Who are The Masked Singer contestants?
On February 20, 2022, the Fox network website provided fans with a sneak peek of what’s to come for the seventh cycle.
Familiar viewers already have the knowledge that the competitors won’t be revealed until they are eliminated.
For this edition’s twist, the contestants are divided into three separate groups: The Good, The Bad, and The Cuddly.
The participants were revealed to be:
- Armadillo

- Cyclops
- Firefly
- Hydra
- Jack in the Box
- Lemur
- McTerrier
- Miss Teddy
- The Prince
- Queen Cobra

What masked singer team is Ram on?
Ram appears on team Bad, along with Cyclops and Queen Cobra.
This season, FOX announced they'd be dividing the group into Teams Good, Bad, and Cuddly.
Who is Ram, continued
It was the first clue of the season and was released during the 2022 Super Bowl when the Rams took on the Cincinnati Bengals.
The obvious guess amongst fans was that it could be Johnny Hekker of the LA Rams (whose jersey is #6)
The helmet color matches up with the Los Angeles team as well.
Fans also theorize that it could be Tom Brady, who has six Super Bowl rings.
Other guesses also include a list of actors who have played in football movies, or who played football themselves before getting into acting.
Who is Ram on The Masked Singer?
The Ram costume is inspired by early Greek and Roman mythology, and there's a lot to unpack regarding who it could be.
The costume features golden horns and a golden suit of armor.
Some have speculated that the costume could be paying tribute to Ares, the God of War. In modern times, that could mean the celebrity behind the mask is an Aries, based on their birthdate.
The first clue released by The Masked Singer's official Twitter page, as well as on their YouTube channel, is of a yellow and blue football helmet with the number six on it.
Who is Baby Mammoth?
Baby Mammoth is one of the contestants on the latest season of American reality series, The Masked Singer.
A member of Team Cuddly, Baby Mammoth is a hot pink elephant-looking creature, complete with long eyelashes and a big smile.

The other characters of Team Cuddly include Miss Teddy, Lemur, Space Bunny, and Thingamabob.
- Danielle Cinone
Who is Space Bunny?
Space Bunny is one of the contestants on the latest season of American reality series, The Masked Singer.

- Danielle Cinone
Who is Queen Cobra, continued
On February 21, 2022, the program's official YouTube page previewed a teaser of the season premiere which displayed Queen Cobra and the rest of Team Bad.
Viewers took to the comments section of the video to pitch their thoughts.
One viewer commented: "Queen Cobra's Superman thing and the mention of 'lane' made me think of Teri Hatcher playing Lois Lane all those years, and while Teri isn't exactly KNOWN for her dancing, she did dance ballet and has an amazing voice."
Another fan guessed: "I think Queen Cobra is someone that played Lois Lane, but I'm just gonna go for a wild guess and say that so far, I think she's Anne Heche."
- Danielle Cinone
Who is Queen Cobra on The Masked Singer season 7?
Before the actual broadcast of their seventh season, The Masked Singer released information regarding the costumes the contestants are using as their disguises.
One of the competitors announced was Queen Cobra, a participant incognito as a purple, snake-like being with a basked to pop in and out of.
Entertainment Weekly provided the descriptive bio: "With her blue and pink costume, big green eyes, eyelashes, and pouty lips, Queen Cobra almost seems too cute to be 'bad.'"
"And look, she even has her own woven basket to pop in and out of."
- Danielle Cinone
Who is Cyclops, continued
On March 8, 2022, the program's official YouTube page previewed a teaser of the season premiere, which showed panelist Jenny McCarthy attempting to guess Cyclops' identity.
Based on Cyclops' performance – which was not a part of the teaser – Jenny guessed the celebrity had to be a cast member of the Netflix television show, Cobra Kai.
- Danielle Cinone
Who is Cyclops on The Masked Singer season 7?
Before the actual broadcast of their seventh season, The Masked Singer released information regarding the costumes the contestants are using as their disguises.
One of the competitors announced was Cyclops, a competitor donning a green one-eyed monster costume.
Entertainment Weekly provided the descriptive bio: "This isn't the first one-eyed costume on The Masked Singer, but it's probably the scariest."
"Featuring a glowing red animatronic eye, a crazy unibrow, and some hands and feet in serious need of a mani-pedi, Cyclops definitely fits the 'bad' bill."
- Danielle Cinone
Who is McTerrier, continued
Unlike the other contestants masked as dogs, McTerrier denotes Scottish heritage and culture, leaving many fans to speculate what celebrity might be behind the mask.
Guesses range from Gerard Butler and Kevin McKidd to Craig Ferguson and Mike Myers.
Despite their best guesses, fans will have to wait until their favorite masked singer is revealed in the upcoming season.
- Danielle Cinone
Who is McTerrier from The Masked Singer?
While the singer behind the mask won't be revealed until they're eliminated or have won the season, fans are already speculating about McTerrier's identity.
McTerrier is the fifth dog costume to take the stage since The Masked Singer first aired in 2019.
Previous dog contestants included Rottweiler who was revealed to be Chris Daughtry, Bulldog turned out to be Nick Cannon, Margaret Cho as the Poodle, and Tyga as Dalmatian.
- Danielle Cinone
Who is Lemur, continued
One fan speculated on Twitter that the Lemur is a female celebrity.
"Y’all knew I was gonna freak about this. We have a lemur in The Masked Singer USA Season 7 folks! We won’t know yet, but here’s hoping this chick can bring it!"
Although the identity of Lemur has yet to be revealed, one thing has been revealed and that is that Lemur will be on Team Cuddly for this season.
- Danielle Cinone
Who is Lemur on The Masked Singer?
The identity behind who is under the mask of Lemur will not be revealed until eliminations begin on the show.

