On Wednesday night, February 26, 2025, the 13th season of Fox’s “The Masked Singer” unmasked its third celebrity in Episode 3, titled “Rat Pack Tribute Night,” airing from 8:00 to 9:02 PM Eastern Time. Aubrey O’Day, singer, former Danity Kane member, and “Celebrity Apprentice” alum, was revealed as the Ant during the nostalgic tribute episode. O’Day captivated viewers with her rendition of “Fever” by Peggy Lee but was eliminated after a “battle royale” showdown against Coral, where both performed “My Way” by Frank Sinatra. Robin Thicke nailed the guess with O’Day, while Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg picked Evan Rachel Wood, Rita Ora chose Charli XCX, and Ken Jeong opted for Spice Girls’ Mel B. The reveal, 47 minutes into the episode, capped a night honoring the Rat Pack, kicked off by Thicke’s performance of “Fly Me to the Moon” alongside Group A finalists Coral, Paparazzo, and Ant.
Season 13, which launched with themes like “Shrek” and “Ghostbusters,” features Ant among 11 masked contestants, including Honey Pot, Space Ranger, and Cherry Blossom. O’Day, once mentored by Sean “Diddy” Combs, used her time on the show to reflect on past struggles, alluding in her narration to an oppressive figure—unnamed but hinting at Combs—who shaped her early career. Her exit joins Oscar de la Hoya (Fuzzy Peas) and Cedric the Entertainer (Honey Pot) as the season’s unmasked stars, while Paparazzo became the first to advance to the “Lucky 6” finalists. Hosted by Nick Cannon, with panelists Thicke, McCarthy-Wahlberg, Jeong, and Ora, the show continues its global appeal, having unveiled over 600 celebrities since 2019.
The episode introduced “Detective Lucky Duck,” a mysterious masked clue-giver, and “Crack the Case” clue packages, like Ant’s “world record,” which O’Day playfully tied to her multifaceted career. The Rat Pack theme set the stage for a season packed with tributes, from boy bands to the Grand Ole Opry’s 100th anniversary, keeping viewers hooked for more reveals.
Ant’s Emotional Journey Ends in Elimination
Aubrey O’Day brought depth to her performance of “Fever” as Ant, but her “Masked Singer” run concluded in the “battle royale” against Coral. Both sang “My Way,” with Coral earning the panel and audience vote, sending O’Day home at 9 PM. In her voiceover, she spoke of a controlling “villain” from her past—implicitly Sean “Diddy” Combs—who isolated her, echoing her public fallout with the music mogul after Danity Kane’s peak in the 2000s.
Thicke’s spot-on guess tied O’Day’s music and reality TV background, while McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ora, and Jeong’s picks ranged from Evan Rachel Wood to Mel B. The elimination at 9 PM marked a poignant exit, spotlighting O’Day’s resilience on a night of classic tributes.
Paparazzo Secures Spot in “Lucky 6”
Paparazzo clinched a place in the “Lucky 6” with a vibrant “That’s Amore” by Dean Martin, captivating the judges. Guesses spanned Cole Sprouse, Michael Cera, and Henry Thomas, reflecting the contestant’s knack for stumping the panel. His voiceover revealed Italian heritage and a name change to break into entertainment, hinting at a cultural journey.
The slot machine clue, “Frankenstein,” suggested on-screen monster roles, but Paparazzo remains masked, advancing as Group A’s first finalist into the next rounds of the competition.
Rat Pack Night Shines with Nostalgia
Kicking off with Robin Thicke’s “Fly Me to the Moon,” the episode paid homage to the Rat Pack’s golden era. Coral delivered “Luck Be a Lady” by Sinatra, sharing a voiceover about East Coast childhood memories with her dad, while Ant and Paparazzo rounded out Group A’s performances. The theme revived 1950s and ‘60s classics, resonating with viewers.
Season 13, led by Nick Cannon and featuring Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora, debuted “Detective Lucky Duck” and “Crack the Case” clues, adding intrigue. O’Day’s exit as Ant at 9 PM paved the way for Coral and Paparazzo to steal the spotlight.
Clues and Guesses Drive the Mystery
Ant’s “Crack the Case” clue, a “world record,” puzzled the panel, with O’Day quipping it could be one of many. Coral’s slot machine offered “Apples,” hinting at a New York tie, while Paparazzo’s “Frankenstein” suggested film roles. Panel guesses for Coral included Victoria Justice and Dove Cameron, and for Paparazzo, Taron Egerton to Elijah Wood, showcasing the range of speculation.
O’Day’s narration as Ant recalled her Danity Kane days, likening it to a “rat pack” of sisters who faced fame and hardship together. Her unmasking at 9 PM shifted focus to Coral and Paparazzo’s ongoing journey in the competition.
