They then obtained to chill because the High 2 went at it once more with yet another music every earlier than a remaining determination that shocked the home.

We are going to say it was a whirlwind evening of performances, with earlier front-runners faltering only a bit and a few who we weren’t taking a look at to win actually stepping up. However this crop of 4 finalists has been fairly superb all season, so the margins have been so small between them, it actually was doable for anybody to take house the Golden Masks Trophy.

And on the enjoyable facet, the competitors was even tighter for the Golden Ear Trophy, with Robin and Jenny coming into the evening tied with 4 right guesses every, adopted by Rita with two, and Ken with one. However with 4 unmaskings coming, it was anybody’s sport.

So who gained the Golden Ear? The Golden Masks? And maybe most significantly who’re these 4 superb singers?!

Let’s leap proper in with this week’s masks. And don’t fret, earlier than we get to the stunning unmasking(s), we will make you energy by means of the horrible (and sometimes good) guesses made by our illustrious panel of Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora first. We do that as a result of we love … to torture you.

(“Pink Pony Membership,” Chappell Roan) As all the time, Rita is a bit camp in her vocal and bodily supply, however contemplating that is The Masked Singer, we will not actually choose camp. As a quintet quantity with the finalists, this can be a greater than odd music alternative. Truthfully, it might have labored higher in the event that they’d have simply walked out on the finish and perhaps not even carried out it along with her. Rita has the pipes for this and was doing simply superb on her personal.

(“Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,” KT Tunstall) Pearl pushed all the pieces she had into this efficiency, stretching her vocal and discovering the perimeters of her gravely vocal pathways and it created a fantastically uncooked and palpable efficiency. She’s such a seasoned professional as an artist with a wonderful signature sound. She is simply pure ardour when she sings.

Clues & Guesses: As soon as once more, Pearl opened the finale with speak about how her “uncooked” and “unapologetic” lifestyle and her profession stood in the best way of her personal success. However she additionally recalled at an audition seeing somebody write “N” and “O.” Somewhat than give up, she closed her eyes and persevered, solely to open and see “NOW” written, as in “signal her now.” So she realized to not make assumptions about how you will be perceived. Simply be and let it occur.

Her shock telephone name got here from her daughter: “Hey mother, what a loopy out of your consolation zone this expertise this has been for you and I can not let you know how unbelievably proud I’m of you for doing it. That is by far the good factor you have ever performed. And also you’re completely killing it. You are gonna win this factor!”

She additionally revealed a connection to Jenny, “Not solely did we stroll the identical carpet, however you watched me win one in every of my largest awards on the AMAs.”

As a member of the family clue, her model new son-in-law got here on to speak about “Mama Pearl,” who talked about how scared he was to ask her for her daughter’s hand in marriage as a result of she is one robust oyster. He understands, although, as she raised her daughter alone.

Whereas she informed us she’s not Shania Twain final week, debunking Jenny’s favourite guess, she did drop an enormous “ELVIS” clue. Her Q&A revealed her favourite meals is sweet, is “a little bit higher than” a gold file holder.

Pearl selecting to sing Dolly Parton for Grand Ole Opry Night time was no mistake, as she has adored the nation music legend for years. She even shared the story of when the pair obtained to share the stage, and she or he didn’t know what to put on.

Her on-stage clue was a flexing bicep, which Pearl defined, “As a powerful girl, there’s nothing I like greater than making others really feel sturdy, too. In actual fact, I have been quoted as saying that.”

Final week, our robust famous person opened up about a part of how she gained a few of that arduous exterior, revealing that she left her small city house as a young person earlier than graduating highschool and wound up working at a bar.

She’s all the time liked performing and sees herself as a softy at coronary heart, however nobody else actually sees her like that as a result of she finds it laborious to shake that arduous edge.

She mentioned that “individuals like me aren’t promised an opportunity at a giant break,” so she took any gig she may get till she lastly made it. Alongside the best way, we noticed 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 consolation zone, Pearl informed Nick, “I can let you know that I’ve dressed this fancy earlier than. Normally after I’m on the crimson carpet and so they ask me what I am sporting, I simply say, I obtained it on sale.”

Whereas the panel wasn’t making early guesses, we’re solely rising increasingly assured that is the “Redneck Lady” herself, Gretchen Wilson, who’s all the time “Right here for the Occasion.” Her connection to Elvis can be when she was one of many featured artists on his posthumous album of vacation duets, the place she obtained to sing “Merry Christmas Child” with him.

