The Masked Singer: Why The Pickle Cussed Out the Judges After Unmasking

This contestant has a brine to pick with The Masked Singer judges.
After all, The Pickle was anything but cool as a cucumber during the unmasking on the Oct. 11 episode of the Fox singing competition, hilariously calling out Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger—as well as host Nick Cannon and guest Lance Bass—for sending him packing in an expletive-filled rant.
In what seemed to be an amuse bouche to how the evening would unfold, 2000s Night began with Pickle admitting in his clue package that he's "got a salty side."
"I've butted heads with NBA players, Real Housewives, award-winning directors, movie stars, bloggers, even entire online publications," the gerkin shared, adding he's "done so many things for so many years and people always associate me with my famous friends."
And though Pickle brought some BDE—big dill energy—to the stage with a rendition of Weezer's "Beverly Hills," he landed in the bottom two with fellow foodie contestant S'more. The duo ended up dishing it out in a tasty Smackdown performance of Fall Out Boy's "Sugar, We're Going Down," though Pickle's take on the pop-punk classic ended on a sour note.
After the panelists locked in their guesses for Pickle as Charlie Sheen, Howard Stern, Conan O'Brien or Joel McHale, they were all proven wrong when comedian and self-proclaimed "king of trash talk" Michael Rapaport took off his delicious disguise.
"I should've known that," lamented Jenny, whose husband Donnie Wahlberg costarred with Michael in the 2002 film Triggermen, prompting the actor joke that he was "calling Donnie tonight" to complain.
And it was clear that Michael was feeling a bit salty over his loss. "Ken, you fake ass doctor," he shouted in his signature raspy voice. "Robin Thicke, I sang about Beverly Hills, you [bleep], where you grew up."
"I didn't just do great, I did fantastic!" Michael continued. "Shame on everybody here, including you, Nick Cannon!"
As Nick—who described Michael "a personal friend of mine"—broke down in laughter, the War at Home alum quipped, "Don't suck up to me now, you had your chance!"

"I wanted to be on your show," she told host Nick Cannon during the episode, "because it seemed so fun, and it has been so fun. And I get to sing, so its the best of both worlds."
The Rubber Ducky was revealed as Black-ish actor Anthony Anderson on the Sept. 27 episode.
The Diver was exposed as Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval on Oct. 4.
Michael Rapaport was unmasked as the Pickle on the Oct. 11 episode.
