Fans of "The Masked Singer" are gearing up for what promises to be an exhilarating finale as the show continues to pique the interest of viewers who are engrossed by the mysteries of masked identities. The 11th season of the popular series has sparked rampant speculation among fans, especially following significant revelations during the semifinals.
This week, two contestants, the Feuersalamander and the Lokomotive, faced elimination during the semifinals, leading to surprising reveals for both. Under the Feuersalamander mask was none other than actress Jessica Schwarz, whose unmasking surprised even Palina Rojinski, who had previously guessed another identity. The Feuersalamander, known for its captivating performance, charmed audiences until its unexpected exit.
Similarly, the Lokomotive also did not make it to the finale. The reveal of Mimi Fiedler, another beloved actress, caught many off guard. Even though she didn’t make it to the grand finale, Fiedler expressed her gratitude, stating, "Thank you for this wonderful trip," as she celebrated her exit with one last performance.
Both Schwarz and Fiedler's last-minute reveals served as strong reminders of the show's power to astonish. Interestingly, Fiedler stepped in on short notice after another celebrity withdrew from the competition, participating just 24 hours before the first rehearsals. This last-minute change added to the dynamics of the show, leaving fans curious about who else might have simply missed their chance to perform.
But what about the remaining masks? The show, which has become synonymous with family entertainment, features ten contestants this season. Each episode has fans speculating based on clues revealed during their performances. Social media, especially the Joyn app, has transformed speculation, allowing users to vocally share their guesses about the identities hidden underneath the elaborate disguises.
This week, the buzz surrounds the remaining masks, particularly the Qualle, who has garnered significant attention. According to Joyn app users, 54 percent speculate it could be Mandy Capristo, the former singer of Monrose. Other strong candidates include Maite Kelly with 25 percent support, and actress Patricia Kelly, drawing the interest of 7 percent of users.
Next on the list is Willy W., whom 61 percent of viewers believe is the rapper Eko Fresh, with comedians Paul Panzer and Otto Waalkes trailing behind. Another mask, the Lokomotive, is generating chats with 38 percent of fans speculating Peggy March could be performing behind this character. Anke Engelke and Vanessa Mai are also contenders with substantial guesses at 21 and 9 percent respectively.
Speculation doesn’t stop there—discussions about the identity of the Pirate have caught on, with Joris receiving the highest estimate of 55 percent. Wincent Weiss is gaining attention with 20 percent of user votes, and 7 percent are backing Gabriel Kelly.
The show has made waves this season with several unmaskings already featuring talents like Pascal Hens, Madita van Hülsen, Maren Kroymann, and Lou Bega, each bringing their flair before being revealed. Fans have mixed feelings about saying goodbye to these personalities, but the excitement for future reveals keeps them engaged and eager. With the final episode set to air this Saturday at 20:15 on ProSieben and Joyn, viewers are counting down the hours until they discover the truths hidden behind the remaining masks.
“The Masked Singer” continues to captivate audiences not only with its entertainment value but also through the community it fosters among fans who compare notes on their theories and guesses. With the show’s finale fast approaching, the atmosphere is charged with curiosity and enthusiasm—audiences are ready to see which stars will take off their masks and which remaining contestants will make the final cut.