Gretchen additionally dropped out of the eighth grade to go work as a prepare dinner and bartender in a bar in rural Illinois after rising up in Pocahontas, IL (pop. 680). And, to tie with extra outdated clues, she’s mentioned that after she praised Dolly Parton’s pants, the icon let her put on them when the 2 of them shared the stage as a part of a tribute to ladies in nation music on the 2019 CMA Awards.

(“Moon River,” Audrey Hepburn) Coral adopted up a robust Billie Eilish cowl that left everybody in tears final week with this extra old style theatrical efficiency of what is principally change into a normal. It was a beautiful and clean vocal, however did not actually do a lot. In case you’re making an attempt to make the case that you could be a contemporary pop star, perhaps Breakfast at Tiffany’s is not the best way to go — or for those who’re making an attempt to win a contest.

Clues & Guesses: In her remaining clue bundle, Coral once more talked about her franchise, which she mentioned has been a combined blessing. Sure, it helped her fulfill her goals of stardom, however it’s additionally stored her from attaining her musical aspirations, as nobody appears keen to see past that function. She mentioned of TMS, it is the “excellent place to come back if you’ve obtained one thing to show.”

Her thriller telephone name got here from her father: “Hey kiddo, it is dad. Simply wished to say that it doesn’t matter what occurs tonight, you have actually already gained. I am simply so extremely happy with you. Watching you on stage, I can’t assist however do not forget that younger lady singing and dancing to Broadway songs in our lounge considering perhaps our large goals are doable. Properly, you are now residing that dream, which is the best present a dad may ask for.”

Final week, Coral mentioned she was one of many youngest contestants to get this far and talked about how her franchise and Rita’s franchises have been going to be making nice music collectively later this yr.

For “Soundtrack of My Life” evening, we obtained to satisfy Coral’s BFF, who shared that they met throughout an audition and “chemistry check” for an enormous mission that will go on to vary each of their lives six years in the past. We noticed a “Musical” movie slate, bouquet of lilies and a skateboard, too.

On stage, she shared that her dad and mom are additionally big influences. “They have been there for me by means of the good instances and the actually troublesome instances in my life, and I actually, really can be nowhere with out them,” she mentioned, including, “I like you, mother and pop!”

Final week, Coral informed us she’s really well-known for an enormous franchise, earlier than sharing she has an Anonymouse (Demi Lovato) connection. For her Q&A, we realized her franchise is in Rita’s “similar household,” her connection to Anonymouse is “the happiest place on Earth,” and she or he doesn’t come from a well-known household.

Coral beforehand revealed to us that she and her dad bonded for years over the music of the Rat Pack, and this was really their favourite music. She talked about how he was the one by her facet each day when she moved from East to West Coast to chase her dream, leaving her feeling lonely and terrified.

Visible clues this admitted shy lady revealed throughout included a ghost, highschool class ring, an outdated radio, and a UFO dangling on a string. Her slot machine clue was crimson apples, along with her including, “If you can also make it there, you can also make it wherever!”

For her second clue bundle, Coral went spooky with photographs of a spider and a werewolf as she talked about bringing that BDE (Massive Donkey Power) to a efficiency devoted to the “main man” in her life. He was apparently an precise main man she first was a pal … after which that blossomed into extra.

We additionally noticed her studying from her very personal comedian e-book, which had the panel enthusiastic about superheroes. Coral’s fairy story clue was “Coral and the Silver Display screen.” She defined in her peppy method, “With a little bit magic and loads of laborious work, you can also sing and dance on the silver display screen.”

Straight away within the premiere, Coral liked her costume when she first noticed it, praising it is majestic look with laborious, robust edges, “the type that is sturdy and resilient.

She shared that she spent years begging individuals to let her sing, however it took eight years of rejection earlier than she obtained the possibility. From a little bit lady struggling by means of the insanity of the music trade, she mentioned one small victory (a single sure) was her voice being heard throughout the globe.

“All these nos simply made me stronger, and all it took was one sure to start out a method to success,” she mentioned perkily on stage. Her clue bundle confirmed her hammering on the roof of a literal mannequin house, whereas a crimson damaged coronary heart on a TV display screen accompanied all these nos she obtained, so may this be a actuality singing present reject?

