‘There’s more padding in this episode than the costumes’: Fans slam ‘boring’ Masked Singer ‘behind the scenes’ special – while the show takes a break before finale week due to lockdown
On Tuesday night, The Masked Singer aired it’s Unmasked special.
And it appears the episode left many fans bored, with some calling it ‘filler’ and a ‘yawn’.
As of August 22, production was shut down due to a coronavirus outbreak, meaning that filming on the finale was delayed.

That left the network scrambling for content for this week, which should have featured the final three – Bushranger, Frillneck and Queen – battling for the crown.
Instead, the episode featured a look at what goes on off stage, including costume design and interviews with the judges.
Confused fans shared their annoyance on Twitter, with some not aware they were watching a behind-the-scenes episode until they were most of the way through.

One person Tweeted: ‘Is this just a filler episode to push back content because of the COVID lockdown? SMH should I just turn off the TV?’
One more agreed: ‘So we’re 45 minutes into #MaskedSingerAU and we’re still stuck in the ‘previously on…’ part of the episode’.
Yet another complained: ‘Is anyone gonna sing, or get unmasked tonight?’
Oh dear: It appears the episode left many fans bored, with some calling it ‘filler’ and a ‘yawn’
Another added: ‘That’s it switching off they know if they advertised the format of this show people would NEVER have tuned in. Turn.It.Off.’
Someone else chimed in: ‘There’s more padding in this #MaskedSingerAU finale than in any of the elaborate costumes.’
One more agreed: ‘Switching channels briefly to the yawnfest that is tonight’s #MaskedSingerAU, I’m glad I’m watching #PlateOfOrigin’.
