Giraffe aka Brian Austin Green can now join Dragon aka Busta Rhymes over at Gremlin aka Mickey Rourke's house now that all three are officially out of FOX's fourth season of The Masked Singer. Here's hoping they made plans and ordered some party platters in time for Wednesday night's "The Group B Play-Offs – Cloudy with a Chance of Clues." That's when host Nick Cannon and panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke reintroduce viewers to their remaining Group B singers (Crocodile, Baby Alien, Seahorse, Whatchamacallit, and Serpent), and now we have a look at what you can expect this week with a set of preview images as well as some teasers that might be worth examining:

Play alongside host Nick Cannon and panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke as this masked bunch of celebrity singers wearing all-new custom made costumes perform as America tries to guess who they are.

Here's a Look at The Masked Singer Season 4 Competitors

To make your lives a little easier and to get your Masked Singer scorecard up-to-date, here's an updated look at your Season 4 competitors along with the clues revealed during the preview special as well as what we've learned from previous episodes (followed by a few more reminders of the clues that were revealed prior to the series' start):

Popcorn: "When you watch my onscreen performance it will be in 3D: dynamic, delightful, and diva-licious. Mirror mirror on the wall, what makes me the biggest miracle of all?"

• First Clue Package: Homage to Sex and the City called "Snacks and the City"
• Possible Tiger King reference: "Hey all you cool corns and cornettes" — reference to Tiger King?
• Janet Jackson? "I'm Ms. Popcorn, if you're tasty"
• Strong New York accent, but real?
• Built a career "around love," but doesn't mean she's "soft"
• First Clue Package Images: a green snake, a partially eaten red apple, meatloaf, Vogue and Better Homes and Gardens magazines, tigers, a silver starfish, and gold hoops on a goldfish
• References "jet-setting to exotic places with royalty"
• A bus drives by with an ad for her Broadway show on it
• "You may think I'm a little cheesy, but I worked for what I got"
• Stage: "What Abous Us" by Pink
• Costume: "Well, Nick, just like popcorn I can be quite buttery at times, very salty, but also very sweet."

Broccoli: "I'm a Broco-lean, mean, heart-pumping machine. After all, it's how I got my six-pack."

Jellyfish: "I assure you that while I may be cold-blooded, I have a warm and glowing flow with H20."

Serpent: "If you want to know how I instantly appeared, here's the prescription number to my identity"

• Song: "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers
• Strength: "Flexible"
• Weakness: "High fives"
• Voice-over: "Sup, friends? It took a chain of miraculous events to get here. Starting with when I was young. Mischievous and devious, a trouble-making sneakling. I was slithering furiously toward a path of destruction. But my pops saved me by sending me a one-way ticket away from the wrong crowd and toward a path of success. 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."

Lips: "If you want a hint about me, I own who I am. I know my voice can go high, but my dishes go deep."

Squiggly Monster: "It's very fitting that I have so many appendages. After all, I'm known for having a lot of hands to latch onto."

Sun: "This sun knows how to shine like a torch even during the freezing winter."

• Items of Interest: badge with "fun director gold member" on it is shown, a chihuahua, asteroids and planets, a tennis racket, a jaguar, and a Mickey Mouse head
• TMS guards are seen poolside sporting floaties, near a pool with a "shallow" end as well as markers for "2 ft." and "7 ft."
• Having burned out and spent some time in a "deep depression," Sun had some interesting quotes: "I've had some extreme seasons in life." / "When I sprung into existence, I felt like the center of the universe… at first, stardom was great, but it was a ton of pressure." / "I was frozen, but within the darkness of a quiet place, I transformed into a ray of light."
• Stage: "Cuz I Love You" by Lizzo
• Costume: "Well, when I put this mask on I felt like it was a reflection of who I am personally, and I like it."

Whatchamacallit: "Some might say my career had a magical start."

• Song: "I Wish," by Skee-Lo
• Strength: "Eyes on the Prize"
• Weakness: "Tangles"
• Voice-over: "I'm magical, mythical, jazzy, snazzy and full of pizazzy. You see, people think I'm a shy guy. Especially because I let others absorb my spotlight. As a bright hairball, I can shine alone, as this world is wide open. I can dance with the stars, surf candy bars, buzz with the bees and swing from the keys. It's time to turn the tables on the world. Because I don't want to be hair today, gone tomorrow."

Crocodile: "A special set of keys reversed my game forever. Tic-tac-whoa."

• Song: "It's My Life," by Bon Jovi
• Strength: "Tough skin"
• Weakness: "Quick to snap"
• Voice-over: "Welcome to lover's lagoon, where soon I'll croon and make you swoon. Becoming the crocodile was a natural selection, because I'm the happiest in water. And ever since I was a kid, growing up in Hollywood surrounded by heartache and instability, I was forced to develop a thick skin. 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."

Mushroom: "If you want to know who's behind my mask, you'll need to figure out who's under my hats."

Snow Owls: "You can try and figure out who we are, but as for who is more talented, it's a tie."

• The Snow Owls story: while working in Hollywood, the male owl was driving the female owl home while singing "Let Is Snow" to "egg her on."
• Images: During their clue package "Jam-a-lot," we see a street sign at the corner of Magnolia and Quarrel Canyon (aka Laurel Canyon), a castle in a forest, a pearl in a shell, and Christmas lights on a birdhouse.
• Interesting quotes: "So you haven't seen us together in a while, but now it's time for a family reunion" / "Working with him, he's a prankster — a real wise guy": female owl / "Anything for a laugh": male owl while pulling a red rose from pocket / "I just wanted to make Christmas extra magical": male owl / "I knew it would happen for me one day because I love wings": male owl when asked about being on stage in an egg.
  Stage: "Say Something" by A Great Big World

Seahorse: "Living in the ocean can be dangerous, so it's always good to find a quiet place to hide."

• Song: "Only Girl (In the World)," by Rihanna
• Strength: "Making a splash"
• Weakness: "Dangerous undercurrents"
• Voice-over: "Howdy partners, y'all ain't from these parts, are ya. You know, all my life I felt trapped by my insecurities and shyness, too scared to release the fire burning inside. And you may call me melodramatic but at times I felt lost in this world. Like I was always swimming upstream. 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."

Baby Alien: "All you have to do is look to the stars."

• Song: "Faith," by George Michael
• Strength: "Interstellar cuteness"
• Weakness: "Cranky at nap time"
• Voice-over: "It's time for my rebirth. See, I've been stuck in second gear for a while. Back when I was the cream of the crop circle, I was in a theater every week. Even beamed to the Tony Awards stage, baby. But before long, I became a second thought, lost in space. So I've opened my baby eyes to other passions. Navigating a new route whereas the puppet master, my destiny is in my hands. And I got to get the golden mask in my crib."

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.

In July, a teaser was released 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. And keep in mind that this is a season of costume "firsts," with Snow Owls serving as the first singing duo, Serpent's costume has animatronic aspects to it, and Baby Alien is the first puppet singer.