As a lot as she retains hammering on her franchise, we’re simply increasingly satisfied that she’s referring to Zombies. The “Z” in a earlier clue ties to it, and do you know that our greatest guess, Meg Donnelly, met her longtime BFF Milo Manheim throughout auditions? Additionally, Rita famous final week that her personal Descendants and Zombies have been doing a joint tour collectively later this yr.

She was additionally born in NYC and grew up in New Jersey, whereas she’s additionally performed some DC superhero voiceover work — and she or he notably fell in love along with her main man Winchesters costar, Drake Rodger.

(“Freedom! 90,” George Michael) Boogie Woogie sounds a bit off in his mic once more this week, nearly like he is obtained a distortion on it. The songs are once more not significantly mind-blowing, as we have seen from him earlier than. This felt like a really secure alternative that type of left us feeling a bit flat and underwhelmed. He is obtained a terrific voice, so why not present us all of it tonight of all nights?

Clues & Guesses: “Daddy, it is advisable to win. You are doing such a very good job. I am gonna cheer and cheer and cheer and also you’re positively gonna win it. I like you. Come house! Bye,” his “little booger” mentioned on the telephone name, leaving everybody each touched and smiling. That smile should be hereditary!

Even earlier than he sang, his spouse got here on as his largest supporter, speaking about how his music has helped others course of grief, overcome sickness, and even saved lives — at the very least primarily based on what followers have mentioned. She mentioned he took the heartbreaking lack of his mom, which shattered him, and channeled it into his empowering music, and even impressed her personal music.

We noticed a silver (or was that platinum?) album subsequent to her, in addition to a “Tremendous Swimsuit” suitcase, whereas she talked. He informed us JVKE’s “Golden Hour” reminds him of his spouse, “particularly after we obtained to sing at sundown on the White Home.”

On this newest mini-package of clues, Boogie Woogie revealed that he has children and confirmed a Statue of Liberty with an acoustic guitar, Q&A solutions added that he is well-known for his voice, can rollerblade, has been publicly heartbroken, and his favourite sport is basketball.

Boogie Woogie paid tribute to his mom in his earlier clue bundle, referencing the actual fact he misplaced her only a few years again. Earlier than that, their home was crammed along with her lovely voice and the “completely happy songs and uplifting lyrics” she and his dad put on the market.

Boogie Woogie mentioned that after he misplaced her, he misplaced his hope for a bit. However taking part in outdated data of her music helped to revive his personal optimism. We additionally obtained visible clues together with a flag with crossbones on it, an “English 101” e-book, and a rose he positioned in mother’s reminiscence.

His boot-scootin’ clue was MLB. “Folks say I hit an actual house run on the World Collection,” Boogie Woogie defined.

Seems Boogie Woogie is a ray of positivity and sunshine on a regular basis, one thing he obtained from his dad and mom, who made child reveals. He mentioned that he is been referred to as all the pieces from naive to sheltered to faux by the haters, however although it hurts, he will not let it get him down, or change who he’s.

He even shared that he principally will get informed his positivity is inspiring, and has even saved lives. Visually within the bundle we noticed a telescope with a star on the top of it, a disco ball, and a pair of faucet sneakers.

Beforehand, Ernie Hudson introduced out his Ghostbusters clue, which was a scroll that learn “Doctorate of Medical Science.” Boogie Woogie defined, “Nothing scary about this clue. In actual fact, being hooked up to this present was a really nice shock.”

BW — can we name you BW? — got here out with a lot pump and swag in his first look, slamming into Nick and clearly having a blast trying like an outsized disco Muppet. As he owned this disco stage his clue bundle revealed that he spent his childhood desirous to be the focal point.

As he tried to shift into leisure, he discovered combined success, although. He mentioned he had goals of being a clown, educating himself to juggle, and a magician. He even entered a expertise present and gained, however when he shifted to making an attempt to make it for actual, he wound up struggling to make ends meet as a busker.

Visible 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 mentioned, “My major magic trick for this entire state of affairs is to make the opposite monsters and singers disappear.”

Our favourite guess stays Andy Grammer, who did, in reality, sing on the White Home for its 2022 4th of July celebration. His spouse, Aijia Grammer, can be an completed musician, and even appeared  on The Voice in 2016.

