Spoiler alert! This story contains details from the Feb. 5 episode of "The Masked Singer," including the identity of the eliminated celebrity.

Another "Masked Singer" contestant's time has been cut short.

The singing competition returned for Season 3, following the Super Bowl. For Wednesday's show in its normal time slot (8 EST/PST), the undercover stars we met earlier in the week battled during the play-offs. 

Guest panelist Jason Biggs joined the show's resident sleuths Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke. The "American Pie" actor is a part of the Fox family, starring on its sitcom "Outmatched," about parenting geniuses.

Back on "The Masked Singer," the five contenders in the first group were cut down to four, but not before giving it their all, while revealing a little about their true identities.

Clues: "For a while, I started spinning my wheels, but then I started to envision my success. And to think on my feet," Llama told viewers. The contestant, who played the accordion in his clue package, also said he's intent on being "The greatest of all time, the G.O.A.T."  

After dazzling the panel with Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual," Llama shared the superlative he earned from the "Masked Academy," as another clue. "I was voted most likely to be near firing cannons," he revealed. Whatever that means!

Guesses: Biggs and Thicke believed it could be "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville in the get-up, while Jeong thought it to be comedian Joel McHale. McCarthy had another funny man on her mind: Zach Galifianakis. And Scherzinger threw out actor Woody Harrelson. 

Miss Monster is back.

Miss Monster

Clues: Miss Monster's clue package appeared to highlight her artistic side. The self-described "artist" was asked by Monster to been drawn "like one of your French monsters," a play on a famous line from "Titanic."

It seems this challenger is a bit of a renaissance woman. "People say, 'Miss Monster, Miss Monster, you can't do it all,' but why not try?" she said. "You've got to stand up for yourself in this dance."

A queen chess piece was highlighted in the package, which wasn't the only nod to nobility. 

"I was most likely to be in the presence of royalty," she revealed as her "Masked Academy" superlative. 

Guesses: After hearing Miss Monster perform "Fancy" by Bobbie Gentry, McCarthy guessed the participant to be Mary Wilson of the Supremes. While the emphasis on royalty led Biggs to think of the one-time wife of the King of Rock and Roll, Priscilla Presley. Jeong's guess of Celine Dion drew boos from the crowd.

"I'm no stranger to celebrating; I love a good block party," he added.

The contestant also gave it his all during his performance of "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch, which left White Tiger winded

His "Masked Academy" superlative appeared to reveal how loyal he is as a pal.

"I was voted most likely to go to the mat for a friend," he said, "and I did, literally."

Guesses: According to some on the panel, White Tiger is a former athlete. Biggs brought up former wrestler Hulk Hogan, while Thicke threw out retired NFL players Charles Haley and Rob Gronkowski.

Clues: The contestant showed off basketball skills on the "Kangaroo Kourt." "Sometimes it feels like everyone is against me, but I know I just need to have courage and get back in the game," she shared. "I'm already feeling more confident, and I'm determined to make the most of this fresh start."

The performer also spoke of having a  "little roo."

After belting out Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good," the star shared she was "voted most likely to appear on a list with Seal and Mike Tyson, and I might've been."

Guesses: For Thicke, the clues pointed to WNBA player Candace Parker, but for Biggs, signed pointed to "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" alum/singer Tatyana Ali. Jeong guessed Gabrielle Union.

Will Turtle be safe by a hare?

Turtle

Clues: Turtle spoke of the contrast between who he wants to be and what others desire from him.

"People have always expected me to act a certain way. That really tests me," he said. "Well, I want to rebel from all that." 

"You can punish me all you like for being myself, but if I want to sing a love song, I'm gonna sing a love song," he said. And he did. Turtle performed James Arthur's "Say You Won't Let Go." 

He also divulged, "I was voted most likely to hunt for booty, and I have, often."

Guesses: This had Jeong thinking of A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys, while Thicke envisioned Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong. Biggs brought Darius Rucker into the mix, while Scherzinger stuck with her previous guess of Zac Efron.

The Elimination

Wednesday, it was Llama who was sent to ride off into the sunset. 

Before being unmasked, the panel presented their final guesses. Scherzinger still believed his identity to be Harrelson, while Thicke ventured to guess it was comedian Adam Carolla. Jeong still suspected McHale, but McCarthy brought up "Frasier" star Kelsey Grammer. Biggs stuck with Knoxville. 

But they were all wrong. Llama is actually comedian and "Price Is Right" host Drew Carey.  

He told the panel his "firing cannons" clue referred to the fact he was in the Marine Corps Reserves as a radio operator in a mortar platoon.

And when Cannon asked why he did the show, he said, "The show looked like a lot of fun, and I like having a goof and a lot of laughs, that's why. This is a great show, man, I had a blast."
