Nick on The Masked Singer

One of my friends is convinced Mushroom is Jordan Fisher and I also am not quite sure who that is. I thought Aaron Tviet for a while, but I'm not totally sure anymore (and by that I mean it's probably not Aaron Tviet, but I don't have a better guess.)

I've gotten three or four of them right ever, besides Nick (and as I said, I second guessed myself like crazy). Joey Fatone took me weeks, but I figured it out the week before his elimination, Donny Osmond also took me until the week he was eliminated, I figured out Gronk right away, and JoJo Siwa. I've been yelling at the TV since the first week, "You've been guessing Backstreet Boys the whole show at people who are clearly not them! Are you avoiding guessing on purpose to make it less obvious?!"

I never liked the brackets, just because by the time you finally saw people from the first bracket again, I felt like I'd forgotten what they sounded like. That was the best part about the first season. Half and half, then they mixed it up every couple of weeks, so I felt like I remembered everyone. I think the terrible aspects of the bracket format were painfully exacerbated this season because of the World Series in the middle of it. Like in this format they absolutely should have introduced A Group them B Group then C Group before going back for second eliminations or done all A Group then all B Group then all C Group, but then B would have gotten split by the World Series and I would have been angry at the World Series for interrupting Nick when I was actually equally interested in it. There was no way to win there. They could milk this show for so long, I'm not sure why they decided to do faceoffs for the final six anyway. I would be perfectly happy watching it for another month and I think several other people would too. Truthfully, I'm surprised they aren't using it as a lead in for Masked Dancer just to ensure people watch it. Because I definitely watched Ken's other show because it was on right afterward, there was nothing else on TV, and I thought "why not?" And then I've kept watching it to figure out why these terrible singers would do this to themselves on national television... Also there's still nothing on TV.

I only started watching Masked Singer regularly last season so I missed out on the way they used to format the show. I found the way they did it this year, confusing because I did have trouble remembering who I thought was who from week to week. I’m not sure why they did the triple elimination thing either. Seems like with the lack of new programming they should have kept it going for as long as possible. It probably has to do with the judges schedules but if they changed them I’d be happy. I really dislike them all minus Robin. I spend most of my time wondering if Jenny and Nicole have any outfits that actually cover their boobs than I do watching the actual singers and I fast forward through Ken completely lol gotta love DVR technology.

Mersey said the Korean version of the show pretty much is a constant thing. It’s always only one person against another and the winner comes back the next week until they are defeated by someone else. She said if someone gets ten wins in a row they are finally revealed and then two new people go. It sounds more like the traditional game show we have here, like wheel of fortune etc... most likely it’s only a thirty minute show.

I am terrible at guessing who is who and like I’ve said in here several times, I almost never know who these people are when they are revealed so instead of chanting take it off, I say I hope I know you! I had no clue who Tori Kelly or Chloe Kim were lol I guess I’m very out of touch with pop culture these days

I've been obsessed from the beginning! That first episode when Donny Osmond belts out "This is the Greatest Show" in a peacock costume when no one really knew what to expect? I thought: YES! This is the greatest show!

They've had the brackets since the second season. I think a lot of celebrities turned them down the first season because they thought it would be a mess. I remember Wayne Brady saying that specifically.

I'm alright with Robin. I think they should replace one of them with Joel McHale permanently and it would be fun if the winner from last season was a full time panelist for the next one. Just mix it up a bit. I love probably 80% of Jenny's outfits and wonder if I could pull them off, haha. But you're right, they're all pretty boob-tastic!

I wonder if that's a hard schedule for the stars on the Korean version. Are they live? I haven't looked into it much. But I bet Nick could run a ten episode gauntlet.

I recognize 99% of the people once the masks are off, but I'm basically the Ken in my other chat. Just throwing out random guesses.

Rose:
Don't remind me about Bindi lol.

So I only know if it's someone I listen to a lot or someone I used to as a kid. Joey took me a few weeks. So did Bow Wow last season. Jesse McCartney I knew INSTANTLY last season as he's my guilty pleasure. Wayne Brady too cause I used to be obsessed with Whose Line lol.

Seahorse picked a bad time to go outside the wheelhouse. Nick did it when he had weaker competition still and I think showing off his range was a smart move as he's a fan fave now. Because no one's been that diverse right off. Seahorse I think got nervous and tried to one up him and instead showed her weaknesses. She had a great voice though. She should be in there with him and Sun and Mushroom should've gone home. Bad format.

Sun is definitely LeAnn Rimes, one of the few country singers I like. I'd be rooting for her if Nick wasn't on this season lol. Love that this week there's no elimination. No stress!

I mostly consider judge guesses and think, "Ooh that is a good guess." Like Paul Anka was one of those. "Canadian" was the best part of my week. I laughed so hard.

Oh Whose Line. Now that people are watching it on HBO Max again, I've gotten the Arctic Tern sent to me so many times. Almost as much as the Brooklyn 99 open.

I think I would have liked it more if they had a face off between the triple eliminations and kept one of them. It's more fun when they fight for it. And same, I would for sure be Team Sun without Nick but I am so biased, it's not even funny. I'm so glad for the lack of stress this week. Now all I have to worry about is what stupid pun I'm going to send the group chat. I'm leaning toward "Christmas Songs, ALRIGHT!" this week, but I just broke down and bought the "As Long As Yule Love Me" shirt because I have a problem... So maybe I'll borrow that pun.