Andy, who grew up in New York, and his spouse have two organic children, and adopted 4 extra. His father was youngsters’s singer Robert “Purple” Grammar and made music together with his spouse, Kathy Willoughby Grammer. She additionally misplaced her battle with breast most cancers in 2009, which Andy has admitted formed him. Oh, and he introduced the home down twice with the nationwide anthem on the World Collection: Sport 1 in 2015 and Sport 6 in 2022.

Andy additionally admitted to Parade again in 2015 that he thought he wished to be a clown earlier than he discovered music. However maybe most tellingly, his music “Do not Give Up on Me” went viral in 2019 after it appeared in a poignant scene from Gray’s Anatomy about Meredith’s (Ellen Pompeo) frustrations with the medical system failing sufferers. It was his second observe on the present, after “All the time,” however positively the extra impactful one.

(“Keep,” Sugarland) Mad Scientist Monster pulled the heartstrings with this one, although he did not have us fairly as a lot as we thought he would possibly. However, this was a fantastically emotional efficiency with loads of depth and authenticity. He is obtained a flawless twang when he caresses these nation syllables, creating lovely spherical sounds. This was a masterclass in nation vocals.

Clues & Guesses: In his remaining clue bundle, Mad Scientist Monster — or MSM as we’re calling him — reminded us that he was imagined to be a star athlete, however when that ended, it was his father who gave him the energy and motivation to maintain going. When his group broke up extra not too long ago, it was once more his dad who stepped up and inspired him to hold on.

His telephone name got here from each of his dad and mom, expressing how proud they’re of him “doing one thing completely totally different” and that they wished him to “knock this one out of the park and win it.”

MSM sang Coldplay’s “The Scientist” a pair weeks again because it’s his spouse’s favourite music, and she or he was available to gush about her monster husband and the way she recollects being his “viewers of 1” whereas he labored on what would change into his first monster hit.

“I wished to do ‘The Scientist’ as a result of it is a fairly emotional and heartfelt music, let’s be sincere,” he mentioned, “which is absolutely totally different than what most individuals know me for; get together anthem type of man.”

As we noticed “Summer time Break” written on a calendar and a chessboard with solely the knights on it within the clue bundle, his spouse revealed that she grew up on orphan and did not actually know how one can love till he got here into her life. She mentioned that she and the infants miss him, however was clearly so happy with what he is carrying out.

Earlier than that, we confirmed that he is not Keith City — however has shared a stage with him — and noticed a Tennessee flag. The panel’s Q&A revealed he drives a Ford Raptor, has gained many awards for his singing and is “approach youthful” than Ken Jeong.

Within the earlier clue bundle, we realized how MSM has liked and misplaced in his life. He shared how he “did not do it alone,” however with totally different theories on life, they finally went their separate methods, which he finally realized was the correct determination. Is he speaking about love or knowledgeable partnership?

He additionally talked about how the 2010s have been excellent to him, as he gained each award doable (aside from a Nobel). We noticed a cowboy hat, the Solar (LeAnn Rimes) masks, a silver pickup truck, and obtained the message that not everybody will love you in stay — a lesson he realized — and that is okay, too.

His 2010s Time Machine clue was The Masked Singer Season 4, with Mad Scientist Monster sharing, “I’ve carried out with somebody from Season 4.” May it, once more, be LeAnn Rimes? How about Aloe Blacc, Nick Carter, Tori Kelly, Chloe Kim, Taylor Dayne, Paul Anka. Dr. Elvis Francois, Lonzo Ball, Clint Black, Lisa Hartman Black, Bob Saget, Wendy Williams, Mark Sanchez, Brian Austin Inexperienced, or Busta Rhymes? Man, that was a enjoyable season!

For “Boy Band Night time,” MSM opened up about falling in love together with his spouse, from the second they met passing a bowl of cranberry sauce at a friendsgiving celebration.

As he informed the story of their love and eventual marriage, we noticed a grandfather clock with seasons passing throughout its face and a thumbs up, a sand fortress, and a large cruise ship. He additionally tickled a pic of Piglet (Nick Lachey) backstage.

His Nick Cannon T-Shirt Cannon t-shirt learn each “BTS” and “BSB.” MSM defined, “It is an honor to have gained the identical award as each Backstreet Boys and BTS.”

