Five undercover celebrities wanted to score big on Wednesday’s episode ofThe Masked Singer— but one fumbled and had to exit the competition on NFL Night.
Then Cow came back to the stage.
“I don’thave many memories of watching the big game with my dad,” Cow said in their clue package. “He wasn’t really around and I didn’t have a lot of positive male role models growing up. I was raised in a house with all women, who made me the sensitive cow that I am.”

That taught Cow a lesson about parenting. “Now as a parent, I know the value of being present for my children,” Cow said, adding that “my greatest accomplishment has always been my kids.”
The clue package also featured boxing gloves with a down arrow and Momma Cow wearing a sorcerer hat.
“He made that look effortless, right?” judgeJenny McCarthysaid afterwards. “Wasn’t that unbelievable?”
Bell, 31, brought out an additional clue for Cow: tap shoes.
“Much like a Super Bowl halftime show, I am known for my killer moo-ves,” Cow said.
The panel, which also includesKen Jeong,Nicole ScherzingerandRobin Thicke, guessed that Cow could beTrey Songz,NE-YO,Mario,Jason DeruloorNelly.
Diver swam up after Cow.
“As a kid, I always wanted to be famous,” Diver said in his clue package, which showed high heels. “I modeled, I acted and, of course, sang. I was always waiting to become a household name. I just didn’t know it was everyone hating me. But I’m here to show the world that I’m more than my mistakes. Being here already feels like a healing experience.”

Diver added that “getting to share my talent instead of my drama is exactly what I needed.”
For Diver’s additional clue, a fan popped up in the audience with their chest painted with a club.
“I’m well-suited for the club,” Diver explained. “I know how to get the club going. What’s up?”
The judges tossed outPete DavidsonandPauly Das possibilities for Diver, and Jeong, 54, stuck with last week’s guess ofVanderpump RulesstarTom Sandoval.
Gazelle galloped to the stage next and talked in their clue package about facing adversity as a child.
“There were a lot of times I didn’t know if there was a place for me in the entertainment industry,” Gazelle admitted. “At just 8 years old, I was pressured to change my name to blend in more with the herd.”

The clue package featured a sign that said “Threat level: 3” and a surfboard.
“I’m proud of my heritage and proud to continue to blaze a trail for little girls who look like me,” Gazelle added.
“I feel like you should be one of the biggest singers of all time,” McCarthy, 50, told Gazelle. “You are so incredibly talented.”ActressesAuli’i Cravalho,Leighton MeesterandConstance Wuarose as possibilities for Gazelle.
S’more followed up with their tale of rising to fame.
“I was born for the fearless life in the spotlight, but my father was afraid to lose his son to the fantastical world of fame,” S’more said in their clue package.

“While I was still in high school, a huge opportunity to work with an industry legend came my way, but when my dad found out, he told me to turn down the gig,” S’more continued. “I made the hard decision to move out. Years down the road, I conquered the Broadway stage.”
Wide receiver DeSean Jackson delivered S’more’s additional clue — an orange.
“I’ve tasted victory before and it’s so sweet,” S’more said. “I hope to do so again here atThe Masked Singer.”
The panel suggested*NSYNC’sJC Chasez, actorSimu LiuandBackstreet Boys’Kevin Richardsonas options for S’more’s identity.
Then a wildcard competitor entered the game: Pickle.
“When I was younger, all my teachers thought I was nothing, said I was a hyper, disruptive kid who had no interest in anything but sports,” Pickle said in his clue package. “It was basically decided I was a bad boy with no future.”
Spray paint, a Joker card and a microphone appeared in the clue package, too, as did mentions of working withQuentin Tarantino,Martin ScorseseandMartin Short.
“My mouth still gets my into beef, but that hyper, disruptive kid became a super successful hyper, disruptive adult,” Pickle concluded.
Pickle put his spin onThe Who’s “Pinball Wizard.”
“This is my favorite costume of all time onThe Masked Singer,” McCarthy declared.
Thicke, 46, added, “He kind of looks a little like me, to be honest.”
The NFL players revealed an “ON AIR” sign for Pickle’s extra clue.
“When I speak, people listen,” Pickle said. “Are you listening, Ken? Kenny, are you listening? I get paid a lot to talk so pay attention, Kenny.”
Pickle also said that they “bring that BDE, that Big Dill Energy.”
The judges thought Pickle could be actor and host Craig Kilborn,Conan O’Brien,Dax ShepardorHoward Stern.
After all of the disguised celebrities performed, hostNick Cannoninstructed the audience to vote for their least favorite performance of the night. That ended up being Diver, and under the swimsuit appeared another one of Jeong’s guesses: Sandoval.

“Ken was right!” exclaimed Cannon, 44.
Jeong admitted, “I’m kind of starstruck right now!”
McCarthy commended the 41-year-old reality star’s bravery in coming onThe Masked Singer. She told Sandoval, “You were very vulnerable talking about, ‘You know what? A lot of people don’t like me.’”
