She blew everyone away with her performance on night one, during the playoffs, and the Group A finals last week. The judges haven't been able to guess the correct identity of the masked celebrity yet but the audience watching from home have it on lock and are sure it's the former host of 'The Real', Tamera Mowry-Housley.

All clues for Seashell on 'The Masked Singer'
During the first episode, the Seashell in her beach-themed clue package spoke about "wearing many hats", the biggest takeaway from her second clue package was the hint that she was married to a "total jock" who was her strength to this day. The clue package also revealed that the seashell's return to the stage came after a very long hiatus. She stood in front of a tornado which had a microphone, a book, a barbell, and a bowl of food caught up in its vortex and she seashell said, "I wear many hats, so sometimes it can be a bit of a tornado, but I like to see myself as a superhero."
In her most recent clue package from the Group A Finals episode that aired last week, Seashell spoke about being honored to be called a "trailblazer, a role model". Seashell said that the adulation she receives from her fans when she's out at the mall or when she's at the movies makes her proud of her journey which didn't have a great start. "When I was younger shells like me weren't given many opportunities to be seen. But, I fought the current that flowed against me. And now, seeing so many people following my path — that's what keeps me going strong," she said.
All clues for Seashell point to Tamera Mowry-Housley
The mention of being recognized at the mall in the most recent clue package could be a nod to the scene from the first episode of the '90s sitcom 'Sister, Sister' that she starred in. In last week's episode, host Nick Cannon also threw a t-shirt at the judges as part of Seashell's clue package, and the word 'Motown' etched on it solidifies the guess that it's Tamera. For those who didn't watch 'Sister, Sister', Motown songs were a constant fixture in the initial seasons of this show that was about two long-lost twins who were brought together after a chance meeting.
One of the visual clues included a broom, and fans are sure this is a nod to her role in the movie 'Twitches'. She also spoke about being "pulled by the tide all across the globe" in her very first clue package which could be Tamera referencing her military upbringing which required her to move quite a bit. In one of the clue packages, there was a stopwatch set for 2 minutes, and that's exactly how much older Tamera is to her twin sister Tia. She also referenced her husband Adam Housley's baseball career where she referred to him as a "jock". And lastly, the sinking pink bell that was part of her first clue package could be a reference to the many Hallmark movies she has appeared in.
Fans believe Tamera Mowry-Housley is the Seashell
"I think it's Tamara Mowry, the Chameleon clue was a reference to her role in 'Are You Afraid of the Dark' in the Chameleon episode, the broom was a reference to the movie 'Twitchies'" read a comment. "The way she entered the stage and the clue “no two shells are the same “ (twin) and the voice made me immediately know its Tamera Mowry. I didn’t even need the clue package," read another comment posted under Seashell's performance video on 'The Masked Singer's official YouTube channel.
"This is definitely Tamera! Listen to how she pronounces her words!! Very clear diction! She’s always sung like that," read another comment. "I'm guessing Tamara. The "catwalk" entrance reminds me of how she would enter 'The Real'. She was also a childhood actress, as well as how she traveled a lot because she was a military brat, plus she is from TX," another fan wrote.
