Masked Singer Shocker: [Spoiler] Withdraws From Season 14 — Plus, Who's Under The Other Masks?

Cowabunga! January 28 was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Night on "The Masked Singer," with all four reptilian heroes joining the contestants on stage for some truly what-is-happening-right-now performances.

The episode welcomed back four familiar faces: Cat Witch (aka Kylie Cantrall), who remained unclocked by TV mom Rita Ora after her performance of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream"; Galaxy Girl, whose voice fit perfectly on No Doubt's "Just a Girl"; Stingray, who dedicated Benson Boone's "Momma Song" to his own famous mother; and Queen Corgi, who set out to inspire viewers with Sia's "Unstoppable."

"The Masked Singer" also introduced us to another wild card in the form of 24 Karat Carrot, whose identity we've already figured out (see below). The fly vegetable made an appropriately flashy entrance, crushing Sam & Dave's Motown classic "Hold On, I'm Comin'."

There wasn't a bad performance in the bunch, but "Masked Singer" rules call for at least one head by the end of each hour, so Galaxy Girl and Queen Corgi found themselves up for elimination. But before the results could be revealed, Corgi announced that she was withdrawing from the competition! "I just feel my time has come," she said. "And there are so many amazing contestants, so I am bowing out." Queen Corgi then revealed herself to be social media star Claudia Oshry.

Now that Queen Corgi has been unmasked, which celebrities do you suspect to be lurking inside all of the other Season 14 costumes? See our predictions below, along with every clue we've gotten so far, then drop a comment with your own thoughts on the top-secret cast.

"Ninja Turtle Night" clues: This New York City vegetable now plays by the rules, but he used to be big-time trouble. He was even locked up at one point, with no hope for a bright future. So he decided to clean up his act, and it's been blue skies ever since. "I made a few bad judgment calls when I was younger, but now I'm living the golden life," he told the judges during their first meeting.

Visual clues: A truck with "Motown Landscaping" on the side, "longest running" spray-painted on a rock, a police officer in a white bathrobe with a baseball bat, and a tribute to "Mom Karat." His bonus visual clue was five carrots, making the judges wonder if he was part of a five-member group.

TVLine's guess: This one came to us easier than we expected. Could 24 Karat Carrot be... Bobby Brown? Not only has he been to prison multiple times, but he also rose to fame in the five-member boy band New Edition. Plus, Brown famously (or infamously) rocked a white bathrobe for this 1989 performance of "My Prerogative."

"Fear Night" clues: Lilies are representations of nature's beauty, "the happy and the sad," and Calla Lily was recently reminded how precious it all is. When she received a difficult diagnosis from her doctors, Calla Lily's world stopped. But then she thought about her children, at which point she says, "I chose to face my fears and fight." She also acknowledges having "good days and bad ones" amid her health journey. Her participation also makes sense because "The Masked Singer" is apparently her kids' favorite show. One final clue came via a clapboard with the word "director" on it. "This is the most important role of my life," she told the curious judges.

Visual clues: An engagement ring in a box, a photograph with three children, a dove, and an anchor on a watering can.

TVLine's guess: Honestly, we're a little disappointed in ourselves for not immediately clocking Calla Lily as former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Teddi Mellencamp. Not only has the mother-of-three been battling melanoma since 2022, but she also separated from husband Edwin Arroyave in 2024, hence the sad-looking engagement ring in her clue package.

"The Masked Singer" didn't even give us a chance to guess this one. In the Season 14 premiere, Disney Channel darling Kylie Cantrall revealed herself to be Cat Witch. The catch? Only the audience knows who she is, with the host and judges — including Rita Ora, who plays Cantrall's mother in the "Descendants" franchise — still being left in the dark. Frankly, we were a little disappointed that Ora didn't immediately recognize her on-screen daughter's voice in the premiere. (And if we're being real, she's probably the only member of the judges' panel who actually knows her.) 

With her identity known to the viewers at home, Cantrall will be providing behind-the-scenes intel in a way no other contestant has been able to do before. Given that she's a professional singer, and a gosh darn good one at that, there's a decent chance Cantrall will make it pretty far in the competition. As for whether any of the judges (*cough* Ora *cough*) will correctly identify her, that's another matter entirely.

