Even Cannon seemed shocked—his reaction was probably the best thing of the night when he screamed as Palin put on her glasses with her back turned and told his co-stars they’d never believe who it was. Because in what world does the woman who was running for vice president of America get up in a pink-and-purple bear costume and sing “Baby Got Back?” “I’ve seen it all. I’ve literally seen everything,” Thicke said as he shook his head.Figured I’d do it because, well, this is America! And don’t you have to conquer a major reality show before big-time politics?! ? - SP #TheMaskedSinger

“This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever done, that’s for sure,” Palin said. “But it’s all about fun. It’s unity. This is all good. This is something that our country needs right now too.” Well one thing is for certain, and that’s that Palin definitely did find “the courage to come out of my cave to stop hiding and face the world head on.” Like her, and her politics, or not, she put herself out there.And, maybe she’s right about leaning into the sweeter, sillier side of things. People are talking about how the world is a dumpster fire right now with coronavirus causing widespread cancellations and closures of all kinds, the recent Nashville tornadoes and the overall political tension (to name just a few things). Heck, even eternal optimists like Reese Witherspoon are feeling anxious about it all. So if Palin can spread some cheer by rapping about big butts? Well, that’s kind of a welcome distraction.Now let’s see how the remaining five celebs in Group C follow up next week, when one more celebrity is unmasked and sent home. Considering this season has brought out new sides of Tom Bergeron (Taco), Dionne Warwick (Mouse), Tony Hawk (Elephant), Chaka Khan (Miss Monster), Drew Carey (Llama) and Lil Wayne (Robot), it’s anyone’s guess who might be unveiled next.The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8 pET on CTV.[video_embed id='1919249']BEFORE YOU GO: You won't recognize your favourite celebrities after these bizarre face mashups[/video_embed]Tonight’s reveal ? #mood ? #TheMaskedSinger pic.twitter.com/zIiyhBQFtm
