The Masked Singer: Season 11, Episode 5 Highlights
SPOILER ALERT: “Group C Finals: Shower Anthems Night”
After yet another captivating episode of “The Masked Singer,” Season 11, fans bid farewell to one of the show’s most iconic celebrities. Sisqó, the celebrated artist behind the hit “Thong Song,” was revealed as the Lizard during the Group C Finals. Sisqó’s elimination was a shock to some, while others, including panelists Robin Thicke and Rita Ora, correctly guessed his identity. Lizard’s departure was no coincidence, as he had been one of the lowest vote-getters in the previous two episodes.
Battle Royale and an Unexpected Save
In a thrilling face-off between Poodle Moth and Clock, the two remaining contestants in the Group C Finals, the audience witnessed a “battle royale” unlike any other. The duo captivated viewers with a stunning rendition of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Ultimately, Clock emerged as the victor, securing a spot in the Season 11 finale as the Group C champion. However, there was a surprise turn of events as the panelists used the “Ding Dong Keep Them On” bell to save Poodle Moth, preventing her elimination. As a result of this twist, Poodle Moth also advanced to the finals.
Intense Panel and Captivating Performances
The judges were divided in their guesses for Poodle Moth’s true identity. While Robin Thicke thought it might be Shania Twain, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg picked Mandy Moore, and Ken Jeong believed it was Brooke Shields. Rita Ora, on the other hand, thought it might be Sharon Stone. The true identity of Poodle Moth remains unknown, and the panelists’ speculations keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Clock’s performance of “Respect” by Aretha Franklin left the judges even more puzzled. Tina Knowles, Debbie Allen, Denice Williams, and Diana Ross were among the panel’s guesses for the masked celebrity. The clue of a rubber duck with the name “Nick” left the panel and viewers alike pondering over Clock’s identity.
A Journey of Resilience and Emotion
The journey of the Lizard, as revealed by the contestant himself, was marked by emotional struggles and personal growth. The Lizard conveyed powerful emotions through a moving rendition of “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence. The panelists made notable guesses, ranging from Sisqó to D’Angelo and Michael Bivins.
