We met Black Swan, Grandpa Monster (who had a walker!
), Chameleon, Phoenix, and the Piglet.
She’s up there with Group A’s Seashell as one of the best so far.
Using hints from Black Swan’s clue package, the panelists threw out a bunch of possible celebrity names.
Then, Grandpa Monster surprised us with a youthful performance of Lou Bega’s “Mambo No.
His tall stature and tech creds had the panelists suggesting everyone from Dwight Howard toDiplotoMasked Singer’sownNick Cannon.
Next, rising from the ashes (a.k.a.
backstage) was Phoenix, who performed Kesha’s “Tik Tok.”
They were certainly … spirited!
Last up was the Piglet, who sang Dan + Shay’s “Speechless.”
And finally, guest hostNiecy Nashrevealed that Phoenix received the fewest votes from the panelists and at-home fans.
Phoenix was revealed to be … athlete, TV personality, and trans rights advocateCaitlyn Jenner!
After her unmasking, Jenner even poked fun at Jeong for getting it wrong at the last moment.
“Ken, you’ve always been an idiot.
What are we gonna do with you?”
she quipped on stage.
Next week, Group A is slated to return.
And as Cluedle-Doo referenced this episode (did you clock the extra clues he gave out?
