The Masked Singer returns Wednesday, Jan. 23 at 9 p.m. EST. Check out our spoilers and live recap of the show including clues and guesses for who's behind the Rabbit, Bee, Poodle, Raven and Alien masks.
Fox's hit show, The Masked Singer returns January 23 for its fourth episode in which yet another singer will be unmasked. Based on a Japanese reality TV Series, The Masked Singer has become a national obsession as fans agonize over the secret identities of the singers hidden behind the masks. During episode four, the remaining five masked contestants from episode two will return with new clues and performances for the audience to puzzle over.
Which Singers Have Been Unmasked So Far?
If you're tuning into the show for the first time The Masked Singer is a truly ridiculous singing competition that's less about having killer chops and more about making the audience scratch their heads. The show takes 12 celebrities whose identities have been hidden from audience members and judges alike. Each week, the show provides a small handful of clues about the contestant ahead of his or her performance. At the end of the night, whichever performer the audience deems the worst singer will end up being unmasked while the remaining members move on to the next round of the show. In time, all masked performers will be revealed but until then we'll all be driven collectively crazy trying to sort out who is behind the elaborate facades.
Episode one saw the first six contestants - Hippo, Unicorn, Lion, Deer, Monster, and Peacock take the stage with the Hippo being unmasked at the end as the Steelers' Antonio Brown. During Episode two, the next six contestants — Rabbit, Alien, Raven, Pineapple, Poodle and Bee — faced off against one another while also wearing elaborate head-to-toe costumes. At the end of the episode, the Pineapple received the lowest number of votes and was revealed to be Tommy Chong from the comedy duo Cheech and Chong. In episode three, the Deer got the lowest number of votes and, when unmasked, was identified as former NFL Quarterback and sports analyst Terry Bradshaw.
Once the show begins, we'll be providing a live-blogged recap of everything that happens, including the clues given and songs performed by each of the masked contestants. In addition, we'll provide our best-guessed spoilers for who might be behind each of the masks. Episode four is one you won't want to miss, so be sure to check in with us on Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT for a full recap of the event.
