It was time for the return of Group B in Fox’s latest installment of The Masked Singer‘s fourth season as Serpent, Crocodile, Baby Alien, Whatchamacallit and Seahorse hit the stage once again.
In a night filled with music and fun, these five disguised celebrities performed for panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke. But it wasn’t just the singers who nearly stole the show as host Nick Cannon welcomed serial guest panelist Joel McHale back for more shenanigans between the musical performances.
While Baby Alien continued to win over viewers with his clever costume, there was no denying Crocodile’s innate talent when it came to his showstopping falsetto. Below, we’re breaking down the clues, identity guesses and more from Group B’s Play Offs, but beware of spoilers as we reveal which celebrity was unmasked at the end of this week’s episode.
