The Masked Singer 12 Week 7: Who Was Unmasked on Who Are You Fest?
The Masked Singer season 12 continues on to week 7 with Nick Cannon as host, Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Rita Ora on the panel. This week, the panel continues on to the Group C PREMIERE. The last group of contestants will take the stage for the first time. They include Sherlock Hound, Strawberry Shortcake, Royal Knight, Ice King and Macaron, who will compete for a spot in the next round. TWO celebrities will be unmasked by the end of the night.
Big news. Or not! The Ding Dong Keep it On Bell twist returned, but the panel used it last week. NOBODY in this group is eligible to be saved.
The name of this week’s theme is vague. But it appears it’s a DJ club/Festival theme. Or something! Everybody’s dressed like they are going to Coachella.
Royal Knight
Clues: New singers mean new “Masked Ambassadors” for Royal Knight, it’s Savannah Chrisley who appeared last season. The knight went on a “quest.” But there were obstacles along the way. A TV remote is a clue. A Cinderella shoe is a clue as well.
Performance: You and I by Lady Gaga – Maybe she’s a reality star like Savannah. Unlike Savannah, however, Royal Knight can carry a tune and stays on key more or less. She sings with a southern accent. The On Stage Clue includes a “merch wall” featuring a t shirt. “Ready to Sleigh” it says. “No matter the season I’m always ready to sleigh the competition,” she says. Jenny guesses Ashley Tisdale. Rita guesses Lily James. Robin guesses Hayden Panettiere.
Sherlock Hound
Clues: Barry Zito from season 3 is the “Ambassador.” His family was into music. But he wanted to run wild and he got into rock and roll. He toured. Barry and Sherlock jammed.
Performance: Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chile Peppers – So, obviously Sherlock is a musician. He SOUNDS like a 90s era rock musician. He sings this RHCP songs like he was meant to sing it. Fans of this particular singer will figure it out immediately. On Stage Clue: “No. 1 Hit” He says, “I know what it’s like to be No. 1 in the world. Rita guesses a bunch of rock singers. Ken guesses Chad Kroeger from Nickelback. Robin guesses Brandon Boyd from Incubus.
Ice King
Clues: Hanson are Ice King’s ambassador! Speakers are a clue. He ran away from Hollywood. A passport. He’s easing his way back into music. Hanson helped him get his start.
Performance: Tonight Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae – Hm. He sings like an ex-boyband member or an aughts male pop star. Kinda like Jesse McCartney (who has already been on Masked Singer). He’s not a fantastic singer, but he’s probably cute enough under that mask. On Stage Clue: “Drop the fire beat” He says, “I’ve traveled the world, dropping fire beats around the world. Tonight is the most lit.” Robin guesses Pete Wentz from Fallout Boy. Ken guesses Joe Jonas (audience doesn’t like that!) Jenny guesses the streamer Mr. Beast. UH NOOOO. None of the clues so far match.
Macaron
Clues: It’s a mashup of sandwiches and cookies. OH YUCK. Willie Robertson from Duck Dynasty is this chick’s ambassador. Hopefully she sucks and gets unmasked tonight. She’s been struck by lightning.
Performance: Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen – Oh yes. Her singing is tuneless. It could be worse, but she’s barely keeping in tone and sings with no range. Unless the last mask is really horribly, Macaron will be unmasked. On Stage Clue: “Unstoppable blooming all year long” She says she’s overcome a lot in her life, but i unstoppable. Ken guesses Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Jenny guesses Monica Lewinsky. Oh sure. Monica and right wing Willie are best pals. Stupid guess. Robin guesses Ariana Maddux.
Strawberry Shortcake
Clues: Hayley Orrantia is the ambassador. She calls Strawb a festival favorite. She sat on the sidelines for years. She finally got a call and opened an iconic festival.
Performance: Slow Burn by Kacey Musgraves – She can sing. The show saved her for the final showstopping performance. She’s a pop singer of some kind. And again, the internets certainly know who this is. She’s more of a stylist than a rangy singer. So a singer-songwriter, probably. On Stage Clue: “Break a Leg” Her breakthrough role showed the world her potential. So an actress too. Rita guesses Rene Rapp. Jenny guesses Lana Del Rey. Robin guesses Rachel Ziegler.
A Singer is UNMASKED
The first singer of Group C to be unmasked is….Macaron. No surprise there! She can’t sing. Final guesses: Robin: Ariana Maddux Ken: Gypsy Rose Blanchard Rita: Bethany Hamilton Jenny: Bethany Hamilton And Macaron is…Bethany Hamilton.
When Rita said it earlier in the show, I thought OH YEAH probably. Bethany got her arm chomped off by a shark while surfing. She’s a professional athlete. And like Willie, she’s an evangelical right wing Christian. Lately she’s be screeching online about “men” competing in women’s sports. Fun fact: American Idol alum and judge Carrie Underwood played a role in a faith-based telemovie of her life.