"Clueless Night" clues: The '90s represent everything that Crane does, and she does it all — primetime TV, movies, and billions of streams. The feathered female has "crossed wings" with big names like Janet Jackson, Michelle Obama, and Angelina Jolie. She feels unseen at time, which shatters her confidence. 

Visual clues: Crane's first clue package included a jar of sugar, a diamond, a nutcracker, little paper cranes, and ballet slippers. "I'm not one to shy away from center stage," she said about the slippers.

TVLine's guess: Until the internet tells us otherwise — and we have no doubt it will — we're going with Solange Knowles. Not only Beyoncé's talented sister have a song called "Cranes in the Sky," but she has been to the White House many times, even performing at President Obama's 2017 send-off. As for the ballet slippers, Solange composed an original score for the New York City Ballet in 2022.

Jenny McCarthy called it right away in the season premiere, and her suspicions were confirmed on "Fear Night": the Croissants are none other than "Chrisley Knows Best" stars Todd and Julie Chrisley.

TVLine spoke with the Croissants about their early elimination, and Todd didn't waste a second throwing his wife under the bus: "There were two Croissants," he reminded us. "I was pulled down. ... I was always laughing at Julie over sh*t that she was doing or tripping or bumping into things or whatever. I'm like, 'Julie, why are you making this like it's the Croissant's fault that you're doing this? You trip and fall into stuff all the time anyway!'"

Our full chat with the Croissants includes the thought process behind their decision to perform "Jailhouse Rock," as well as how they feel they're "misunderstood" by the general public.

"Fear Night" clues: In his political-themed package, Eggplant convinced viewers why we should vote for him, including his "five decades worth of experience playing in many fields." He also says he stands up for the people. ("I represent the doctors, ship captains, and a whole lot of lovers.") He also promises endorsements from several of the famous people with whom he has schmoozed, including Jason Bateman, Jack Nicholson, and Clint Eastwood. One last clue? Just one word: "Broadway."

Visual clues: A coin with the Eggplant on it, a red swimsuit, and a red police siren.

TVLine's guess: Hear us out, could Eggplant be... Sting? Not only did he write the music for the 2014 Broadway musical "The Last Ship" (hence the "Broadway" and "ship captains" clue), but the police siren could be a nod to his band The Police. Plus, he sang the heck out of "Rocketman."

Premiere clues: From a young age, Galaxy Girl was "on top of the world," accepted to the best schools on scholarship, and the youngest on stage — all before she could drive. Perfection was never her thing, however, so she walked away from all of that. Despite being "lost in the background" for years, she always believed she was meant for something more, so she worked her butt off — and her eventual rise was nothing short of "meteoric."

"Ninja Turtle Night" clues: People have always tried to control Galaxy Girl's every move, but she has always resisted — especially when she dramatically changed her look the night before one of her biggest shoots without telling anyone. She got the last laugh, though, because she shoot went "global" and became iconic.

Visual clues: A shiny gold heart stone, a "Welcome 2 LA" sign, and a calendar with "Friday the 13th" circled. Visual clues from her second episode included a New York Times best-selling book, a golden surfboard, a bowl of oranges, and a set of jingle bells because "holidays are definitely an important time" in Galaxy Girl's career.

TVLine's guess: We recognized Ashlee Simpson's voice the moment she sang in the premiere, but her first round of clues didn't really add up. Then came week two, during which she recalled secretly switching up her look before a big shoot — and who could forget Simpson's dramatic transformation from blonde to black? Just thinking about it makes us want to revisit "Autobiography."

No mystery here! Googly Eyes was the first "Masked Singer" contestant to be eliminated in Season 14, following his performance of DJ Snake and Lil Jon's "Turn Down For What" in the two-hour premiere. Towards the end of the broadcast, this five-eyed creature was unmasked, revealing himself to be former professional baseball player David Ortiz (aka "Big Papi"), who famously played for the Minnesota Twins (1997–2002) before being traded to the Boston Red Sox (2003–2016) for the remainder of his career.

