EvenRobin Thickeis trying his hand at country songwriting, coming up with an impromptu twang-filled song aboutWillie Nelson.
Methinks it is likely not climbing to the top of the country charts.
But something that might is how the show opens.

Now, is it fair that perhaps one of these masked celebrities may be a literal country star?
It’s all about the fun!
Speaking of fun,Rita Orawas out having some other fun, so the panel needs a temporary substitute.

Will the substitute be a country icon in their own right?
It’s none other than the hilarious ladyCasey Wilson!
The criteria that make her applicable is being a country music super fan.

Pearl Is Right At Home on Grand Ole Opry Night
Pearl kicks off the country fest.
She says that stars have shined bright at the Opry, but none has shined brighter thanDolly Parton.
In addition to the Dolly clue, there is an image of a Christmas wreath.
She dedicates her performance to the reigning queen of the Opry, while thanking her for the outfit.
She sings what she considers a true hidden gem of Dolly’s, “Here You Come Again.”
As any Dolly Parton fan might say, a true classic.
Nevertheless, she is quite sweet, bringing the lyrics to life.
This week, the extra clue is displayed on a country music staple: boots.
Pearl’s boots display a strong arm.
In fact, I’ve been quoted as saying that."
But she also feels there were hints ofKellie Pickler, a belovedAmerican Idolalum.
Could the brand new American Idol judge be on FOX?
Based on the story of the pants, we firmly believe this must beGretchen Wilson.
He says that there has been no one with a better voice than his mom.
He shares that his parents were musicians and filled their homes with happy songs.
It’s where he got it!
A darkness washed over him, causing him to be out of hope.
He misses her every day, but hearing her voice is the next best thing to having her there.
Dedicating his song to his mom, he takes on “Something in the Water” byCarrie Underwood.
For a voice likely known for upbeat tunes, it’s refreshing hearing a softer side to him.
His tone is riveting, showcasing his powerful belt through the chorus.
It’s a solid performance that brings the panel to their feet.
Robin makes a connection with Boogie Woogie, having felt the pain of losing a parent.
He thinks this could beRyan TedderofOneRepublicfame.
Ken thinks it’s his good friendGavin DeGraw.
It’s actually a great guess, as they both fit that same vocal styling.
Casey will come in and say it could beJosh Groban.
Ken says it’s a great guess, but Josh Groban is known for his immaculate baritone.
Boogie Woogie is a tenor.
We think this has to beAndy Grammer.
The guesses thus far really lead us toward him.
‘The Masked Singer’ revealed Bat as a major ‘Vanderump Rules’ star.
Griffin Takes Us Home on ‘The Masked Singer’
Griffin has a big appreciation for country music.
After so many years in the spotlight, he moved his family to the country.
He says that recently, he received news that changed everything, creating a really tough year.
He calls them his safe space and his home.
It’s a sweet and delicate performance, filled with heart.
If it brought you to tears, you’re not alone.
This is easily his strongest performance all season long.
He gets the entire audience to sing along.
Even an incognito, out-of-drag audience cameo appearance fromRuPaul’s Drag RaceSeason 17’sAcacia Forgot.
Of course, the country queen with aspirations to perform at the Opry knows all the words.
After the mushy love fest from Robin and Griffin toward their own family, another clue is revealed.
Only recently has he come out to disclose his colorectal cancer diagnosis,opening up about it more.
Has the panel picked up on what we know?
Well, Robin is leaning towardFriday Night Lights, guessingKyle Chandler.
Ken thinks it’sJosh Hartnett.
Casey, who has been “watching from home,” throws out our guess.
She’s smarter than the full-time panel!
With the votes from the audience and panel, one masked celebrity is moving straight to the Lucky 6.
The lucky singer is Pearl.
A bit of a shocker, but this was an easy week for her.
It’s down to Boogie Woogie and Griffin in the Battle Royale.
Only one will make it through.
Of all the country music options, this one?
Fine, we’ll go with the modern choice.
Griffin’s performance lacks any flavors beyond what you’d hear from the original track.
The accent is blatantly obvious.
Even Jenny can hear it.
“Then Banana Split comes out, which we know, half of whom wasKatharine McPhee.
Who could it be?
It has to beTaika Waititi, right?
Before he is officially revealed, it’s the Crack the Case Clue Case.
Inside is a football.
He says that it was a big part of his career.
Bring out the feathers and dancing shoes!
