The Masked Singer: What Viewers Can Expect; Season 5 Masks Updated

With only three days to go until the wildcard round-infused fifth season on FOX's The Masked Singer kicks off (with Claws star Niecy Nash stepping in briefly for host Nick Cannon), Nash and panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke are taking viewers behind the scenes on what they can expect (as well as tease some of the unexpected) this go-around. In addition, we've updated our rundown of the season's masks so far with images and videos for Chameleon, Grandpa Monster, Phoenix, Russian Dolls (duet), Black Swan, Raccoon, Porcupine, Seashell, and Snail (as well as the Cluedle-Doo mask)- which you can find just after the first-look at Season 5.
