The World Series of baseball has officially passed, so we can finally get back to America's true pastime: guessing which celebrity just gave a stunning musical performance while wearing a wacky costume. The Masked Singer returned to its regularly scheduled time tonight as Season 10 continues with more jaw-dropping numbers and shocking reveals.
During Episode 7, the theme was One Hit Wonders Night, which meant that the costumed performers played that one song you know from that one person or group that only sort of made it big with said song.
The judges were also introduced to four new competitors. One of them is Donut, a singer whose costume is comprised of several of our favorite baked goods and treats. Who is Donut on The Masked Singer? Here's what we know so far.
