The Masked Singer premiere recap: Snail eliminated in unbelievable reveal

The costumed circus is back! It's quite a feat that The Masked Singer premiered in January 2019 and it's already on its fifth season. It seems producers are aware that the show has sped through so much in a short amount of time, as they've injected a bunch of changes to the latest edition.

Tonight we met the singers from Group A: Russian Doll, Snail, Seashell, Raccoon, and Porcupine. Snail, who left behind a trail of digital goo as he moved across the stage. He performed Hall & Oates' "You Make My Dreams (Come True)." The panelists had a hard time guessing exactly who Snail could be, as McCarthy said he might be changing his voice to sound like Kermit the Frog.

It came time for the viewers at home and the panelists to vote for their favorites. Nash then revealed Snail was going home.

The slimy contestant was revealed and it was a shocker — Snail was Kermit the Frog, the show's first non-human contestant!
