The Masked Singer: Who Is Frog? (Hint: He’s This CSI Actor)

We’re getting closer to finding out the winner of  The Masked Singer season 3 and it looks like Frog is a strong contender to win that golden mask. While most people know, or think they know, who frog is, how do the clues line up to prove it’s this CSI: Cyber star?

We are certain that Bow Wow is Frog and there have been plenty of clues all season to prove it. This week’s clues included a flag of Japan and there is a Japanese band called Bow Wow. There was also an ice cube tray which could be a cheeky nod to his role in the Ice Cube movie The Lottery. The lightning bolts on gym shoes shown fit with clues we’ve seen all season pointing out his role in his hit basketball movie Like Mike. His character was struck by lightning in the show. There was a super clue another week of a knight for the team in the movie called the Knights. We’ve also previously seen a basketball, another lightning bolt, and even an actual mic with a Facebook like symbol on it. The like mic and all the other clues clearly represent Like Mike.

While the panelists have named people he’s worked with, they have been unable to narrow in on the famous rapper, born Shad Moss. Another clue that narrows the field was that every member of group B had been interviewed by Oprah. Bow Wow was younger then but he was on The Oprah Winfrey Show. There have also been many references to his start in the industry. References to how young he was and even who he worked with. His first label was shared by “Jump” singers Kris Kross. He performed the song one week. In his very first performance clue package, Frog said he swam with the big frogs from jump as a tadpole.

The previous clues for group B included some given by a woman said to be instrumental to his success. They heavily referenced his young start. He was in Entourage and that was referenced when he spoke of his entourage. Visual clues have referenced other of his acting roles like CSI: Cyber, which was represented by a typewriter with the letters C, S, and I marked. There were toy army men for his role in the movie Allegiance as well. Other visual clues have been used to reference Bow Wow’s songs and albums. A bag of leftovers, hush puppies to be specific, for his album Doggy Bag. Price of Fame was noted by a fame plaque with the price tag $19 on it. The number 19 also happens to be the age he was when that album was made. He mentioned being ready to sing his face off at one point, this points to yet another of his albums Face Off. This album was made with Omarion who has been guessed as Frog by some panelists.

These and other clues were included in the first and second clue packages. Other clues like $106 dollars to represent his role as a host on BET’s 106 & Park. Or a flyer from the 1996 Olympics which were held in Atlanta where he lives. He has a song with guest panelist former winner T-Pain that features a line that says “And they get mad when you win ’cause that’s when they lose.” Frog gave the golden mask holder a bracelet with the words “all we do is win.” I’m not sure how there is anyone who doesn’t know Frog is Bow Wow yet. But if there is, this week we’ll surely get even more clues to prove it.

The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8pm EST on Fox.
