The Masked Singer Season 4 Offers World Series-Safe Preview & More

Sorry, Los Angeles Dodgers fans, but there might be one group that's more excited about your team winning the World Series than you are: viewers of FOX's The Masked Singer. That's because they don't have to worry about the singing competition series being delayed by extra innings or championship celebrations. That means we'll get to find out who will eventually be joining Baby Alien aka NFL veteran/analyst Mark Sanchez, Giraffe aka Brian Austin Green, Dragon aka Busta Rhymes, and Gremlin aka Mickey Rourke in the "consolation prize" category at its regular time.

This week, it's time to meet our Group C masks with "The Group C Premiere – Masked But Not Least." Nick Cannon and panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke introduce our third group (Broccoli, Whatchamacallit, Jellyfish, Lips, and Mushroom), and now we have a new preview, a look back on the past several weeks' worth of unmaskings, and a very cool DIY project that we might end up giving a try. Following that, we offer a look at the individual masks the comprise Group C as well as the updated clues packages.

First up, here's a look back at the newest, Halloween-themed preview for Wednesday night's round of masked competition followed by an overview of Group C's debut:

Lighting a fire inside me to aspire to new heights. I didn't want to cause pain but heal pain. And I hope to raise everyone's spirits tonight."

But crocodiles get a bad rap for being cold-blooded, when actually inside I'm a warm, sensitive creature who just wants to be loved back. And I can't wait to share my hidden talent as I make a wicked big splash."

But here, I get the chance to stop playing tug of war with myself and finally expose the dauntless diva from within. Underneath this camouflaged armor I'm harnessing the power of the seahorse to show shiny new sides of myself. Leaving all of my prior fears behind on this path to glory."

Here's a look back at the preview video showcasing our contestants this season, a group that has sold more than 281 million records worldwide combined, appeared in more than 5,475 episodes of television and 151 films, appeared in five NFL Super Bowls, have four stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and one made the Time 100 Most Influential list. Following that, an earlier-released teaser that contained a ton of clues to get viewers' "dumpster fires of speculation" blazing. A queen bee? Mushrooms on what looks like a salad? A UFO? A diamond in a baseball catcher's glove? Old John Lennon-like glasses? Two old hotel room keys, one with a "34" on it? A  bowtie? There are so many that we missed, but you can catch them all (non-Pokemon-style) in the teaser below.
