Gilligan and Ross are both great, McCall is fine, but they should definitely bin Rita Ora.

I watched the clip as I can't stand the actual show but she may have well not been in costume as she didn't disguise her voice at all. It was so blatantly obvious that it was Dionne Warwick. And the fact she perhaps has hearing issues now - they would have to hide the foldback speakers behind those clouds every single week like they did in Week 1. Would have been very restrictive with any staging! As mentioned - feels like a bit of a fixed big name just to get the new season going.

Cricket - Lemar Maypole - Melody Thornton
That was a surprising reveal tonight!

I’m convinced Maypole is Rita Ora.

I'm fairly confident that Dippy Egg is Ed Balls. Voting clue, "commons" reference in the extra clue and football + tractor = "Tractor Boys", the nickname of Ipswich Town, the rivals of Norwich City who Balls used to be Chairman of.
My inkling for Maypole is Samira Mighty due to them clearly being a trained singer and many references to Love Island. I really hope it's not Rita Ora but I wouldn't put that beyond the producers.
Cricket is Lemar, I knew I recognised the voice and my wife and I both *screamed* when Olly Murs guessed it!
(Murs, as an aside, was great. I'd be very happy to see him replace Ora)

Especially since they’ve booted him off The Voice from out of nowhere.

Once again, a fix. It just so happens that the person voted out this week is connected to the guest judge 🙄.

Yeah, that was a remarkable coincidence. And all the guest judges at the end does make it look like Rita Ora is one of the singers.

There’s no voting money being ‘wasted’, and we got to see that lovely reunion. I had Sawahla in mind when they gave a ‘Press’ related clue, but jumped ship to Fearne Cotton because it sounded a bit like her.

Whilst I agree that it’s just an entertainment show, when it starts to appear more and more manipulated then it loses some of its fun/ entertainment to me.

If The Masked Singer was live and had public voting, I'd understand the annoyance but it's not and really it doesn't matter.

I agree with Alex Scott being Owl. I haven’t a clue about Eiffel Tower possibly someone Australian

I haven’t a clue about Eiffel Tower possibly someone Australian I thought Eiffel Tower was lulu, then remembered she was on it last year, so now I’m just trying to think of singers who sound like Lulu. Piranha - Danny jones from McFly 100% Big foot - Alex Brooker 100% Air Fryer - keala settle Maypole - melody Thornton Cricket - lemar

The annoyance from my side comes from the fact that it's becoming increasingly obvious that, at least in part, the order in which the performers are unmarked is in some way planned. It would be fair enough if they were open about this, but if the studio audience's input has no real bearing they shouldn't pretend it does. My guess for Eiffel Tower is Macy Gray, it certainly sounds a lot like her.

Given the glut of talent shows & ‘people being voted off/celebrity learning a skill shows’ that have sprung up this century, I have no expectation of the results being in any way pure. If they aren’t manipulated in the early stages through initial selection, the producers build story around them and script the whole process as much as is possible. The only times that I’ve seen this fail is Will Young (who still went on to sell them a shed-load of records) or when Jodie won ‘I’d Do Anything’. It was either a very clever double bluff or the will of the public that won through over Camerons desire for something other than her ‘busty blowsy salt of the earth’ Nancy. Otherwise these things happen exactly how the producers want them to.

Leon Jackson (if you said "who", I don't blame you) is the most infamous example of that I can think of. There was an X Factor third place finisher (Ben something) who nearly walked off the show when he was told the winner's single, which was clearly tailored for the eventual winner rather than him.

Is Maypole Nicole Scherzinger giving it 60% vocals?

Got to say that the masked singers brought their "A" game tonight, some spectacular performances particularly from Lamar as Cricket!
Lorraine Kelly really surprised me as Owl, does anyone know what the significance of the Russian flag in week 1 was?
Ellie Goulding referring to Danny Jones as "Danny from Mcfly" when she's dated Dougie Poynter and is fully aware of Jones' name was really funny.
Anyway, my remaining calls:
Eiffel Tower: Macy Gray
Cricket: Lemar
Piranha: Danny Jones
Maypole: Ruth Jones
Bigfoot: Alex Brooker

Eiffel Towel - Lindsey Lohan Cricket - Lemar Piranha - Danny Jones Maypole - Melody Thornton Bigfoot - Alex Brooker Air Fryer and Dippy Egg - no clue! Soz but Eiffel towel is a hilarious typo 😂. Air fryer is keala settle, I’m 99.9% sure. There were clues for sister act and waitress tonight. Dippy egg does seem to be Ed balls with some of the clues related to a football team he’s involved with or something. I was thinking Lindsey Lohan but she’s got more of a gravel to her voice, this just really really sounds like miley Cyrus, how much does her sister sound like her? Lemar, Danny, Alex, all 100% correct. I think it’s melodie but I wouldn’t know for sure.

I went in the other room to get something at one point during Happy Talk, and thought ‘That sounds a bit like Lorraine Kelly.’
Then I thought ‘nah.’ 🤣

I also thought Dippy Egg was Ed Balls, but it's (spoiling because this person blurted out it was them during a live broadcast this week) {Spoiler - click to view} Simon Rimmer from Sunday Brunch.
