Nick Cannon returned as the host of The Masked Singer season 11, along with panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, and Ken Jeong. However, Nicole Scherzinger is sitting out this season due to her prior commitment starring in London’s West End production of Sunset Boulevard. Therefore, Rita Ora took her place on the panel.

The Masked Singer season 11 Group A contestants returned to the competition for Transformers Night after making their debut during the premiere. The group originally was made up of Starfish, Goldfish, Ugly Sweater, and Book. During premiere night, Book unmasked himself and was revealed to be actor and comedian Kevin Hart. During Transformers Night, the Wild Card contestant Koala was introduced. Starfish, Goldfish, and Ugly Sweater moved on to the Group A finals. Here are the clues to help figure out who Starfish really is.

Starfish’s Premiere Night Performance & Clues

During The Masked Singer season 11 premiere, Starfish performed “Material Girl” by Madonna. When she appeared on stage, Jenny commented that she was “just an itty bitty thing.” Starfish’s clue package took place on the beach. She began by saying, “I heard you guys were having a premiere party, so I threw on a bathing suit and came straight over.”

Starfish continued, “When I was just starting out, I was serving steaks to the stars, with nothing to my name.” A cup filled with markers and a pair of scissors was then shown on a bar, and she knocked it over. Starfish said, “I rubbed elbows with the likes of Steve Martin and Whitney Houston,” as framed photographs of them were shown. Starfish added, “But all I heard was, ‘Check please!'” She then walked past a sign that said, “No shirt, no shoes, no Starfish!,” with a green four-leaf clover at the bottom of it.

Starfish went on to say, “Then, I got the gig of a lifetime. One that would make my name known worldwide.” A bottle with “PA’s Sunscreen” written on it was then shown, along with a plush doll with brown hair sitting on a beach chair. Starfish said, “Now I have it all, and I can afford it!,” as Masked Singer money with her face on it rained down on her. The Masked Singer contestant concluded by saying, “So trust that your ‘yes’ is coming. Or just find a rich sugar mama like me to mooch off of.” Starfish ended with a laugh.

After Starfish’s performance, another clue about her was revealed. The clue was a clock that said 9 o’clock with the words, “50 Billion,” printed on it. Starfish explained, “I’ve been streamed over 50 billion minutes! And that was just in one year!”

Starfish’s Transformers Night Performance & Clues

During The Masked Singer season 11 Transformers Night, Starfish sang “21 Guns” by Green Day. Her clue package began with a recap of her premiere night performance. She gushed, “Aw, you guys made this Material Girl feel like a million bucks, and being here has allowed me to unlock my inner pop star.”

The scene then changed to a music venue. Starfish said, “Growing up, while other kids played in the sandbox, I played with a jukebox.” She then played some music from a jukebox and danced. Starfish continued, “That machine transformed my life. It opened my ears to Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, and, of course, Green Day.” Album covers with each of those acts were then shown.

Starfish went on to say, “It inspired me to join a band.“ A fishbowl with a goldfish was then shown, with a sign inside of it that said, “Teacher’s Lounge,” with a red apple painted on it. As Starfish said, “I toured the nation.“ She then walked past a red neon sign that said, “LIVE.” Starfish then danced in front of a stage, saying, “I’ve been lucky to dabble in many tide pools. This starfish is versatile, baby.”

Starfish then stood behind a table that had Starfish merchandise on it, including an album called “Starfish: Greatest Hits,” a pile of t-shirts with her name on them, pink and yellow scuba masks, a baseball cap with a blue star on it, and a purple t-shirt with a blue star on it. She said, “I mean, if those robotty things can turn into different stuff, then so can I!“ Starfish then walked away saying, “Now, here I come, guns a-blazing!”

After Starfish’s performance, another clue was revealed about her identity. Transformers’ Optimus Prime came out to share the clue. He said, “A true teammate, Starfish has earned awards as part of a talented group.“

Starfish’s Identity Predictions

The Masked Singer season 11 panelists offered several guesses for Starfish during premiere night. Rita predicted that she might be Catherine O’Hara. Robin thought that maybe she was Cheri Oteri, while Jenny guessed that she might be Molly Shannon. During Transformers Night, Jenny guessed that Starfish might be Amy Poehler. Robin thought she could be Tina Fey. Rita theorized that she might be Maya Rudolph.

However, Starfish’s clues actually point in the direction of another comedic actress: The Office star Kate Flannery. Kate worked as a waitress, serving come very famous celebrities. She even kept that job when she was working on The Office season 1 starring as Meredith Palmer, a role she played from 2005-2013. The show has been streamed for over 50 billion minutes in a year, which was referred to in a clue.

The Office usually aired at 9 p.m. on NBC, which explains the time on the clock clue. The cup with office supplies in it also refers to that show. In addition, in 2007 and 2008, Kate won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series alongside her Office co-stars, which explains that clue.

Other clues also point to Kate. In the late 1990s, Kate was a member of the band, Mono Puff, and performed under the stage name “Lady Puff.” She toured the nation with them, which she talked about in her Transformers Night clue package. Also, Kate is of Irish descent, which explains the four-leaf clover.

The Masked Singer season 11’s Starfish is so fun and energetic, and really lights up the stage. Whoever she turns out to be, she is certain to go down in history as one of the most entertaining contestants ever. The Masked Singer season 11’s Starfish is a true star, and will go far.
