I’ve seen each single episode of FOX’s actuality singing competitors present The Masked Singer. It may appear dumb to some, and elements of it are over-the-top bizarre, however there’s so much to take pleasure in in regards to the present. And I do know I’m not alone, because it’s airing its tenth season now, with a brand new episode airing Wednesday night time celebrating Elton John. And earlier than the present hits your tv screens, I’ve a extreme hunch as to who’s underneath the “Royal Hen” costume, and because of a social-media mistake, we’ll discover out after 60 minutes whether or not I’m proper or not. However guess on me being proper due to my observe document. And with out additional ado: I consider it’s Billie Jean King.
In the course of the premiere episode of the season, the primary clue for “Royal Hen” was revealed, stating how she’s identified world wide due to “what I did.” Properly, clearly, King is a world-famous tennis participant, which suffices the clue, nevertheless it goes deeper than that as she’s been a vocal advocate for ladies and other people from all backgrounds. The additional clues offered earlier than the present by Leisure Weekly solely again up my idea, past the singer’s voice, which inserts King, who will flip 80 subsequent month.
The yet-to-be-aired clue bundle reportedly mentions how “Royal Hen” goes to “maintain court docket” and is a “true trailblazer.” Time to change my guess to Damian Lillard! Simply kidding, though he’d be nice on a future season as soon as he will get settled in Milwaukee. Clearly mentioning the court docket is a tennis reference and beating Bobby Riggs throughout a Battle of Sexes match, alongside together with her quite a few on-court accolades, factors to King because the movie star visitor. Different sports activities references are additionally reportedly made within the bundle.
After all, the present’s researchers did their due diligence, and putting King on the episode devoted to Elton John could be no mistake. He wrote the track she’s singing about King. “Philadelphia Freedom” was a reference to the now-defunct World Crew Tennis squad, the Philadelphia Freedoms, for whom King was the workforce’s player-coach for his or her solely season in existence. Singing the track written about her isn’t in opposition to the present’s guidelines and we’ll see if Robin Thicke or Nicole Scherzinger know sufficient about music to place all these items collectively. I’ve much less religion in Ken Jeong, even together with his sizzling begin to the season of guessing Anthony Anderson, and Tom Sandoval accurately. Even with all of the clues, nothing’s official till tonight’s episode airs. Don’t guess in opposition to it being King although.
