'The Masked Singer' Season 3: Rob Gronkowski is the White Tiger, fans claim they already knew it

While the White Tiger's costume might look high and mighty, the White Tiger, wasn't necessarily a fan-favorite

The White Tiger's time in 'The Masked Singer' Season 3 has come to an end. And fans are glad their predictions were right and he's finally going home.

'The Masked Singer' Season 3 returned on Wednesday night for a mega competition where the champions from Group A, B and C took to center stage for an April-fools themed episode. The Super Nine finalists, that included the Turtle, White Tiger, Rhino, Miss Kitty, Astronaut, Kangaroo, Banana, Frog and Night Angel, battled it out against each other in an epic showdown vying to be the last masked singer standing. 

In a two-hour episode, before each performance, new clues were revealed about each masked singer. After the contestants from Group A, B and C were done performing, the judges -  Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke - decided which amongst the bottom three singers were going home. 

Based out of the votes after each group's performance, the White Tiger, Banana, and Rhino were in the bottom three. It was up to the judges to decide who to save and who to eliminate. After a lot of contemplation, the singer who was unmasked on Wednesday night was the White Tiger. For his performance this week, the White Tiger performed his rendition of 'I’m Too Sexy' by Right Said Fred. 

Though his moves were great, his singing wasn't enough to keep him in the competition. In his new clue package, he shared, "When I first got here, I’d never sung in front of a crowd. I didn’t even know what an eight-count was."

He also added, "I know I don’t have the best voice, trust me.”

The White Tiger advanced to the Super Nine after he won the Group A championships. While his costume might look high and mighty, the White Tiger wasn't necessarily a fan-favorite. Right from the start fans wanted the White Tiger gone, and now that he is finally eliminated, they couldn't be happier that their predictions were right, and that he is finally going home. 

The judges predicted that it might be either Rob Gronkowski, Joe Manganiello or JJ Watt under the mask. And right enough, Jenny McCarthy was on spot with her predictions. It was Rob under the mask. 

"The white tiger should’ve went home weeks ago. What a waste of an un masking! #TheMaskedSinger," a fan shared. 

"The White Tiger's identity was blatantly obvious since his first performance. I'm legit shocked that 2 of the panelists guessed wrong. #MaskedSinger," a fan said.

Another added, "I waited 2 hours to find out something I already knew- that Gronk was The White Tiger. I mean as much as I wanted him gone, it was a boring reveal. #TheMaskedSinger." 

"About time the white tiger went home. The cow skiing was the clue that made me think it was Rob Gronkowski. #Tigermask #TheMaskedSinger," a fan shared. Another added, "I knew that big mf under the White Tiger costume was Gronk! #TheMaskedSinger."
