"The Masked Singer" is back for its seventh season on Fox, and returning to judge the stiff competition are Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke, with Nick Cannon hosting again. This time around, the show has a new exciting theme for the group of contestants to follow. Season seven — which premiered on March 9 — divides the monsters into three categories: the good, the bad, and the cuddly.
To kick things off for each team, "The Masked Singer" introduced Firefly, McTerrier, Ram, Cyclops, and Thingamabob in its season premiere, all of whom were fighting to win the Golden Mask trophy. During the March 30 episode, the show added a few more contestants, and the competition is stiff! Keep reading for updates on all the unmasked singers and those still in the running to be crowned season seven's winner.
Miss Teddy performed "Tell It to My Heart" by Taylor Dayne for Team Cuddly during the March 30 episode. It's still unclear who's under the mask, but the panelists' guesses range from Lauryn Hill to Vanessa Williams to Jill Scott.
Ringmaster also made her debut on the March 30 episode for Team Good. Ringmaster delivered a flawless rendition of "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. But who's under the mask? The judges think it could be Olivia Rodrigo, Kacey Musgraves, or Kelly Clarkson. Guess only time will tell.
Armadillo delivered a feel-good performance of "Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers for Team Good during the March 30 episode. So far, the judges think Chuck Norris, Erik Estrada, or Vin Diesel may be under the mask.
Stepping up for Team Bad, Hydra came in singing "Hey Soul Sister" by Train during the March 30 episode. The judges couldn't quite nail down who's under the mask, but their guesses included Statler and Waldorf; "The Big Lebowski"'s Jeff Bridges/John Goodman/Steve Buscemi; and "Three Amigos" Chevy Chase/Steve Martin/Martin Short. Clearly, they're stumped!
The Firefly graced the stage in the season premiere for Team Good, performing a slow version of Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody." Fans online immediately pointed out the strong possibility that the glowing beetle could be Teyana Taylor, but the judges also guessed singers like Alicia Keys, Monica, and even comedian Aisha Tyler.
The armor-clad Ram performed "I Want You to Want Me" by Cheap Trick for Team Bad during the first episode and had the judges guessing several NFL stars who could be under the mask — including Jim Harbaugh, Matthew Stafford, and Peyton Manning. However, the Ram told them that they were "dead freakin' wrong," and they were indeed.
During the March 16 episode, it was revealed that the Ram was none other than sports broadcaster Joe Buck. His unmasking came after he delivered an energetic performance of "Learn to Fly" by Foo Fighters.
The McTerrier had an eventful performance for Team Good during the season seven premiere, singing Loverboy's "Working For the Weekend." But mid-way through the performance, their costume head fell off, however, the judges turned around before they were able to identify them. In the end, the McTerrier received the least amount of votes and was subsequently eliminated from the competition. The unmasking revealed that Food Network star Duff Goldman was underneath the costume.
The Thingamabob repped for Team Cuddly during the season premiere with an electric performance of Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive." Teasing a clue that rock music is a major influence on them, judges initially guessed that the person behind the mask was the lead singer of Metallica, James Hetfield. They also predicted that the celebrity could be wrestler Chris Jericho or former NFL player Terrell Owens. However, during the March 23 episode, it was revealed that Thingamabob was Jordan Mailata from the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Cyclops put on a rocking performance of "My Sacrifice" by Creed on behalf of Team Bad during its debut on March 9. Based on its clues, the judges threw out a few guesses of its identity so far, including William Zabka, Danny McBride, and Rob Dyrdek from MTV's "Ridiculousness." But turns out, it was actor Jorge Garcia all along.
The Lemur's time on "The Masked Singer" was brief. After making her debut on March 30 and singing "I Feel the Earth Move" by Carole King, it was revealed that Christie Brinkley was under the mask.
