As soon as once more, Harp was again to defend her crown. However when you thought she was going to have to hold in there all season lengthy, it seems that each three episodes, the Queen or King then “wins” this spherical and routinely advances to the semi-finals. At the very least, that’s how we expect it really works. Truthfully, it typically looks like they’re making it up as they go alongside.
This week, Harp confronted off towards two new rivals and 4 folks. That’s as a result of Mummies was a trio of performers, whereas Fortune Teller had one of the vital intricate and enjoyable costumes, as they had been like a type of fortune teller machines, full with the field.
Alongside the way in which, the present poked enjoyable at its host and panel with some chryons on the display screen that appeared to counsel their tv preferences. However when you suppose slightly tougher, you’ll see the roasts:

“(Theme From) The Monkees,” The Monkees) Mummies undoubtedly had harmonies tight sufficient to be siblings, however we weren’t as offered on them individually as singers. It gave the impression of one among them was fairly good, one other simply so-so and the third one ought to follow harmonizing. We did love their stage presence, staying in character at the same time as they carried out. It wasn’t unhealthy singing, nevertheless it wasn’t mind-blowing, both. They had been, nevertheless, very entertaining performers.
Guesses: The “Whoa!” by itself had us questioning if this trio may very well be the Lawrence brothers, who appeared to crop up in a bunch of various sitcoms through the years, and even with each other typically. Joey Lawrence, after all, discovered that monosyllabic catch-phrase on “Blossom” as Mayin Bialik’s older brother.
Different clues included the phrase “Fortunate #5,” a blueprint of a home with “ICONIC” written on it and a seashore ball flying in out of nowhere. They mentioned that America watched them develop up, and that some may even really feel just like the boys are a part of their household.
They talked about their sibling bond, studying rather a lot from each other and shared that they’d been off the grid for awhile. A picture hinting at TIger Beat journal solely had us extra satisfied that this may very well be Joey and Matthew and Andrew, oh my!
Tori Spelling (aka Unicorn) got here out as a part of the “TV Dinner” clue. Hers was Blended Berry Bros Smoothie Packets, which the blokes mentioned was “good for the soul,” “refreshing,” and “basic.”
On a present the place the whole lot may very well be a clue, Nicole questioned if Tori was possibly pointing to her “Beverly Hills, 90210” co-stars Brian Austin Inexperienced, Jason Priestley and Ian Ziering. She additionally questioned concerning the blended referencing a blended household, and the blueprint pointing to “The Brady Bunch.” May or not it’s Barry Williams, Christopher Knight and Mike Lookinland?
Ken picked up on that very same clue we did, speculating that this may very well be the Lawrence brothers. Ought to the truth that he agrees with us have us second-guessing our knee-jerk idea? He’s a health care provider — however he’s additionally a horrible guesser.
The web had some attention-grabbing theories of its personal, together with the three “Blue’s Clues” hosts, the Jonas brothers, the “Dwelling Enchancment” youngsters and a few love for our favourite guess!

(“Movin’ on Up,” Ja’internet DuBois) Fortune Teller had a a lot softer and gentler singing voice than we anticipated, and particularly on this specific robust. That is an anthem of empowerment and needs to be sung with exuberance, however this was so mellow and laid again. He has a pleasing sufficient voice, nevertheless it didn’t supply a lot vary or selection. It was somewhat sleepy, truly.
Guesses: The Kardashians tied in together with his clues, with Fortune Teller sharing that had been it not for them, he’d have missed out on an enormous alternative. He mentioned he’d grown up desirous to be a big-time music star, however he wasn’t one of the best singer. When he tried his hand at dancing, Jermaine Dupri beat him out.
Imagery included a lottery wheel, recreation present set, rack of clothes, and a suitcase with cash inside, and an angel statuette. He did say he obtained his huge break when he and his mother obtained inventive, main everybody to need “a splash” of him of their movies.
Jodie Sweetin was the superstar bringing out this “TV Dinner Clue” and it was “New York Recent Pizza Dough.” “With slightly time, you can also flip dough into your personal piece of pie,” mentioned Fortune Teller.
Jenny was in every single place along with her guesses, caught on that Kardashian connection. Jonathan Cheban may need been her greatest guess, as a result of it certain wasn’t Diddy or Steve Harvey. Ken questioned if it was billionaire Daymond John, who began a clothes line with them.
The entire panel was surprised that this was a great guess, with Nicole even lamenting his could be higher than her Ryan Seacrest guess. She tied the enterprise card, go well with line and the truth that he was a producer on “KUWTK,” which makes it not a horrible guess. Did he decide up that high quality of singing from all these years with “American Idol”? Jenny thinks not.
Twitter was speculating in every single place, although there have been some guesses with Kardashian’s Sprint connection, Damon Sprint, and even simply questioning which Kardashian ex-husband it could be — however he is approach too brief for that … except we’re speaking about Ray J. We’re not speaking about Ray J, are we?!
(“Thank You for Being a Pal,” Cynthia Price) Harp took on a track that didn’t have as a lot energy or vary, however she nonetheless discovered her moments because it went alongside. And regardless of that, the sheer high quality of her voice had no drawback shining via even the extra melodic elements of the track that stayed within the pocket. She’s simply such a pure expertise.
Guesses: We didn’t actually get any new clues about Harp, however we’re unsure we actually want them. The brand new one in her clue package deal was a Christmas cupcake with inexperienced icing and a Santa Claus on prime, along with her quipping about “getting royalties for these, proper?”
We do should marvel why “The Masked Singer” couldn’t guide a 3rd TV celeb to convey out Harp’s “TV Dinner Clue” as we needed to accept a “reboot” from Tori Spelling. The clue was “Purple Mashed Potatoes.”
Then Harp made it much more complicated by saying, “These purple mashed potatoes are nearly too lovely to mash, but– I imply, who doesn’t love a great mashed potato.” We suppose the secret’s in her saying they had been nearly too good to mash, as a result of we’re sitting her like, they’re already mashed … they’re mashed potatoes. This present has us pondering the weirdest issues.
What we’re not pondering, although, is the identification of the Harp as a result of we and the web have been feeling rock strong since nearly her first breath that that is “Glee” alum Amber Riley. However the panel continues to be making their very own horrible guesses.
Nicole tied the purple to Prince, as you do, and that took her to Jill Scott, who went on tour with the Purple One, however she additionally questioned about Fantasia, popping out quickly with “The Coloration Purple.” However this doesn’t sound like both of these singers — particularly the raspy Fantasia.
Jenny questioned if possibly it may very well be Ariana DeBose, however the viewers revolted instantly on her with this guess. The viewers was feeling what we’re feeling when Nicole tapped the wizard needed to “The Wiz” remake and guessed Amber Riley. After all that’s who she is.

