The competition on The Masked Singer is narrowing down, as there are only six competitors left — Black Swan, Piglet, Robopine, Russian Dolls, Yeti, and Chameleon. Throughout Season 5, many masked singers have gone home, such as the Phoenix. Since Phoenix did leave earlier in the season, who was behind that mask?
In episode 2 of Season 5, Group B was introduced to the audience. By the end of the episode, Phoenix got the boot after singing a rendition of Kesha’s “Tik Tok.” After the judges shared their final guesses behind their identity, they revealed that they were Caitlyn Jenner. The Olympian and reality star said that she enjoyed her time on the program. Even though she noted that singing isn’t exactly in her wheelhouse, she did say that she was definitely game to take on the challenge.

Season 5, Episode 2 — “Shamrock and Roll”
The Phoenix rose from the ashes to join the Masked Singer stage. They said that they wanted to share some “tea” as they sipped on a teacup. The Phoenix was also looking through a telescope and even said that “millions saw me as a superhero.” The clue package also featured a family of phoenixes, a crown, a race car in the sky, and references to the LGBTQ community.
Phoenix shocked the audience with their performance of “Tik Tok” by Kesha. There were plenty of interesting reactions from the audience and the judges alike thanks to their unique vocals. Nicole Scherzinger picked up on one of the clues, the focus on the “ME” in the word “time,” and said that it could be Jonathan Van Ness from the Emmy-winning Queer Eye. Jenny McCarthy guessed that it could be Caitlyn Jenner while Ken Jeong surmised that it could be RuPaul.
