The Masked Singer S06 Preview: Joel McHale & Group B; Clues Updated

After a look back at the previous five seasons last week (due to FOX's MLB coverage), this week brings FOX's The Masked Singer back with the holiday-themed "Giving Thanks."  Joel McHale (DC's Stargirl) joins host Nick Cannon and fellow panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke as they welcome Group B (Banana Split, Mallard, Queen of Hearts, Caterpillar & Beach Ball) back to the stage. So who will be joining Octopus aka NBA star Dwight Howard, Mother Nature aka Actor Vivica A. Fox, Pufferfish aka Singer Toni Braxton, Dalmatian aka Rapper Tyga, Baby aka Comedian Larry the Cable Guy, Cupcake aka Singer/Songwriter Ruth Pointer, and Hamster aka Actor/Comedian Rob Schneider on that one-way walk back to Season 6 green room? We'll find out this week! Now here's a look at the performance preview images from this week's episode, followed by two new previews and an updated rundown of this season's remaining masks/clues:

In the following two previews, viewers are clued to what's being billed as an oversized Thanksgiving-themed round, followed by a look at the newest addition to The Masked Singer Season 6 family, Soft Serve (though we could swear it's Leslie Jordan):

The Masked Singer Season 6 Masks & Clues

Here's a look at our updated roster of masks & clues so far: Queen of Hearts, Banana Split, Mallard, Bull, Beach Ball, Jester, Caterpillar, Skunk, and Pepper – with tons more over at Miss Masky's Twitter account: But first, "Clue Review" clips of Episodes 1-6 courtesy of TMS:

And here's a look back at the first official visual clues for the first 11 announced masks:

As we mentioned previously, with a new season come changes, with the two-part kick-off seeing a double unmasking and two new Wildcards joining the competition on the second night. As for the season overall, there will be two groups (Group A & Group B), with the winner of each group competing against each other in the season finale in the ultimate "Mask-Off Face-Off". And then there's the game-changing "Take It Off Buzzer". Here's how it works: let's say a panelist is 103% certain of who is behind a mask, they hit the buzzer at any point to offer the name. If they're right? The contestant heads home immediately and the panelist gets two points towards the Golden Ear Trophy. But if the panelist is wrong, there's a price to pay. While the contestant stays in the competition, the panelist who missed the mark loses two points towards the big prize. And not everyone gets a shot at it because there's only one in play in Group A and one in play for Group B.