In his first bundle, we realized MSM nearly did not wind up in no matter area he is in now, the place he says he is “modified the world.” As an alternative, he was on the best way to being one of the best in a distinct area, getting scouted and practically breaking out.

But it surely all fell aside when everybody was desirous to recruit him, leaving him sidelined and costing him his probability at glory. However he reacted to that setback with a pivot that confirmed him his objective. Alongside the best way, we noticed “Quick” on a radar gun for clocking velocity, and a fish tank, together with all his experiments within the lab.

“You recognize what?” he mentioned on stage. “That is so necessary to me as a result of it offers me a possibility to reintroduce myself to followers in a approach that they’ve by no means seen earlier than.”

Whereas the panel fumbles by means of nation music, we nonetheless like Brian Kelley, whose spouse Brittney Cole has opened up about being orphaned at 17 years outdated and her childhood struggles. He additionally definitely is aware of about an enormous breakup — although not together with his spouse — when he and Tyler Hubbard disbanded Florida Georgia Line in 2022 after a decade of dominance.

Kelley was a baseball participant in faculty and was even scouted by a number of skilled groups earlier than he shifted his focus to music. Much more particularly, with regard to his clue about how he met his spouse, Kelley and his spouse met at a Thanksgiving dinner the place they have been relationship two siblings — solely reconnecting later and forming their very own relationship. Oh, and he is 6’3″.

Do you vote primarily based on what occurred tonight or throughout the season, as a result of at one level or one other, every of those 4 has delivered a season-winning efficiency. Whereas Coral and Boogie Woogie have left us mesmerized many instances in previous weeks — like Coral’s hovering vocals final week — neither of them blew us away this week.

As an alternative, we discovered ourselves extra drawn to Mad Scientist Monster’s earnest supply, and Pearl’s uncooked vitality. Nonetheless, contemplating that is for the trophy, it feels extra sincere to vote primarily based on what’s occurred all season lengthy. With that the case, we might in all probability be able to say goodbye to Mad Scientist Monster first, regardless of him having one in every of his greatest performances tonight.

It appears just like the viewers agreed, leaving Mad Scientist Monster in fourth place, which remains to be an enormous accomplishment and testomony to his talents as a possible solo artist. His Crack the Case Clue Case held a gold chain with a tarpon fish on it, with MSM saying that it means quite a bit to him, as a connection to fishing and his dad.

• Robin Thicke: Hint Adkins
• Jenny McCarthy: Brian Kelley
• Ken Jeong: Kane Brown
• Rita Ora: Sam Hunt

This was a giant one for Jenny, who slid into the guess lead along with her fifth right guess of the season. Florida Georgia Line was one of many largest acts in nation music for such a very long time, it is stunning that Brian would have had any hassle discovering an viewers as a solo artist.

But when this second helps him persuade others — and himself — he is worthy of that probability, it’s going to all be value it. He is obtained a fantastically genuine sound.

When requested why he’d do TMS, Brian mentioned, “I simply thought it was a distinct alternative to type of get on the market, get my voice on the market to the world, problem myself, do some songs that I may not usually do.”

Even more durable with simply three singers left, however we have felt extra linked and persistently blown away by each Coral and Boogie Woogie this season, so for us, third place would go to Pearl — and with no knock to her unbelievable expertise. In a present of hyperbole and exaggeration, they don’t seem to be once they say this finale is stacked with a number of the most interesting expertise they’ve ever had.

This one went a distinct approach with the viewers, although. We will not fully disagree, both, as Coral actually did herself a disservice with such a sleepy and aged music alternative for such a youthful and passionate singer. We actually thought she would at the very least rise to second place.

Her Crack the Case Clue Case clue was a cheerleader outfit which she mentioned “modified my life and gave me the power to chase my goals.”

• Robin Thicke: Brittany Snow
• Jenny McCarthy: Hailee Steinfeld
• Ken Jeong: Peyton Listing
• Rita Ora: Meg Donnelly

We have been glad to see Rita lastly land on the correct franchise star with Meg, who completely has the chops to step past Zombies and launch a pop profession. And contemplating the blockbuster success of

Disney stars like Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande, how can individuals nonetheless be typecasting and stereotyping like this? Expertise is expertise, and Meg has obtained loads of it!

“I did this present to type of get extra comfy on stage and singing,” Meg shared. “It is one thing I am all the time nervous about and insecure about and it is simply helped me immensely.”

