Another week, another bunch of cursed The Masked Singer performances that have played out on our screens.

In this week’s episodes, the celebrities unmasked were singer Ben Lee (Professor), rugby player Lote Tuqiri (Piñata), and Aussie rock royalty Mahalia Barnes (Pavlova). While Ben was a popular prediction among viewers and Mahalia has been a celebrity guessed in past seasons, absolutely no one knew it was Lote inside that giant piñata costume this whole time.

Maybe we don’t have it all figured out just yet — besides Dolly and Vampire, those we do — so let’s jump into which celebrities viewers are guessing the most from this week’s The Masked Singer performances and clues.

Dolly

First clue: “I’m Dolly — and there’s more to me than you think. I’m a Dolly… not a Dolly bird. After missing my dream in Sydney, 2004 was when I made my mark. Am I the Queen? Yes. But also the Joker. Was it my dream to be a Dolly? No, it wasn’t. But I’ve made a career of being in the right place at the right time.

The heart is unpredictable. It has its needs. But remember: tomorrow is a brand new day. I’m Dolly and let me warn you: I’m nobody’s plaything!”

Second clue: “I’m the Dolly and you’re learning not to underestimate me. Dollies don’t usually have a lot to say unless you pull their string. But this Dolly will never be silenced! Dollies are meant to like pretty things like rainbows, but they just make me angry. Not that I like to make waves. Actually… I do like it!

Hmm, it’s hard to decide what sort of Dolly I should be. So many choices. That one? Or maybe this one? Which version of Dolly do you prefer? I’m Dolly and I sound as pretty as I look!”

Mind Reader revealed: A ripped man’s torso.

Dolly’s explanation: “Attraction can be very, very complicated and sometimes not.”

CCTV footage: Dolly tries to climb on a kid’s bike with training wheels, but knocks it over and leaves.

Guesses: Em Rusciano or..well, that’s the consensus.

Vampire

First clue: “I am Vampire, a creature others should fear. I am a modern Vampire. The old church holds no fear for me. But that does not make me a hero. Unlike most vampires, I glimpsed my future in the daylight. I knew there would be difficulties but I should fear nothing. Vampires do not concern ourselves with the stupid things.

The nations of the earth have cheered me on. Tears have flowed too. I have not slept since my teenage years. My life is like a waking dream. I am Vampire and no Masked Singer can stand against me!”

Second clue: “I am Vampire. Tremble before me! Am I a creature of Transylvania? Close. But I have walked most of the earth. Like a grand Duchess, I rule all before me. Vampires have no age. We are timeless. A lifetime is but a day. I shall never be a crone.

The nighttime belongs to Vampires. It is when we work and play. It is what I wanted, long before you ever heard my name. I am Vampire and I shall rule tonight!”

Mind Reader revealed: Freddie Mercury.

Vampire’s explanation: “In music, Freddie was the King but who is the Queen?”

CCTV footage: Vampire and a nurse watching over a bodyguard who is dying after flatlining.

Guesses: Anastacia (has our vote) or Vanessa Amorosi.

Mullet

First clue: “I’m just your average mullet, but I’m okay if you’re okay. As someone once told me, if you like it you better put a ring on it. Sometimes you have your eye on something shiny… but it’s not as good as you hope. No matter how far you travel, you can’t leave the real you behind. I’m a jack-of-all-trades. I’ve even taken on the Chinese! Not as a comedian, but you could call me something close.

I might be a mullet but don’t underestimate me. My intelligence isn’t artificial… and way better than 20! As a fish, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I’m the Mullet and I’m beside myself with excitement!”

Second clue: “I might be a Mullet but I’m not hard-headed like others I know. The night sky is so beautiful. But I prefer the sunshine. I love it like a sibling. I’m no superhero — just a fish trying to eke out a living in a hostile environment. There’s no shame in that.

I was number one once, y’know. But I wasn’t wearing flannelette at the time. Mullets go in and out of fashion. But lucky for me, I’ve got more than one string to me bow. I’m Mullet and I’ve got this competition hook, line and sinker!”

Mind Reader revealed: A shield.

Mullet’s explanation: “I think a lot about where I come from.”

CCTV footage: Mullet walked in a circle, scratched his butt and then did a dance.

Guesses: Beau Ryan, Josh Lawson, or Nick Cummins.

Baby

Clues: “Do I believe I can win The Masked Singer? Of course, I do! I’ve crystallised it in my beliefs. And my beliefs are broad. I’m wise beyond my years.  There’s nothing school could teach me. And yet the government comes seeking my advice. I’m a baby, so I’m new. A lot of people appreciate that about me. And when I’m big, there’ll be other new babies who need someone.

One day, I will have an all-consuming childhood dream. The only thing I want. And it will never happen. I’ll be known for something else. I’m Baby – and I’m gonna catch the other Masked Singers napping!”

Mind Reader revealed: The dates January 30 and January 31 are circled on a calendar.

Baby’s explanation: “I have a special day every year. Sometimes two!”

Guesses: Ella Hooper or Natalie Bassingthwaighte.

Atlantis

Clues: “I am Atlantis — deep, mysterious and powerful. Am I Chinese? It would be easy to have that belief. But I wasn’t there long. The west was where my ambition led me. Like the waves, my path has not been straight. But like water, nothing can hold me back for long.

Words have been my life but also my greatest danger. You don’t like what I have to say? Many others do. Don’t confuse me for a shop-girl.  Or Marilyn either. Perhaps I am a do-gooder? I would be happy with that. I am Atlantis — and no one can resist a force of nature.”

Mind Reader revealed: A gnat.

Atlantis’ explanation: “I’ve had a gnat on my mind my entire life.”

Guesses: Macy Gray or Marcia Hines.

Lightning

Clues: “I am Lightning — high voltage all the time! Do water and electricity mix? Not usually. But I’m flexible in what I do. After all, you’re not 21 forever. Although I ran a good race in Rio, I got tired of staying in my own lane. No more. Strike while the lightning is hot. Lightning has a voice and it has always been heard. Many millions have heard me speak. And I speak for those who have no words.

Lightning only goes in one direction. And that made all the difference. I’ve already survived one round of The Masked Singer. Tonight, Lightning strikes twice.”

Mind reader revealed: A mouse eating cheese.

Lightning’s explanation: “I owe my career to my relationship with a mouse.”

Guesses: Tammin Sursok or Alli Simpson.

Kebab

Clues: “I’m the Kebab and I’m totally satisfying! We kebabs have a long and proud history stretching all the way back to William the Conqueror. But me? I’m Australian as. A real beach baby. Catch you later!

Do you know why kebab vans have wheels? Because we’re always on the move. But we keep coming back to the best spot. Do you remember the first time you had a kebab? Unforgettable, right? Is the first time always the best? I am the Kebab — and I’m all saucy tonight!”

Mind Reader revealed: A Bible.

Kebab’s explanation: “We find inspiration in the most unexpected places.”

Guesses: Jack Vidgen or Courtney Act.
