"The Masked Singer": Shaking Up the Game This Season 🎯
This year, "The Masked Singer" is serving up some unexpected twists before the curtain rises! Yep, you heard it right – even before the brand-new season kicks off (Saturday, 8.15 pm, ProSieben and Joyn), one celebrity chose to unveil their identity early.
Whoa, hold the confetti! Matthias Opdenhövel, our beloved "ringmaster" – dressed in an adorable panda-inspired costume complete with a top hat – spilled the beans during the ProSieben program on Wednesday evening. As for those camouflaged celebs belting out hits every week, their identities remain a well-guarded secret. Guess we'll just have to wait and see who puts on a show-stopping performance until they snag enough votes or become the season's champion, revealing their true face.
Fun fact: Opdenhövel dropped a little innovation on us for this round. He shared that the costumes will be unveiled all at once during the first live show, unlike years past.
Ruth's Guessing Squad Gets a New Member 🚀
No more guessing games for Ruth Moschner, as she welcomes a new permanent partner to her squad. Who's joining the fray? You'll probably swoon when you hear – it's none other than the talented singer, Alvaro Soler!
Projecting excitement, Soler mused, "It's just so secretive around here – you really don't know anything! It's like the Secret Service, it's absurd." (Funnily enough, he also graced the ratings panel two years ago, getting slayed by the mystifying masks and artistic attires!)
According to Moschner, Soler's arrival has roused quite a bit of thrill amongst their viewers. Especially the ladies, who'll find themselves smitten by his enchanting presence and charm. "Alvaro also proved his astonishing guessing skills during his previous guest appearance, offering valuable insights that truly boosted our team. That was a game-changer for us," Moschner shared.
Tied to that excitement, Jenke von Wilmsdorff, the thrilling extreme reportage master, will join the guessing panel for the fist show as a guest star.
A Unique Twist – "The Masked Singer" Breaks its Schedule 🔄
Here's an interesting wrinkle: the ninth season of "The Masked Singer" plans to shake things up by switching up the day of the week! No, your eyes don't deceive you – the second edition will air on a Sunday evening (November 26, 8.15 pm) instead of the usual Saturday slot. Whaaat?!
Why the switch-up, you ask? Well, ProSieben decided to avoid competing with "Wetten, dass..." by swapping days, as the latter will air for its last time on that Saturday evening. "Thomas Gottschalk's farewell from 'Wetten, dass...' is a significant event that our masked stars cherish and wish to be a part of, not upstage it. Of course, ProSieben couldn't impede their wishes," Opdenhövel confirmed.
Get ready to watch "The Masked Singer" on November 18, as the hosts reveal the lovely costumes – including Opdenhövel – and the season takes off, full of mystery and suspense! Don't miss out on the surprise that's coming your way.
