AceShowbiz - The Group C contestants returned to the stage for "Shower Anthems Night" in the Wednesday, April 3 episode of "The Masked Singer". Clock, Lizard and Poodle Moth once again performed in front of the panelists.
After the trio kicked off the night with a group performance of "Shower" by Becky G", Clock shared in her clue package that she had such a good time on "TV Theme Night". She added, "I was nominated for one of the most prestigious awards against some legendary ladies: Queen [Aretha Franklin] and Natalie Cole. I didn't think I'd win so I stayed home and spent the evening literally scrubbing the kitchen floor. And then, I won! I actually won! And I gave my acceptance speech to the mop instead of millions."
For her visual clues, Clock included a t-shirt with a "Sweet" heart on it, an alarm clock that said "wake up," and photos of Aretha and Natalie. That night, Clock opted to sing Aretha's "Perfect" and said that it wasn't the first time for Nick Cannon to host her as an additional clue. Among the guesses were Debbie Allen, Daniece Williams and Diana Ross.
Following it up was Lizard. "I go full EMO, I'm talking the anthem of troubled teens everywhere. Before I could even drive I was living two lives. I got straight A's in school, but after school I was running the streets with the bad crowd," he said in his clue package. "I was messing up so much I saw the inside of a jail cell more than once. That last time I took a long look in the mirror and realized that thug life just wasn't for me. From that moment I stared in a different direction and cleaned up my act." For the visual clues, Lizard included "The Masked Singer" Dragon (Busta Rhymes), a thermometer and a picture of Justin Timberlake.
Lizard belted out "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence for the night and panelist Rita Ora confidently exclaimed, "I know who this is!" The men in black then showed up with an additional clue, which a loofa said "Rita." Rita guessed Sisqo, Jenny McCarthy named D'Angelo, while Ken Jeong mentioned Michael Bivins.
Rounding out the night was Poodle Moth, who said in her clue package, "Music has always been my therapy. And while some people sing pop hits in the shower for fun, I use it as a time of total emotional release and I let the tears fall while I sing. Like when my family sold our childhood home." She added, "Living there taught me resilience, and now I try to lock the doors on the negative memories and open windows to positivity." Poodle Moth had the number "3" on a for sale song in front of a home, a book called "An Extraordinary Moth" and lots of houseplants in her visual clues.
In the episode, Poodle Moth offered an emotional performance of "The House That Built Me" by Miranda Lambert. Her additional clue, meanwhile, involved Robin Thicke as she said, "Well, Robin, working with your dad is part of one of the biggest moments of my career and my life." Among the guesses were Sharon Stone, Brooke Shields and Shania Twain.
Nick then came up with the results of the studio audience vote. Unlike previous episodes, tonight featured a double elimination. The singer with the least amount of votes would be directly unmasked, and that was Lizard. Poodle Moth and Clock would go head-to-head in Battle Royale.
Before Lizard took off his mask, the panelists submitted their final guesses. Jenny thought he could be Ray J, while Ken still believed he's Michael Bivins. Rita and Robin, on the other hand, named Sisqo. Rita and Robin guessed correctly because Lizard was indeed Grammy winner Sisqo!
Later, Poodle Moth and Clock sang "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell for their battle. Following the performance, the panelists decided to keep Clock in the competition and send her to season 11's quarterfinals.
For the final guesses regarding Poodle Moth's identity, Robin mentioned Shania Twain. Jenny guessed Mandy Moore, Ken named Brooke Shields and Rita went with Sharon Stone. Poodle Moth was about to unmask herself when Rita hit the season's one and only "Ding Dong Keep It On" bell to save her.
