The Masked Singerthrew it back to the 2000s on Wednesday.

Then Pickle returned to the stage.

“I’ve got a salty side,” Pickle said in his clue package, which also showed a baseball.

Pickle said he considers himself “outspoken” and admitted he’d gotten “into a few fights you might’ve heard about.”

“I’ve butted heads with NBA players,Real Housewives, award-winning directors, movie stars, bloggers, even entire online publications,” Pickle continued.

Pickle added that for him, “a public feud really is performance art that I’ve perfected, but I’m always open to reconciliation — I’ve even rekindled friendships with some of my former adversaries.”

“We’re bringing that BPE: Big Pickle Energy,” Pickle said afterwards.

*NSYNC’sLance Bassbrought out an additional clue for Pickle: a group of Pickles wearing wigs.

“I’ve done so many things for so many year and people always associate me with my famous friends,” Pickle explained.

PanelistsKen Jeong,Jenny McCarthy,Nicole ScherzingerandRobin Thickethought Pickle might beJoel McHale,Sean PennorCharlie Sheen.

Gazelle pranced onto stage next.

“Deer are really meaningful to me because they are a symbol of someone I loved and lost,” Gazelle said in their clue package. “It happened just a few weeks before my wedding. One of the most important people in the world to my husband and I passed away unexpectedly. We somehow carried on with the wedding, but it was all a blur.”

A mouse and a dog popped up in the clue package, too.

The Office’sKate Flannerydelivered an extra clue for Gazelle — a DVD titledGazelle’z Love Story. “The 2000s are a special time for me because it was when I had my film debut,” Gazelle said.

Hilary Duff,Mandy MooreandAshley Tisdalearose as possibilities for Gazelle.

The package additional featured hairspray, the 2005 Roasted Tour and sunglasses.

“If I didn’t have a fiancé, then I’d have the biggest crush on you right now,” said Scherzinger, 45.

Bass, 44, came out with another clue for S’more — a map of the S’more Bros 2000 Tour.

“2000s were a busy time for me,” S’more explained. “I was busy touring with my bros.”

The judges thought S’more might beJordan Knight,Rob ThomasorAshley Parker Angel.

Cow closed out 2000s night.

“That’s the decade it all started for me,” Cow said in their clue package that also included a gavel and a birthday cake. “My friends and I decided to pack up a bin and head to the Capitol Records building in Hollywood, determined to get a record deal. We pulled into the parking lot and started performing on top of the van, convinced we’d get singed. Instead, security kicked us off the property, but we kept coming back every single day. While we didn’t make it then, my picture hangs in the Capitol Records hall.”

The farm animal sangJustin Timberlake’s “Cry Me a River” and Thicke, 46, called it the “best performance of the night.”

Scherzinger told Cow they’re “going to be here all season.”

“The 2000s were really, really good to me,” Cow said. “So much in fact that I got to star in a musical.”

The panel suggested Cow could beTaye Diggs,Jason Derulo,NE-YOorMario.

HostNick Cannonasked the crowd to vote for their favorite performance of the night, and the two contestants who received the fewest amount of votes would compete in the Smackdown. That ended up being Pickle and S’more, meaning Cow and Gazelle moved on to the Group A Finals.

Pickle had to unmask and when he popped out from under the brine, actor and comedianMichael Rapaportappeared.