(“Love the Hell Out of You,” Lewis Capaldi) Boogie Woogie learn the singing competitors playbook for this music alternative after which he sang the hell out of it. This gave us all the pieces and the disco balls, displaying off layers and textures and intonations of his voice we’ve not even seen but. This was simply his strongest efficiency of the season and one that won’t be simple to beat.

(“I am going to Stand by You,” The Pretenders) Pearl got here out able to battle and selected the proper music to make a press release of her personal. This was so strongly in her wheelhouse and she or he simply belted the hell out of it. We felt the conviction in her voice, that passionate grit and willpower. This can be a girl who does not take “N-O” for a solution, and she or he wasn’t keen to take any defeat mendacity down. However which may have been sufficient for a win!

After a less-than-mindblowing first spherical, Boogie Woogie got here again stronger than ever for this second spherical, whereas Pearl continues to faucet into one thing so uncooked and nearly mystical. She sings not simply to our ears however straight into our souls at instances, and it is actually laborious to not be drawn to that.

Boogie Woogie was our early favourite to perhaps stand up and win the entire thing, so for his season journey and (principally) constant observe file of excellence, we gave the sting to him. However did the viewers agree after these back-to-back showstopping performances?

In the long run, the Golden Masks Trophy was awarded to a really surprised — however equally deserving — Pearl, leaving Boogie Woogie to face in second place. He graciously even went to her earlier than the outcomes, placing his arm round and pointing to her, as if figuring out she had earned it.

Boogie Woogie’s Crack the Case Clue Case contained a pink ribbon, who revealed that he misplaced his mother to breast most cancers, so he does quite a bit to boost cash and consciousness for breast most cancers.

• Robin Thicke: Daniel Powter
• Jenny McCarthy: Ryan Tedder
• Ken Jeong: Ed Sheeran
• Rita Ora: Darren Criss

In the long run, the panel was considerably assured of their guesses, however not strongly so. They usually have been proper to not be, because it was certainly Andy Grammer, who tragically misplaced his mom to breast most cancers when he was 25 years outdated because of a late analysis. He has since change into a staunch advocate for elevating consciousness and funds to fight the lethal illness.

Andy mentioned that the expertise would possibly really affect the sorts of music he writes after he found “larger belty ballads” like he nailed on this stage.

After a stealth run rising to the highest of the present along with her real coronary heart on show, Pearl emerges triumphant because the Season 13 champion. The panel has been all over all season lengthy. Would they fail to get one proper guess for this season’s winner, like they did its runner-up?

The ultimate Crack the Case Clue Case clue of the season was a pair of pants labeled, “To Pearl from Dolly.” Pearl defined that Dolly really gave them to her and so they then carried out collectively whereas she was sporting them.

• Robin Thicke: Gretchen Wilson
• Jenny McCarthy: Trisha Yearwood
• Ken Jeong: Ann Wilson
• Rita Ora: Natalie Maines

Within the clutch, Robin lastly used that musical ear to search out that gritty, soulful nation sound and have become the primary panelist to land on our favourite guess. However have been we proper? In fact we have been, there’s no person who seems like Gretchen Wilson.

As a trailblazing feminine nation artist who did not trouble with being delicate, Gretchen solid her personal identification and path, after which appeared to get type of pigeonholed in that “Redneck Lady” lane. And but, there may be a lot extra to her expertise and identification than that moniker, as she’s deftly confirmed all through this season.

Gretchen shared that she’s had a tough couple of years earlier than agreeing to leap into this masked madhouse with an damage leaving her wheelchair-bound.

“There was a second the place I did not assume I might ever get again up to now,” she shared. “However i labored actually laborious and I prayed actually laborious and I obtained up to now. However this chance has actually confirmed to me that there is nothing I can not do.”

You may try TooFab’s unique interview with the Season 13 winner the place she opens up about how she was really considering her profession was “in all probability over” earlier than this present — and rather more — proper right here:

It was additionally a victory lap for each Robin and Jenny, who took house matching Golden Ear Trophies for every having guessed 5 contestants proper all through the season. Ken must accept successful probably the most ridiculous guesses of the season (and his one right one).

The Masked Singer introduced it is taking the upcoming fall season off, returning for Season 14 in January 2026 on Fox.
