‘Masked Singer’ Front-Runner is Shockingly Eliminated During ‘Spicy 6’ Episode
Fox Reading Time: 6 minutes
The Masked Singer “Spicy 6” episode brought the heat. It also led to what some may consider the most shocking elimination of the season so far. The hit Fox show has proved once again that it is far from predictable.
This week, the judges got to look inside the minds of the contestants. The Masked Singer Mind Reader is a new contraption that allows the judges to see an x-ray of the contestant’s heads to learn what they are thinking about. These clues will lead them one step closer to correctly guessing the identities of the celebrities underneath the masks.
Chrissy Metz served as the guest judge for this episode joining Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger, and Jenny McCarthy to guess which celebrities are under the masks.
Who Was Revealed On ‘The Masked Singer’ Tonight?
It is absolutely insane that after the judges and the superfans voted, The Robopine was eliminated from the competition. We thought he had for sure secured a spot in the finale and was one of the best technically perfect singers in the competition.
Even Nick Cannon was shocked when it came time to reveal the results. Before The Robopine was unmasked, Cannon revealed that McCarthy, Scherzinger, and Jeong all made their first impression guesses of Jamie Foxx. This was not their finest moment. Foxx has been a guest judge on the show in the past, even making fun of the judges constantly guessing him.
While McCarthy stuck with that first impression guess, Scherzinger changed her guess to Tyrese Gibson and Metz agreed. Thicke guessed that it was Terrence Howard. Jeong thought it was Wesley Snipes.
But, it turns out that The Masked Singer Robopine is actually…Fast & Furious actor Tyrese!
Everything that Led Up to ‘The Masked Singer’ Robopine Reveal
Here are the clues and details about The Masked Singer Robopine’s performance that led up to his big reveal:
Clues: The clue package heavily focused on a roller coaster in the background. The Robopine’s family was on food stamps when he was younger. One trip to the amusement park changed his life forever. There were also balloon darts and drama masks emphasized while he spoke about losing someone very close to him.
