s wild and unpredictable season is nearing its grand finale, as Wednesday determined which contestant would be taking the last spot in the final three.The Queen Cobras, Space Bunny and the Frog Prince all took the stage for the last showdown of Round 3, and each sang their hearts out for the chance at making it all the way to the end of the line.However, only one could claim the spot — meaning fans were in for a double elimination! Which also meant finally learning who some of the costumed crooners really are!After all three of the elaborately crafted characters sang their heart out, it came time for the three to go back-to-back singing alternating verses of Katy Perry's hit «Roar» — and all three slayed their performances, making the audience vote particularly difficult.However, two (costume) heads had to roll, so the first singer to get the proverbial axe was the Space Bunny!Before unmasking, the panel of celebrity detectives -- including Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger — made their final guesses. While Jeong's guess of Owen Wilson was way off, McCarthy was closer when she suggested Sean Kingston.

Robin Thicke thought it was another 90s R&B group, SWV; and Ken Jeong went big with the more contemporary combo of Ariana Grande/Jessie J/Nicki Minaj.

Ken Jeong is really not holding back when it comes to his latest round of guesses on Wednesday's new episode of !In this exclusive sneak peek from the forthcoming episode, we see Ken piecing together all the clues after another performance from Queen Cobra — or should we say Queen Cobras, as they revealed in a surprise move last week, there are actually three costumed performers.Referring to some hints in the clue package that aired before their new performance, Ken surmises that the Queen Cobras might actually be three huge music megastars.«She said 'Bang!' [and] 'Wizard.' You know who's starring in the movie adaptation of? Ariana Grande,» Ken says, spelling out his deductive reasoning. «And three people sang 'Bang, Bang.' The Second person, Jessie J, also has a song called 'Price Tag!'» While it's clear his fellow panelists — Robin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger and Jenny McCarthy — and host Nick Cannon, aren't really sold, Ken soldiers on to deliver the final piece of the puzzle.«But we need the third person? OK! Last week there was a heart [clue], and the person who wrote and sang 'Buy a Heart' was Nicki Minaj!» concludes Ken, explaining that she, too, sang on the hit 2014 single.«Bang, bang! I win!» Ken declares, as he fired off imaginary finger guns and blew smoke from his finger barrels, all while Nicole rolls her eyes.While it's unlikely, this isn't the most outlandish guess Ken has made in recent weeks.
