It was “Barbie Night” on “The Masked Singer” as contestants danced — and sang — the night away.

Celebrating the 65th anniversary of Barbie, the Oct. 23 episode was filled with Group B once again taking over the stage and performing to Barbie-themed and inspired songs.

But before the contestants advanced to the next round, panelist Ken Keong went full Ken, performing an epic and hilarious rendition of “I’m Just Ken.” Remaining panelists Robin Thicke, Rita Ora and Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg also channeled their best Barbie and Ken.

See how Bluebell, Chess Piece, Goo and Wasp fared this week.

What did each contestant perform?

Bluebell impressed the panelists with “Dance the Night” by Dua Lipa, while Goo stunned them with a soulful rendition of “Miss Independent” by Ne-Yo.

Chess Piece got the crowd pumped with “I’m Every Woman” by Chaka Khan and Wasp closed the night with a mesmerizing performance of “Skyscraper” by Demi Lovato that made the panelists tear up.

Who went home this week?

After a tough decision, one contestant had to be unmasked and it was the Chess Piece. Before viewers found out who it was, the panelists gave their final guesses.

McCarthy-Wahlberg believed it was Serena Williams, Jeong guessed it was Issa Rae, while Ora felt it was Tyra Banks and Thicke said it was ballet dancer Misty Copeland.

They were all incorrect because it was Laverne Cox.

After being unmasked Cox spoke about the trauma and fear she felt around singing and hoped “The Masked Singer” helped her conquer that.

“What was so much fun about tonight is I got to sing and dance like I did when I was a little kid,” she said about her experience on “The Masked Singer.” “And it didn’t have to be right, it didn’t have to be perfect. I just had fun, and hopefully this is the beginning of me healing even more of that trauma.”

Jeong called Cox a “role model, a pioneer and an inspiration.”

Cox also spoke about being proud to represent and have her own Barbie as an openly-trans Black woman, “I’m so incredibly blessed.”

Next week, the final three Group B contestants will once again go head-to-head and try to avoid the double elimination.
