I probably watch Ninja once a month. For someone that watches him a few times a week it would be hard not to recognize.
I thought he was trying out for the live action Johnny Quest movie.what's with cannon and the turbans?
I'm waiting to see who this year brings out, because I've read that after the first season, they got so many requests to be on this show from "big name celebrities" that they filmed season 2 and 3 back to back.And herein why I hated this show. I get you are trying to drum up some intrigue, but the chances of an A-list celebrity being on this show are zero. I watched last year to humor my wife--it won't happen again. I set the DVR, she can watch this tripe on her own time.
This means they have a true ringer in the bunch. They needed to get them on film in case they bolted between seasons.I'm waiting to see who this year brings out, because I've read that after the first season, they got so many requests to be on this show from "big name celebrities" that they filmed season 2 and 3 back to back.
My wife guessed it as well. So now both my wife and my kid have correct guesses, while I’m getting shut out.My 7 year old and 5 year old have now begun watching the show with a notebook to write down the clues. My 5 yo mainly mainly drew pictures of pandas and hearts but my 7 yo was getting down almost all of the clues.
My wife guessed the person who got kicked off and is now all cocky about how good she is at guessing the celebrities
Tuning in every week, buddy?this week was so crappy there actually was corn in it.
They said something like 47 combined Grammy's and some Tony's amongst the competitors. I'm interested to see exactly who they are.This means they have a true ringer in the bunch. They needed to get them on film in case they bolted between seasons.
they said that last year and while they did have actual singers who won or were nominated for a lot of those awards, they also counted the wins and nominations for Cheech & Chong albums (which I don't think are musical, although I've never listened to them).They said something like 47 combined Grammy's and some Tony's amongst the competitors.

The bigger names like Seal are the only ones I guess right, mainly because I barely know who the others are.Well a couple of big names this season mixed in with a couple of duds. The one week they were like, "You won't believe who gets unmasked this week!" Then it was Raven Simone. Um, Ok.
But Patti LaBelle and Seal are pretty big names. Patti knocked out before Ana Gasteyer had to sting a little for the Godmother of Soul.
I've come to realize I don't know anyone by their voice. I've pretty much just resigned myself to going, "I think it's a white girl." Or, "That sounds like a black guy." And I'm proud when I'm right 25% of the time.The bigger names like Seal are the only ones I guess right, mainly because I barely know who the others are.
Basically because there is nothing else on.The fact that this show exists is bad enough but understandable.
The fact that it is popular really really bugs me. Hard to put in words why it does, but it does.
Yes I imagine that's one reasonBasically because there is nothing else on.
I have to admit, I thought it was Jamie Foxx up until last night. The song last night was clearly not Foxx. I think Brady might be a good guess.My wife got us into this show halfway through S1 at our neighbors' suggestion. I mocked how stupid it was and my wife said "You just don't want to watch because you're not going to know who anyone is." I love games and competition, so when she said that challenge accepted. We now watch with 2 other neighborhood families and make friendly wagers that involve drinks on who everyone is. You get a bonus if you are the first one to guess a name that nobody else, including the judges, has guessed. So far I've got 3 correct (T-Pain, Ninja, Kelly Osborne) that nobody else has guessed while the rest of the field has 3 combined (Raven Simone, Paul Schaffer, and Patti LaBelle). I have no idea who anyone remaining is except the Fox, who I have been fairly confident is Wayne Brady from the first time I heard him. The rest of my neighbors think it's Jamie Foxx
We celebrate the entire Kardashian oeuvre as a society. Getting to this point and dancing people you have to Google first, seems like a natural and unavoidable endgame. And harbingers of coming of the ApocalypseThe fact that this show exists is bad enough but understandable.

I did not say it's stupid. Not at all.I'm not sure why people go out of their way to say how stupid they think this show is (not trying to pick on you supermike, but I've seen that kind of response online quite a bit). I mean sure, it's not high art. But is it really worse than housewives who scream at each other or dudes who outbid each other for storage lockers? I will admit that some of the judges can be annoying and some of the production choices don't always make sense, but the basic fun in this show is to just hear some people sing some songs and try to guess who they are. I don't think the show is supposed to be taken so seriously. Dickies has the right idea to just watch it with others and make it a little game for bragging rights. Out of all the shows my gf watches, this one is much easier to tolerate than others.
Fair enough, but it seemed implied. I'm fine with being wrong... But if so, then what is your reasoning for thinking its existence is a negative thing, and why does it being popular bother you?I did not say it's stupid. Not at all.
I also didn't say it necessarily was negative. I said it bugged me.. Why? Well I said I'm not entirely sure, so I can't really articulate. I hate american idol..I mean I absolutely despise it..and those shows mentioned before? Real Housewives? Locker room stuff? No thanks... Maybe because I see these "singing" shows as ruining music? I don't know. But it bugs me, a whole lot.Fair enough, but it seemed implied. I'm fine with being wrong...

To be fair I'll tell you why I think shows about teen moms and 40 day finances shouldn't exist nor be popular... they're stupid. Just my opinion, of course.
Ha! I suppose all of us dumb dumbs need some form of silly entertainment. I should just shut up about the shows I think are stupid and stop groaning every time I see my gf watching teen mom reunion #136.I also didn't say it necessarily was negative. I said it bugged me..