An attention-grabbing selection this week. We had been nonetheless feeling fairly assured that Harp would three-peat as Queen of “The Masked Singer,” punching her ticket straight to the semi-finals, however how the opposite two acts would rank was much less clear. Technically, Fortune Teller had the extra persistently high quality vocals, however Mummies had been way more entertaining.
For total high quality of efficiency, we’d give the sting to Mummies in a contest meaning nothing, as we nonetheless predicted that each them and Fortune Teller would go dwelling tonight. However who went dwelling first? Not our decide, because it was Mummies knocked out first. That one got here as a little bit of a shock.
- Robin Thicke: “Brady Bunch” Brothers
- Jenny McCarthy: “Dwelling Enchancment” Brothers
- Ken Jeong: Lawrence Brothers
- Nicole Scherzinger: “The Brady Bunch” Brothers
We had been nonetheless feeling the Lawrence brothers total, however truthfully, the panel got here via with some strong guesses of their very own with each “Dwelling Enchancment” and “The Brady Bunch.” So who was it beneath the masks? Nicely, we discovered to by no means belief our first instincts — and particularly if Dr. Ken agrees with them.
As a substitute, it was, the truth is, “The Brady Bunch” boys, Barry Williams, Christopher Knight and Mike Lookinland. The Bradys did tour and sing and carry out collectively musically, so there’s precedent. Barry mentioned that they hadn’t truly carried out collectively since these days, calling this expertise a blast.

(“All over the place You Look,” Jesse Frederick) Fortune Teller truly talked straight, and we nonetheless weren’t certain who it was, however he had Jodie’s coronary heart within the VIP lounge by tackling the “Full Home” theme. It was all very charming, with us getting refined Alfonso Ribeiro vibes. At instances it feels like him, however most instances it’s not him in any respect. Harp then took it to church and into her soul with a fantastically impactful and emotional stripped again tackle the basic monitor. It was hauntingly excellent. For Ken, it was an emotional second, with that theme track and Jodie within the viewers, he couldn’t assist however consider his buddy and her TV dad, Bob Saget, trying down and smiling.
We knew it earlier than they began to sing, nevertheless it was much more apparent afterward. And we nonetheless stand by our assertion that Fortune Teller ought to have gotten the boot earlier than Mummies. In the long run, it doesn’t matter as each needed to go. Harp is simply on one other stage and will nicely win this complete factor. After all, Fortune Teller was subsequent to fall.
- Robin Thicke: Ray J
- Jenny McCarthy: Damon Sprint
- Ken Jeong: Daymond John
- Nicole Scherzinger: Ryan Seacrest
Robin went there, guessing that possibly this was Ray J. Everyone knows the connection he shares with the Kardashians, however he was making an attempt to tie it to the Jermaine Dupri clue. Let’s simply say, Nick didn’t see that one coming, and couldn’t cease himself from cracking up a bit, with everybody else becoming a member of in. However that wasn’t it.
All props to Ken on this one, as we had no thought. However it was certainly “Shark Tank” star and FUBU founder, Daymond John. Daymond mentioned he grew up not seeing individuals who regarded like him on TV, and being a brief man, he actually linked with George Jefferson’s story.
“The Masked Singer” continues Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
