The masked singer the judges are not known for their eagle ear riddles. Of course, Ken Jeong intentionally guesses (?) Celebrities who would never compete in this Fox reality singing competition, even if they were allowed to keep the mask on after being eliminated, but Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke aren’t much better … yet somehow they’re asked to come back season after season. It’s almost as if the producers wanted to guess that Obama and Cher would make the show.
But this week, the second episode of season five—Not just one, but two judges named the singer successfully under the guise of the eliminated contestant …
[Spoiler ahead.]
During the first round of riddles after Phoenix’s horrific rendition of Kesha’s “TiK ToK,” the entire panel picked up clues indicating that the singer was a member of the LGBTQ + community. Judges then secretly wrote down their “first impressions” before publicly discussing other options. Among the conjectures discussed were RuPaul, Jane Lynch and Caitlyn Jenner.
Later in the episode, when viewers left Phoenix and kept Black Swan (maybe Demi Lovato or JoJ with the pop feel)o), Piglet (definitely Nick Lachey), Grandpa Monster (poooosibly John Travolta but probably someone younger) and Chameleon (I honestly have no idea). Just before the Phoenix unmasked, guest host Niecy Nash—intervening by Nick Cannon positive at COVIDHe revealed the judges’ written conjectures:
Jenny McCarthy: Caitlyn Jenner
Nicole Scherzinger: Perez Hilton
Robin Thicke: Laverne Cox
Ken Jeong: Caitlyn Jenner

Ultimately, Jeong changed his assumption for RuPaul and Scherzinger decided it was actually Jonathan Van Ness. Well, Jeong should have stuck to his weapons. “You know, I like challenges,” Caitlyn Jenner told Nash after pulling out the giant Pheonix. “I ran cars. I fly with planes … You can only work on the game of golf for so long. “
Encouraging Jenner, McCarthy wanted to know what the Olympians thought their many children would say when they found out he was on the show. “They’ve always known Dad is a little crazy, they’ll try anything,” Jenner said. “Life is short. You have to enjoy it ”. As for anyone who complained, Jenner was sent home first: “Tomorrow I will be at the golf course. I’m not sorry. “
After watching this performance of “Tik ToK,” the only ones who feel sorry for themselves are the viewers.
