Warning: This article contains spoilers about Wednesday’s episode ofThe Masked Singer.
After two excruciating weeks withoutThe Masked Singer(boo sports!), America’s favorite secret singing competition has returned with a 2 -hour special – meaning two cloaked contenders will be eliminated and unmasked tonight.
In the first hour, the Penguin came up cold in their bid to become the show’s emperor. And in the second hour, Black Widow got trapped in their own web.
Penguin performed alongside Rottweiler, Ladybug, Tree, Flower, and Fox on Wednesday. As always, judgesRobin Thicke,Jenny McCarthy,Nicole Scherzinger, andKen Jeongpresided over the competition, with hostNick Cannonas the night’s emcee. There was even a special appearance by former NSYNC memberJoey Fatone, who competed as Rabbiton the show last season.
First on stage was Rottweiler (“Love Runs Out” by OneRepublic), followed by Ladybug (“Juice” by Lizzo), Tree (“Think” by Aretha Franklin), Penguin (“All About That Bass” by Meghan Trainor), Flower (“Cheap Thrills” by Sia), and Fox (“Hey Look Ma, I Made It” by Panic at the Disco).
As they did on thelast episode, the performers all got to shine on stage before the judges and audience members voted for their favorite. And even though Penguin showed off her happy feet and fabulous voice, it wasn’t enough to top the other challengers.
Thus,Penguin was sent back to Antarctica. She was revealed to beSherri Shepherd, actress, comedian, and former co -host ofThe View.She is currently stars on the sitcomsMan With a PlanandMr. Iglesias. *******
In the second hour,black-ishstarAnthony Andersonjoined the judges’ panel.

Black Widow’s rendition of the classic Cher tune was excellent, but it wasn’t enough to stand out in a night that had some of the judges ’favorite performances of the entire series.
The voterssent Black Widow home, but not before unmasking her true identity as actressRaven-Symoné.
