February 23, 2022 News and Notes

• The only reason I'm not more upset about this is because I do believe the rules have it that if one of the Masked Singer judges correctly identifies the celebrity, he or she is immediately eliminated.
• But COME ON...  It took half a line of ABBA's "Fernando" to know the Night Owl was Debbie!!!  And Jenny McCarthy correctly identified her.  Ken Jeong almost joined her, but took a hard wrong left after triple-threat of movies, TV, and Broadway to Sarah Jessica Parker... 
• There is a "Medusa" in the competition who has won the first two weeks running.  That person has also defeated Dick van Dyke, Sara Evans, and Howie Mandel.  Early picks from clues including a picture of Buckingham Palace appear to point to Fergie of "The Black Eyed Peas", although there is another popular guess.  She apparently also appeared at the Super Bowl.
• van Dyke and Evans were in Week 1, Debbie and Howie in Week 2.  Three celebs start a week, one is eliminated before the other two shoot it out.  Winner stays masked, losers unmask.
• Debbie's social media indicates she was a last-minute replacement for another celeb.
• The Aaron Rodgers "darkness retreat" is over -- we'll see if COVIDIOT-12 keeps his word.
