Week 3 brought back the remaining group A contestants on The Masked Singer. Four great performances, one reveal, and a whole lot of clues have left fans debating who the celebrity finalists in this group are.
While last season of The Masked Singer kept fans with each group for three weeks at a time, this season is a little different. With group A week one and group B week two, it was a surprise to find out that week three would not be group C. Instead, we have our four remaining masked vocalists from group A back for round two. The episode started with a surprise guest panelist for the first time this season. Community's Jole McHale joined the judges again, making an entrance performing as The Robin, or judge Robin Thicke.
This season seems to be the most challenging of all, and yet the judges' guesses seem to be more in line with fans this season than ever before. Well, some of the judges. It's rare that any fans are ever on the same page as Ken Jeong. But fans and judges alike missed something we here at Screen Rant were the only publication to get right: that Giraffe was Brian Austin Green. Beverly Hills 90210 fans everywhere are going to be sad to see him go, but he did a great job of showing the world he can really sing. Unfortunately, the competition was just too tough this season and tonight ended Giraffe's time in this competition.
POPCORN
Song: "Falling" by Harry Styles
Clues: Popcorn let us know her favorite part of the competition was flirting with Nick. After the flirting, she told us about how, as a tiny kernel, she had a bizarre condition—she developed severe anxiety. Visual clues included Corn and the Beautiful, cats, 16 candles, Rubik's cube, a crimper, and a pride flag. Her drone clue was the planet, Venus. She said the second rock from the sun may be far away but should bring us closer to her.
Judges' Guesses: Katy Perry, Vanessa Williams, Gloria Gaynor
Screen Rant Prediction: Clues like all the 80s references and the planet Venus, which is the name of a Bananarama song which featured none other than Taylor Dayne, support our prediction. Popcorn is Taylor Dayne.
SUN
Song: "Praying" by Kesha
Clues: Sun mentioned growing up in a fractured home. Visual clues showed flowers, a blue watering can, a spider in an hourglass with red liquid, woods, butterfly heart, candy canes, and ugly rumors being burned. She mentioned making life magical and going into the woods. She spoke of walking the line and burning ugly rumors out of her life. Her drone clue was an 8 ball. She asked if this magic 8 ball help viewers conjure up her identity. She said outlook not so hot.
Judges' Guesses: Katherine McPhee, Carrie Underwood, Mandy Moore
Screen Rant Prediction: LeAnn Rimes
SNOW OWLS
Song: "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" by Meghan Trainor featuring John Legend
Clues: The Snow Owls spoke of always having had each other's backs. Male Snow Owl spoke of a messy breakup and her being there for him. The female Snow Owl spoke of almost missing out on an opportunity fit for a queen, but he said she could do it and supported her. She called him her knight in shining armor. Visual clues included an anchor with management on it, DAL on a basketball, and a bouncy castle. Their drone clue was a witch's hat.
Judges' Guesses: Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Rob Schneider and Elle King.
Screen Rant Prediction: Clint Black and Lisa Hartman. Tonight seemed to make it more clear that the country music couple is behind the Snow Owl masks. The witch's hat was a clear clue pointing to Harman's Bewitched spin-off Tabitha.
