The Masked Singer reveals season 11 finalists after 'monstrous' 3-way Battle Royale
Published on April 20, 2026 EDT And then there were two.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Masked Singer season 11, episode 12, "Semi-Finals: Then There Were Three."

From super clues to a "monstrous" Battle Royale to another Prime Delivery, it was a jam-packed week on The Masked Singer in the lead-up to next week's season finale.

Wednesday's episode was a two-hour affair, with the first half being a "Road to the Semi-Finals" special. Similar to how the show has done these types of things in the past, the episode featured the season 11 semifinalists recapping their groups and the season so far, with highlights woven in and one new clue and bonus performance each from competitors Goldfish, Gumball, and Clock.

As for the semifinals themselves, the competition began with an epic group performance of "Higher Love," by Kygo and Whitney Houston, which set the stage for the truly great vocals to come.

Gumball kicked things off with "I Lived," by OneRepublic, which was followed by Clock singing "Dancing in the Street," by Martha and the Vandellas. Goldfish capped off individual performances with a rousing rendition of Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know."

After each performance, panelists Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Rita Ora, Ken Jeong, and Robin Thicke were treated to new "super clues," which were so on the nose that a better a name for them might have been "super obvious clues." To further help the panel, the Prime Delivery clue button from last week returned, and this time McCarthy-Wahlberg opted to push it for Clock.

This prompted a delivery of roller skates, which McCarthy-Wahlberg naturally put on and promptly fell on her butt, much to the amusement of herself and Thicke.

After those shenanigans, it was time for the Battle Royale to officially determine who would go to next week's season 11 finale. As host Nick Cannon teased earlier in the episode, it was a "monstrous" battle, with each contestant singing "A Moment Like This," by Kelly Clarkson, with their own unique spin on it. Clock performed it ballad-style, Gumball's was more rock & roll, and Goldfish opted for a pop styling of the arrangement.

Jeong remarked that it was "the best Battle Royale in the history of the show," and for once he might've been right. However, as always, someone still had to be unmasked, and Clock was ultimately sent home.

When it came to guessing, Thicke stuck with his seasonlong guess of Stephanie Mills, McCarthy-Wahlberg kept her pick of Roberta Flack, and Jeong brought the scoffs with Janet Jackson. But it was Ora who finally schooled the whole panel, correctly guessing that Clock was none other than "Don't Leave Me This Way" Grammy winner Thelma Houston.
