The Masked Singer season 11 has been one of the most spectacular yet, as 16 mystery celebrity singers compete for the Golden Mask Trophy, and there have been some incredible unmaskings. The Masked Singer season 11 welcomed back host Nick Cannon and original panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, and Ken Jeong. However, for season 11, while Nicole Scherzinger was performing in London's West End production of Sunset Boulevard, Rita Ora took her place on the panel. Rita has Masked Singer experience, as she's been a panelist on the UK version of the show.

The Masked Singer season 11 features three groups of contestants. A Wild Card contestant will be added to each group as the competition continues. The show will once again feature theme nights, including The Wizard of Oz, Billy Joel, TV Theme, Transformers, Queen, Girl Group, Soundtrack of My Life, and Shower Anthem Nights. In addition, the Ding Dong Keep It On Bell will again be used in later rounds, allowing the panelists to save contestants from elimination. Here's every celebrity who's been unmasked so far on The Masked Singer season 11.

Kevin Hart - Book

The Masked Singer season 11 contestant Book debuted on premiere night in Group A, along with Goldfish, Starfish, Ugly Sweater, and Lovebird. He sang "So Sick" by Ne-Yo, who won The Masked Singer season 10 as Cow, and was revealed to be actor and comedian Kevin Hart. Kevin unmasked himself before the judges could give their final guesses for who he was, but Robin was able to correctly guess his identity before Kevin took off his costume. In addition, there was no Smackdown in this episode, as Kevin unmasked before one could occur. All four of his fellow competitors moved on to the next round without having to compete in a Smackdown.

Kevin's reveal was called the biggest unmasking in Masked Singer history by the show. His performance and reveal had everyone laughing and in complete shock. After Kevin unmasked himself, he shared that his performance was a prank for Nick. Kevin and Nick then jokingly traded barbs. It was a hilarious and unexpected moment that was perfect for the premiere of The Masked Singer season 11. Kevin then joked that he was shocked that he had to sing again, and he sang "So Sick" unmasked.

Kevin isn't the first Masked Singer to self-eliminate. Mickey Rourke unmasked himself in The Masked Season season 4 when he was Gremlin because he said that he was too hot in his costume. In addition, Linda Blair self-eliminated during The Masked Singer season 8, after performing as Scarecrow. She said that she only joined the show to raise awareness for her animal rescue foundation, Linda Blair Worldheart Foundation, and thought that it would be unfair of her to take a spot in the semi-finals from one of her fellow competitors.

Savannah Chrisley - Afghan Hound

Afghan Hound made her Masked Singer debut on The Wizard of Oz Night as part of Group B, along with Gumball, Miss Cleocatra, and Beets. She was revealed to be reality TV star Savannah Chrisley, who starred in Chrisley Knows Best. Although Savannah acknowledged that she didn't have the best voice, she had a great time with her performances. She started out singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by The Tokens, and even laughed during the performance.

Savannah later competed in the Smackdown with Gumball, during which they sang "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead" from The Wizard of Oz. She received the lesser amount of votes and was eliminated from the competition, while Gumball moved on to the next round. Before Savannah was unmasked, the panelists gave their final guesses for her identity, but no one guessed her correctly. Robin thought that she was Bethenny Frankel, while Jenny guessed that she was Brooke Hogan. Ken theorized that she was Olivia Jade, while Rita predicted that she was Sistine Stallone.

After Savannah's unmasking, she said that she lost both of her parents to the federal system (they're serving time in prison for tax evasion and defrauding community banks). The 26-year-old currently has custody of her 15-year-old brother and 10-year-old sister. She shared that she knew that singing was not for her, but she wanted to teach them to take every opportunity that came their way and not to back down. Savannah also revealed that a big reason that she competed on the show was because she knew that her parents could watch it. She concluded her Masked Singer run by singing an unmasked reprise of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."

Joe Bastianich - Spaghetti & Meatballs

On The Masked Singer season 11 Billy Joel Night, Group C's Spaghetti & Meatballs made his first appearance, along with Poodle Moth, Clock, and Lizard. He was revealed to be MasterChef judge and restaurateur Joe Bastianich. Joe wowed the panelists with his rousing rendition of "Only the Good Die Young." Ken and Jenny even commented that he sounded like Billy Joel himself.

However, Joe found himself going head-to-head with Lizard during the Smackdown. They both sang fantastic versions of "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)," but Joe received the lesser amount of votes and was eliminated from the competition, while Lizard moved on to the next round. Before Joe was unmasked, the panelists gave their final guesses for his identity, but no one guessed him correctly. Robin thought that he might be Stanley Tucci, while Jenny believed that he was Guy Fieri. Ken theorized that he was Bobby Flay, while Rita guessed that he was Gordon Ramsay.

