He doesn’t sound like a professional singer, but he’s got a nice voice! For an additional clue Optimus Prime says, “Lovebird has made television history before and he is looking to do that again by winning the Golden Mask.” The panelists guess Lovebird could be Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino (Rita), Colton Underwood (Jenny) or Dwayne Johnson (Ken).
8:30 p.m. — Next up tonight is Goldfish. In her clue package she reveals, “I felt that last performance in my soul and I’m hyped for tonight because, who doesn’t love Transformers? Sometimes the most transformative moments are actually breakups. I always thought I would be married young like my mom. But dating in Hollywood is hard, and this Goldfish wasn’t always lucky. Imagine trying to move on when you literally see your exes everywhere. It forced me to reflect and learn what I actually need. Now, here’s a song for anyone whose ever gotten their heart broken. But if the lyrics cut deep, take it from me, there are plenty of fish in the sea.” Visual clues included a Christmas snow globe, a police siren and a bat.
8:35 p.m. — Goldfish is singing “Baby Come Back” by Player. She’s an elegant diva who sounds like a professional singer — or at least an actress with a great voice. For an additional clue Bumblebee says, “A true performer, Goldfish famously pours her heart and tears into her work.” The panelists guess Goldfish could be Sarah Hyland (Jenny), Kristen Stewart (Ken) or Nina Dobrev (Rita).
8:40 p.m. — Last up tonight is a new wildcard performer — Koala! He’s tall. In his clue package he reveals, “Ahh, the Koala. He’s cute, but can also be extremely defensive. Let’s get closer. Don’t worry, I don’t bite. I’m actually kind of shy. When I first started out I wasn’t superstar material. I avoided interviews and if you put me on the spot, I’d forget my words. Wanna know how to make a Koala disappear? Point a camera at me! Then, I broke out with my first hit. I was forced to speak up and everything changed. Now, you can’t get me to shut up. Just like Bumblebee, it took me a while to find my voice. But I’ve learned, when you raise it up you can rule the world!” Visual clues included a Colorado sign, bull horns with a cowboy hat, a captain’s hat, Koala dancing on TV and a championship belt with a sun on it.
8:45 p.m. — Koala is singing “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears. He’s got a nice, silky-smooth voice. His clue package made him seem like an athlete, but this could be a professional vocalist. The additional is Optimus Prime stating, “I’ve never seen such a majestic animal, let alone a koala. Now for his clue — he’s on a shortlist with some of the greatest of all time.” The panelists guess Koala is Michael Irvin (Robin), Deion Sanders (Ken) or Terry Crews (Rita).
8:52 p.m. — The studio audience and panelists have voted. Two will be unmasked! The first going home tonight with the lowest number of votes is Lovebird. But before he takes it off the panelists reveal their final guesses: Josh Duhamel (Robin), Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino (Rita), Dwayne Johnson (Ken) and Colton Underwood (Jenny). Finally the Lovebird rips off that mask and reveals Jenny is right! It’s former NFL player and “The Bachelor” star Colton Underwood!
9:02 p.m. — Now it’s time for the final reveal of the night. The next contestant going home is Koala. He was just getting started! But before Koala unmasks the panelists make their final guesses: Deion Sanders (Ken), Shannon Sharpe (Jenny), Michael Irvin (Robin) and Terry Crews (Rita). At last, Koala takes it off and reveals he IS an NFL player, but not the one they thought! It’s former Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware! That’s a wrap for tonight.