"Clueless Night" marked the end of this raspy rapper's run on "The Masked Singer." And what a run it was: Not only did Handyman keep us fully entertained with his performances of Peaches & Herb's "Shake Your Groove Thing" and A Tribe Called Quest's "Can I Kick It," but he also had us fooled! Based on some of the clues in his first package, we were dead set on him being "Law & Order: SVU" star Ice-TV, but further sleuthing proved otherwise.

As confirmed after his elimination on January 21, Handyman is Tone Loc. Besides his signature voice, some of the more overt clues included the Ace of Spades card, referring to his 1989 song "Ace Is In the House, and a teddy bear, since he voiced one on the Fox Kids animated series "C Bear and Jamal." As for the names he dropped, he acted alongside Robert De Niro in the 1995 movie "Heat," as well as Courteney Cox in 1994's "Ace Venture: Pet Detective."

"Fear Night" clues: When High Voltage began his career, his biggest fear was the idea of having to "blend in," as he feels you have to get "a little crazy" to draw a lot of attention. He was always more interested in being a leader in his field, so he listened to his gut, and "billions" took notice. ("Suddenly, everyone was plugged in!") According to the contestant, he's been called "a patriot" and "a revolutionary," as he's "changing the fabric of American culture." One final clue? "The Rose Bowl."

Visual clues: Two big batteries with "Grease" on them, a lit-up map of the United States, and an American Eagle on a rock. (The "ZZ" and/or "V" on his costume could also be a potential clue.)

TVLine's guess: The verdict is definitely still out on this one, and if it turns out to be a professional athlete, we're going to need even more help. At this point, the fans are guessing everyone from John Travolta to Jimmy Fallon to Tom Brady.

This cuddly collectible knock-off was the third contestant to be eliminated in Season 14, revealing herself to be Tiffany Haddish.

"You've been guessing me for long enough, so here I am!" Haddish announced in her clue package, in which she referred to herself as a "late-night legend" and "one of the most influential people on the planet." And with her total box-office earnings at over $1 billion, who are we to argue?

Haddish's package also included a suitcase with a crown it, referring to Haddish's movie "Girls Trip," as well as a cell phone that said "ghosted," referring to her role in the Disney movie "The Haunted Mansion."

And for those of you doubting that Haddish is halfway to EGOT-ing, just know that she won an Emmy for her 2018 hosting turn on "Saturday Night Live" and a Grammy for her 2021 comedy album "Black Mitzvah," making her just an Oscar and a Tony away from having all four.

Premiere clues: According to Pugcasso, he was originally supposed to take over his family's business, "but sometimes you have to color outside of the lines." Emboldened to forge his own path in life, Pugcasso threw his hat into the ring in a major competition... and won! He considers himself to be a very private person — er, dog — and has never worn anything close to the costume he's currently rocking on "The Masked Singer."

"Clueless Night" clues: Pugcasso comes from a small town, where he met the love of his life. Their courtship was like a rom-com until a tour forced him to leave her behind... except it didn't! His other half surprised him at the airport and joined him on tour so they wouldn't be separated. As he says, she keeps him grounded.

Visual clues: A live TV studio, a baseball home plate, Big Ben, and an "All Star" sign. His second package included a "Bye Bye Bye" sign, a box of matches, 

TVLine's guess: OK, hear us out — could Pugcasso be "American Idol" Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips? Not only did he work at his family's pawn shop before auditioning for "Idol," but his biggest song is "Home," hence the home base. And Pugcasso can sing! As for his relationship, Phillips met his now-wife when they were just 18 years old, and Pugcasso's romance is definitely giving that.

"Ninja Turtle Night" turned out to be a total wipeout (albeit a self-imposed one) for Queen Corgi, who eliminated herself on January 28 and revealed to be Claudia Oshry, better known as Girl With No Job from Instagram. 

Her majesty performed twice during her run on "The Masked Singer," beginning with a theatrical rendition of Barbra Streisand's "Don't Rain on My Parade" in the season premiere. When she returned for "Ninja Turtle Night," she switched things up a bit, delivering a powerful take on Sia's "Unstoppable."

Oshry wasn't exactly on our radar at the top of the season, leading us to wonder if Queen Corgi might have been "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" star Rachel Bloom. Our commenters quickly let us know how wrong we were.

