it wouldn’t the masked singer if there wasn’t something unpredictable in the process. Usually, it’s the eliminations that scratch their heads and the unexpected winners that make the spectators guess. But the change goes beyond the competitors, as new elements have been added in more recent seasons. masked singer. Now, the format change and eliminations collide in a major way, as one of the show’s executive producers talked about the unmasking change for season 8 and why it will be “exciting”.
Executive producer Craig Plestis discussed the latest format change of Fox’s singing competition during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. Each episode of the next season will see one contestant immediately eliminated in the first round, with the other contestants competing to see who advances to the next round. This will take place in three rounds over three episodes until the series reaches its three semifinalists. Plestis couldn’t contain his excitement about the change, as he revealed that it will allow some singers more opportunities to shine:
It’s very exciting because you see, will someone sweep all three episodes to make it to the semifinals, or will each episode have a new king or a new queen? Because they are tough. We have incredible talent this year, that is [also] very sad, especially for our panel, because they are so amazing that we want to see them last a little longer. But it’s the thrill of seeing them [unmasked] right away, to see if your assumptions are correct. Bring a whole new life and a whole new look to our show.
It looks like there will be more unmasking and contestants for speakers and audiences to choose from. The masked singer the change seems more chaotic than the usual process of elimination. Having someone kicked out in the middle of the show is brutal. At the same time, however, it allows the competition to quickly reduce the roster so that the best singers are in the fray. With that, it appears that now more than in previous seasons, contestants will have to put in more effort to make an impact on the audience.
In addition to the multiple kills this season, there will be themed parties and clue packs. Fans may also have questions about the contestants the masked singer, especially after the controversy of the seventh season involving Rudy Giuliani. The producer told EW that this round will see beloved characters compete in the reality competition:
I like to think that this season we have some of America’s and the world’s most loved celebrities and people coming to our stage. The magic is back, I like to say, this is my slogan for the show. We have it. And come and experience it. You will smile. you will have fun guessing like never before. And with new masks every week, with double unmasks every week, it’s unlike anything we’ve done before in the history of Masked Singer.
It appears that this year the random eliminations and the jury jury will generate excitement rather than polarize the contestants. Hopefully the season 8 winner won’t be greeted with mixed feelings like last season or nearly spoiled like the GoldbergsHayley Orrantia. But overall, the show seems to be returning to its crazy roots, with viewers focusing more on who is behind the costumes, and can’t wait to see how it turns out!
the masked singer Season 8 airs September 21 at 8pm EST on Fox. In addition to the reality TV singing competition, there are several new and returning TV premieres this fall.
