After Rabbit’s latest performance on Episode 5 of “The Masked Singer,” judge Nicole Scherzinger raved, “You were bustin’ out all the old moves. It was so fly. You’re probably my favorite performer out of everyone on the entire show.” Rabbit decided to throw in some R&B in Wednesday’s episode to mess with the judges, choosing Bell Biv DeVoe‘s “Poison.” His plan apparently worked, as Nicole, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke had trouble guessing who was behind the Rabbit mask. Watch “The Masked Singer” performance video above. Ken admitted that he was “a little bit irritated” with Rabbit the last time he performed because of the way he kept doing his “annoying method actor thing.” However, Ken conceded, “You did deliver I think the best performance so far on the series. I can’t deny, I loved you, I have to begrudgingly admit.” WEEK FIVE SPOILERS: Who are the Alien, Lion, Rabbit Jenny once again thought that Rabbit might be from a boy band, announcing, “I noticed that the mixed tape on the background and your choice in song and those dance moves? Those look very familiar, very boy band-ish, I just wanna say.” SEE ‘The Masked Singer’ episode 5 recap: It’s time for ‘Mix and Masks’ as Lion and Unicorn meet Alien and Rabbit [UPDATING LIVE BLOG] Before Rabbit left the stage he revealed a physical clue for the first time: a magician kit. “It’s another way I like to impress an audience,” Rabbit teased. Nicole took that to mean that he might be “part magician,” to which Ken responded, “Nicole thinks everyone is a magician!” “Every week I think I have Rabbit figured out and then they offer some type of clue that doesn’t help at all,” lamented Robin. Some of Rabbit’s previous clues were that he “found safety in a group” and that he “was never alone” on stage. Could that mean that Rabbit is actually an NSYNC member like Joey Fatone or JC Chasez?

Fox is probably feeling on top of the world after giving its smash-hit freshman series, “The Masked Singer,” an early season two renewal today — and so are the show’s contestants. In a clip from Wednesday’s episode, titled “Mix and Masks” — which is exclusive to TheWrap — Rabbit, Alien, Lion and Unicorn return to the oddball celebrity competition series to sing their hearts out in the show’s first-ever group performance. The quartet — which is made up of two contestants from last week (Rabbit and Alien) and two from the week prior (Lion and Unicorn) — sing Imagine Dragons’ “On Top of the World” at the top of the show to cheering panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke. McCarthy is in awe, as she doesn’t even know how they manage to perform in those costumes. According to Fox, between all of the celebrity competitors on the show, they’ve amassed 65 Grammy nominations, 16 multi-platinum albums, 16 Emmy nominations, nine Broadway shows, four stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and four Super Bowl titles. With each performance, the host, panelists, audience, viewers and even the other contestants are left guessing who is singing behind the mask. Now, we still don’t know the identities of Raven, Alien, Bee, Rabbit, Lion, Peacock, Unicorn and Monster — though we have learned Margaret Cho was Poodle, Terry Bradshaw was Deer, Tommy Chong was Pineapple, and Antonio Brown was Hippo. Watch the clip above. “The Masked Singer” airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Fox.