After Joe was unmasked, he revealed that singing has been a passion for him his whole life. He said that when he got the opportunity to do The Masked Singer and share his love of singing with everyone, he jumped on it. He thanked everyone who'd supported him in his music and thanked the show for having him as a contestant. Joe truly does have a stellar singing voice, and his Smackdown with Lizard was very entertaining to watch. He concluded his run on the show with an unmasked reprise of "Only the Good Die Young."

Billy Bush - Sir Lion

During The Masked Singer season 11 TV Theme Night, Group C Wild Card contestant Sir Lion made his debut, competing against Clock, Poodle Moth, and Lizard. He was revealed to be radio and television host Billy Bush. Billy sang "Love and Marriage," which is the theme song to Married with Children. Although his performance was superb, he ended up in the Smackdown versus Lizard. This was Lizard's second time competing in the Smackdown, after defeating Joe Bastianich as Spaghetti & Meatballs in the previous round.

Billy and Lizard both sang their own versions of "Who Are You" by The Who, which is the theme song to The Masked Singer. Although they both gave awesome performances, Billy received the least number of votes, and was eliminated. Before he was unmasked, the panelists gave their final guesses for his true identity. Robin thought that he might be Anderson Cooper, while Jenny guessed Seth Meyers. Ken mentioned Ryan Seacrest, while Rita predicted that he was Andy Cohen. None of the panelists were able to correctly guess that Sir Lion was Billy.

Jenny marveled that she had no idea that Billy could sing like that. He replied that he isn't a great singer, but he does have a great voice. He then joked, "If you can't make it with the lips, make it with the hips." Billy then encouraged everyone to say yes to doing something scary. He said that he had a ball while competing on The Masked Singer. Billy then sang an unmasked reprise of "Love and Marriage," during which his enthusiasm for appearing on the show was evident through his big smile.

Sisqó - Lizard

During The Masked Singer Group C finals on Shower Anthems Night, Group C's Lizard was unmasked and revealed to be singer Sisqó. As Lizard, Sisqó had an incredible run on the show, competing in two Smackdowns before he was ultimately eliminated. He made his debut on Billy Joel Night singing a spirited version of "Uptown Girl." He later won the Smackdown versus Spaghetti & Meatballs (Joe Bastianich), during which they both sang "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)."

During TV Theme Night, Sisqó sang a lively rendition of "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?," the theme song from the series of the same name. He then won the Smackdown against Sir Lion (Billy Bush), during which they both sang "Who Are You" by The Who, which is the theme song to The Masked Singer. On Shower Anthems Night, Sisqó sang a thrilling version of "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence. He also opened the show with Clock and Poodle Moth, with an energetic performance of "Shower" by Becky G.

Unfortunately, Sisqó received the least number of votes and was eliminated from the competition right before the semi-finals. Before he was unmasked, the Masked Singer panelists gave their final guesses for his identity. Jenny guessed D'Angelo, while Ken thought that he was Michael Bivins, a guess which he'd made since Billy Joel Night. However, Robin and Rita had known since Lizard's debut that Sisqó was under the mask. They used his voice and the clues to figure out that Lizard was Sisqó.

After he was unmasked, Sisqó revealed that he appeared on The Masked Singer because his family watches, and everybody always guesses him for other characters. He said that he seized the opportunity, and it was really fun. Sisqo then gave one last performance: his unmasked rendition of "Thong Song," during which he danced and even did a one-handed flip. He has set the standard for future Masked Singer performers.

Colton Underwood - Lovebird

During The Masked Singer Transformers Night, Group A contestant Lovebird was unmasked and revealed to be former The Bachelor star, Colton Underwood. Colton made his debut during The Masked Singer season 11 premiere night, when he sang a sweet rendition of "Home" by Phillip Phillips. He made it through to the next round, which was Transformers Night.

On Transformers Night, Colton sang "All That You Are" by the Goo Goo Dolls. However, he received the lowest number of votes, along with Wild Card contestant Koala, who was DeMarcus Ware, and he was therefore eliminated from the competition. Before he was unmasked, the panelists gave their final guesses for his identity, including Josh Duhamel (Robin), Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino (Rita), and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (Ken). Only Jenny guessed Colton correctly.

After Colton was unmasked, he explained that he participated in The Masked Singer because he worked his entire life playing football, and he never got to experience the arts, music, and theater. He thanked everyone for letting him go back in the past to explore "that creative kid." Colton added that he had so much fun on the show. It was evident through his performances that he really enjoyed being Lovebird.

DeMarcus Ware - Koala

During The Masked Singer Transformers Night, Koala made his debut as the Group A Wild Card, competing against Goldfish, Starfish, Ugly Sweater, and Lovebird. Koala was revealed to be NFL Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware. He stunned the judges with his terrific rendition of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears. However, he received the lowest number of votes, along with Lovebird, who was Colton Underwood, and he was therefore eliminated from the competition.

