AceShowbiz - The new episode of "The Masked Singer" featured contestants for the first group meeting contestants from the second group. In addition to meeting the alien and the rabbit, the lion and the unicorn joined forced in a fun-filled group performance.
Titled "Mix and Masks", the episode kicked off with an epic joint performance by the four celebs. They sang "On Top of the World" by Imagine Dragons with the rabbit being the biggest showman. The most interesting part of their performance was that they didn't know each other's identity but still managed to offer a mesmerizing stage.
Next up was a solo performance from the rabbit. This week, he opted for "Poison" by Bel Biv DeVoe. The rabbit's hint was a magician's kit, though Jenny McCarthy didn't buy it. Meanwhile, Ken Jeong thinks he could be from an 80's boy band. The other panelists threw names including Jenny's husband Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McEntire and Zac Brown.
The unicorn followed it up with a rendition of "I Love It" by Icona Pop featuring Charli XCX. Her voice wasn't the best but Ken noted it was the happiest he had seen her performing so far. Jenny guessed Lauren Conrad, while Nicole Scherzinger went with Denise Richards.
As for the alien, she took the stage to sing "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. It was such a mediocre but Jenny thought she was actually a singer. Alien later showed a police bagde as her Revealing Item and that made Nicole guess Latoya Jackson.
Up next was the lion, who wowed everyone with her rendition of "California Dreamin" by Sia Furler. Robin Thicke thought that she could be Michelle Williams (II) from Destiny's Child. During the guess, the panelists also randomly threw Melanie Brown a.k.a. Mel B's name.
Now it's time to announce the results of the votes. The celeb who was going to be unmask that night was the unicorn! The panelists made their final guess with Robin thinking she could be Gabby Douglas. Jenny thought she was Lauren Conrad while Nicole went with Denise Richards. Ken, on the other hand, guessed Tori Spelling.
It appeared that Ken guessed it right as it was revealed that Tori was the one behind the costume.
In related news, it's been announced that FOX has renewed the show for a second season. "The response to 'The Masked Singer' has been fantastic and we are thrilled to bring it back for another season," said Rob Wade, Fox's president of Alternative Entertainment and Specials, in a statement.
