Masked Singer 2022 Thread 3. The masks are coming off and we are Keane to know if we May be right.?

[Piggywaspushed]

Thread Three here to discuss the red herrings, daft clues, and to swear blind we recognise the voices/kneecaps/hands...

Thanks for this thread, I missed the others. I have a few theories!

@Claymorekick

But he said something like he made his money by taking his top off - sounds to me like someone whose career was about that rather than one small aspect if it involved having his chest out (iyswim). But I do think it is Aled Jones - just don't get some of the clues. Wtf has the triangle/cone shape got to do with him? If he was dressed as a snowman, I would understand

This has to be him. The gold plated childhood and all. That voice....

Yippeeee

The great thing about it for the people who like to go over the clues and Google (like me) is you can find something that connects a certain thing to the person you think you are sure it is

It's just like a modern-day Nostradamus - or Doris Stokes addressing a crowd of 10,000 and declaring that the spirits are telling her there's somebody called Sarah in the audience

I think the panel are well drilled in expecting second-tier stars and notice how effusive they are at absolutely everything, like the themes each week, the fake enthusiasm is strong!

I'd love to see how Joel and the panel styled it out if they had an absolute 100% non-celebrity in there.

"Now, we're going to find out who Fridge-Freezer is.... Take it off! Take it off! Who are you?!.... and it's.... Trevor Perkins, the milkman from Lower Inglethorpe, North East Lincolnshire!!!!"

"YES!!! The clues were there all along - dressed as a fridge, described as a cool customer, sang 'My Milkshake Brings All The Boys To The Yard', claimed to be the cream of the crop, said he lived in a semi and that it took a lot of bottle to go on this show - so obvious all the way!!!"

I suppose the ultimate insult would be the panel and the entire audience shouting "Who are you?! Who are you?!" for ten minutes after they've removed the mask and been introduced

Aled has sung all of the great classic numbers - he must have done a version of O Sole Mio at one point, known to us plebs as 'The Cornetto Song'; hence the cone?!?!

Or.... his nose is shaped kind of like a cone (as is everybody's nose)....???!

Maybe it's Peter Auty. He actually sang Walking In The Air in The Snowman. I feel sorry for him.

Disclaimer : I don't remotely think it is Peter Auty.

Doris Stokes addressing a crowd of 10,000 and declaring that the spirits are telling her there's somebody called Sarah in the audience

LOLing at this! Isn't it just. "She's giving me an H...an M and...Is it an S? And she's moooving! Moooving! ' I want to move on up'', she's telling me!"

Not sure if someone has already mentioned this. For Doughnut there was a reference to football sweets - that's Everton, the toffees. So not sure on Michael Owen now unless that's to throw us off?

With all of these tenuous-to-breaking-point and downright impossible clues ("Here are three clues - except that two of them aren't clues"), I want TMS to come full circle and bring on Dusty Bin - singing Manfred Mann's 'The Ragamuffin Man' (but subtly altered to 'The Bad McGuffin Man') and eventually being unmasked to the angry, braying crowd as the now-110yo person who wrote the original clues on 321 and publicly forced to explain themselves and justify their entire career

I'm aware that a lot of younger people here will have just read that and not have the faintest idea what I'm going on about

@Claymorekick

Moment of inspiration about the reference of the cone shape being close to his heart...it could be referring to an ice cream cone (rather than a triangle or normal cone) so ice, winter, The Snowman

That sounds like one of Rita Ora's guesses!

Am I the only one who thinks Doughnuts is David James? Everyone has leapt on Michael Owen because of the clues suggesting it’s a former Liverpool and England player, but James would fit that bill too - plus, there was a clue about a saviour/saving, which makes me think goalkeeper.

Also, Doughnuts looks tall, and Michael Owen is a teeny tiny person.

@ritalinda

I think the panel are well drilled in expecting second-tier stars and notice how effusive they are at absolutely everything, like the themes each week, the fake enthusiasm is strong! So I think they'll be ok. At least Michelle Williams is part of a genuinely famous band. If Hayley Tamaddon comes out people will really be confused.

I do love it when Rita desperately tried to hide that she’s none the wiser when they take their masks off

David James could not do that accent in a month of Sundays...

I’m still in the no camp for Aled, I’m giving up my beloved guess of Jason Donovan and laying down my final card for…

Reggie Yates.

That’s it, locked in!

I do love it when Rita desperately tried to hide that she’s none the wiser when they take their masks off grin

Skin as Duck in S1 being a prime example! "Oh my goddd..." said Rita rather flatly, as she looked around her with a ' Does anyone else not know who she is??' expression.

Oh no don’t give up on the Jason Donovan guess plseeeee

😂 I had to, the 4 Ewes broke me!

😂😂😂😂😂

The panel know. That bit
Is scripted

How else would they explain thenLenny Henry situation?

Lenny Henry situation?

I did think it was scripted on Saturday with Jonathon saying he would eat the bagpipes if he was wrong - with Davina so sure she was correct. All felt a bit false!

Do you mean the fact that jo one guessed him despite it being ruddy obvious?

I think they're told not to guess it straight away if they think they know. It does seem like sometimes they will guess literally anyone but the person if it's obvious. I don't think they know every one but I think they're given parameters for sure

Sophie Ellis Bextor (Alien last year) said that her name came up straight away among the panel's initial guesses and that this was edited out. In that case you'd think they could've cut out Jonathan's guess in S1 that Flower was Natalie Cole...who had died several years previously. Anyway, I do suspect the producers hint at them who to say. Jonathan makes all these stupid guesses and then suddenly comes out with a sensible one like Anne-Marie?!

I had thought that the cone shape could be like a church spire if it was Aled?

I don't understand the top off thing though.

I will consider tomorrow's unmasking a wasted opportunity if Doughnuts goes, since we're pretty much set on him. He can go whenever the double elimination is. I'll accept Traffic Cone going if he explains this bleedin' top off clue. Annoying, not every single clue does get explained.
