The Masked Dancer

[cantthinkofabetterusername]

Not seen another thread on this, I'm so glad there's something to watch in Saturday night again. I prefer the masked singer but like this too.
Anyone joining in trying to guess the celebs?

Desperate Housewives was on so long ago, I watched it when I was married.

Brilliant

How can 'onomatopoeia' costume? It's a sound.

Ooo didn't know this was back. Fab. Ds2 and I love it/ masked singer.

Just started a Voice thread!! The excitement is real. Nights drawing in.

Of course! Grab points where you can get 'em with these stupid clues. @FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge is this week's winner!

I'm think peas??

Oh! Google tells me he was in the reboot of dallas. That's where I know him from.

I think the same

I thought at first when the mask came off, it was Jack Whitehall and I think Davina did too!

Or James and Ola Jordan?

This is onomatopoeia

Yes Hazelbite, they were my first thought too. She's tiny and then as soon as they did the lift they popped in my head, Frankie Poultney.

Helpful to English teachers everywhere!

So far candlestick - judge rinder
Scissors - Amanda Holden

Astronaut - superman - dean Cain / Tom welling - got the small bills reference at least!

Odd socks - emma Willis or martine mcutcheon

Prawn cocktail - Sheridan smith

Pillar and post - David seaman and frankie

I might stand a chance of my year 5s remembering what onomatopoeia is this year when I teach it!

Can I join in, love this and the masked singer, real easy watching telly

I never have a clue who anyone is but my guess for the duo (who I now keep calling parcel connect in my head) could be Janette and Rylan from SCD

I also thought astronaut was Jack Whitehall when the helmet came off

Scissors could be Nicole Scherzinger

I did think the krankies but I don't think Janet would be that slim now.

Scraping the barrel in terms of celebrity, do Scissors' legs match up to those of Love Island's Amber Davis? I thought of her because the 'funny girl' line alludes to someone appearing in musicals (although she's not in that particular one). The US accents on this and TMS are nearly always fake and maybe hers is a tenuous reference to her playing the lead in 9 to 5.

For scissors I thought maybe Heather Morris from glee?

She was a backing Dancer before glee, her and Santana liked to scissor! Maybe that last one is too rude for Saturday night clues.

I'm thinking pillar and post could be Jason D and Kylie M - but I have never got it right yet! Oh apart from Viking (Morton Harket).

I would loooove Pillar and Post to be Kylie & Jason!

OK, Scissors is too tall to be Amber Davis. They want us to think she's Cat Deeley or one of the Pussycat Dolls, so rule them out. Ignoring the stupid clues, just looking at the figure and dancing ability, I'm onto Alesha Dixon now, with last year's true Strictly winner AJ Odudu as an outsider.

And Jason is advertising post code lottery!

Is Candlestick definitely a man? I only saw the little snippet before the vote off and instantly thought Fleur East. Just from the style.

But they unmasked astronaut before you posted 😅
