The Masked Singer

I can’t see this doing that well if 10 are airing this 6 days late. If they are airing it that late they should have just aired on Sundays or Tuesdays.

Probably about as well as America’s Got Talent and Britain’s’ Got Talent that are weeks old on Seven.

The Masked Singer probably works a little differently though as part of the appeal is the surprise of celebrities.

Guarantee we will know maybe 2 or 3 of them from old shows but the rest will be like who?

Maybe they will play episode 2 the next day and then settle in to Thursday’s from there? This would give the Bach franchise a small break.

So similar to the Australian version?

Who didn’t you know from the last Australian season? IMO they were all fairly well known. The only ones I didn’t know and had to Google were the Wiggle and the winner.

More of a tongue and cheek comment because people always complain about not knowing a celebrity. Fact is some are going to know a celebrity some are not, if you know everyone on the show then the producers aren’t doing a great job at selecting a wide range of stars to suit different demographics.

They were all well known unless you’ve been living under a rock.

This post from 10 play says it’s coming Thursday October 1st, is that just for catch-up? Strange.

Or don’t have kids. You could be forgiven for knowing the red wiggle. Same goes for if your not a sports fan. All are known within their field but it’s rare that everyone is going to know all celebrities. Not many people would be a big fan of cricket in the 90s and a fan of the wiggles now.

True. If I saw a photo of Michael Bevan, I wouldn’t be able to name him but I do recognise his name. If I saw a photo of the Red Wiggle, I would recognise him as such but it’s only now that I know he is Simon Pryce.

With those American ones, I probably wouldn’t recognise most of them from a photo and don’t know what half of them have done in the past.

It will happen due to The Bachelorette season 6 premiering on October 7, leaving The Masked Singer USA on Thursday nights.

And as TVCynic posted in Ten Network schedules thread, there will be a special sneak peek on 10 this Friday (September 25) at 9.30pm.

Which means the 2nd episode will air the same day as the US.

Did anyone else catch the Masked Singer USA special late last night? They have 16 masks! (17 if you count the two owls) so they must eliminate 2 each ep?. Some of the costumes are wild!

Are you spruiking for Ten?

No, I actually fell asleep early and woke up to it and thought I was having a weird fever dream.

The clues were so vague and they all sounded the same so it might be fun trying to guess them as opposed to the Aussies we know so well.

Have you been tested for coronavirus? :mask:
