Faced with the almighty football, any chain would have laid down its arms and thrown away to broadcast anything else to avoid facing it, but Antena 3 knows the vein it has in ‘Mask Singer’: there is something in the unmasking by surprise, the lucubration in networks and the final disappointment which makes the show a perfect non-stop party for Wednesdays, the day between episodes of ‘Survivors’ and general fallow on linear television. Yesterday, another two skins were removed before the almost infamous “But who are they?” Too young an audience.
They passed mazza of things
You already know how it works: six new skins give clues about themselves, the investigators (Ana Obregón, Mónica Naranjo and Los Javis) try to guess who they are and finally two of the six remove their heads, revealing the real person who was singing all the time. But she can’t always be as shocking as Tori Spelling, and the thing falls under its own weight causing a discouraged “Ah” from the audience at home.
While, in the first round, Sirena and Cupcake (personal bet: Samantha Hudson) went ununmasked, Yes, Matryoshka did, who sang a song by Ed Sheeran. The researchers thought it could be Karmele Marchante, Tamara Rojo, Xuxa or Alaska, but rarely have they gone so far: It was Valeria Mazza, a supermodel you know if you lived through the 90s and that in her day she became the first model received by the Pope. Well, the Popes: John Paul II and Benedict XVI. This has nothing to do with ‘Mask Singer’ but it is an incredible fact.
In the second round, Banderilla and Gorilla (the one they are about to catch) left without removing their heads, but Gnome, after perpetrating ‘Nailed in a bar’, had no choice. And that the researchers opted for José María Cano, Jordi Hurtado, Rodolfo Sancho and Fernando Alonso. Nothing is further from reality: It was José Ramón de la Morena, legendary Spanish sports journalist and whom many of you will know by his alter ego in the fabulous ‘Kings of the Night’. Before this parade of nineties idols, the most beautiful thing was to see how on social networks Gen Z was more checkered than Gioconda.
