I voted for Bonnie because personally I am not a fan of operatic music. I think she won because she was consistent throughout the season and her voice would have been appealing to a wider group of people.

After all this timeā¦ I can finally stop keeping secrets about what Iāve been up too for the last couple of months.
I AM THE BUSHRANGER!
Being a part of @themaskedsingerau has been the most memorable and special experience for me on so many levels. The fact that I got to challenge myself for every performance, with the diverse choices of songs, the choreography and managing all of this while restricted behind the incredible costume!
So lucky to have worked with such an epic bunch of people, who made everything so enjoyable and safeā¦ we got to make a positive, friendly, fun show during this time to lighten up all of our lives.
A special mention to @garypintomusic for being by my side the entire time and guiding me vocally and emotionallyā¦ You are the best and my rock!
Of course the four beautiful panelists and lovely @osher_gunsberg - thank you for the hilarious laughs, I was with you guys the whole way
@danniiminogue @dhughesy @jackieo_official @urzilacarlson
To my sister @amberdwilkinson YOU were the keeper of all my secrets and the one who kept me sane the entire timeā¦ WE DID IT & I love YOU!
To the rest of my friends and family - Iām so sorry for lying to you guys over and over again ha ha! I am a shocking liar, you guys really tested my acting skills haha!
FINALLY! Thank you for everybodyās support.
The masked singer, the producers and @channel10au for this epic opportunity.
BUSHY WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART!
@xtccostume I wish I got to bring the costume home with me, for future Bushranger antics!
Your work is Devine. Thank you for creating your magic with all the costumes!
Well produced finale and 10 would be thrilled with the ratings.
Season 3 better have more non-singers though! There was not a single surprise in the whole cast after the reveals of Mark Philippoussis and Michael Bevan. People need to understand this would be a much better show with non-singing celebs that weāve never heard before!

Still wondering who the Hollywood star and Emmy winners are?
Sophie Monk was in the movies including Click & Date Movie and TV series Entourage.

I still canāt believe how well they did the finale last night. It makes you wonder if this can be done in years to come - especially when it comes to getting some celebrities to partake in the show and not having to be in Melbourne or Sydney.

Hereās the USA promo
Has Ten actually confimed that they expressing to air the upcoming season 4 of Maskedn Singer U.S?
According to that promo above it is the fourth season. Gremlin, Snow Owl etc. are all masks for the upcoming fourth season.
Yeah, theyāll milk it for all itās worth.
You wouldnāt have even noticed that Osher wasnāt in the studio if they didnāt make a point of it. It was done very well. I did laugh a bit at Ursila, the camera seemed very close to her and clearly the video quality and lighting in her hotel wasnāt as great.

Yeah Ursilaās wasnāt fantastic but the rest was incredibly done. Even the background of Jackie. You really didnāt notice. I am still stunned at how well it was done.

10 confirmed this morning The Masked Singer US season 4 would debut on Wednesday, September 30, six days after America due to time difference. Beware of online spoilers.

In a 7:30pm timeslot? Will be interesting to see how it goes after just finishing the local version.

I cant see why Ten cant air on Thursdays at 7:30pm starting on 24 September to avoid spoilers

Probably because it would be a few hours after screening in America so they wouldnāt be able to get their act together to pick up from the satellite and screen it on 10. They have struggled doing it in the past and have given up.
Entertainment Tonight was done that way for a while but they started having trouble with delivery and preparing to screen it, so started missing episodes and they gave up. Now it screens a day later.

Thereās also the possibility of the show being pre-empted or not airing one week in the US.
This has happened with a few shows on Foxtel too that used to air same day and now itās next day or a week later. I was wondering if rights are cheaper if there is a bit of a delay but it seems to be more common for shows that have multiple episodes a week so I think you could be right. Days of Our Lives is an example that used to be fast tracked the same day as the US - then a few months ago they moved it to be a week behind the US and they gave no real explanation for it.
