It was another weird night on "The Masked Singer" when a woman dressed like a giant flower competed against a guy with a huge eagle head. At the end of the night, another celebrity was revealed!

Flower vs. Eagle

The Flower came out of the gate with a soulful and very familiar voice. She sang "9 to 5" and easily wowed the judges. I think she's Tina Turner. The Eagle sang Meatloaf's "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I won't do that)." It was quite obvious he wasn't a professional. His clues indicated that he is likely a radio or talk show host who interviews celebrities for a living. The Flower won easily, sending Eagle to the smackdown round.

Penguin vs. Fox

Penguin walked onto the stage like it was a runway! She sang Maren Morris and Zedd's "The Middle" and, despite not being a trained singer, she did alright. Her clues package mentioned being told she wasn't pretty enough. The judges had a lot of guesses, but Sherri Shepherd kept coming up.

The Fox was a stronger singer for sure. He performed Maroon 5's "This Love." He is a natural performer and dancer. The judges had a few guesses but no one really had a concrete idea of who it could be under the mask. It is definitely someone with a superhero connection. They will get more clues in the future, as Fox won the round and sent the Penguin to the elimination round.

Smackdown: Eagle vs. Penguin

Eagle started things off with "These Boots are Made for Walking." The Penguin answered with Fifth Harmony's "Worth It" and did some karate kicks that won over the judges. The Eagle lost the smackdown and had to take off his mask.

And the Eagle was revealed to be...Dr. Drew Pinsky! No one guessed him and I don't blame them. I used to watch him on "Celebrity Rehab," but hadn't thought about him in years!

What we know about the remaining contestants:

The Fox

Clues: He said he did his best work at night and dabbled in a some different genres. The entire preview package was all about superheroes. In the preview show, he was seen in front of signs pointing to Studio 46. The pre-season preview said the Fox will "eat almost anything." Also the package mentioned him being a "superhero ready to devour the competition."
Our guesses: Anthony Mackie from Avengers

Flower

Clues: In this show, she mentioned dipping her petals into cooking and clothing. We also saw an honorary degree from Temple University on her wall. She said she wants to be a "vision of love" on the stage and then said "what's love got to do with it." The number 314 written in flowers behind her in the pre-season trailer. Plus she mentioned blossoming in "every field I plant myself in."
Our guesses: Tina Turner. She has ties to St. Louis, which is the 314 area code. Or Patti LaBelle, who has an honorary degree from Temple.

The Penguin

Clues: She said she was told she wasn't always pretty enough. Then we saw a hit list of people that included a Hollywood casting director, a comedy club owner, her exes, a classroom bully, herself and the press. She mentioned her career being over at one point. She also held up protest signs with one saying, "I'm not your secretary." She plans to sing for those who dare to be different.
Our guesses: Sherri Shepherd - her dance moves reminded me of her.
