It took weeks of costumed competition, but we finally know everyone who will be facing off in The Masked Singer's Season 10 finale, with Donut beating out Candelabra and Anteater. And while fans may be upset to see the pair leave, at least one those two competitors was relieved to hear the results. Anteater was unmasked and revealed to be Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer/songwriter John Oates, who admitted to CinemaBlend that he felt a bit burnt out by the end of his run, so it wasn't quite as sad to exit as viewers might have ant-icipated.

00:00 It was a good run. I think they, I got to the point where I wasn't exactly disappointed
00:06 to get unmasked. Let's put it that way.
00:08 Why is that?
00:09 Well, because a number of reasons. One, it was a lot of trips back and forth from Nashville
00:14 to LA to do the show. And the last episode, we had this conflict because I had previously
00:22 been booked to play the Newport Folk Festival in Newport, Rhode Island on Sunday. And the
00:27 taping was early Monday morning in LA. So I had to play a show in Newport, Rhode Island,
00:33 drive to the Boston airport, take the red eye, get in in the middle of the night, get
00:38 up at the crack of dawn, go to the soundstage, put that crazy costume on and do all that
00:43 other stuff that goes along with it. So I was pretty burned out, to be honest with you,
00:47 on that last episode.
