GROUP B
Boogie Woogie
(“I Contemplate in a Issue Known as Love,” The Darkness) Boogie Woogie took on a robust vocal drawback with a music that’s as lots about persona because it’s differ. That said, he confirmed that he’s acquired good administration of his falsetto, slipping in and out of it effortlessly. This entire persona is silliness, and he positively embraced that with a feel-good effectivity that moreover delivered vocally.
Clues & Guesses: BW — can we identify you BW? — bought right here out with lots pump and swag, slamming into Nick and clearly having a blast wanting like an outsized disco Muppet. As he owned this disco stage his clue bundle deal revealed that he spent his childhood desirous to be the focus.
As he tried to shift into leisure, he found blended success, though. He said he had needs of being a clown, educating himself to juggle, and a magician. He even entered a experience current and gained, nonetheless when he shifted to attempting to make it for precise, he wound up struggling to make ends meet as a busker.
Seen clues included 4 quarters from 1972 in his busker’s magician’s hat, a Boogie Woogie Journal, and the crimson, yellow, and blue balls he juggled. On stage, he said, “My most vital magic trick for this whole state of affairs is to make the other monsters and singers disappear.”
Ken went collectively along with his gut — which was clearly listening to a different individual — collectively along with his Adam Lambert guess. Robin, though, thinks he’s shut, nonetheless was choosing up comedian vibes. He thought of the “clown prince” who’s carried out a magician on SNL, Andy Samberg. Rita, nonetheless, thought it might probably be a legit rock star with that fluctuate, Mika, or possibly magician Criss Angel.
Our wild guess — on account of we’re capable of play, too — is comedian and ventriloquist Paul Zerdin, who labored in a magic retailer, and gained every The Big Experience Current in 1996 and America’s Acquired Experience in 2015. He was moreover born in ’72, which could make clear the dates on these quarters, and has been recognized to incorporate singing into his act.

Home Ranger
(“Unhealthy Blood,” Taylor Swift) Home Ranger isn’t a singer, nonetheless is fearless to return out proper right here and easily put all of it available on the market anyway. Vocally, this was not good by any stretch, nonetheless he was able to keep that remember, displaying sturdy lungs, and his pitch wasn’t the worst we’ve got had on the current. Most importantly, he was entertaining, which is type of the aim.
Clues & Guesses: Nick not solely was assured he’s conscious of who that’s, nonetheless he was shocked that Ken didn’t. In his clue bundle deal, the Home Ranger — who’s notably shorter than Nick — said TMS has been on his bucket guidelines for years. He talked about profitable gold and scoring {{hardware}} to placed on spherical his neck, whereas displaying a report card with an A+ for PE.
We moreover seen a house of enjoying playing cards and a pink subject of sweets as the one that claimed to be Taylor Swift’s besties described himself as futuristic and residing on his private planet, an identical to his character. He moreover conceded he isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. “Taylor Swift is my homie,” Home Ranger instructed Nick. “We go method once more. She’s one amongst my besties.”
Jenny took a leap by connecting the PE grade to Tracy Morgan’s movie Fist Fight. Robin, too, said that was his guess as he heard Tracy’s distinctive vocal cadence on this provide. Ken, though, puzzled if maybe it was Floyd Mayweather “merely having fulfilling.”
Rita puzzled in regards to the dwelling of enjoying playing cards tying to the house of Wayans for a Marlon guess, whereas she as soon as extra requested Nick to tell her about clues on his costume. Nick well-known his belt buckle, which seems type of like a traditional protractor compass or maybe a stylized clock face, would just about give his id away.

Griffin
(“Rewrite the Stars,” Zac Efron & Zendaya [from The Greatest Showman]) Griffin surprised us with a fantastically rich prime quality to his voice. He truly took possession of this music with a lyric that appeared to the contact him personally. There did look like some vocal strain on the larger end of his register, suggesting that he isn’t as educated as he’s gifted, nonetheless he truly does have a nice tone for singing.
Clues & Guesses: An in a single day success, in line with his first clue bundle deal, Griffin shared that he wasn’t prepared for the massive heights of his fandom, saying that his “first hit immortalized” him. At this second, he acquired hit inside the head with a “School’s Out” bell, suggesting he’s acquired a teen star background — maybe on a school-themed current?
Talking about his fame, he recalled the time a woman instructed him she would take grime off of his car to take home to her children, suggesting the age of his fanbase on the highest of his fame. We moreover seen a 6-pointed “star” that appeared like a sheriff’s badge and a VHS tape with a Jack-O-Lantern on it as he talked about how he realized he’s “solely human” at the moment, as his future was rewritten and he realized that this life is effective.
Now, he is ready to take every various that comes his method, like this one. When requested what being on the current means, Griffin said, “The stage is my glad place. I adore it proper right here. I actually really feel so lucky.”
Rita was torn between Matthew Lillard and Freddie Prinze Jr., who every have spooky pedigrees to tie into the Halloween-themed video tape. Ken, though, shifted to possibly David Arquette, on account of badge, in Scream, which even Jenny wanted to concede was “not harmful,” agreeing with Jenny. “I’ll take all of those.” Griffin said.
The moment gut response we would have liked to the clue about life giving him a little bit little bit of a actuality look at was Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek, though we’re undecided Griffin is tall enough. The current was monumentally large when he was youthful, and he revealed in November 2024 that he’s been battling colorectal most cancers.

