Warning: This post contains spoilers from the latest episode of The Masked Singer.

Wednesday’s new Masked Singer performers wanted to prove they wouldn’t just be a one-hit wonder. 

Anteater, Candelabra, Donut and Hibiscus made their debuts on One-Hit Wonders Night after judges Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke entered to “Who Let the Dogs Out?” by Baha Men.

Donut took the stage first. 

“I’ve been really lucky in my career,” Donut said in their clue package. “I was part of a megahit that catapulted me to No. 1. But it also put me in a box and people associated me with this one rough and tough flavor.”

The package also showed a police badge, an L.A. flag, theaters on 42nd Street, cowboy boots and a bow and arrow.

Donut said they have a “more refined side that helped this country boy get out of dodge.” And now, “after the toughest year of my life, getting back to my roots is exactly what I needed right now.” 

The sweet treat performed “Hooked on a Feeling” by Blue Swede. Afterwards, for an extra clue the Men In Black played another one-hit wonder, “How Bizarre” by OMC.

“Just like Rocky, I’ve got hit after hit after hit,” Donut said.

The panel thought Donut might be Jeff Bridges, Tom Jones or Sylvester Stallone.

Hibiscus bloomed into the competition next. 

“My love of the stage comes from my childhood,” Hibiscus explained in her clue package that also showed a gingerbread house, a first aid kit, a vampire and the Statue of Liberty. “I grew up in a large family and had to compete for attention which led to my love of performing.” 

Hibiscus also said she “was a total late bloomer who, after a hospital stint, became a sexy flower in the big city” and claimed to look like Sharon Stone.  

The flower belted “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls.

“You slayed,” McCarthy, 51, told Hibiscus. 

For her extra clue, the Men in Black played Right Said Fred’s “I’m Too Sexy.” 

“I’ve been in a couple beauty pageants and I’ve also worn a tiara,” Hibiscus said.

Real Housewives Luann de Lesseps or Kim Zolciak, actress Bonnie Hunt and model Janice Dickinson arose as options for Hibiscus. 

After Hibiscus, Anteater stepped onto the Masked Singer stage for the first time.

“I've had a long career, but I’ve had to learn the hard way that fame isn't everything,” Anteater said in their clue package. “Sure, it got me the houses, the sports cars, r-o-c-k-ing on the yachts with the glitterati, but at the height of my success, fame took its toll. I fell into some bad business deals, my personal life was a mess and worst of all, I lost my sense of self.” 

The package additionally showed an angel, a windmill and an eye on a box. “I traded the fancy houses for a chicken coop,” Anteater continued, adding that they’ve since found “my true love and started a family.”

Anteater crooned “Walking in Memphis” by Marc Cohn, causing Scherzinger, 45, to say Anteater’s voice “felt like home.” 

“Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell served as Anteater’s additional clue.

“There was a time when I performed in front of 40 percent of the entire world,” Anteater said.

The judges thought Anteater could be Bryan Adams, John Cougar Mellencamp or Rick Springfield.

Candelabra closed out the night. 

“At just 12 years old, sitting up in my room, I called performers from my hometown, begging them to give me a chance to be on stage,” Candelabra said in their clue package, which included a gift “For Santa’s Naughty List,” California, a call to Kevin Hart and a butterfly. “Finally, one said ‘yes’ and my career ignited, but that never slowed by hustle.” 

Candelabra said they “reaped the rewards of my hard work with fans all over the world and plenty of accolades.”

The candle holder bopped along to “1 Thing” by Amerie. 

“You just owned that entire stage,” Scherzinger said. 

Then the Men in Black cued up “Two Princes” by the Spin Doctors for Candelabra’s extra clue. 

Mariah Carey, Regina Hall, Brandy Norwood and Anika Noni Rose came up as possibilities for Candelabra’s identity. 

Host Nick Cannon informed the studio audience that the time had come for them to vote for their favorite undercover celebrity of the night. The two performers with the fewest votes would go head to head in the Smackdown. This week, Cannon, 43, announced that that would be Hibiscus and Anteater.

They put their spin on “Hey Mickey” by Toni Basil, and the judges voted for Anteater to move forward in the competition, leaving Hibiscus to unmask.

The panel tossed out a few more thoughts for who Hibiscus might be, including Kim Cattrall and Hannah Waddingham. But when Hibiscus peeled back the petals and revealed their identity, McCarthy’s original guess of The Real Housewives of New York City alum Countess Luann, 58, appeared.
