And no show this week because of football. I scanned the countdown show for new clues, but I was done w/ the whole thing in about 5 minutes.

It all blurs together. It was some sports shit.

Masked singer always has one throw away episode. They did those Christmas sing along episodes. They also had that episode which brought Nick Cannon back. This countdown episode is their throw away episode of the season

Beach ball is 2 singers in 1? Can't wait to see group C already

Impressions before unmasking.

Mallard: I'm still going with Willie Robertson from Duck Dynasty; especially when he talked about being from a famous family.

Caterpiller: Well hell, I don't know. They talked about him being distant from his family. At first, they pushed the adoption thing, but the clue package never said that. I'm more aligning with Nicole and the singer could be LGBTQ. By the voice, I thought maybe it was Lance Bass (singing his own song!), but Lance isn't adopted. But he is gay! I thought it'd be funny if it was his husband.

Queen of Hearts: I still wanna go with Kelly Pickler, but the Jewel thing sorta rings true, too. The accent though - that's more Pickler. She was also called dumb, simple, or whatever. I don't think she was ever called chubby, as noted in the clue package. Was Jewel at some point? Maybe?

Banana Split: I'm kinda leaning away from McPhee/Foster. The clue package had the banana being a bit more physically agile than most 72-year-old men. And her voice was really different tonight. So if it's not McPhee/Foster, I have no freakin' idea. Someone mentioned Jeff Goldblum and his wife. That's not a horrible guess. The Kevin Bacon guess isn't horrible, but likely wrong. I've no idea about Zooey's voice.

Beach Ball: I do think it's possibly a Black woman/women, possibly from Georgia. But she/they ain't no singer. She's way off key. If it's two friends, I've no idea.

OH MY LORD! THE BEACH BALL! (Spoiler below)

I was thinking the same thing. My guess was Venus & Serena Williams, yeah they can play tennis but who knows if they can sing or not. Hey let's have the Williams sisters on the Mask Singer, heck Venus is sure making a lot of commercials lately. Why does everybody act so surprised when beach ball was voted off??? They were fun and it was a cute costume. Though Snookie & J Wow was a good guess too, plus Robin mentioned they brought the shore with them.

I pretty much like all your picks on Mallard and Banana Split. Queen of Hearts, she has a great voice but Kelly Pickler??? She can sing but she never wowed me when I saw her on American Idol. I really don't know her career at all after the show. I know she hosted a lot of TV shows. Caterpiller, not sure if it's being adopted/being gay or not. I know that Daryl from Run DMC was adopted. Not saying that's Caterpiller or not. Would also be fun to have Daryl on the show too, plus he's a Steelers fan.

My cousin noticed Robin Thicke's jacket kept changing back and forth, and his was clean shaven in some of the shots. Weird editing there.

I think the adoption thing is off the table. The judges assumed that, the clue package never stated it. Just that he was estranged. And Lance was raised in a really religious house, more than the others, so him being gay could've driven that wedge for a while. OR he felt a separation from the other Nsync guys because he was gay and felt like he had to hide it. That feels more of a stretch.

Also, the bean bag clue: Some thought Bean Bag, Boy Band, Backstreetk Boys (B.B). But I think it's more than that. If memory serves, I remember on an Nsync video where all the guys would kick a hackey sack around before the show, and it couldn't hit the floor or they'd have to start over. Everyone, plus their manager I think, had to keep it off the floor before it was good luck to go on stage. That could be the bean bag reference. But, BB for Boy Band is just as viable. "Pop" being the one-word clue - well, "Pop" was a huge hit for them off their final album, Celebrity.

Pickler's thing about being called dummy, simple, stupid, etc., was spot on for the way the media has portrayed her. She has a great voice, she just never got to use it as much as someone like Carrie Underwood.

It is an interesting clue package though. Caterpiller mentioned being a telemarketer. Was any boy band a telemarketer??? Seems like most boy band members are like late teens when they join so doesn't seem like they would be a telemarketer prior.

Okay well the telemarketer thing has changed my opinion about Lance Bass.

Some folks were tweeting it could be Bobby Berk, one of the new guys on the reboot of Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. He grew up in hte middle of an Amish community and had very religious parents. He left home early, slept in his car, and worked and lived elsewhere. One of this jobs during that time was - wait for it - telemarketer. Read the Early Life part of his wiki page (linked above).

The Bean Bag clue is his initials: B.B. Bobby Berk.

So I'm going w/ Bobby Berk on this one.

Have no idea who that is but it's a good guess as any