Bat
(“Espresso,” Sabrina Carpenter) Bat looked to be channeling the Domingo SNL parodies larger than Sabrina’s take with a extremely pitchy and awkward vocal effectivity. She’s not a singer the least bit, nonetheless she’s acquired loads of sass and persona. Appearing on the stage didn’t seem to be completely in her wheelhouse, based mostly totally on her strikes, nonetheless she’s positively assured inside the spotlight.
Clues & Guesses: After she threw up a extreme kick in her entrance, Jenny quipped to Robin, “She seems like she’d be time.” She then all nonetheless confirmed that, suggesting she’s a “misunderstood” social gathering lady, a “creature of the night time time,” and “a little bit little bit of a bat-ass.”
Largely, though, she talked about being perceived as a villain — which she and her precise buddies utterly know just isn’t true — on account of she’s been surrounded by a “bunch of lunatics.” That screams actuality star who hangs with of us for the current, a la most of the Bravo-verse, and is a bona fide villain (too many to name, in truth). A “24/7” sign solely extra suggested actuality TV.
She said she’s “perpetually villainized” and portrayed as a “blood-sucking backstabber,” to which she tells all her haters to “get well from it.” So, she type of enjoys the detrimental consideration, we’re guessing, that she is going to get in that sphere. We moreover seen a “Bat at Enterprise” card, a grizzly bear, and a bunch of stuff on her desk merely disappearing after it acquired stabbed with a knife.
After her effectivity, she said, “It has been a minute since I’ve seen you, Jenny,” Bat said. When Nick marveled she was giving out clues already, she added, “You too, Nick. We really spent a trip collectively this yr.” That acquired a massive response from the host, who does not know who that’s.
Jenny, too, was choosing up Housewives vibes, whereas she on a regular basis connects a Bear to Chicago. As such, her guess was Larsa Pippen. Ken thought-about Lisa Rinna, admitting he doesn’t know lots inside the actuality TV world, whereas Rita was instead considering Kristin Cavallari and Bethenny Frankel, who Nick admitted “is my homie.”
Nonetheless is she Bat? There are too many potentialities and too few clues for us to even weigh in on this one.

Pearl
(“Saving All My Love for You,” Whitney Houston) Pearl has a little bit little bit of gravel in her voice, nonetheless she needn’t have anxious about taking one amongst the voices of the trendy interval as she did Whitney and herself very proud. This was a commanding effectivity with an unbelievable sound. Pearl did each half she wanted to do and could have already secured a spot inside the subsequent spherical with this effectivity.
Clues & Guesses: The first thrust of Pearl’s backstory in her first clue bundle deal was that, like a Pearl, she is the treasure inside a difficult exterior. She’s on a regular basis preferred performing and sees herself as a softy at coronary coronary heart, nonetheless no one else truly sees her like that on account of she finds it onerous to shake that onerous edge.
She said that “of us like me aren’t promised a possibility at an enormous break,” so she took any gig she may get until she lastly made it. Alongside one of the simplest ways, we seen a seashore, a ship marina, a seaside bar, the place she picked from a bowl of cherries, an umbrella, and a baseball.
When requested how this takes her exterior of her comfort zone, Pearl instructed Nick, “I can inform you that I’ve dressed this fancy sooner than. Usually as soon as I’m on the crimson carpet they normally ask me what I’m sporting, I merely say, I acquired it on sale.”
Robin said he was getting Regina King vibes whereas Jenny recalled a karaoke queen that surprised her on a tour, Shania Twain. Rita, though, points this is usually a massive punk or rock singer. She tied “Cherry Bomb” to the bowl and Joan Jett, nonetheless are any of those girls this diva?

UNMASKING 4
An eclectic group of masks for sure, with some fulfilling surprises alongside one of the simplest ways. Boogie Woogie and Griffin truly surprised us, whereas Pearl appears to be this season’s most legendary diva — or she merely carries herself and sings like one! Okay, lady!
That leaves Bat and Home Ranger in competitors for us to be the first unmasked, as clearly neither of them are singers, and neither of them have been notably stellar tonight. Home Ranger had just a bit additional vocal charisma on the stage, along with good stage persona.
He was positively giving off additional performer vibes than Bat’s stilted effectivity, so we must supply the sting to him this week… after which most likely be capable to see him go subsequent week. It turned out this viewers agreed, grounding the Bat for good.
Her Crack the Case Clue Case was gold earrings, to which Bat added, “Gold is solely a part of every foremost life event I’ve had, along with the debut of my first single.” Actuality stars with musical aspirations are undoubtedly nothing new … nonetheless after that effectivity, it’s a little bit of a swerve proper right here. Even Robin’s face didn’t seem able to compute her phrases.
- Robin Thicke: Bethenny Frankel
- Jenny McCarthy: Larsa Pippen
- Ken Jeong: Lisa Rinna
- Rita Ora: Heidi Montag … until Jenny said she in no way met her … then, she jumped on Robin’s guess, Bethenny Frankel
Rita may want been throughout alongside together with her guess, nonetheless none of those areas have been the most effective place. Probably it’s on account of she wasn’t anyplace close to being an important villain to emerge from her current, nonetheless no one was even sniffing spherical Vanderpump Pointers as Scheana Shay was revealed.
That ultimate clue she revealed pointed to not less than one her largest singles, “Good as Gold,” with the actual fact star having launched quite a few tracks, along with “Apples” and “Sweet & Bitter.”
The Masked Singer continues subsequent Wednesday with “Ghostbusters Evening time” at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
