It’s the biggest show on Aussie TV, however allegations have emerged that The Masked Singer is rigged.
“They’re evicting people based on their celebrity status,” an insider dishes. “Their plan is to get rid of the least famous people first and save the bigger names until the end so they can build up hype around the show and keep audiences intrigued.”

The insider also alleges the voting order is predetermined “well ahead of time” and audience votes don’t count for anything. “It’s a complete gimmick,” they reveal.
“They don’t actually count [the votes]. That’s why they never bother to show the percentage of votes.”
It’s not the first time the show has been accused of being fake, with viewers suggesting on social media that the celebrities weren’t actually performing their songs live.
Viewers were quick to slam the singers on social media, suggesting they weren’t actually performing their songs live.
“Every single one of those performers was lip-syncing. There is no way they could sing so clearly from underneath that big heavy mask,” one user wrote.

“Everyone knows that no-one in singing live on this s**t right? Literally the worst show on TV,” another said.
The show was a hit in the US, but it also sparked controversy there when fans questioned if the stars were really singing behind the costumes.
Despite the speculation, celebrity judge Jackie ‘O’ Henderson is adamant that they are singing live.
“They are singing live – 100 per cent fact,” she told The Advertiser.
But the singers weren’t the only ones blasted for being fake – an insider source tells New Idea that the judges are ‘acting’ and already know who is behind the masks.
“I do know that Lindsay Lohan is given all the answers as she doesn’t know anyone or recognise any voices!” the source claims. “If none of them can guess, they all get handed a list of five names with one correct one so the episode can end.”
