Welp, Here's Who Won 'The Masked Singer' LN!
Much like your sleep paralysis demon, The Masked Singer refuses to die. We’ve barely had time to recuperate from the harrowing experience that was season 2 (that demonic Egg haunts me nightly), and the show is somehow already back for season 3. This time, we’re dealing with criminally insane atrocities like the Banana (a costume that has categorically ruined fruit for me), the Kitty (who makes the felines in Cats look normal), and the Taco (which is honestly the most upsetting thing I’ve ever seen). As someone who spent this morning writing about Miley Cyrus popping a pimple on Cody Simpson’s back, I’ve seen some sh*t.
Like, can we please just discuss this for a moment?
I’D LITERALLY RATHER CHILL WITH VOLDEMORT.
Anyway, in the event that this is your first time watching The Masked Singer, (1) turn around and run away now, it’s not too late for you, and (2) allow me to explain how the show works. Each week, several “A-list celebrities” (read: C-list former celebrities who need to fire their agents ASAP) shove their poor, broken bodies into a fleet of truly terrifying costumes and then take the stage to sing—and in some unfortunate cases—dance. The show’s judges, Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, and Nicole Scherzinger, then stoically attempt to guess who is “inside” the mask (shudder) and almost always have no idea what the f*ck they’re talking about.
Because my therapist told me confronting my fears is the best way to deal with them, I’ve created a weekly tracker to, um, track who gets unmasked each week. Join me, please—I can’t go through this alone again.
Week Sixteen: The Night Angel, The Turtle and The Frog
The People Behind the Mask: Jesse McCartney
The Masked Singer is finally over after literally 84 years, and not one—but three!—innocent "celebs" were freed from their furry prisons. First up, the Turtle, who ended up being Jesse McCartney. I'll add his name to the list of people I pray for nightly.
Next up, the Frog aka Bow Wow. Or as I'll henceforth be calling him, Bow Why Tho:
And finally, the winner of Masked Singer was none other than The Night Angel, aka Kandi Burruss. Honestly, love her, love this for her.
Week Fifteen: The Rhino
The Person Behind the Mask: Barry Zito
I have many questions, including but not limited to WHY?
WEEK FOURTEEN: The Kitty
The Person Behind the Mask: Jackie Evancho
Personally, I am shocked and disturbed that this didn’t end up being Cats star Judi Dench.
WEEK THIRTEEN: The Astronaut
The Person Behind the Mask: Hunter Hayes
Quite frankly, NASA’s silence on this is deafening.
WEEK TWELVE: The Banana
The Person Behind the Mask: Bret Michaels
The Banana has finally been peeled, revealing himself to be none other than Bret Michaels. I’m so excited, I’m so excited, I’m so...scared.
WEEK ELEVEN: The Kangaroo
The Person Behind the Mask: Jordyn Woods
This is quite literally a case for the FBI.
WEEK TEN: The White Tiger
The Person Behind the Mask: Rob Gronkowski
Hey, all you cool cats and kittens! Rob Gronkowski emerged from the White Tiger and looked incredibly pleased with himself in the process. Literally never going to get over this image of him waving his furry paws around in excitement.
WEEK NINE: The T-Rex
The Person Behind the Mask: JoJo Siwa
Welp. It happened. Please respect my privacy during this time. No further comments.
WEEK EIGHT: The Swan
The Person Behind the Mask: Bella Thorne
Honestly, this feels extremely on brand for Bella Thorne. In fact, to quote the immortal words of everyone’s favorite podcast Who? Weekly, GOOD FORM, BELLA THORNE!
WEEK SEVEN: The Bear
The Person Behind the Mask: ...Sarah...Palin
The Masked Singer has rarely rendered me speechless, but watching Sarah Palin emerge from a bear costume after rapping “Baby Got Back” has made me unable to form words. Too busy screaming and crying.
WEEK SIX: The Taco
The Person Behind the Mask: Tom Bergeron
Great news: The Taco’s reign of emotional terror has come to an end and it is now safe to eat your favorite food. I can’t pretend that watching Tom Bergeron’s lost soul emerge from that sinister tomato head wasn’t a hazard to my well-being, but at least he’s no longer trapped in a sea of lettuce and cheese.
WEEK FIVE: The Mouse
The Person Behind the Mask: Dionne Warwick
I don’t know if this is simply a result of The Masked Singer increasing its cursed hold on my brain, but I actually think the Mouse costume is extremely cute and I’m alarmed she was unmasked. Not as alarmed, however, as I am to find out that Dionne Warwick’s PR team signed off on this show.
WEEK FOUR: The Elephant
The Person Behind the Mask: Tony Hawk
After taking the stage and performing “Friday I’m in Love,” which, let me be clear, I WAS NOT IN LOVE WITH, the Elephant ripped off his own head and revealed himself to be, um, professional skateboarder Tony Hawk. Please respect my privacy at this time, because I’m simply not sure what’s happening right now and I might be in the midst of an existential crisis. If you don’t hear from me next week, it’s likely because I’ve taken refuge in the remains of Tony’s hollowed-out elephant costume, thx.
WEEK THREE: Miss Monster
The Person Behind the Mask: Chaka Khan
Staring into Miss Monster’s one eye for the past few weeks has been completely traumatizing, but not gonna lie: I’M GONNA MISS THIS FLUFFY FRIEND. Join me in waving goodbye to the only costume on this show that was actually kinda cute.
WEEK TWO: THE LLAMA
The Person Behind the Mask: Drew Carey
The Llama turned out to be comedian Drew Carey, who emerged from that decapitated head looking more confused than ever. Like, I’m pretty sure he’ll never be the same after this. If you, too, are worried about Drew Carey’s emotional health after being shoved into a llama carcass for days on end, please find the nearest available candle and form a prayer circle in his honor.
WEEK ONE: THE ROBOT
The Person Behind the Mask: Lil Wayne
Wait, I’m sorry, is The Masked Singer actually going to feature real celebs this year? Because I, for one, was shook when the Robot metaphorically gave birth to Lil Wayne. Turns out, he chose the Robot costume because his kids told him to, which, MY HEART. I was not prepared for The Masked Singer to make me this emotional, dammit!
Tune in next week for another thrilling and alarming reveal, because yerp, we’ll be updating this post in real time.
