That’s right, for the episode reveals, Parker, Jr. and Blair were the next stars to be unmasked.

Blair, as Scarecrow, stunned host Nick Cannon and the audience by volunteering to unmask and let the other two contestants battle it out to move on to next week. “I love this show so much,” she said. “I have come to share how much I love you and what you have all done for the world and family entertainment. But I would like to officially bow out and unmask and let these two amazing competitors continue. These two competitors are the real deal. I just came to bother Ken [Jeong]. I have a really special reason to be here. And I want them to enjoy the stage and all the accolades they so deserve. I’ve enjoyed entertaining you so much over the years.

Later, Parker, Jr. was unmasked as Sir Bugaboo after facing off against the victor Snowstorm in a battle royal (in which the two took turns singing Rockwell’s song “Somebody Watching Me”). Snowstorm advances to the semi-finals.

For Scarecrow, no one understood. Robin Thicke thought it was Susan Sarandon. Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg nominated Glenn Close. Nicole Scherzinger cast Jamie Lee Curtis. Ken Jeong guessed Parker Posey.

As for Sir Bugaboo, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg guessed Ernie Hudson. Robin Thicke chose Keenan Ivory Wayans. Nicole Scherzinger thought it was Randy Jackson. Ken Jeong said Jordan Peele.
