AceShowbiz - "The Masked Singer" celebrated Warner Bros. movies for the studio's 100th anniversary in the Wednesday, April 5 episode. The new episode of the hit FOX series featured reigning champ Doll and two new contestants Dandelion as well as Mantis hitting the stage in front of the panel, including Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke.
The first performer of the night was Doll. He sang "Jailhouse Rock" by Elvis Presley, while her visual clues included a house of animals, hairspray, a "Guys and Doll" playbill and a lollipop heart. For an additional clue, a guitar case that had "King Status" on it was brought onstage. Robin guessed Gene Simmons, Ken named Austin Butler, and Nicole thought he could be Sebastian Bach.
Dandelion followed it up. In her clue package, Dandelion revealed, "My life has always felt kind of like a movie. 'The Wizard of Oz' to be exact." She added, "I've worked with all the greats, Madonna, Flea, Sir Elton John, the living and the dead."
Visual clues, meanwhile, included a "Wanted" sign with Dandelion's picture on it, champaign, zombies, an angel playing piano, a "Welcome to Music City" sign, an axe, a trumpet and an apple. She performed "Over the Rainbow" by Judy Garland and the guesses included Zooey Deschanel (Nicole), Emmy Rossum (Jenny) and Reese Witherspoon (Ken).
Mantis served as the final performer that night. In his visual clues, there were motorcycles, Mantis scaling a skyscraper, a helicopter, Mantis reading "Lord of the Fly", a skull, a stuffed wolf, poker chips, cards, a can of gasoline, matches and an explosion. Mantis further teased, "Music has followed Mantis his whole career, from Broadway to the silver screen."
He sang "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger. Sunglasses with a tag that said, "True story," was brought as the additional clue. For the guesses, the panelists mentioned Dennis Quaid, Cole Hauser, Kevin Bacon and Bruce Springsteen.
Host Nick Cannon later revealed that Doll finished in third place, meaning that he had to be unmasked. Before that, the panelists submitted their final guesses. Nicole went with David Lee Roth, Ken guessed Austin Butler, Jenny named Iggy Pop, while Robin thought Doll was Gene Simmons. None of them guessed correctly because Doll was Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider.
It was time for Dandelion and Mantis to have a face-off in the Battle Royale. They hit the stage to perform their own spin on "(I've Got a) Golden Ticket" from "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory". Mantis surprised everyone when he changed his voice to Broadway.
The panelists eventually picked Dandelion as the winner. However, Robin apparently didn't want Mantis to leave the show early so he hit the Ding Dong Keep It On bell to make him stay in the competition.
