I just watch the clips on YouTube. They strip out the annoying stuff you’re all describing and just show 90 seconds of people in weird costumes singing.
It doesn’t seem that confusing to me. Whether the studio audience votes for the best singer, or who they think is the worst, so far every time it has ended up with the worst singer being the one revealed. The audience at home has nothing to do with who is revealed so the actual details of the voting process don’t really matter.
Thank you, thank you.
I want to be impressed with myself too because I called last week’s celeb too…but I just got the easiest ones.
I’m slowly being convinced by Mrs. Cups that monster is T-Pain.
I just turned it on, and Lion is rockin it. But seriously, not one mention here of whatever the heck Nick Cannon is wearing on his head?!? Why has he got my Grandmother’s morning hat on?
BTW this clip came by on social media this week, and I have to say, I’m jealous. Our show is just nothing like what’s going on over there!
I guessed this one just a few measures into the song. Answer in spoiler below for those living in a cave.
It’s Ryan Reynolds
Shhh…we’re supposed to only talk about this trainwreck of a show and not acknowledge the far, far, far superior original! 
Eleven.
My husband and I were confused as well. The very next morning after the show we saw an old lady in the grocery store parking lot…“She’s got that guy’s hat!”
After the first ep, I was going to make a “what’s going on with his hair?” comment but was afraid people would take it as a race thing (it’s not). Maybe that’s going to be his gimmick for the show; different hair stylings and accoutrements.
I assumed that at first it was because of the mask he was wearing at the very start – to protect his 'do (and/or his head) – but I didn’t understand why it was still on after the first commercial break. Maybe his 'do is really, really hard to do?
I keep hoping she will have to leave because she has measles.
Eyebrows of Doom - Yeah I get that…kinda…but again, if it’s just a popularity contest and the breathless “who is it?” has no real bearing, why have it at all? And for that matter, why have eliminations at all, especially since there’s no home vote so Cannon can’t even chest-beat about vote totals? It’d make a lot more sense to have everyone on until the end, have everyone do the same number of songs, get all the clues out there, and then we can have suspense to the end and see who got the most right.
As it is, this show has the same problem as nearly every reality program I’ve watched: I don’t give a damn who wins. The contestants on Hell’s Kitchen are largely interchangable slobs, any of which would be lucky to last three months in the dream job that awaits them. The winner of The Voice is completely engulfed in the judge’s shadow from day one and will be a widely ridiculed flash in the pan at best. The Titan Games’ athletes are so much alike and compete for so short a time that I can’t even develop rooting interests. The Amazing Race is a complete crapshoot, with bunchups reigning supreme and skill and knowledge playing a very small part in who crosses the finish line first. Whoever wins The Masked Singer will…go back to what (s)he’s been doing before, the same as all the other contestants. What is even the point?
Absolutely no excuse to not completely embrace the goofiness, and it has to worship at the altar of anudda-wun-bi-da-dus.
As the show is going on right now, and before it’s done, I want to put down all my guesses so I can refer to them later without going to multiple pages
Peacock – Donny Osmond
*Hippo – Never had a guess (tuned in late)
Monster – T-Pain (so says mrs. Cups)
Unicorn – Tori Spelling but only because that’s what everyone else says
Deer - Terry Bradshaw
Lion – Can’t remember right now
Rabbit – Joey Fatone
Alien – Best we got is LaToya Jackson
Raven – Ricki Lake
*Pineapple – Tommy Chong.
Poodle – No Idea
Bee – Gladys Knight
Dern, I was sure that poodle was Kathy Griffin! I’m gratified to see that she was an actual celebrity that even I have heard of (Margaret Cho). This show’s doing better on that front than Dancing With the Stars!
Good Call!
Poodle is one of two that I honestly have no idea about. And if the internet is to be believed with Tori Spelling then that is the other one that I never would have gotten in a million years.
The best way to improve this show is to give fewer clues. They definitely need to not give the heights because that makes it too easy. I think the rest have pretty much been ID’d by the internet. Is there anybody left who doesn’t know that the Bee is Gladys Knight after the Georgia clue?
FTR, I agree with Sir T-Cups’ list. Lion is Rumer Willis. Alien is definitely LaToya. And I should have trusted my first instinct about poodle since I posted here that I initially had her right. I just didn’t know that she could sing.
Pshhhhhh he would say that…
Just getting around to streaming it, and already I have to pause it to ask: What the actual F*** does Nick HAve on his HEAD?!?
Really? When your wife gave you that she meant to wear it while you put your stage make-up on. She didn’t mean you should wear that thing in PUBLIC! Holy jebus with toast!!
So what happens if the judges do guess who it is? They seem reluctant to speak up once they are really sure. Jenny McCarthy was absolutely certain she was right but turned out to be dead wrong. Think she’ll learn from that? Yeah, no, probably not. . .
Here’s my update [old guesses]:
Peacock – Shaun Cassidy
Monster – Philly rapper Meek Mills
Unicorn – Tori Amos
Lion – Rumor Willis [black woman, Hollywood child - 5’6” so it can’t be EJ Johnson as I originally thought.]
Rabbit – Lance Bass Lance Bass & Joey Fatone singing I want it that way - Backstreet boys / April 14,2016 #DirtyPopAtSea - YouTube [Psychobunny, is that you ?!? LOL! Seriously, what is that twitching about?!? Creepy.]
Alien – Nicole Richie? [I have a lot of sisters = Moulin Rouge. Li’l Kim]
Raven – I’m sold on the Ricki Lake guess. [Wynonna Judd.]
Bee – Queen Latifa? [Gladys Night]
*Hippo – Antonio Brown
*Pineapple – Tommy Chong. I had no clue until the panel said Cheech. Then I recognized Chong.
*Deer - [6’3” boxer or wrestler or defensive lineman. Denver Broncos?]
*Poodle – Margaret Cho. So what was the “I have come for your Honors” about? [Hilton Honors is their hotel loyalty points program. Paris Hilton.]
SAying this now in the off chance she’s eliminated…LaToya as the alien absolutely confirmed.
Her prop was a police badge from when she was on “Armed and Famous” instantly recognized by me as it was filmed in Muncie, IN the home to MY Ball State Cardinals.
