'The Masked Singer': Double elimination sends Anteater, Candelabra home
During Wednesday's double elimination episode, Anteater and Candelabra had to say goodbye to "The Masked Singer" stage.
The finale of "The Masked Singer" is almost here, but this week, fans had to say goodbye to two more contestants during another double elimination.
During Wednesday night’s new episode, Anteater and Candelabra said farewell to performing on "The Masked Singer" stage.
Anteater, who was the first contestant forced to "take it off" and be revealed, turned out to be legendary musician John Oates.
"We’ve got a legend in the building," host Nick Cannon said immediately following the reveal.

"I’ll tell you what, I’ve done a lot of crazy stuff in my career," Oates, 75, told the audience. "This is one of the best things I’ve ever done."
Oates was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004 and in 2014 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Hall & Oates.
"You are the soundtrack of my life," panelist Ken Jeong told Oates. "I grew up on you man, and I’m literally starstruck right now."
Oates added, "It’s so great to be in this costume and just sing whatever you want. No one knows who you are."
