The road to the Golden Mask trophy continued on The Masked Singer Wednesday night with the Group B Finals.

Crocodile, Seahorse, Serpent and Whatchamacallit competed for two spots in the Super Six, and like Group A did last week, they had an undercover friend or family member share clues about them before they performed. After each disguised singer took the stage, host Nick Cannon brought out a “mask from the past clue,” a previous contestant with a tie to one of the four remaining celebs. The past competitor shared a new piece of info about the current singer to help panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke, along with guest judge Cheryl Hines, figure out their identity.

Seahorse started things off with an energetic version of Britney Spears favorite “… Baby One More Time” that Scherzinger, 42, called “spot on.” She said, “It might be Britney Spears up there."

Thicke, 43, said Crocodile “punched your ticket” to the Super Six with their take on another pop hit, Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love.” A hint from season 1’s Bee (a.k.a. Gladys Knight) about Croc being in a cult classic movie had the judges thinking Jared Leto or Justin Guarini might be under the outfit.

Whatchamacallit got all the panelists to “Lean Back” when he delivered the rap track, garnering a range of guesses that included NBA stars and J.B. Smoove. Serpent closed out by tackling “Cool” by the Jonas Brothers — and dropping more medical-related hints.

Once the panelists and virtual audience voted for their favorite performance of the night, Cannon announced the first singer who would continue to the Super Six, as well as the first one eliminated. Accordingly, Seahorse secured their spot in the Super Six and Whatchamacallit got the boot.

Everyone except for Hines, who stuck with her guess of Smoove, thought an athlete would be under the hairy getup. And Jeong, surprisingly, nailed it with his suggestion of NBA star Lonzo Ball.

“I love music, I love performing, so this kind of brought it all together,” the basketball pro, 23, said after being unmasked. "And I knew my mom watches this so it’s going to definitely put a smile on her face when she sees me.”

Cannon asked the New Orleans Pelicans guard what he loved about performing as Whatchamacallit. “The best part is just coming out here and doing what I love to do without anybody judging me, not knowing who I am,” he said. “I had a lot of fun performing for y’all.”

After Ball performed as Whatchamacallit one last time, Cannon announced that Serpent would be the final masked celebrity taking it off on Wednesday. The panel's final guesses ranged from Daveed Diggs to Taye Diggs, but Scherzinger hit it on the head by figuring out that Singing Surgeon Dr. Elvis Francois was under the snake.

“This is unbelievable,” said 35-year-old Francois, who went viral earlier this year with his cover of “Imagine.” "It’s a once in a lifetime kind of situation. Very different from what I do on a day-to-day basis, but something I’ll never forget the rest of my life."

The spine surgeon also called the show “an incredible way for us to move forward together.”

“I’m just happy to play a small part,” he said.

Jeong, 51, got emotional thinking about how Francois has contributed throughout the battle against COVID-19. “Your version of ‘Imagine’ got us through the pandemic,” the comedian said through tears.

He’ll battle with me all night because he’ll relentlessly go step by step to get the high score.
