SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 3, episode 5 of The Masked Singer, which aired Feb. 26 on Fox.
Time for Dionne Warwick to walk on by. The legendary singer is the latest celebrity to be revealed and sent packing in another The Masked Singer heartbreaker. Warwick, who was disguised as the Mouse, performed “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love),” by Natalie Cole — and in a first this season, the majority of the panelists figured out who was under the mask.
Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger and guest panelist Gabriel Iglesias figured out it was Warwick. Ken Jeong went with another singing icon, Tina Turner. Add Warwick to the list of Season 3 stars voted off, including Lil Wayne, Drew Carey, Chaka Khan and Tony Hawk.
The fact that Khan had already been unmasked first threw McCarthy Wahlberg for a loop. “There’s no way the producers would have Chaka Khan, a legend, and then Dionne Warwick in the same season. There’s no way,” she said during the episode. To which Jeong quipped, “We’re out of legend budget!”
The episode made a big deal out of the fact that the panelists have mostly gotten it wrong this season. “Season 3 is so much harder to figure out who’s under the mask,” McCarthy Wahlberg said. “But it also makes it more fun, because the reveals are that much more exciting.”
