The Masked Singer is back for the fourth week of season 5 — and it’s bringing fans even more fun musical performances, wild costumes and frustratingly enticing clues! ET is following along throughout the entire hour-long episode on Wednesday to break down all the biggest moments.
Group B is returning to the stage tonight, meaning fans are getting the chance to see performances, and clue packages, from Grandpa Monster, The Black Swan, The Piglet and The Chameleon — as well as another mysterious new wildcard character who is yet to be revealed!
Meanwhile, America’s favorite panel of celebrity “detectives” — Robin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy — will try their best to guess the singers’ secret identities, as viewers at home keep their eyes peeled for all the smallest and most revealing clues.
The fun kicks off at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox, and you can watch and follow along as we delve into the glorious madness and bizarre, captivating chaos that is The Masked Singer season 5!
And the Star Is…
6:01 PM: … Logan Paul! Nicole was so close!
“Oh my god!” Nicole yells. “I cannot believe that!”
“You were so fun to watch, you were so talented,” Jenny says. “We’re so sad to see you go home!”
“I’m sad too,” Logan says. “Singing is so scary for me, and being in this costume, ironically, you feel so free in here. It was a lot of fun.”
“But I’m gonna be honest guys, I never stood a chance,” Logan adds with a laugh, before throwing his support behind The Black Swan, adding, “I want her to win! She’s very good.”
This means The Crab, The Black Swan, The Piglet and The Chameleon will be going on to the next round — where they will be facing yet ANOTHER wildcard! (Presumably! Because there are four wildcard characters, apparently.)

And the Contestant Going Home Is…
5:57 PM:
…Grandpa Monster!
I’m actually pretty surprised. I thought his Joan Jett performance was a bit more fun than The Chameleon’s number.
Grandpa Monster seems pretty upset by it as well, as he drops to his knees in dismayed shock.
Get Out The Vote
5:53 PM: Now it’s time for the audience and panel to vote, and this is the first time this season where I think the vote could be close. The Crab, The Black Swan and The Piglet are almost for sure staying. I think the elimination comes down to The Chameleon or Grandpa Monster.
Although we won’t know until after the commercial break, of course. Like always!
The Crab Croons a Classic
5:53 PM: While The Crab says he’s letting the light back in, his soulful song choice is an emotional powerhouse of gritty vocals and pained longing — and it’s absolutely stunning.
With some haunting gravitas, The Crab delivers a stunning performance of Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” that brings chills and tears.
“That was a beautiful performance,” Niecy shares.
“I don’t know who you are, but I just felt like I knew you from you singing your heart out in that song,” Nicole says.
“This is the wildcard we needed,” Jenny adds. “Someone to pull the heartstrings… we’re blessed to have you.”
Bonus Clue:
The Crab also reveals his childhood crush and it turns out to be Janet Jackson.
The Crab says, “We grew up together on good times.”
Panelists’ Guesses:
Ken thinks it could be Bobby Brown.
Robin says it might be a different member of New Edition — Johnny Gill.
