After Firefly won the first round of The Masked Singer, the competition continued on 30 March with a brand new batch of contestants.

The US version of the celebrity singing show – which began its seventh season on 9 March – sees a host of famous names dressing in different costumes to perform in front of a live audience. A panel of judges then attempts to decipher their true identities using a series of clues.

This season, the contestants are categorised into three teams – The Good, The Bad, and The Cuddly.

Below is everything we know, clues and all, about the remaining competitors from the second round.

Lemur was the first to be eliminated, as their identity was revealed to be veteran supermodel Christie Brinkley, 68. Followed by Hydra, who was revealed to be the magician duo Penn & Teller, during the second elimination.

Ringmaster

The judges were floored after Ringmaster delivered a show-stopping performance of “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus for Team Good.

Shown in her video of clues were a picture of Miley Cyrus, a “Sweet Southern” whiskey bottle, and a California driver’s license.

Instantly, judge Nicole Scherzinger connected the dots between the driver’s licence and Ringmaster’s choice of song to theorise Olivia Rodrigo might be behind the mask. While singers Kacey Musgraves and Kelly Clarkson were among the judge’s other guesses.

Miss Teddy

Miss Teddy then performed her version of “Tell It to My Heart” by Taylor Dayne for Team Cuddly.

In her video of clues, references were made to a gospel singer, a director’s chair stamped with a laughing emoji, and the metamorphosis of a butterfly, all leading the judges to assume she might be Jill Scott, CeCe Peniston, or Loretta Devine.

Armadillo

Also performing for Team Good was Armadillo with his version of “Secret Agent Man” by Johnny Rivers.

Included in his video of clues were references to a beefcake, sunglasses, and a pile of red rocks.

This led judges to assume he might be Chuck Norris, Erik Estrada, or Vin Diesel.

The Masked Singer continues Wednesdays at 8pm on Fox.
