The Masked Singerintroduced six new costumed performers on Wednesday — and while they might be the second group to show off their vocal chops this season, they’re gunning for first place.
Last week,Kangaroo, Turtle andWhite Tigersecured their spots in the Super 9, and on Wednesday night’s episode, Banana, Elephant, Frog, Kitty, Mouse and Taco kicked off the battle to see who would be joining them. After each contestant took the stage, hostNick Cannonasked them about their experience under the mask so far. Then, panelistsJenny McCarthy,Ken Jeong,Nicole ScherzingerandRobin Thickeoffered their guesses as to which celebrity might be under the masks.

At the end of the night, the judges and studio audience voted on their favorite performance, leaving the disguised singer with the least amount of votes to head home and have their identity revealed. This week’s vote sent Elephant packing.
Cannon assisted the futuristic-looking mammal with removing their mask — and the audience and judges alike freaked out when they sawTony Hawkunderneath.

“I appreciated your support,” the skateboarder, 51, said after being eliminated. “This was a totally new experience for me. I had one more song in me, but I didn’t want to go much further, so thank you for releasing me.”
Hawk explained that he started off with a song from The Cure because he and his wife had also selected a Cure track as their wedding song. Continue on for more info about Group B’s first performances.