NOW.....some would could and have said that sports are equal to these shows. My wife has zero interest in sports and feels those who watch it are dumb dumbs.
Earache my Eyethey said that last year and while they did have actual singers who won or were nominated for a lot of those awards, they also counted the wins and nominations for Cheech & Chong albums (which I don't think are musical, although I've never listened to them).
Agree with Daughtry. And I’d be shocked if the fox isn’t Wayne Brady.Finale on now...any guesses?
I'm going with Jamie Foxx, Fantasia, and Chris Daughtry.
Ok, after the winner just sang after the reveal, I take this back.This is just my 2nd time watching the show. There’s no chance they’re actually signing live, right? I mean, it’s pretty easy to lip sing when you have a mask on.
In the first season, when they didn't have as good as singers on, they would blare the backing vocals or whatever it's called so that it would drown out the contestants voice. You'd hear them a little, but that backing vocal track would nullify a lot of the imperfections.This is just my 2nd time watching the show. There’s no chance they’re actually signing live, right?

No clue who she was. I told my daughter it was a "Cheetah Girl" and she rolled her eyes and knew who it was immediately.I knew the dog was Daughtry the 3rd week. Such a distinct voice. The GF guessed Wayne Brady a week before Robin Thick did. Neither of us ever heard of the Flamingo chick.
The problem is they need them to be obscure. The first season, they said they were too easy. They don't want people to know until the reveal. They want you to guess. I would think that if you can guess who the star is, the producers aren't very happy.The clue packages are junk. Most of the clues are so obscure, theres no way anyone is putting those together to figure out who they are. Daughtry brought a vacuum on stage as a clue, because he sold vacuums at one point on his life. How could anyone know that unless they were a superfan or something. Stupid.
Come on the producers definitely tell them who is in the costume. No way they'd let them look like fools guessing wrong every time. That said, I was pretty sure on Oladipo weeks ago but I had the Orlando clue, athlete, rehab, and good singer as clues.I knew the dog was Daughtry the 3rd week. Such a distinct voice. The GF guessed Wayne Brady a week before Robin Thick did. Neither of us ever heard of the Flamingo chick.
You didn't ask me, and I've probably already said this in here...but for me the heightened celebration of celebrity culture is a bad thing.Fair enough, but it seemed implied.

I'm always kind of surprised when I hear him referred to as a "reality star celebrity." He was super famous way before he did The Apprentice. (I almost didn't comment on this because I'm afraid it'll spiral out into a political argument, so hopefully the FFA can prove me wrong*.)You didn't ask me, and I've probably already said this in here...but for me the heightened celebration of celebrity culture is a bad thing.
Reality shows started out as interesting to me...variety of concepts that showed a slice of society we might not see. Get to learn about people and thought from different ethnic/regional/societies.
But that wasn't good enough for viewers, so we had to manufacture conflict to get them fighting and create good guys and bad guys. That's when it went South for me. That they're also doing life altering important things like having kids as teens or getting married to strangers as so called entertainment quite frankly disgusts me.
But now even that's not good enough...now we can only watch people we've watched before somewhere....doing stupid #### badly to marginally. This need and reliance on a recognizable brand or celebrity shows a collective lack and fear of original thought that scares me for the future of our society. That people like the Kardashians and housewives and somebody like Trump are celebrated genuinely feels like the coming of the Apocalypse to me.
I had a concentration in archaeology in college...I learned that the archaeological record always reflected the beginning of the decline and end of civilizations with a marked decline of their arts, crafts and architecture. To me, all of the shows is that decline- one that future historians will look to as the turning point for the US.
I can definitely see how you could read it that way, but I included him as part of the "heightened celebration of celebrity culture" more than as a reality TV star....even though he was that as well. Arnold too. People need a recognized brand to be comfortable and safe, even if that brand may just be built on a sex tape or somebodys highly publicized business dealings- good and terribly bad. That driving fear and desperate need for the recognizable is what I'm talking about.I'm always kind of surprised when I hear him referred to as a "reality star celebrity."

* HAHAHA. Just kidding. I know the FFA can't not get political.
if i killed ken jeong, somehow i’d go to prison.So I caught the S3 premiere after the Super Bowl last weekend - had heard of it but never watched it before. Went back on Hulu and skimmed through the first two seasons just to get a feel for what type of celebrities/singers they're pulling. Definitely a show you should DVR, just watch the performances, then see the reveal. An excruciating amount of time wasted in this show. Rabbit sings, then they let each judge ramble on about some obscure reference they saw in the clues video and why they think this person is the 4th most popular Backstreet Boy. Then they announce the Rabbit is in the bottom 2, so he sings again. Then the judges ramble on again and guess the same as they did 5 minutes ago. Then it's announced that the Rabbit is eliminated. BUT WAIT, before we take his mask off, let's go to the judges to see who they think it is....
Yup. And how does he keep making it through? Him and Tommy Chong are the only two I've guessed correctly so far.White Tiger is so obviously
.Gronk
I guessed it was him within like the first 3 seconds of the character being on screen, it's hilarious how obvious it is.Yup. And how does he keep making it through? Him and Tommy Chong are the only two I've guessed correctly so far.
