The Masked Singer reveals Spaghetti & Meatballs as celeb chef on Billy Joel Night

Plus, the panel thinks new contestant Lizard is someone truly "iconic."

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Masked Singer, season 11, episode 3, "Billy Joel Night."

It was all things Piano Man on this week's edition of The Masked Singer.

That's right, the theme on Wednesday was Billy Joel Night, and while the legendary crooner didn't make an appearance, his music sure did — Robin Thicke began the evening with a performance of "My Life," and every contestant was tasked with singing one of Joel's other hits, which were also woven into the clue packages and onstage hint moments throughout the night.

Speaking of contestants, viewers were once again treated to a new group of masked celebrities. The final group of the season, Group C, consisted of Poodle Moth, Clock, Spaghetti & Meatballs, and Lizard.

The proceedings were pretty uneventful from there, at least compared to the wild way season 11 began. The adorable Poodle Moth (which Fox should really create some merch for, hint hint) kicked things off with "Just the Way You Are," which was followed by Clock singing "Piano Man," Spaghetti & Meatballs crooning "Only the Good Die Young," and Lizard performing "Uptown Girl."-

When it was all said and done, Spaghetti & Meatballs and Lizard were sent to the second smackdown of the season, where they had to battle it out with Joel's "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)."

They both fought valiantly, but Spaghetti & Meatballs was sent back to the kitchen. Interestingly, during Lizard's portion of the smackdown, all of the panelists suddenly acted like they knew who it was and teased it was someone "iconic." Guess we'll have to see if they're right about that.

As always, before Spaghetti & Meatballs could unmask from that giant pasta mustache of a head, the judges had to give their final guesses. Those included Stanley Tucci (Thicke's), Guy Fieri (Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg's), Gordon Ramsay (Rita Ora's), and Bobby Flay (Ken Jeong's).

In the end, the panel was close but not quite fully baked — the Spaghetti & Meatballs unmasked to reveal MasterChef star, TV personality, and acclaimed restaurateur Joe Bastianich. For those keeping track at home, this means so far the panel technically hasn't gotten anyone right (Kevin Hart doesn't count since he unmasked himself and no formal guesses were made), so season 11 is off to a rough start for The Masked Singer gang.
