Greg Mathis & Evan Ross Unmasked: ‘The Masked Singer’ Double Reveal Sets Stage for Semi-Finals

When two high-profile stars—Judge Greg Mathis and Evan Ross—are unmasked in the same episode, you know you’re hitting the home stretch. On March 18’s “Star Trek Night,” The Masked Singer delivered its first big double elimination of Season 14, sending both 14 Karat Carrot (Mathis) and Stingray (Ross) packing. It was a reveal that shifted the game—and set the tone heading into the semi-finals on March 25.

Who Were 14 Karat Carrot and Stingray?

14 Karat Carrot, with golden carrot legs and justice scales embroidered on the costume, turned out to be Judge Greg Mathis. The clues built up around his identity—scales of justice, a gavel, Motown echoes—finally gave him away, and he was revealed after performing Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Shining Star.” Only Robin Thicke nailed the guess, calling Mathis out just before the mask dropped.

Stingray was revealed right after, unveiled as Evan Ross, son of Diana Ross. While guesses had swirled about Stingray, the panel made one shared final guess that turned out to be spot on. Ross had stunned judges with a rendition of “Starboy” by The Weeknd, but could not avoid the bottom two vote fate. His identity ended up being one of the few that all panelists deduced correctly.

Season 14’s Razor-Thin Field Heading Into Semi-Finals

This Season 14 roster has been stacked: 18 masked contestants including those like Cat Witch, Crane, Galaxy Girl, High Voltage, Pangolin, and Pugcasso have delighted and baffled in equal measure. Altogether, they’ve combined for some staggering credentials—94 million records sold, 21 platinum singles, three Emmy wins, three Hall of Famers, three World Series championships, and over 54 million Instagram followers. The Masked Singer didn’t hold back on bringing the star power.

Because of the double elimination on Star Trek Night, the contestant pool shrank significantly. These exits follow earlier surprises—Queen Corgi even withdrew before the final vote. But now, with just five contestants left, the competition ramps up. The semi-finals air March 25, with a two-hour season finale set for April 1 to crown the winner.

Ratings & Cultural Stakes

Despite the multiple reveals and shifting stakes, The Masked Singer continues to draw solid numbers. Season 13 averaged roughly 2.84 million viewers and a 0.36 rating among adults 18-49. While specific ratings for the March 18 episode are not finalized, the season overall remains competitive in its key demo. Viewers are clearly invested, especially in mid-week entertainment that delivers both spectacle and emotional payoff.

Culturally, these unmaskings have ripple effects. The reveal of Greg Mathis as 14 Karat Carrot adds an unexpected layer: a seasoned TV judge getting judged, so to speak. Evan Ross’s exit—as a celebrity offspring with his own following—sparks conversations about identity, legacy, and musical chops under costume disguise. These elements make the semi-finals more than just a contest—they make it narrative drama.

What to Expect in the Final Stretch

• With five contestants left, every performance counts more than ever. There’s little room for error.
• Themes will likely continue to be bold (as Star Trek Night showed) and emotionally charged to push singers into new territory.
• Panelists may become more daring in their guesses; with histories, rumors, and clues piling up, it’s a guessing game with stakes.
• The two-hour finale promises to deliver in spectacle and surprises. The leak or cues suggest four finalists, but nothing against the show’s history of curveballs.

If nothing else, the double reveal of Mathis and Ross shows that The Masked Singer still knows how to shock—and how to drive into the final stretch with momentum.
