The judges speculated that the S’More was a boy band veteran, with guesses including Jordan Knight and Kevin Richardson. Eventually, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg correctly identified the S’More as O-Town’s Ashley Parker Angel. The S’More graciously reflected on the show as an incredible experience once he was unmasked. Additionally, Group A’s Cow and Gazelle faced off in a Battle Royale on Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” with a surprise twist from judge Ken Jeong.
In the latest episode of “The Masked Singer,” which featured a Disco Night theme, the performance opened with the Trammps lighting up the stage with their classic hit “Disco Inferno.” However, by the end of the evening’s Group A semifinals, it was the S’More character who found themselves eliminated from the competition.
Despite delivering a strong performance of KC and the Sunshine Band’s “That’s the Way (I Like It),” which garnered positive feedback from the judges, including Nicole Scherzinger praising the S’More for bringing their A-game, the marshmallow-themed contestant was eliminated from the competition. Their dreams of making it to the Season 10 finals went up in flames.
The judges had speculated throughout the season that the S’More might be a boy band veteran, with guesses including Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block and Kevin Richardson or AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys. Surprisingly, only Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, known for her connection to NKOTB through her husband Donnie Wahlberg, correctly identified the S’More as O-Town’s Ashley Parker Angel.
Following the unmasking, Ashley Parker Angel expressed his appreciation for the unique experience of performing on “The Masked Singer.”
The episode also featured a Battle Royale between Group A’s Cow and Gazelle, who faced off on Gloria Gaynor’s disco anthem “I Will Survive.” While the expectation was that only one contestant would survive, Ken Jeong decided to ring the “unanimous” Ding Dong Keep It On Bell, saving Gazelle and advancing her to the next round. This decision was met with agreement from the judges, who praised the strong vocals displayed by both contestants. However, Ken’s emotional decision may have been influenced by his belief that Gazelle is his friend Constance Wu, despite it being an incorrect assumption.
