Welcome to the TiBB Masked Singer! Tonight our first 8 singers are taking to the stage, and they’ll be competing in 4 battles. The winner of each battle will safely sail through to the second round - whilst the losers will face the public vote and one will be unmasked!

One of our judges called in sick, so Maxxie and Mitchell will be giving their thoughts - and the lovely Nicky91 will break any voting ties.

Let’s get the show underway! In our first battle, we have one of the biggest land predators, facing the ruler of the BBQ scene!

The Lion

I'm The Lion because i just can't wait to be king of tibb whew and i really want to be a Lion in my next life so watch out racists mwah. I chose this song because i didn't want to be ****ing predicable and sing the lion king which is my favourite disney movie btw.I also wanted to show off my unique vocals. holistic vocal coach Ariel would be so proud.

Mitchell: Whew! So we can tell that you hate the racists (same) and that you want to be the king of tibb, I’m pretty sure the whew and mwah is to try and make us think it’s one of the Roblox crew, where as I actually don’t think it is, my guess is STRICTLY JAKE!

Maxxie: That was a GRRRREAT performance! Was a, tight fit choice of a song too, perhaps a little too tight though as it was a little obvious but you showed us what you’re about and worked them claws! I encourage you to think outside the box a little more if you make it to next week, `I wanna see what the real lion has to give! `I saw a mention of a holistic vocal goddess in there, so as the user who broke the news to us I am going to go with firewire for now

The Hot Dog

I wanted to be a hotdog because who doesn’t want a massive sausage between their buns. The saucier the better for me, I need a good dollop of ketchup, Heinz, hp, daddies, ASDA’s own I’m not too bothered as long as its on there. I like some mustard too. Oh and cheese Im all about the cheese. I love the fact that hot dogs come in all shapes and sizes, I’m all for that, you can even get mini hot dogs, Id have to have 3 mini ones though!
———

Mitchell: Ok so I love you. Your performance was sexy, saucy and not a beef hot dog, but a lovely pork hot dog, I think you love nothing more than sausages all in your mouth, but the ASDA clue sealed it for me, ARISTA!

Maxxie: Now that’s what we need a lit bit of saucy spice to the TiBBMS! Was getting major drag race vibes from the clue package, is Baga Chipz a member of tibb?

Its time for the judges votes.

Hot Dog, you are straight through to Week 3! That means Lion will be in our Bottom 4 tonight.

Next up we have the king of celebration drinks up against the king of the skies, but who will come out on top?

The Champagne Bottle

I chose my costume because I’m just waiting for my time to pop and who doesn’t love a bit of fizz? Though I’m singing about genies, my talent is the only thing coming out of this bottle, raise your glasses.
———

Mitchell: You are FABULOUS! Christina is always a great choice and you waiting for the time to pop, girl you might have just done that! You’re talented, you’re sexy, I think you are CHERIE!

Maxxie: Champers, welcome to the Masked Singer! Nice to be in the presence at your long awaited comeback since your Kinga days! I am so sorry for your mid 00s ordeal but now you’ve gone solo and what a way to redeem yourself by giving a fabulous performance! Who knew you could bring such pleasure to two different kind of orifices this evening.

The Vulture

———
I picked this costume because over the last few years, the Vulture has meant a lot to me. I picked a song from upcoming movie Birds of Prey and the Fabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn as a nod to the costume, and also to one of my favourite film characters.
———

Mitchell: Movie fan, cultured, loves birds of pray, I know this member prays loads, it’s Rob!

Maxxie: “The vulture meant a lot to me” is really throwing me. Great original choice tho vulture for both costume and song! He’s shown some Harley Quinn enthusiasm on tibb in the past so for now I’m guessing LukeB.

Its time for the judges votes.

Champagne Bottle, you are straight through to Week 3! That means Vulture will be in our Bottom 4 tonight.

We are halfway through our show tonight, and Battle 3 shows no signs of slowing down. Let’s just hope The Ghostface doesn’t scare away The Anteater!

The Ghostface

———
I chose this costume as scream is one of my favourite movie series and who doesn't like a good scare? I love horror movies, any really. The song I chose this song as it connects to, another one of my favourite series, Friday the 13th. I think I'm taking a risk here but it's a good one to take. I hope to scream my way through the masked singer.
———

Mitchell: Friday the 13th, the costume, the song, welcome back to TiBB SamPVT!

Maxxie: Some murder mystery to the masked singer I love it! I can’t wait to see who this is, you need to give me some horror recommendations when you’re unmasked! As for who you are I had horror villains in my mind and then it occurred to me… JASON?! (The tibb member not the killer)

The Anteater
https://i.ibb.co/xDH1KL9/53-DA2355-4...-E26-C2680.png

———
This costume was born out of the fact that I have a love for Anteaters. I came across one during a holiday in Brazil and ever since then I wanted to pay homage to this beautiful creature. The inspiration for this song came from the fact that I love a psychedelic trip and this video took me on a whole journey. I love being dominated, hence the tyrant and you can’t go wrong with a bit of Kali and Jorja.
———

Mitchell: Your story is the cutest, we love your homages, so you’re someone well traveled, smart, classy, you are LUKEB! Although going by the press this week and it being an anteater, I hope I get some of your 31 million Lisa x

Maxxie: Now this is an interesting one! The psychedelic trip and love of being dominated I’m sure you are a very unique and confident individual. I also liked how you didn’t go for a basic or obvious choice for your song, well done anteater! Guess: anyone who’s got Natalie from BB17 listed in their favourites.

Its time for the judges votes.

The Crab

———
I chose my costume because my starsign is Cancer the Crab. My song is to give the clue that I am female.

———

Mitchell: People don’t always assume you are a Female, cancer, got crabs, Dezzy is that you?

Maxxie: What an infectious performance! Don’t even know the gender of most people on this forum. I keep forgetting is Nicky a boy or a girl? Guess: uhh Niamh
