Breaking down The Masked Singer season 13's biggest clues and guesses

Yorkie

Biggest clues from first clue package:

• “Becoming Yorkie is kismet — we’re both sassy, fashion-forward, and, dare I say it, popular. But don’t be fooled by the designer dog look, I’ve still got a bite… I mean Yorkies were bred to catch rats,” she says
• Yorkie says this is a good skill to have when you’ve been through a lot, and she’s “been through a lot of crazy stuff”

• “It rescued me in my darkest hours and has led me here,” she says of music
• Her costume has bejeweled heart sunglasses, a charm bracelet with money signs and hearts, and Ugg boots — all of which get a close-up in her package

• A party hat with a rat on it, a giant diamond ring, and poker chips all appear in the package as well

Judges' guesses for Yorkie: Chelsea Handler, Paris Hilton, Kyle Richards

Stud Muffin

Biggest clues from first clue package:

• “Becoming Stud Muffin makes sense because I’ve had a muffin top the majority of my life, and I’ve always said if I could have any dream job, I would be a mascot — get people pumped up and nobody knows who you are,” he says
• So, he’s here as Stud Muffin to “rep my team”
• Says before he and his “strong crew” were sweeping the competition, he was sweeping floors — literally
• But then he found his “right hook” which was his shot at “the big time”

• On stage he says: “One of my teammates used to run with a mascot, and I thought it was so cool, but no. Love the idea, but Nick, love doesn’t cost a thing”
• Light blue basketball shoes, a jar of jam, a wad of $1 bills, and Stud Muffin graffiti all appear in the package as well

Judges' guesses for Stud Muffin: Method Man, Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan

Nessy

Biggest clues from first clue package:

• “Becoming Nessy just makes sense. I too am a gentle giant, I stick my neck out for the people I love, and I’m a little bit mysterious,” he says
• “Like the Loch Ness Monster, some would call me a legend, but I’m a pretty private guy, so unless you’ve ventured deep into the anchors of my estate, you might never catch a glimpse of me”

• “I get the glory and the solitude with my family”
• He polishes a red horseshoe
• On stage he says: “I took a lot of time off to be with my family, but then being able to come on here and be invited back into the limelight, it really feels good”

Judges' guesses for Nessy: Gene Simmons, Dan Reynolds, Daryl Hall

Mad Scientist Monster

Biggest clues from first clue package:

• “Becoming the Mad Scientist Monster fits perfectly for me, because you have to be a little bit crazy, keep experimenting, and reinventing yourself, which is why I’m here — I’m gonna win this thing,” he says
• Sometimes in life you think you have “the perfect equation” and that things “will be simple” — he was on a path to be the best in his field
• “My skills made the scouts go wild, it seemed like everyone wanted to recruit me to their team”
• But when it was time for his chance he says “everything combusted”
• “They sidelined me, I about lost my mind, but in the chaos, a new experiment bubbled to the surface — you see, for every action there is a reaction, and my reaction changed the world”
• Says he found his purpose after all
• On stage he says: “You know what, this is so important to me because it gives me an opportunity to reintroduce myself to fans in a way that they’ve never seen before”

 Judges' guesses for Mad Scientist Monster: Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Blake Shelton

• Says he had “extravagant dreams” of being a clown, so he taught himself to juggle
• He then shifted into being a high school magician, and he even entered a talent show and won
• The only job he could find at graduation was busking, which didn’t pay the bills
• “It was more panic, less disco, but I trusted that this was my calling because I believe in a thing called 'doing what you love,' and one moment can change everything”
