Who Was Unmasked On The Masked Singer Tonight?
The only full unmasking on The Masked Singer tonight belonged to Googly Eyes, who turned out to be none other than Boston Red Sox legend David “Big Papi” Ortiz.
If you’ve ever wondered what it would look like if a Hall of Fame slugger got dropped into a rave inside a piñata, his performance of “Turn Down for What” pretty much answered that.
It wasn’t so much about technical vocals as it was about pure chaos: stomping around in the tallest costume the show has ever built, hyping up the crowd, shouting more than singing, and clearly having way more fun than someone in that much foam and fabric should be allowed to have.
Once the audience votes were tallied, Googly Eyes landed in the bottom and became the first official elimination of season 14.
The panel all locked onto the “baseball player” angle from the clue package and his accent, but only Ken Jeong stuck with Ortiz from the start, and for once, his wild guess wasn’t so wild.
When Ortiz finally peeled off the giant head, the crowd reaction felt a little like a home game at Fenway: big cheers, a lot of phones in the air, and him joking that wearing the costume was such a workout he could skip the gym for a month.
It was one of those reveals that didn’t necessarily shock hardcore clue-watchers, but still felt weirdly delightful, because honestly, who had “Big Papi in a googly-eyed monster suit” on their 2026 bingo card?
What Really Happened to The Croissants?
The Croissants technically got eliminated tonight, but their actual unmasking was held back as a cliffhanger for next week’s episode.
After losing their initial head‑to‑head matchup and then surviving long enough to hit the bottom again, they were sent to the final unmasking of the night, only for the show to cut off right before they revealed who was under all that flaky pastry.
Before that tease, the panel’s guesses were all over the map in a very Masked Singer way. Ken Jeong went big with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Robin Thicke pushed the Jersey Shore angle by guessing Snooki and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg doubled down on Todd and Julie Chrisley, and Rita Ora threw in Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag as her pick.
Fans online are leaning toward the Chrisleys too, especially after clue packages hinting at being “canceled,” time apart, and a dramatic reunion, but for now it’s all speculation, and the show is clearly milking that “you’ll have to wait” tension for all it’s worth.
Is it slightly manipulative? Sure. Will people tune in just to see if it really is the infamous reality‑TV couple under there? Also yes.
Who Will Perform on The Masked Singer Next Week?
Next week’s episode of The Masked Singer season 14 will feature five new contestants taking the stage together for the first time, without the strict one‑on‑one battle format from the premiere. Here’s who’s performing, plus a bit of flavor for each mask.
Le Who Who
- One of the five singers confirmed for week 2, introduced at the end of the premiere as part of the next batch of performers.
- The name and design lean into a whimsical, slightly European vibe, think mysterious owl energy with a “who, who?” pun that practically begs for clue packages about identity and reinvention.
High Voltage
- Also set to compete next week, teased as a high‑energy, electrically themed costume.
- The look and name hint at a performer who can bring rock, EDM, or at least serious stage presence, fans are already predicting big, shout‑along songs and lots of strobe‑friendly production.
Calla Lily
- Confirmed as part of the Fear Night episode lineup, joining the week‑2 group on stage.
- The elegant flower costume screams “ballad machine,” and early buzz has framed Calla Lily as one of the potentially stronger vocalists rather than a purely novelty act.
Owl
- Another of the five masks debuting next week, previewed in cast galleries and premiere teases.
- With big, expressive eyes and a detailed design, Owl feels built for moody lighting and maybe some slightly spooky numbers, which fits nicely with episode 2’s “Fear Night” theme.
Eggplant
- Rounding out the week‑2 lineup is Eggplant, easily one of the season’s most talked‑about costumes based on photos alone.
- The show is openly leaning into the joke, hyping Eggplant as having “big mask energy,” so expect a mix of comedy, meme‑ready reaction shots, and possibly a surprisingly solid singer inside all that purple.
Who’s Still Competing on The Masked Singer Season 14?
After Googly Eyes’ elimination and The Croissants’ delayed reveal, 17 masked contestants are still technically in the game, with most of them yet to even step into the spotlight. The remaining costumes for season 14 are:
- 14 Karat Carrot
- Calla Lily
- Cat Witch
- Crane
- The Croissants (awaiting unmasking)
- Eggplant
- Galaxy Girl
- Handyman
- High Voltage
- Le Who Who
- Owl
- Pangolin
- Pugcasso
- Queen Corgi
- Scarab
- Snow Cone
- Stingray
It’s a big, eccentric roster even by this show’s standards, and FOX is already teasing this as one of the boldest and most “blockbuster” seasons yet, with 18 brand‑new costumes and plenty of stunt casting baked in.
As always, the fun is less about perfectly guessing every celebrity and more about that weird mix of genuine emotion and total absurdity, where a baseball icon in a googly monster suit can belt out a party anthem, lose a singing competition, and still walk off looking like the happiest guy in the room.
