The Masked Singer's latest talent hailing from under the sea is Crab.

On Wednesday, the second wildcard of season 5 was introduced to shake things up in Group B. Just like last week's Orca, Crab is here to make the singers in the competition work even harder for their spots. Every week from here on out, Crab will go up against the remaining Group B singers and try to stay in the competition. If Crab is eliminated though, he'll have to reveal his true identity. But if he manages to make it to the finale, he may just become the next champion of the show.

As we watch Crab week after week, we'll be updating this post with the best guesses we're seeing on the internet. So far, here's what we've gathered about Crab.

First up, the clues:

  • Crab said he's blessed to have had his dream come true "in a flash."

  • Crab claimed that at one point he felt like a "king crab."

  • Crab realized that "with every blessing, tragedy seems to follow" and said he's struggled with "darkness" that has followed him and his family.

  • Crab's claws are being taped up during his first clue package.

  • Crab's clue package included jellyfish, statues, a broken hand mirror, Mona Lisa painting, and a calculator that reads "2 + 3."

  • Despite going through tough times, Crab says the love of his family has helped him stand back up and "be a star again."

  • Crab's first clue package featured past Masked Singer costumes Bee costume (Gladys Knight) and Butterfly (Michelle Williams).

  • Crab revealed that his first crush was Janet Jackson and that he "grew up together on good times."

A lot of clues for one week, if you ask us! So, who could it be now that we have a few hints? So far, the judges have it narrowed down to three stars. Ken Jeong guessed singers Bobby Brown or Lenny Kravitz given Crab's outstanding vocal abilities and the fact that both celebrities have endured tragedy. Meanwhile, Robin Thicke thought it might be Johnny Gill after seeing all of the fish in the clue package.

Are the judges onto something? Possibly, but we've only seen Crab perform this one time, so maybe the answer will become clearer in the weeks ahead. One thing's for sure: Crab is certainly not going home anytime soon. With soulful and smooth vocals like that, he might just be the next Masked Singer winner. We shall see!
