\n\tIt\u2019s that time of year again, the fall, when the flowers drop ahead of the dark, colder months. <\/p>\n
\n\tAppropriately it was Hibiscus that fell on The Masked Singer<\/em> on Wednesday night (Nov. 8), and the U.S. reality TV star behind the mask was eliminated from the 2023 competition. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cOne-Hit Wonders\u201d was the theme of Fox\u2019s kooky singing contest, as Anteater (singing \u201cWalking in Memphis\u201d by Marc Cohn), Candelabra (singing \u201c1 Thing\u201d by Amerie), Donut (performing \u201cHooked on a Feeling\u201d by Blue Swede) and Hibiscus (performing \u201cIt\u2019s Raining Men by the Weather Girls\u201d) put on a show. \n\tOnly one could stay. Anteater had it licked. <\/p>\n \n\tUnder the Hibiscus mask was Real Housewife of New York City<\/em> and cabaret singer Luann De Lesseps, also known as \u201cThe Countess.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cSo much fun,\u201d she said before heading for the exit. \u201cI had the best time\u201d. A parting message, \u201cI\u2019ll see you all at my cabaret show.\u201d And a simple request to keep Hibiscus outfit with her impressive collection. <\/p>\n \n\tDe Lesseps as Hibiscus departs the competition, joining the likes of Posey as Hawk, Billie Jean King as Royal Hen, Michael Rapaport as Pickle, Tom Sandoval as Diver, Anthony Anderson as Rubber Ducky and Demi Lovato as Anonymouse as this season\u2019s unmasked celebrities.<\/p>\n \n\tRobin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy return as judges for the latest season, which airs Wednesdays on Fox at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n \n\tHosted by Nick Cannon, a wide variety of stars have competed in their ridiculous outfits since the show debuted in 2019, from sports superstars to comedians, actors and more, but the standouts are typically musicians. The very first winner was hip-hop artist T-Pain, who left his trademark Auto-Tune behind to show off his pipes au naturel.<\/p>\n \n\tWatch Hibiscus\u2019 final acts below.<\/p>\n
Hibiscus and Anteater came off second best, and went into the Smackdown with a rendition of Toni Basil\u2019s \u201cHey Mickey.\u201d<\/p>\n
