Masked singer thread 2

[Caaarrrl]

Sorry, couldn't think of a catchy title in the emergency of needing a new thread!

So much for my "The Swan is definitely Belinda Carisle" thinking in the first week😂 Like many others, I kept switching between Stacey Solomon and Sheridan Smith for the sausage, so I'll laugh if it turns out to be neither of them!

Sheridan Smith is definitely the sausage as the clues add up, 2 pints of larger and a packet of crisps in the vt and then her hair colour is law clue, Sheridan was in the stage show of Legally Blonde.

*lager

Thought Robin was great tonight.

I thought sausage was Sheridan and dragon H from Steps - but then dragon sang a Steps song and I thought that made it too obvious.

Do you think they’ve made it easier to guess this year?

Dragon sang an S Club song? Not Steps..

I think they are much harder this year than last year but feel last years’ appealed to a certain age group?! I got Jake Shears, Skin, Kelis and Nicola Roberts easily but think they are my era, 90s into 00s!

Help me here, what happened to the ones that were on last week? Viking and clock? Presume it's not the same people in different costumes? (I'm sure one of them was Lenny Henry and yet none tonight could have been him) Do they change every week?

I think they alternate until the numbers are lower

@Thunderpunt - in the early weeks there's too many singers for a single show so they show them alternate weeks until enough have been eliminated. Each singer keeps their individual costume. Apparently those taking part also have no idea whom the other contestants are!

Dd says Dragon is a drag act-Courtney Act? One of the clues was my name is a clue (DRAG on) and she says Dragon has the pride colours on his chest.
dh thought badger was the motorbike rider James Towseland I think that's how you say it as they keep showing motorbikes. It could be Jay Kay though.
I like sausage best and think it's Sheridan Smith.
Not sure who Robin is he keeps doing boxing moves. Something tells me it could be Matt Smith as he was a footballer.

Anyone else think Badger is Tim Minchin?

Did anyone think Badger saying he wears green for work could be a clue for Andy Serkis as in wearing green to play Gollum?

Dragon did use the term 'drag on' in the first week.

I think that Robin is Olly Murs.

My guesses are:
Sausage - Stacey Solomon
Robin - Aston Merrygold - 100% sure of this
Dragon - Courtney Act
Badger - Jay Kay or if not I thought maybe Charley Boorman

@TildaTurnip @Winniewonka thanks for the explanation- I'm hooked!

I wondered if Robin might be one of the Diversity boys, Ashley Banjo maybe

Robin - has to be Aston merrygold, I kept saying to dp he's built and moves like him, then the clues of starting as impressions and he did rockin robin on stars in their eyes, also played football for England youth or something

Sausage - defo Sheridan smith, the clues point to it and you can hear it clear as day in her singing voice!

Badger - I went a bit left field and wondered about AJ Prichard? He was on iacgmooh and 'strictly speaking' he's a dancer? not sure how the other clues fit though, other thoughts I had were high up there is jay kay, Daniel bendingfield and Brian cox

Dragon - I have a lot of names for but there was a definite 'dragons den' clue and an hour glass with '1 hour' on, not sure what they were referencing? My gut is telling me Sandy tokvik or sue Perkins currently

The only ones I'm actually confident on is sausage and robin

But didn't badger say that he was used to not being recognised on the street or something? So Andy Serkis makes sense. Carl Fogarty too (ie wearing a helmet), but surely that rules out most of the other guesses on this thread.

Dragon is (fingers crossed) 100% Courtney Act 💝

@SpanishFly I think badger is most likely Jay Kay. The only thing is it doesn't seem like the sort of thing he'd do, not that I know him or anything of course!

Bush Baby from last week is John Thompson I'm 99% sure.

But isn't Jay Kay recognisable? Or is again referring to wearing helmets etc?

Bush Baby was adorable 😍

@Mucholoco

Anyone else think Badger is Tim Minchin?

Tim Minchin has a really distinctive voice and I don’t think he’d be able to hide it that well. Plus I really don’t think Badger is a singer.

Did anyone notice the mini blackboard advertising the pub quiz in Sausage’s VT? It said ‘pub quiz 7.43pm’ - must be a clue?
I thought it was a reference to that affair drama that Sheridan Smith did with David Morrisey but just googled to check and it was called ‘The 7.39’ ... 😂 so not that then.
It must mean something surely?!
