The Masked Singer kicked off its 12th season this year with so many surprising unmasking. In a special episode that aired on Thursday, November 28, the show celebrated not just Thanksgiving but also the Peanuts characters.

The Masked Singer is a singing competition where celebrities from different fields of life get on the stage with a mask and a costume. The masks only get off when the contestant gets eliminated. However, to get the audience engaged, each contestant introduces a few verbal and physical clues about themselves for the judges to guess the face behind the mask.

Though the show started with 15 masked contestants after yesterday's episode only 4 remain. Sherlock Hound and Royal Knight were unmasked on November 28 and the reveal surprised the guests and the judges. Royal Knight was Jana Kramer, while Sherlock Hound was Bronson Arroyo.

The week of The Masked Singer was a very special one as the entire cast of Peanuts decided to stay for the holiday and celebrate Thanksgiving on the set. In addition to that, this week aired the finale for Group C to find the semi-finalists of this season.

On November 28, two masked singers had to give up on the hope of winning the show - Sherlock Hound who performed "Ho Hey" and Royal Knight who sang "Holiday".

Sherlock Hound got eliminated after the head-to-head challenge where he sang "Shivers" by Ed Sheeran. The mask revealed former Major League Baseball player, Bronson Arroyo. Out of the entire judges' panel, Robin Thicke and Ken Jeong made the right guesses.

The Royal Knight mask revealed actor and singer, Jana Kramer. It was only Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg who guessed it right.

The verbal clue that helped the panelists find the answer to the face behind Sherlock Hound was,

"As a young Hollywood starlet, that Miley was known for being free-spirited and fun, just like this old dog. See, when I was younger, I ran wild, crazy, and free, always gunning for a challenge. That's when I found myself in the bullpen facing my biggest case yet, to break an almost century-long curse. Many men had come before me and failed, but with my drive, I knew I could get us out of this jam. We were between a rock and a hard place, but I didn't roll over. And with my band behind me, a singlehandling broke the curse, claiming our spot in history. And while I went on to reinvent myself after that, just like Miley, I never forgot those glory days when I was fun, wild, and young."

The physical clues included sugar cubes, sweet tea, a stuffed bull eye patch, a diamond, a red guitar, a t-shirt that read "Who Are You Fest," long hair, and a red slide. All these clues together made it easy for some of the judges to find the answer.
