  1. Over recent weeks I have been surprised by the interest of TMS as in our household (with a combined child, tween, teen and adult age bracket) , not one person has shown any interest in this show, it’s has not appealed to any of us and have in fact been put off by the commercials showing screaming, over the top, “celebrity” judges and some cringeworthy” celebrity” performers. I know we are in the minority according to the ratings, but it comes as no shock to me that the interest is fading.

  2. I was going to ask if they’ll renew this for a second season but by tomorrow we should know ,this doesn’t have the legs to continue in this iteration and perhaps as mentioned elsewhere a change is on order. I feel sorry for the poor audience who had to sit for what would be hours only to be told to go home and wait for the show.

  3. Good to see that people are waking up to the steaming pile of garbage Love Island actually is. Now to see the same thing with MAFS next year (crosses fingers and prays)

    1. I think both shows are bad in terms of how trashy the are – but I don’t mind Love Island where the show knows that it is some guilty pleasure silly dumb-fun (especially with snarky narrator).

      MAFS tries to sell itself on being a relativity high-brow “Social Experiment” but is as bad if not worse than Love Island in terms of being trashy. That’s the show I just can’t watch.

  4. I agree with Sassy1…. Secret Bridesmaids Business is excellent and deserves a better time and ratings…. and I’m down to watching just the last five minutes of TMS.

  5. Glad I am not the only one, TMS has lost it’s appeal. Hughes & Lohan are hopeless and absolutely useless. I think they need to rethink the format of this show.

    It’s got to the point where we know who they are and it’s just boring. I think they need to add new characters each week and reveal more singers under the mask. It feels drag out.

    I think the judges know who they are but are playing dumb and it’s freaking annoying.

    1. Bit of a drop but doing better than many expected. Doing well on other platforms like 9Now. Most shows drop after the initial airing. Look at The Masked Singer, started out at 1.1 million and last night down to just over 700,000.

  6. In the third week I’m losing interest in The Masked Singer. Dave Hughes is getting more annoying by the minute with his “jokes” and guesses. Also the out of context cutaways to the audience and overplayed reactions\laughter is off putting. I have no idea who Adam Brand, and I assume a lot of the audience didn’t either.

    1. The issue is that they are not big celebrities, and once they’ve all been accurately guessed there’s no compelling reason to sit through it as the oucome is not a surprise.

  7. Yes unfortunately Masked Singer becomes less interesting after a while. Possibly because the remaining singers identities are now known or widely suspected.
