\n\tA week after one of U.S. TV\u2019s \u201csupervillains<\/a>\u201d was unmasked on The Masked Singer,<\/em> viewers got another surprise Wednesday night (Oct. 11) when Pickle removed his giant prop head.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe theme of the night was the 2000s, and to drive the point home, *NSYNC\u2019s Lance Bass and The Office <\/em>actor Kate Flannery were among the special guests. <\/p>\n

\n\tWildcard Pickle got the show started off with a rendition of Weezer\u2019s \u201cBeverly Hills\u201d, followed by Gazelle with a cover of Britney Spears\u2019 \u201cLucky,\u201d and S\u2019more\u2019s rendition of Plain White T\u2019s\u2019 \u201cHey There Delilah.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tPickle and S\u2019more bottomed out with lowest vote count, which meant a head-to-head on Fall Out Boy\u2019s \u201cSugar, We\u2019re Goin Down.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe green guy got himself into a pickle; yes, Pickle was sent packing. <\/p>\n

\n\tBut first, the big reveal. Under the mildly terrifying Pickle helmet was Michael Rapaport, the New York City-based actor, funnyman and self-styled disruptor, who, on multiple occasions, has used his social channels to unload on Fox, the network behind The Masked Singer.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\tRapaport, as he does, delivered one of his signature rants, with shoutouts for each of the panelists, \u201cOh no. I didn\u2019t just do great, I did fantastic. I was unbelievable,\u201d he remarked. \u201cThe crowd went crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tChanging tone, the True Romance<\/em> star added, \u201cIn all seriousness I had a great time, I love this show, I love (host Nick Cannon), I love all these guys. The crowd was great, I hope they\u2019re feeding you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen the deed was done, Rapaport posted a clip from the green room and backstage, with the caption: \u201cThe People\u2019s Pickle. Big dill energy to the entire world and beyond. Smile for a moment if you can.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHosted by Cannon, the latest season includes a 16-strong fleet of contestants disguised in extravagant costumes including a Husky, Royal Hen, Tiki, Hawk, Hibiscus and Anteater.<\/p>\n

\n\tRapaport as Pickle joins Tom Sandoval as Diver, Anthony Anderson as Rubber Ducky and Demi Lovato as Anonymouse as season 10\u2019s unmasked celebrities.<\/p>\n

\n\tNicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, Jeong and Jenny McCarthy return as judges for the latest season, which airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Fox.<\/p>\n
