8:00 p.m. — “Previously on ‘The Masked Singer’!” In the Season 10 premiere, five new characters took “The Masked Singer” stage to sing their hearts out in hopes of advancing to the next round. In the end, Rubber Ducky was forced to unmask following his performance of “Come On Eileen” by Dexys Midnight Runners. The sudsy bath toy was revealed to be Emmy-nominated actor Anthony Anderson. Who will unmask tonight?
8:02 p.m. — Le’Veon Bell gets this NFL party started with a performance of “I Gotta Feeling” by Black Eyed Peas. The Season 8 Milkshake is not in costume and is clearly auto-tuned. Is this where we’re at now? Shame. Maybe it’s just the auto-tuned voice of Will.I.Am blasting over him in the background. Just sing for better or worse, it’s all fun and games.
8:05 p.m. — Cow will kick off tonight’s competition. In his clue package he says, “Last week was utterly fantastic and I’m excited to make it this far with the cream of the crop. Tonight I’m honored to be part of ‘NFL Night.’ Even though I don’t have many memories of watching the big game with my dad. He wasn’t really around and I didn’t have a lot of positive male role models growing up. I was raised in a house with all women, who made me the sensitive cow that I am. Now as a parent I know the value of being present for my children. I’ve always achieved a lot of success in my life, but my greatest accomplishment has always been my kids. So easy to get overwhelmed by the smoke and mirrors of fame, but I told myself early on that I am a family cow first. So when I get on that stage I’ll be thinking of them and treasuring every single moment.” Visual clues included boxing gloves with a yellow arrow pointing down on them, a photo of young cow and his mother (who is wearing a wizard’s hat), three calves representing his children and crayons next to a drawing of a red heart.
8:10 p.m. — Cow is singing “Treasure” by Bruno Mars at Super Bowl XLVIII. Cow sounds like a seasoned R&B crooner who has been in the game for a while. He’s clearly comfortable up on that stage singing as a spotted diva. This cow has the voice of a man, but is working the stage in a dress as Jenny asks, “Robin, how do you not know who this is?” This cow has vocals AND moves. For an additional clue, the men in black bring out tap shoes. Cow says, “Much like a Super Bowl halftime show, I am known for my killer moves.” This leads the panel to guess Trey Songz (Robin), Ne-Yo (Robin), Mario (Jenny), Nelly (Jenny) and Jason Derulo (Nicole). I keep going back to last week’s clues, where Cow said he had trouble handling his emotions when he was younger and had hit after hit. For me, that puts Chris Brown in the running (I’m just not sure Cow sounds like Chris). I also know Chris and Mario have three kids, while Ne-Yo has many more (seven I think), Nelly has two and Trey and Jason each have one.
8:15 p.m. — Diver is up next. In his clue package he reveals, “Making my debut as the Diver last week was so rewarding. It felt to great to get all the love from the panel and the audience — something, as you know, I haven’t gotten much of lately. As a kid, I always wanted to be famous. I modeled, I acted, and of course sang. I was always waiting to become a household name, I just didn’t know it would be for everyone hating me. But I’m here to show the world that I’m more than my mistakes. Being here already feels like a healing experience. Getting to share my talent instead of my drama is exactly what I’ve needed. So tonight I’m going to keep my eye on the ball because I am not ready to take off this mask.” Visual clues included red high heels floating by and Diver watching himself on TV.
8:20 p.m. – Diver is singing “I Ain’t Worried” by OneRepublic at Super Bowl XLVII (Pregame NFL Tailgate Party). He’s a decent singer, but I won’t go as far as saying he sounds like a pro. I would guess he’s known more for acting or reality TV. He’s got some nice choreography though! As an additional clue, a member of the audience rips off his shirt to reserve a club painted on his chest (like clubs from a deck of cards). Diver says, “I’m well-suited for the club. I know how to get the club goin!” This leads the panel to guess Pete Davidson (Nicole), Tom Sandoval (Ken) and DJ Pauly D (Robin).
8:25 p.m. — The third mystery celebrity performing tonight is Gazelle. In her clue package she reveals, “Last week was such a redemptive experience. Now I am ready to tackle the competition because I’m feeling right at home here on this stage. There were a lot of times I didn’t know if there was a place for me in the entertainment industry. At just eight years old I was pressured to change my name to blend in more with the herd. Casting directors couldn’t figure out where I fit because of my unique look. I wondered if I could ever truly be myself and pursue my greatest passions. Fortunately, the world is changing and there are more opportunities every day. I’m proud of my heritage and proud to continue to blaze a trail for little girls who look like me.” Visual clues included a young gazelle wearing a Hawaiian lei and a tutu, a sign that says “Threat Level: 3,” a test with the grade “A” on it and a surfboard.
8:30 p.m. — Gazelle is singing “The One That Got Away” by Katy Perry at Super Bowl XLIX. She has a beautiful voice and definitely sounds professional. I wonder if she might come from Broadway? She doesn’t sound like a typical pop star. Her technical abilities are top notch. For an additional clue, eight-time pro-bowler Antonio Gates brings out a football that says “Villain.” Gazelle says, “I’m not actually a villain, but I can play the part. Gazelle’s got range!” This leads the panel to guess Leighton Meester (Jenny), Constance Wu (Ken) and Auli’i Cravalho (Nicole).
8:35 p.m. — Next up is S’more. In his clue package he reveals, “Last week I burst forth with bravado and I’m thrilled to have made it to ‘NFL Night.’ I was born for the fearless life in the spotlight, but my father was afraid to lose his son to the fantastical world of fame. While I was still in high school a huge opportunity to work with an industry legend came my way. But when my dad found out he told me to turn down the gig. I made the hard decision to move out. Years down the road I conquered the Broadway stage, a lifelong goal. There was no way it could get any better, until one night after curtain call I saw my dad backstage. Hearing him say he was proud of me was really the biggest win I could as for. So dad, this one’s for you.” Visual clues included a cauldron, a TV with the letter “M” on the screen and a video game console.
8:40 p.m. — S’more is singing “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5 at Super Bowl LIII. He’s clearly a seasoned vocalist and performer. My guess hasn’t budged since last week. I’m convinced this is Justin Guarini, but what do I know? Three-time pro-bowler DeSean Jackson brings out a clue — a bucket of oranges. S’more says, “I’ve tasted victory before and it’s so sweet. I hope to do so again here at ‘The Masked Singer.'” The panel guesses S’more could be JC Chasez (Nicole), Kevin Richardson (Robin) or Simu Liu (Ken).
8:45 p.m. — The final performance of the night is an all-new wildcard! It’s Pickle and I love this costume. In his very first clue package, the dill reveals, “To be honest with you, I never imagined myself dressing up as a pickle, singing center stage. But now that I’m here, this wild boy’s planning on winning. And trust me, I’ve learned to never count myself out. When I was young all my teachers thought I was nothin. Said I was a hyper, disruptive kid who had no interest in anything but sports. It was basically decided that I was a bad boy with no future. But once I found my true passion, I became laser focused. Nothing or nobody was going to stand in my way. Lo and behold I reached massive success, rubbing elbows with some of the most famous people on earth — Tarantino, Scorsese, Short. Maybe you’ve heard of them. Yeah, my mouth still gets me into beef, but that hyper disruptive kid became a super successful hyper disruptive adult.” Visual clues included a playing card with a joker on it, graffiti, a mic and photos of Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese and Martin Short.
8:50 p.m. — Pickle is singing “Pinball Wizard” by The Who at Super Bowl XLIV. He doesn’t sound like a professional singer, but he’s got a solid voice and great energy. Jenny is in love with him and says, “That voice is familiar!” To give the panel some help, the NFL lounge opens up the grill where we see a blinking “On Air” sign. Pickle says, “When I speak, people listen. Are you listening, Ken? Kenny, are you listening? I get paid a lot to talk so pay attention, Kenny. I know each and every one of you just a little bit different and I’m bringing that BDE, that big dill energy. What? Just like Nick, that BPE, that big pickle energy.” He follows that up by smacking Nick on the butt. This leads the panel to guess Craig Kilborn (Robin), Dax Shepard (Robin), Conan O’Brien (Jenny) and Howard Stern (Ken).
8:55 p.m. — It’s been an electric night of performances, but alas, someone must go home. The singer with the least amount of votes will hang up their jersey AND mask. The studio audience has voted and the second singer from Group A going home is Diver.
9:02 p.m. — Before Diver is unmasked the panel submits their final guesses: Pauly D (Robin), Pauly D (Nicole), Tom Sandoval (Ken) and Tom Sandoval (Jenny). The time has come for Diver to unmask. He reveals himself to be actor and reality TV star Tom Sandoval! This makes Ken two-for-two on Season 10! It’s a miracle!
