'Masked Singer' recap: A sweet reveal

Ken Jeong's former "Community" co-star Joel McHale joined the panel Wednesday night, and he was a welcome addition!

Can McHale just join the judges panel? I always seem to like the guest judges better than the actual judges. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Anthony Anderson were both fun too. Maybe they need to be the new judges?

This week was all about pitting these weird costumed singers against one another. Our first matchup was:

Flamingo leaned into her Hispanic roots in her clue video, which seemed to tip Jenny McCarthy off to it being former "Cheetah Girl" Adrienne Bailon, whose mom was born in Puerto Rico and her dad in Ecuador. The Flamingo wowed the judges with "Lady Marmalade" and had Robin calling it the best performance of the night. Umm, Robin, it was the ONLY performance so far. Calm down!

The Leopard revealed he likes to treat the world as a catwalk. He sang Earth, Wind and Fire's "September." Once again, there is always a judge who thinks it is Jamie Foxx. Every character can't be Jamie Foxx! Robin and Nicole finally guessed Seal, which it definitely is! Shout out to Ken who guessed former co-star Donald Glover, but I think he's too cool to wear a costume and sing on this show.

Leopard's vocals weren't as great as Flamingo (that bird can sing!) and he failed to secure enough votes to advance to the next round.

He was sent to the Smackdown round.

The Flower continued her sweet theme by mentioning perfume and even the words "rolling stone," which got some judges to think she might have been on the cover of the famous magazine. She absolutely obliterated Heart's "Alone."

The Rottweiler used his clue package to talk about how he is afraid for people to find out his identity. (Why? Because he lost "American Idol" a million years ago? Chris Daughtry, it's OK!) He took Bruno Mars' "Grenade" and wowed the judges once again. And still none of the judges think it could be Daughtry!

The dog bested the flower in the audience vote, sending the elegant lady to face off against the Leopard.

Leopard really enjoyed singing Pussycat Dolls and Flower had some fun with "Eye of the Tiger." In the end, Leopard was able to stay alive for another week.

Three of the four judges were able to figure it out.

A legend was unmasked last night, as Patti LaBelle was revealed to be The Flower. She said it was hard to hide her very distinctive voice. She also said it was hard to hide from host Nick Cannon, who was married to Mariah Carey, who calls LaBelle her "Fairy Godmother." LaBelle also revealed that she likes to wear perfume so maybe Nick could tell her by her scent.

Last week, he flashed a North Carolina flag. Last week, we saw a dog bowl with the word "Carolina" on it.

Chris Daughtry was born in North Carolina. "Roses are blue, violets are red, but do you have a clue who's behind this doggy head?" (Quote from the preview show) The first episode clue video showed him in a salon with a turntable. He mentioned touching the "pigskin under the Friday night lights." We saw some blue flowers and he flashed a Fantasy Football Champion ring on his paw.

This episode, she talked about the "real story" and made Youtube references. In her clue video this week, we learned that she was discovered by a "powerful wizard" and became a Hollywood triple threat. She said she started from humble beginnings and was shown in a gas station with an apple in her hand.

In the preview show, the Leopard mentioned that the show's security reminded them of the Secret Service, also dropping that they had been “spotted with the president.” The costume is said to have designed to specifically obscure the natural figure of this contestant. He described itself as a "heavy hitter" that no one could catch. A newspaper in its preview package had the headline "Out of hits, Out of Time." This week, we saw him being left as a baby outside of a home with the number "1963" in front of it. He mentioned trying to find his place and then "living his life in color" every since.
