The Masked Singer Season 13: Shocking Reveal Sends Nessy Packing
In a dramatic turn of events on The Masked Singer season 13, the quarterfinals episode, dubbed "Soundtrack of My Life Night," saw chart-topping 90s singer Edwin McCain unmasked as Nessy. The reveal, which was reportedly the closest margin in Masked Singer history, has sent shockwaves through the competition, leaving fans reeling.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the episode featured the top five contestants singing songs with special meaning to them. The show opened with a pitch-perfect performance of "More Than a Feeling," before each masked contestant took to the stage to showcase their vocal talents. The episode’s theme, which has become a staple of the show in recent seasons, allowed the contestants to share a piece of themselves with the audience.
As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Lucky Duck made a surprise appearance on stage, inserting himself into the proceedings and sharing "explosive" insight about one of the remaining contestants. The panellists were left stunned as Lucky Duck revealed that one of the contestants had stolen something valuable from Robin Thicke. The identity of the contestant was not revealed, but it added an extra layer of intrigue to the episode.
The final five contestants then delivered outstanding performances, with Coral singing "Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne, Nessy performing "Million Reasons" by Lady Gaga, Boogie Woogie singing "Golden Hour" by JVKE, Pearl performing "Your Love" by The Outfield, and Mad Scientist Monster singing "The Scientist" by Coldplay. The panel, comprising Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Rita Ora, and Ken Jeong, were tasked with guessing the identities of the contestants.
As Entertainment Weekly notes, the Golden Ear Trophy was back in play, with the panellist with the most correct guesses at the end of the season taking home the award. The show did a pre-taped bit setting up a rivalry between Thicke and McCarthy-Wahlberg, who are neck and neck with their guesses this season. Cluedle-Doo himself, a.k.a. Donnie Wahlberg, made a surprise appearance to give his wife a pep talk, assuring her that she is "the Clue Queen" and has nothing to worry about.
The panel also discussed the soundtrack to their own lives, with McCarthy-Wahlberg name-dropping her husband, Donnie Wahlberg, who hails from iconic boy band New Kids on the Block. When asked about his soundtrack, host Nick Cannon joked that it was probably Mariah Carey’s greatest hits.
In the end, it was Nessy who was sent packing, with Thicke correctly guessing that the contestant was none other than Edwin McCain, famously known for "I’ll Be" and "I Could Not Ask for More." The reveal was met with shock and excitement from the panel and the audience, and has set the stage for a thrilling semifinal episode.