The Lemur sports sparkling purple tights that become one with their sparkling boots.
Lemur's eyes are the color of a sunset and they sport an all purple fuzzy coat and tail with a white chest.
- Danielle Cinone
What Masked Singer team is the Prince on?
Fox recently announced that this season, singers would be competing on teams.
It was also announced that the Prince will be on Team Good, alongside Firefly and McTerrier, and Ringmaster.
- Danielle Cinone
Who is the Prince, continued
In particular, there is a lot of buzz around the idea that it could be Stephen Curry, who is number 30 for the NBA's Golden State Warriors.
This is also fueled by the crown, which could represent Curry being raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is known as the "Queen City."
Other fans believe it could be Justin Timberlake, because of the viral meme that always goes around on April 30, of Timberlake singing "It's gonna be May (me)."
- Danielle Cinone
Who is the Prince?
While it's too early to know what celebrity is behind the royal frog costume, some fans have their theories.
The first clue, released by The Masked Singer's official Twitter page, as well as on their YouTube channel, is the Prince wearing a letterman's jacket with the number 30 on it.
This, combined with the fact that the celebrity is dressed like a frog has many fans speculating that it could be a basketball player.
- Danielle Cinone
Who is Armadillo, continued
The Armadillo is set to be on Team Good for season 7.
Some fans speculate the Friends actor as the Armadillo as his character famously dressed up as one on an episode of the show.
Some of the other costumes coming to season 7 include:
- Jack in the Box
- Hydra
- Firefly
Who is Armadillo?
Although the identity behind Armadillo has yet to be unmasked ahead of the season 7 premiere some sleuths are speculating who it could be.
One user on Twitter wrote: "there's going to be an armadillo in the upcoming season of the masked singer, which means someone has to guess david schwimmer just once out of principle, right? 😆"
The armadillo costume is a completely brand new costume on The Masked Singer.
The costume consists of a golden armadillo wearing chunky boots and plenty of fringe.
Who is Firefly?
Ahead of the broadcast of their seventh season, The Masked Singer released information regarding the costumes the contestants are using as their disguises.
Firefly was one of the competitors announced. Entertainment Weekly gave a description of Firefly stating: "The black latex bodysuit is a bit reminiscent of American Horror Story's Rubberman, but nonetheless, this delightful bug hopes to really light up The Masked Singer stage with their vocals (and, ok, that glowing backside, too)."
Since the first clue shows a tiara for Firefly, a guess would be singer and actress, Idina Menzel.
This is because she played the princess Elsa in Frozen.
Additionally, she has appeared in other princess-themed movies such as Cinderella and Enchanted.
Who is Hydra?
There could be more than one person inside the costume due to its large size. This is the first season where the show dips into Greek mythology.
Hydra will be facing off against Team Bad, Team Good and Team Cuddly.
The three-headed beast will join the latter team joining Cyclops, Ram, Queen Cobra, and Jack in the Box.
Team Good consists of Firefly, McTerrier, Prince, and Ringmaster. Team Cuddly consists of Thingamabob, Lemur, Space Bunny, and Baby Mammoth.
Now that the seventh season is vastly approaching, fans can look forward to new unique costumes and surprise contestants.
