As the Superbowl rapidly approaches, fans of The Masked Singer have more to cheer about than football. The 3rd season of the mega-hit celebrity singing competition will launch following the big game and viewers are wasting no time in analyzing the clues.
So far the show has revealed 12 of the 18 new costumes. The Llama, Banana, Miss Monster, Frog, Mouse, Robot, Kangaroo, White Tiger, Turtle, Astronaut, Swan, and Kitty. Fox has given fans some over all stats for this season's 18 competitors which include: a combined 69 Grammy Award nominations, 88 Gold records, 11 Super Bowl appearances, three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, over 160 tattoos and one Guinness Book of World Records title.
With several promos that have been released, as well as a clip of the show aired on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, eagle-eyed fans have picked up on every possible clue for each specific contestant. While not all of the costumes have been unveiled, fans have already begun taking their stab at guessing. Here are the guesses so far and the clues to back them up:
MOUSE
Clues shown in the promo of Nick dropping off the costume include Beverly Hills, a mansion, uggs and pink tracksuit, a chihuahua in a pink tutu, and a bedazzled buzzer 3340. Paris Hilton's house number is 3340 and she definitely has been photographed plenty with pink tracksuits and uggs as well as her chihuahua.
Early guess is Paris Hilton.
LLAMA
The Sounds of Seattle sign, 23.3 The Wool, and camera around his neck. Over on Reddit, a user named Alkali13 was quick to point out that The Drew Carey Show ran for 233 episodes. He was a radio operator in the military, has worked as a photographer at U.S. National Team soccer games on occasion and is a minority owner of the Major League Soccer team Seattle Sounders.
Early guess is Drew Carey.
TURTLE
The promo shows Turtle holding a guitar that says rock and roll while wearing an edgy spiked rocker costume. Since the clip appeared to take place in school fans are making early connections to School of Rock star Jack Black.
Early guess is Jack Black.
FROG
Of the very limited clues for Frog is the "I won't be forgotten" purple suit, which reminded many fans of the suit from The Mask but without more to go on Jim Carrey would still be a wild shot in the dark as a guess. However, in his movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the couple erases each other from memory which would fit the other clue well.
Early guess is Jim Carrey.
THE WHITE TIGER
The clues for this singer included "I ain’t no scaredy-cat,"and an attempt at the flossing dance craze. Names being thrown out include Dan Akroyd because of the similarity to a phrase linked to Ghostbusters.
Early guess Dan Akroyd.
KANGAROO
Clues include a boxing outfit with bedazzled gloves and an outback sign. Fans have thrown out the names of many Australian female celebrities and believe the pouch might be a clue that the performer has children as well. The best link so far to the clues seems to be actress Rose Byrne. She starred in a movie called The Boxer and the Bombshell, is from Australia, has small children and did some singing in Get Him to the Greek.
Early guess is Rose Byrne.
MISS MONSTER
This celebrity singer has very few clues so far with only the lipstick mic and the costume itself. There don't appear to be any strong guesses to be made with so little info for this one.
No early guess.
ROBOT
In the promo where Nick delivered this costume, the clues weighed heavily on a country theme with a "cowboy" even being the one to receive the costume. With the high tech robot, fans are also looking for someone with both country music and non-country music backgrounds. Some seem convinced that Billy Ray Cyrus or Darius Rucker fit this description.
Early guesses are Billy Ray Cyrus or Darius Rucker.
BANANA
The only clues shown when Nick delivered this costume, were a dressing room and a quiet backstage sign. The Banana costume gave many comedy vibes and the height of the costume led some to "Weird" Al Yankovic.
Early guess is Al Yankovic.
KITTY
Only released on Instagram, all fans have seen of Kitty is her showgirl costume. Many also noticed she has two different colored eyes, and Elizabeth Berkley starred in a movie called Showgirls and has this trait.
Early guess is Elizabeth Berkley.
The Masked Singer season 3 premieres Febuary 2nd after the Super Bowl on FOX.
