The Masked Singer Season 5 Previews Its Feisty Five; S05 Clues Updated
The fifth season of FOX's The Masked Singer is now officially down to its Feisty Five (it was a good run, actor/singer Tyrese Gibson aka Robopine), which means the pressure is on our remaining masks more than ever before- with Black Swan, Chameleon, Piglet, Russian Dolls, and Yeti this close to making the semi-finals round (and one step closer to the crown). But before that happens? Someone has to go- and that's where host Nick Cannon, panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke, and guest panelist Rob Riggle (ABC's Holey Moley) come in.
Looking ahead to next week, the May 19 semi-finals round brings Hootie and the Blowfish singer Darius Rucker to the panel as Cluedle-Doo's identity is finally revealed (more on that below). And then on May 26, a winner will be crowned during the season finale- which sees Season 4 winner LeAnn Rimes aka Sun joining the panelists. Now here's the latest preview for Wednesday night's Feisty Five round:
