Former NFL players, decked up in lavish costumes, jumped at the chance to take on a new challenge on Fox’s renowned singing competition, “The Masked Singer.” They made the switch from gridiron glory to the stage, trading in their helmets for microphones and surprising everyone with their vocal prowess.
A further element of suspense was introduced by the double-elimination structure, which made every performance a high-stakes match. The spectacle of former football icons displaying their hidden abilities captivated the audience, demonstrating how unexpectedly athleticism and artistry can come together. These football legends defied stereotypes with every song they sang, leaving a lasting impression on the entertainment industry.
The most recent episode, with the theme “Transformers Night,” aired on Wednesday, April 10. Love Bird and Koala encountered the music, but not in the way they had imagined. The show was full of unexpected surprises.
Starfish ruled the stage with “21 Guns” by Green Day, while Goldfish serenaded the crowd with “Baby Come Back” by Player. Love Bird soars with ‘All That You Are’ by Goo Goo Dolls, Ugly Sweater brings the funk with ‘Brick House’ by the Commodores, and Tears for Fears’ ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ charms as the wild card. Nevertheless, Koala and Love Bird were tied for last place on the scoreboard.

Colton Underwood, a former NFL player and well-known star of “The Bachelor” and “Coming Out Colton,” was standing behind Love Bird’s bird mask. Underwood said, “I worked my entire life playing football, but I never got to experience the arts, music, and theatre,” in reflection of his unexpected journey on the show. I appreciate you allowing me to travel back in time and discover that imaginative child. This show has been so much pleasure for me.”
After Underwood’s disclosure, NFL Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware—another football legend—came to light behind the Koala outfit.
The eleventh season of “The Masked Singer” has seen the departure of several prominent characters, including Sisqó (the Lizard), Billy Bush (the Sir Lion), Joe Bastianich (the Spaghetti & Meatballs), Savannah Chrisley (the Afghan Hound), and Kevin Hart (the Book). Underwood’s portrayal of Love Bird and Ware’s unexpected reappearance as Koala represent yet another chapter in the show’s history.
The show’s charismatic cast remains intact, with Nick Cannon reprising his role as host. Along with him are newbie Rita Ora, who is standing in for Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, who is presently captivating audiences in the London West End production of “Sunset Boulevard,” and returning judges Robin Thicke, McCarthy-Wahlberg, and Ken Jeong.
