Masked Singer 2025 Thread 2. We are Wolfing down the clues and can't Bear the excitement

[Piggywaspushed]

Come and join us for wild speculation about David Tennant, Sheridan Smith and the occasional correct guesses.

No one is missing Rita Ora.

There was a rat clue for Wolf, any chance he could be Bob Geldof?

He was smooth, lol.

Not miles older than previous guesses like Billy Idol, then! Funny, David Essex is someone I think of as firmly before my time, whereas the 80s were my formative years, so those guys seem much less old

I thought him as well

Well we got a few but they had to be rushed as she didn't want to sing much of her final song....!

We've guessed Shane Ritchie every series since it started- has to be right at some point.

I thought Wolf could be Adam Ant until I height checked 🤔

I wonder who Bush is. Very small. Guessing 5ft 3 or less.

The panel have guessed Macy G every series & we finally got her 🤣

I said that on the last thread! It looked like a young pharaoh.

Was the Gambit clue linked to wolf ? Marti was in the musical Chess

Nile just died so he's not supporting anyone unfortunately!

Could Pufferfish be Jill Halfpenny?

Really? Because he was posting on Instagram at lunchtime.

Alfa Anderson, lead singer of Chic, died a few weeks ago; but Nile is still very much with us.

When? Today? I didn't hear. Are you sure?

That's made me wonder, actually: what would happen if a contestant did die between the time when they recorded and broadcast the programme - which I gather is several months? Would they still show it? They could hardly excise one person from the series without it being really obvious.

Macy Gray saying she couldn't remember the name of her own song 😂 What a pathetic spoilt brat.

Bloody hell man, I was thinking of Quincy Jones 🤦‍♀️. And I looked back and it does look like a bishop's mitre so I best shut up!

Ah, good, thanks - mystery solved!

Anyone else find Wolf disturbingly sexy?

Definitely!

I still can't believe that Macy Gray would suffer from such a sense of humour failure when willingly participating in such a wonderfully silly, ridiculous, lighthearted show as TMS! And she's done it three times now!!

Maybe she was mistaking Joel Dommett for Melvyn Bragg

Wolf - Marti Pellow
Pufferfish- Chris Colby ( Glee)
Bush- Nikki Chapman
Snail- Andrea Corr

What I'd maybe do if I were a producer is announce it in advance; show a one off episode of just them, including the panel's guesses (edited if necessary) then show the series as a whole as normal, but without the panel's guesses for the deceased contestant.

It depends on how well they did tbh. If they won the whole show then I'd just reveal their identity in advance and then show the series as normal. If as an audience member I'd known in advance that (say) the late Quincy Jones was Bear then it wouldn't stop me watching, and there are no particular reasons of taste why you wouldn't show a very silly but basically respectful show featuring a deceased star.
