This show is not high-quality television in the slightest nor is it really high-quality reality show tv either. However, the Masked Singer possesses a certain je ne sais quoi that I haven't seen in any other reality competition show. Its biggest draw for me is how engaging it is. The anonymity itself creates intrigue immediately and I've never been quite so invested in finding out a person's identity as I have with this show. True, the celebrities revealed are often obscure, barely even famous and/or came to fame either very recently or very long ago, but the exhilaration of guessing one correctly is a great feeling. The show runners do their best to make each episode interesting and the clue packages are easily some of the highlights of each episode. My big complaint is that the show can be a bit on the rigged side. For a show called the Masked SINGER, the bad singers seem to stay on a lot longer than they should if they give a good physical performance (*cough* White Tiger *cough*). They also seem to elevate the drama unnecessarily from time to time by sending good singers home in favour of the continuing storyline of a not so great one. Still, I would recommend this to anyone who's a sucker for reality competition shows a la Dancing with the Stars. The costumes are stunning (for the most part) and some of the performances are mind-blowing. If you are easily bothered by puns though, be warned: this show loves them.
