The Masked Singer Season 5: Cluedle-Doo Deals Out Exclusive Clue
Heading into this week, viewers of FOX's fifth season of The Masked Singer have host Nick Cannon and panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke to either thank or blame for the half-dozen masks remaining left to fight it out for the crown. But this week's a bit of a break for our " Spicy 6" of Black Swan, Chameleon, Piglet, Robopine, Russian Dolls, and Yeti, as "The Sing-A-Long: The Maskie Awards" is set for this Wednesday night- with "The Spicy 6 – The Competition Heats Up!" on tap for next week. But just because our final six might be getting a chance to take a breather, that doesn't mean Cluedle-Doo is taking a break.
