'The Masked Singer' Season 3: The Elephant is Tony Hawk, fans shocked to learn their predictions were wrong

Battling it out to see who will be joining the final three from Group A, the Banana, Elephant, Frog, Kitty, Mouse and Taco gave their best

Tonight's unmasking was one that no one expected, neither the judges nor fans. 

'The Masked Singer' Season 3 introduced us to the six new costumed celebrities from Group B on Wednesday night. Last week, the Turtle, the Kangaroo and the White Tiger secured their spot in the Super 9 after Miss Monster was unmasked to reveal none other than award-winning singer Chaka Khan. Judges Robin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy returned to their panel alongside host Nick Cannon. 

Back again this week, six masked celebrities from Group B took to stage for the first time, hoping to be the last "mask" standing. Battling it out to see who will be joining the final three from Group A, the Banana, Elephant, Frog, Kitty, Mouse and Taco gave their best but sadly not everyone could make it to the next round, as one celebrity was unmasked at the end of the episode.

The celebrity with the lowest votes, and unmasked was none other than the Elephant, which came as a shock to everyone. Prior to his performance, in the pre-taped clue package the Elephant revealed that he is a one-man show and was a calf when he found his calling. He also added, “I went from canvassing park benches to leading the charge of a massive movement." and has also been "parading through white houses." 

For his performance, the Elephant belted out his rendition to 'Friday I’m In Love' by The Cure. Post his performance, revealing how he feels to be under a mask, the Elephant shared, “I do not do dance choreography at all but this costume and this mask gives me the confidence to go for it.”

The panelist predicts that it might be either, Lance Armstrong, Travis Barker, Tommy Lee or Beto O’Rourke. Unmasked, the Elephant was revealed to be a legendary skating icon, Tony Hawk. This unmasking came as a shock to both the panelists and viewers. 

Taking to Twitter, a fan wrote, "OK, so I was wayyyy off on my guess on who the Elephant was. Wayyyy off  #MaskedSinger." Adding to that another said, "Wow. I did not think that the Elephant on @MaskedSingerFOX was @tonyhawk. What a pleasant surprise! #MaskedSinger." 

"Holy Miley @tonyhawk was the elephant in the #MaskedSinger bruh," a fan wrote while another shared, "Wow cant believe it was Tony Hawk as the #elephant on the #MaskedSinger."

"Shocked who the elephant turned out to be! #MaskedSinger He doesn't have a bad voice!" a fan shared. Another fan added saying, "I definitely wasn’t expecting the elephant to be Tony Hawk #MaskedSinger #Claflin_RYS20."
