The masked singer/dancer is awful

Yes I know I can turn over.

But it's just such OTT American crap.

All the chanting of "get it off" and standing and copying the dancing and all the really over the top judge has-beens.

It's painful, cringeworthy, bottom of the barrel shite.

Thank you for listening. I'm off to watch netflix.

I'm getting very cross Grin

But if I were paid £10,000 to gurn and shriek at this... I would

It's mindless 'entertainment ' which we all could do with after this year. I watch it with my 4 teenagers who enjoy tearing it to shreds,( but they still watch it!) And we enjoy working out the clues and insanely shouting 'get it off.'........ helped by a few strong G&Ts 😁

Singer I like, don't see the point of dancer it really is a guess as you can't really tell anything from the dancing.

Pugdogmom · 05/06/2021 22:49

I personally couldn't give a shiney shite whether people like it or not. If you don't, nobody is making you watch it.🤷‍♀️
It's finished now, so as you were.

Tonight’s show was great. 🍷

Blowingagale · 05/06/2021 23:28

Don’t like it myself but don’t see any harm in it either. I’d probably have liked when was a bit younger, I used to watch Mr Blobby when I was a child and I can just imagine how a certain section of the public would have said it was crap/should not be on. Also would have complained about how much celebrities were paid (on bbc and commercial tv).

As OP says at least now there are more choices- not online for us though as our internet speed is rubbish.

Sparklingbrook · 06/06/2021 07:15

Well we’ve had singer and dancer. What next? Grin

drpet49 · 06/06/2021 07:19

It is so cringey.

HunterAngel · 06/06/2021 08:03

It’s fun for a while, trying to work out the clues and guess the singers identity (haven’t watched the dancer version).

Then I realised I don’t care enough about celebrity lives to actually understand any of the clues. Off to Netflix!

Sparklingbrook · 06/06/2021 08:08

I quite liked that it was on every night for a week then it’s all done. For everyone talking for sure.

Yes, me too. Now it's finished I wonder what people will be frothing about having no choice but to watch next? Grin

Six year old ds cried when it was over. He was glued to it. Dancing chickens and squirrels and a dancing car wash Grin

CoffeeWithCheese · 06/06/2021 09:23

It's wonderful trash to watch that is family oriented rather than the saturation kids' TV mine still tend to watch a lot of the time.

Even without the guessing/celebrity/panel bit those dancing sponges were brilliant. Grin And Bonnie Langford was amazing. Just a really fun watch. Where else can you see a giant dancing Knickerbocker Glory?

It’s high culture compared to the rest of ITV’s output.

But it's just such OTT American crap.

As someone who grew up in a country with American cable TV, I assure you this this shit is not 'American'. I've now lived in the UK for over a decade and still find most of the entertainment shows insufferable, it's like they're making shows to appeal to children, yet so many adults seem to find it entertaining

Runkle · 06/06/2021 10:03

YABU it's 'take it off' not 'get it off Grin