Before DeMarcus was unmasked, the panelists gave their final guesses for his identity. They included football players Terry Crews (Rita), Deion Sanders (Ken), Shannon Sharpe (Jenny), and Michael Irvin (Robin). DeMarcus was able to stump all of the panelists.

After DeMarcus was unmasked, he said that his Masked Singer experience was "awesome." He explained that, all of his life, he always wore a mask as a football player. However, when he put on the Koala mask and no one knew who he was, his true personality came out. DeMarcus said The Masked Singer was one of the most fun experiences that he'd ever had.

DeMarcus left everyone with an inspiring message, saying that they should be themselves because "if you can be like yourself, you'll be the most impactful person, and you will never have to be fake." He closed out the show with a reprise of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." DeMarcus made a big impact on The Masked Singer after appearing in just one episode.

Charlie Wilson - Ugly Sweater

During The Masked Singer season 11 Queen Night, Ugly Sweater was unmasked and revealed to be legendary Gap Band frontman and solo artist "Uncle" Charlie Wilson. Charlie made his debut as Ugly Sweater on premiere night when he sang "The Best" by Tina Turner. He followed that outstanding performance with an exciting version of "Brick House" by the Commodores on Transformers Night. On Queen Night, Charlie sang an inspiring rendition of "I Want to Break Free."

Throughout the competition, the Masked Singer panelists knew that Ugly Sweater was an iconic performer, but only Robin, who's collaborated with him in the past, guessed him correctly. Their final guesses included Al Green (Ken), Aaron Neville (Jenny), and Smokey Robinson (Rita), with Robin declaring that Ugly Sweater was Charlie.

When Charlie was unmasked, he first sang a bit of his song, "Charlie, Last Name Wilson," and then performed "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" by The Gap Band. Charlie then joked with Nick about the dating advice that he gave him, which was mentioned in his clue. He also gushed that he had a great time and said that the fans were great, while blowing kisses to them.

As Ugly Sweater, Charlie gave some of the most impressive performances in Masked Singer history. It was apparent throughout his time on the show that everyone was in the presence of greatness. His personality came through in every performance. It was thrilling to see him sing as himself after he was unmasked. Charlie has set a high standard for future Masked Singer competitors.

Kate Flannery - Starfish

The Masked Singer season 11 Queen Night brought the unmasking of Starfish, who was revealed to be The Office star Kate Flannery. As Starfish, Kate made her debut on premiere night, singing "Material Girl" by Madonna. She later showed her versatility as a singer and performer on Transformers Night when she sang "21 Guns" by Green Day. On Queen Night, she sang a superb version of "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie.

After Ugly Sweater was unmasked and revealed to be Charlie Wilson, Kate went head-to-head with Goldfish in the Battle Royale. They each sang awesome versions of "Another One Bites the Dust," but Goldfish emerged victorious and moved on to the quarterfinals. Because the panelists had already rung the Ding Dong Keep It On Bell to save Group C's Poodle Moth from elimination, and it can only be used once, Kate was unmasked.

Before Kate's unmasking, the Masked Singer panelists offered their final guesses for her identity. They included Kate McKinnon (Robin), Amy Schumer (Rita), and Lisa Kudrow (Jenny). Only Ken guessed Kate correctly, and he was thrilled to see that he was right with his guess. Not only was Starfish a terrific singer, but she was also one of the most adorable and beloved contestants in the history of the show with her singing, dancing, and jumping. After she was unmasked, she sang a joyous reprise of "Under Pressure." Kate brought so much fun and positive energy to the Masked Singer stage.

Jenifer Lewis - Miss Cleocatra

The Masked Singer season 11's fabulous Miss Cleocatra was unmasked on Girl Group Night and revealed to be actress Jenifer Lewis. Jenifer first appeared as Miss Cleocatra on The Wizard of Oz Night when she blew everyone away with her mystical rendition of "Stormy Weather" by Etta James. She then continued to dazzle everyone with her powerful version of "Free Your Mind" by En Vogue on Girl Group Night.

Although Jenifer gave some phenomenal performances, on Girl Group Night, she found herself in the Smackdown versus Seal. They both sang very different versions of "Waterfalls" by TLC, with Jenifer remaining seated her a throne and singing a jazz rendition of the song, while Seal rocked out to it. In the end, Seal moved on to the Group B finals, which is Soundtrack to My Life Night, while Jenifer took off Miss Cleocatra's mask and revealed her legendary self.

Before Jenifer was unmasked, the panelists gave their final guesses for her identity, including Roberta Flack (Rita) and Loretta Devine (Robin and Jenny). However, only Ken was able to guess Jenifer's identity correctly. As Miss Cleocatra, Jenifer captivated the audience with her mind-blowing vocals and incredible stage presence. It was obvious that they were in the presence of greatness.