"Fear Night" clues: When the Owl first took flight, he says you couldn't go anywhere without hearing his name. People even started copying his iconic look, "imagine that!" His biggest fear was people starting to laugh at him, instead of with him, so he chose to focus on his family. Then, life gave him "the chance to do something big," which led his haters "eating their words." In his clear Southern twang, he advised viewers that if haters are talking behind their backs, "just give them the bird and do your thing."

Visual clues: A kite with a spyglass on it, movie popcorn, and a reindeer. Speaking of animals, his bonus was clue was simply... a goat (or possibly the GOAT).

TVLine's guess: Honestly, Billy Bob Thornton wouldn't have been our first guess, but Ken Jeong made a compelling argument. Plus, we're struggling to come up with anyone better at the moment. (We're also seeing Billy Ray Cyrus as a popular guess.)

OK, "Masked Singer" studio audience, we have a bone to pick with you about this one: Specifically, what were you smoking when you voted to eliminated Scarab after just two (incredible) performances? She came out swinging in the season premiere with a strong cover of Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain," then followed that up on "Clueless Night" with a heartbreaking rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Her star was only rising, and she deserved to last much longer in the competition. 

That said, we clocked Scarab as Taraji P. Henson from her very first clue package. The lion referencing the Lyon family from "Empire," the picture of Brad Pitt (her co-star in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"), the Golden Globe Award — come on! Besides, few other actresses would be bold enough to deliver a spot-on impression of Viola Davis' iconic walk when the judges guessed her name. The clues only became more obvious from there, including two mentions of cookies, obvious nods to her "Empire" character Cookie Lyon.

Premiere clues: Snow Cone has always believed she was destined for stardom, and woefully misunderstood. She started out modeling boots as a child, then got her big break when she landed a role on "one of TV's hottest shows." However, one moment "spoiled everything," and Snow Cone suddenly found herself "kicked to the curb." She still can't believe what the headlines said about her at the time, which she claims were "all lies." She's been trying to shake that public image ever since.

"Clueless Night" clues: Snow Cone poured her heart and soul into her debut album, and she allegedly turned down a record deal with David Foster. Unfortunately, no one bought it. One last clue was "rebooting," because no matter how much life has taken from Snow Cone, she always keeps going for the sake of her husband and kids.

Visual clues: Her first clue package featured an "America's Sweetheart" sash, and her first performance included a male snow cone salesman. Her second package included a year book and a CD costing $19.84.

TVLine's guess: As unabashed fans of her 2010 debut album "Superficial," we knew this was "The Hills" star Heidi Montag from her first note. Jenny McCarthy thought she was clever, guessing that the "CO" boots were actually hinting at "The OC," but no — it stands for Colorado, aka Montag's home state. The male snow cone salesman in the first performance was clearly a nod to Montag's husband Spencer Pratt.

Premiere clues: According to Stingray, he's everywhere, "from Michelin to the Met Gala." He's also a self-proclaimed party boy, specifically asking, "Who else parties on the roof of the Chateau Marmont?" (Um, Robin Thicke would like a word, sir!) Stingray also confirmed that he's a nepo baby, looking back fondly on the "amazing" parties his mom used to host, with guests including Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross, and Stevie Wonder. After his performance, Nick Cannon immediately knew who he was, saying that it's definitely a friend of his.

"Ninja Turtle" nights: Hollywood is full of sharks, but Stingray kept his head on straight because he had an oracle at home — his mother. She's someone who "changed the world," and he feels comfortable going to her about everything from family to his career.

Visual clues: In the first episode, we saw a five-star "Kelp" review, a picture of Paris Hilton, and an ant. In the second episode, we saw a crying angel statue, "fam" on a tree of coral, South by Southwest, a wedding band, and sushi (because Stingray is also a restaurateur).

TVLine's guess: This feels like another easy one — Stingray is none other than Evan Ross, son of legendary disco diva Diana Ross. He's close friends with Paris Hilton, which explains her photo; he even has a song called "Paris," which he released with wife Ashlee Simpson, who we think is this season's Galaxy Girl! Ross also dated Aubrey O'Day, who was the Ant in Season 13 of "The Masked Singer," hence the ant in his clue package.
