In this FOX network special sneak-peek to “The Masked Singer” season 4, fans learned a lot about what to expect this season. The show welcomed back host Nick Cannon along with the professional celebrity guessing panel – Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Jenny McCarthy, and Robin Thicke. Nicole said the hardest part about being on the panel of the show “is not knowing”  who the celebs are behind the masks.

During this ‘Masked Singer season 4 sneak-peek, viewers got a little bit of behind-the-scenes tidbits on the creation of the costumes, and some show firsts. Two costumes will feature “The Masked Singer” logo. Hinting that maybe one of them is not only famous in front of the camera, but also perhaps behind the camera.

Some ‘Masked Singer firsts include a singing duo “Snow Owls,” the tallest combined contestant and costume in the “Giraffe.” The most impressive firsts come in the form of the “Jellyfish” costume which is the most delicate and glowing, and the “Serpent” costume which is the first costume to use animatronics. The most interesting costume has to be “Baby Alien.” This is the first costume that will completely hide the body type of the contestant.

In past season sneak-peeks, ‘The Masked Singer” show only exposed a handful of costumes before it’s premiere. This season, viewers got ALL 16 costumes! They are listed below.

1) POPCORN – The Popcorn costume is one of the most detailed. From the speaking voice and girly costume details, this contestant is female. Extra large CLUE: Biggest miracle of all.  “Not going to know who I am until the final credits roll on the final episode.” Could be – a younger female recording artist.

2) GIRAFFE – from the African Savanna is the Giraffe.  He said, “attacking my prey to get the mask trophy.”  At 8 feet, the Giraffe is the tallest on the show. One of the fanciest costumes in Masked Singer history.   A lot of bling was added on the costume to make Giraffe look like royalty.  Giraffe said, “sometimes when I’m performing I feel like I’m going to throw-up.  But, it would take too long.” CLUE: “I share something in common with a powerful giant.”  And, “to figure out my identity will be a real pain in the neck.”

3) BROCCOLI  – “I keep your blood pumping and chalk full of vitamins.”  It’s the first costume to feature the Masked Singer logo.  The costume also has furry feet.  Broccoli stated, “I’m moving from a side dish to a main course meal.”   Broccoli stated that he’s a “lean mean pumping machine. After all its’ how I got my 6-pack.  Figuring out my identity is going to be roughage for you.”   Could be – Randy Savage, a.k.a “Macho Man.”

The show revisited some past contestants and last season’s winner. They were featured in interviews from their homes. Last season’s winner Kandi Burruss from “Real Housewives of Atlanta” as “Night Angel” costume, said it gets “super hot” in the costume.   The advice she gave to new contestants was to “remember you have to be able to get your character involved without having to move your face.” She said things like dancing help.  

4) JELLYFISH – The competition is going to be so “jelly” when they hear me sing.  The costume has three inch platform heels.  It’s also one of the most delicate costumes in ‘Masked Singer history. CLUE:  “Even though I may be cold blooded, you can search the entire ocean motion of the ocean, but “I’ll go from Invertebrate to Inverte-great!”

8) SQUIGGLY MONSTER – This costume is 10 lbs.  Because of all the fur and no mesh where the costume mouth is, this costume has its own microphone inside. Squiggly Monster stated, “I get to be lovable while also being a wild child.” CLUE:  It’s fitting that I have so many appendages. I’m known for having a lot of hands to latch onto.

There’s only Mush-room for one at the top and that’s me.” One of the most detailed costumes in ‘Masked Singer history.   CLUE:  If you want to figure out what’s behind my mask, you’ll need to figure out who’s under my hat.  Figuring out who I am will be nothing by truffle.
