For NFL night on Wednesday, Oct. 4, The Masked Singer threw the ball to a handful of celebrity contestants. Four scored, and for one, the Diver, a fumble and exit.
After Pickle (singing The Who’s “Pinball Wizard”), Gazelle (Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away”), Cow (Bruno Mars’ “Treasure”), S’more (Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger”), and Diver (OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried”) gave it their best shot, Diver was given the heave-ho.
When the helmet came off, the confetti fell, jaws dropped and Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules supervillain Tom Sandoval gave the crowd a wave.
Ken Jeong chose right for the second straight week. And with it, season 10 of Fox’s bizarre singing competition unmasked perhaps the “second-most hated person” in its history, notes Variety’s Michael Schneider, behind only disgraced former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who appeared in season seven.
If Jeong guessed right, he wasn’t the only one. Internet sleuths figured out the man behind the mask well ahead of the big reveal.
“So much fun,” Sandoval said of his experience on The Masked Singer. “Being able to come out here and perform behind the mask, not being judged, just being judged on my performance, it was really nice.”
Being a top TV villain, was it tough going on the show? “It was, but it was nice, I felt protected under the mask,” he continued. “This costume is incredible. There’s so many talented people here I feel honored to be part of it.”
Hosted by Nick Cannon, the latest season includes a 16-strong fleet of contestants disguised in extravagant costumes including a Husky, Royal Hen, Tiki, Hawk, Hibiscus and Anteater.
Sandoval (Diver) joins Anthony Anderson as Rubber Ducky and Demi Lovato as Anonymouse as season 10’s unmasked celebrities.
Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, Jeong and Jenny McCarthy return as judges for the latest season, which airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Fox.
