The Masked Singer season 13 released episode 3, titled Rat Pack Night, on February 26, 2025.

Despite a close battle, the judges decided to send Coral to the next round of the competition, eliminating Ant. As their final predictions for Ant, panelist Rita Ora said Charli xcx, Ken Jeong picked Mel B, Robin Thicke said Aubrey O'Day, whereas Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg said Evan Rachel Wood.

"I was actually part of a rat pack myself" — The Masked Singer star Ant hints she was part of a group
The latest segment of The Masked Singer season 13 saw Ant come with a new package of clues and hints to help the panelists analyze her identity. She opened by expressing how thrilled she was to have a "Rat Pack tribute night" because it reminded her of the group she used to be a part of.
"I was actually part of a rat pack myself, an ant colony you could say. When we first got together, it was the perfect fit — the sisters I never had growing up," she said.
It was a direct reference to the musical band, Danity Kane, which Aubrey was a part of. The Masked Singer contestant added the group "came out of the gate swinging, sharing everything together," from success and fame to the "bad days", the long hours, criticisms, and other difficulties.
However, even then, they survived together and managed to achieve success by topping musical charts across the globe. Ant claimed it was "an ant fever." The Masked Singer contestant thanked her group members, crediting them for making her who she was. Ant dedicated her song to her teammates, saying she loved and cared for them.
"You are resilient women who are capable of anything!" she added.
Ant presented a rendition of Fever by Peggy Lee, impressing the panelists. Her clue on stage was a "moon man." Ant explained she did not live where the "moon man" lived, but wherever he landed was where she got "a huge start" in her career. Ant was ultimately eliminated by the panelists and unmasked to be Aubrey O'Day, as Robin had correctly predicted.
The Masked Singer airs every Wednesday at 8 pm ET exclusively on Fox.
