With the sixth season of the hit show "Mask" well underway, viewers have already witnessed the dramatic eliminations of beloved characters such as Korovka, Kapibara, Ovechka, and Tsyplenok over the past five episodes. Each week brings suspense as contestants battle for their chance to remain hidden behind their elaborate costumes, and March 16, 2025, proved to be no different.
During the sixth episode, ten contestants fought for their chance to shine: Ogurchik, Strus, Sokol, Byk, Dalmatin, Bokser, Bogomol, Okun, Utka, and Vojd. Unfortunately, only three of these contestants would face elimination: Bokser, Okun, and Bogomol. The audience, as always, held the power to vote and save their favorite character.
The tension was palpable as the contestants took their places, and after some intense deliberation, Bokser emerged as the audience favorite, garnering 46.5% of the votes from those present to escape elimination. This left the judges with the agonizing task of choosing between Bogomol and Okun, both of whom had captured the hearts of viewers during their performances. Because Bogomol had already faced elimination previously, the judges opted to continue with Okun, sending Bogomol packing.
With the decision made, the mask behind which Bogomol had been hiding was finally unveiled, much to the audience's surprise and delight. The reveal turned out to be none other than the talented singer and actress Olga Seryabkina. Known for her artistic flair and strong stage presence, Seryabkina's departure from the competition created quite the emotional moment. Judge Filip Kirkorov exclaimed, “Our beloved!” as Seryabkina removed the elaborate mask. The emotional reveal of the beloved figure brought tears to Regina Todorenko's eyes, who expressed her sadness at seeing her friend leave the competition.
"ParticipateNting in this project has been quite the challenge for me," Seryabkina stated. "Wearing such a heavy mask required constant balance and unique movement to prevent anything inside from breaking. But now I’m glad to be back and interact with everyone without the mask!" Her candid remarks shed light on the difficulties contestants face behind the scenes, especially when performing under such elaborate costumes.
The season six premiere of "Mask" aired on February 9, 2025, on the NTV channel, and each new episode is available weekly every Sunday. With the show steadily capturing extensive viewership and drawing discussions online, the drama continues to escalate over who will wear the masks and how deep each character will go to enthrall the audience.
Despite the twists and turns, the contestants remain strong as they strive to win the affection and votes of the viewers week after week. Each elimination promises to take the audience on emotion-filled rides, making the season captivating.
Judging has been no easy task for the panel as they navigate through guesses and deliberations each week. The support from the audience proves instrumental, perhaps more than ever, as the stakes get higher and the competition stiffer. So, who will be the next to go home? And who will emerge as the show’s ultimate champion?
