The Masked Singer: Watch Rottweiler Make Nicole Scherzinger Cry
Nick Cannon is the biggest thing in show business since Ryan Seacrest began saying no to things, says Triumph. Lol.
FOX
Clues: Heâs had a 30 year career. Multiple Awards, and became a household name. Heâs going to prove that heâs a superhero all in his own. Heâs one in a million.
Performance: Every Little Step by Bobby Brown â Fox delivers a super smooth version of the song. He could be a boybander himself! Again, with the super cool dance moves. Heâs a real entertainer. The judges go crazy. Ken calls him the biggest star of all. OMG Triumph: âDogs and Foxes are natural enemies like Robin Thicke and any woman born before the year 2000.â Robin still thinks itâs AJ McLean. Triumph guesses Lou Dobbs. âHe was in a boyband in 1983â OMG. Nicole guesses Sterling K Brown from This is Us. Or maybe Jamie Foxx. Foxâs revealing item is a mini boom box. âThis gift from my father helped me find my voice and a few others.â Ken guesses Shawn Stockman from Boyz to Men. Nah. the Fox is probably Wayne Brady.Â

Ladybug
Clues: She can feel her confidence growing. For years she convinced herself she was not good enough. Sheâs doing makeup and the dudes are wearing rainbow headbands.Â
Performance: Youngblood by 5 seconds of Summer â Sheâs not a great singer, which means sheâs not a professional singer. Bur she knows her way around a melody. âYou so full of energy and not the manufactured kind like Dr. Ken here,â says Triumph. He thinks itâs Nicki Minaj or the Olsen Twins. âIf you gave me just one sniff in the butt Iâd know who it is.â Nicole guesses Jamie Lynn Spears because of the family issues and clothes and makeup in the clues. Ken is sticking with Lindsay Lohan. Robin agrees. Ladybug doesnât like that AT ALL. Jenny says Paris Jackson. Ladybugâs revealing item is a golf cart. âI wasnât afraid to get a little mud on my tires.â Troubled family and makeup and clothes are key clues. But itâs not Lindsay Lohan. Consensus is Kelly Osbourne. Those Osbournes are ALMOST as crazy as the Lohans. And I think the guess legit insults her!

Flower
Clues: She alludes to âDream Girlsâ She loves when itâs âOh so Quietâ She lies in âraptureâ in her own âsecret garden.â and âI Will Survive.âÂ
Performance: Amazed by Lonestar â Flower is for sure a singer, and seems mature. And why am I even beating around the bush. Flower is 100% Patti LaBelle. There is no mistaking that voice. She hits a super high note thatâs pure Patti. Itâs like Gladys Knight last season. A beloved and iconic voice canât be masked. Ken still thinks itâs Bjork. OMG. Heâs ridic. It said âOh So Quietâ in the package. Thatâs the producers funning with you, Ken. Robin is sticking with Patti Labelle. Heâs right, of course. Jenny guesses Anita Baker. Triumph makes a Hangover 3 joke. Good Times. Flowerâs revealing item is a deck of cards: âItâs not about the hand youâre dealt, itâs the way you play it honey.â Triumph guesses Jennifer Holliday. Serious for once!

Tree
Clues: I work really well with others. Beamed up into another dimension. âStrangers with Candy.â There are no more excuses. This tree can stand tall.Â
Performance: No Excuses by Meghan Trainor â Tree is actually a really strong singer and could be a professional. Triumph drops his cigar! Heh. âShe looks like the last thing Elton John sees before the Ambien kicks in,â says Triumph. Nicole still thinks itâs Amy Sedaris. Amy donât sing like that. Jenny guesses Molly Shannon or Cheri Oteri from SNL. Uh. No. Ken guesses Lauren Graham because she was in Bad Santa. These are bad guesses. Her voice is so soulful, I think she is probably black. Treeâs revealing item is a bowl of soup âIf it wasnât for soup, I wouldnât be where Iâm at today.â Robin guesses Rachael Rae.Â

RottweilerÂ
Clues: âI didnât take the conventional route to stardom.â Chris won American Idol! âAnd while there were tough times. Itâs the set of Married with Children.â We see Rottweiler in a toy strewn living room. Chrisâs family struggles are well documented. âMaybe itâs David Faustino. I wouldnât change a single moment.â He holds up a North Carolina flag. Chris is from North Carolina. We see Rottweiler approaching a crime scene. Chris had a gust spot on Criminal Minds. âIâm leaving my heart on the stage and sharing a side of myself I donât normally share because Iâm not ready to take this mask off any time soon.â.
Performance: Castle On A Hill by Ed Sheeran â We arenât even pretending anymore, right guys? This is Chris Daughtry. Letâs enjoy the incredible performance! YaY. Just like on American Idol sometimes, Chris has the pimp spot. The judges call him a favorite. They are on their feet! Jenny calls it the best performance of the season. âI never thought Iâd see you again after walking out on your mother. In my defence, you were an ugly baby,â quips Triumph. Ken guesses Gavin Degraw. CLOSE but not quite. Nicole guesses Darren Criss. LMAO. NOOOOOOOOOO. His revealing item is a painting of Triumph.  âI love you so much I drew this for you..you would sign this for a fellow pupâŠor your son.â  Jenny guesses James Franco. Thatâs a really bad guess. Chris is an artist and has drawn comic book covers on the sideâŠso.

RESULTS: The Ladybug is Eliminated I figured it would be either Ladybug or Tree. Ladybug is the weakest singer, so it makes sense. Last guesses: Jenny: Paris Jackson Ken: Lindsay Lohan Robin: Lindsay Lohan. Triumph: Lindsay Lohan. Nicole: Jamie Lynn Spears
AND THE LADYBUG IS KELLY OSBOURNE! All those clues about fashion and queens should have tipped everyone off. She faked a southern accent on purpose. Her British accent probably would have given her away! Kelly says every week she nearly sh** herself. Triumph says âThereâs no shame in that!â
Clues explained:
- The ham in Ladybugâs package is a nod to the famous ham tossing incident on The Osbournes.
- The Best Host trophy in Ladybugâs package is a nod to Kellyâs successful TV hosting career
- The baseball bat in Ladybugâs package refers to Kellyâs father, Ozzy Osbourne, famously biting the head off a live bat.
- There were also nods to fashion and makeup. She was the host of âFashion Policeâ
- She said âqueensâ taught her everything she knows, which is nod to the LGBT community.
- Additionally, there has been a ton of chaos in her family life, which was documented in her family reality show âThe Osbournesâ and elsewhere.
- And sheâs yet another Dancing with the Stars alum to appear on the show!
