Chrissie Swan on Nova Melbourne just mentioned that the finale took 16.5 hours to film.

That was a very long filming session considering the studio audience wasn’t there for the reveal of the identities of the final three masks. I’d say that half of the time was spent on setting up and dismantling of the elaborate sets for each mask’s final performance.

Thought that was odd too. But it appeared in the schedule graphic…

Please say new judges

So Chrissie Swan says “yes, yes, I believe so” when asked if The Masked Singer is returning this year. And 10 was contacted to comment, but hasn’t responded yet.

Doesn’t sound like a 100% return yet. But i do hope it returns later in the year. It’s a nice light-entertainment show. But hope Dave Hughes doesn’t return. He’s silly answers gimmick has been done to death now.

Would also not be disappointed if Dave didn’t return, someone new please and it might make the show more watchable.

I enjoyed the new additions to the panel last year and wouldn’t mind if they all returned. It’s always good to have someone new though to keep it fresh.

A lot of people don’t like Dave but the stupid/random guesses are there for a bit of a laugh. We still need someone like that but maybe just a little less on the stupid/far fetched guesses. There are plenty of comedians that they could consider in his place.

Why is Dave’s name in bold?

2503

The the interface doesn’t always interpret the rich text codes correctly ; corrected to all bold.

2504

Wouldn’t have mind if they’d replaced Dave, they probably wanted the continuity of the panel but he’s probably the weakest link of everyone… just makes it feel so daggy.

Replace everyone.

2506

No way. I really enjoyed last season’s panel and they made a lot of great guesses too. I would just replace Hughesy but I guess they want someone that gives stupid answers.
