The Masked Singer reveal: Two more go home tonight
The Fairy and The Axolotl both ran afoul of Country Night on The Masked Singer
Another Wednesday, another installment of Fox’s The Masked Singer—and thus also another installment of that bit where the show’s audience literally bays and chants for its performers to be unmasked, which is, genuinely, never not a little unnerving to us. Specifically, tonight’s episode of the singing competition saw the unmasking of two of the show’s season 9 competitors, The Fairy and The Axolotl, which also meant their eliminations, because they don’t let you keep singing on this one unless you have a mask on your face.
Let’s start with The Axolotl, if only to ensure that our salamander-based spellcheck is still working. They were the first to fall to the power of Country Night, after all, getting eliminated off of a performance of LeAnn Rimes’ “Can’t Fight The Moonlight.” Thus the reveal that the woman inside the lizard was WWE star Alexa Bliss, who made headlines earlier today by revealing a skin cancer diagnosis she recently received. (That didn’t come up on the show; it’s just a lot of Alexa Bliss headlines for a single day.) In her exit interview, Bliss expressed her stage fright at singing, saying she cried before coming out to perform, but was happy to push herself outside her comfort zone.
