We re falling for Russian Dolls Shallow
Clues: Some of the Russian Dolls shared the heartache of their childhoods. Growing up, we were laughed at, one said. Even the way we looked was criticized, like we could help it.
This week, the Russian Dolls performed Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, offering the audience a simple yet beautiful performance.
The Russian Dolls Mind Reader clue alluded to the ever-changing number of their group, using an image of a kangaroo. Just like a kangaroo with its joeys, you never know how many of us are gonna pop out.
Guesses: McCarthy and Thicke felt confident in selecting MMMBop singers Hanson. Jeong thought the dolls could be Nickelback s lead singer Chad Kroeger and Sk8er Boi artist Avril Lavigne.

“The Masked Singer” returned to its classic format on Wednesday after taking a week off from eliminations for its first-ever “Masky Awards” episode last week. That meant at the end of tonight’s episode, one of the remaining “Spicy Six” contestants was cut from the lineup and unmasked.
The returning competitors were Russian Doll(s), Robopine (f.k.a. Porcupine), Yeti, Chameleon, Black Swan and Piglet. Each one performed for judges Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, guest panelist Chrissy Metz and host Nick Cannon, while also giving a few more clues about their identities. In fact, each contestant was technically unmasked, but wore visors to completely cover their faces as they revealed some hints about themselves.
