The Masked Singer (TV Series) Season 5 Premiere - Return of the Masks (2021) User Reviews

Great Start

Even though it was a really quiet premiere I think the show will get hyped up when the Wild Cards enter the mix. But so far the show has not disappointed me.

Anticlimactic and rigged

I thought the show had actually gotten its judging in order after last season, which had few poor judging choices, but looks like we're back to the kind of judging that plagued season 3. There is no way that Snail should have gone home over Racoon. It doesn't matter that the Racoon gave a better performance; the show is called the Masked SINGER, not the Masked PERFORMER. Seems the judges can't remember this.

And speaking of the Snail's reveal, it was so anticlimactic. Look, I love Kermit the Frog, but I was expecting a real person in there. The least they could have done was show us the human controlling him, who I imagine is his current performer, Matt Vogel, but I guess that would have broken the magic for kids watching. I really expected it to be Seth McFarlane performing a stunt, so I'm just disappointed overall.

I know this will probably be an unpopular opinion, but the season opened with a bit of a bust for me.

Don't Have A Problem With a New Host, Just THIS Host

Niecy Nash is a pretty funny comedian. But she doesn't have the voice for hosting. Can't wait for Nick Cannon to get over COVID and come back as the host.
