Nessy was unmasked in the latest episode of The Masked Singer Season 13, just shy of the finale, leaving fans in shock. When the final five competitors hit the stage for yet another round of thrilling performances in Episode 11, the unexpected turn of events occurred. Nessy, who had been a favorite among fans since the beginning, gave a heartfelt performance of “Million Reasons,” by Lady Gaga, that many thought was good enough to land him in the Top 4.

There was more surprise to come. As the mask came off, the audience learned that Nessy was actually Edwin McCain, the singer-songwriter best known for his ballad "I'll Be" from the 1990s. The revelation was even more stunning because many people had not noticed his appearance on the broadcast. Social media was swiftly used by fans to express their shock at his identification and removal.

The tournament is now down to the top 4 as Nessy leaves the stage. Fans are holding their breath to see who will be declared the next Masked Singer winner, and emotions are running high with only a few shows remaining before the finale. Social media is booming with fans expressing their disappointment with Nessy's elimination.
