One thing new is costumes this season will feature clues sewn directly onto them. "Some costumes are a larger clue to who the people are based on the character itself. And then others have more specific objects," showrunner Rosie Seitchik previously told Entertainment Weekly. "It's really based on the design, whether the design necessitates putting objects and props within them."

Last season saw Goldfish declared the winner and revealed to be High School Musical actress Vanessa Hudgens. Which stars are under the masks this season?

Although fans might be, the Dawson's Creek theme song vocalist isn't upset about not progressing further. "I don't need to win awards and things," Cole told EW. "I'm doing this for other reasons. I love music. It was a fun experience. It's all good fun. I was always kind of practicing my Buddhist non-attachment to it, just enjoying it, even though I enjoyed having an alter ego, and the Ship was a beautiful alter ego, a beautiful costume."
