'The Masked Singer': The Serpent eliminated and revealed as Dr Elvis Francois, furious fans say 'he was robbed'

A fan wrote, 'Who the f*ck voted off the Serpent?! He’s amazing! This is bullsh*t!'

Dr Elvis Francois, nicknamed "The Singing Surgeon" got the boot on Wednesday night's episode of 'The Masked Singer'. For the unversed, he went viral at the beginning of the pandemic after he delivered an uplifting and inspiring performance to 'Believe' and many other cover songs, all scrubbed up and working the piano. Dr Elvis was revealed as The Serpent. He was one of the best talents on Season 4 and to watch him go has not been easy for fans who've been following the show.

"SERPENT WAS ROBBED #TheMaskedSinger," wrote a fan. "Who the f*ck voted off the Serpent?! He’s amazing! This is bullsh*t! #TheMaskedSinger," said another. "The serpent and the mushroom are my favorite this season. I'm so upset that the serpent went home. Please excuse me while I go cry into my pillow. The voice, the costume, you deserved so much more Dr. Elvis #TheMaskedSinger," read another tweet. "Let’s talk about how much of a joke the masked singer was tonight that crowd needs their hearing checked cause the serpent was the best tonight.. #theserpent #themaskedsinger #maskedsingerfox #maskedsinger," wrote another fan. "Why did the Serpent go home before the Crocodile? Who the f**k is voting? I just wanna talk. #TheMaskedSinger" read another tweet. "I'm so mad. This is bullshit serpent deserved SECOND IN THE ENTIRE SHOW. #TheMaskedSinger" read another tweet. 

The judges on the panel were shocked to see the singing surgeon being unmasked. None of them but one had been able to guess his identity correctly. Guest judge Cheryl Hines guessed him as actor Donald Faison, a guess that Robin Thicke ran along with. However, Nicole Sherzinger had other thoughts and she was completely sure that she had it in the bag with Dr. Elvis as her guess. She reflected back at the time she and Dr. Elvis covered Andra Day's 'Rise Up' in honor of all the essential workers around the world who were working on the frontlines during the pandemic, on 'After The Mask' for 'The Masked Singer. Sherlock Scherzy as she's called on the show was one hundred percent sure that it was none but Dr. Elvis and chose to stick with her guess to the very end and it did pay off. 

'The Masked Singer' airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on FOX.
