[Spoiler alert: The Masked Singer Season 11 spoilers ahead regarding Gumball.]
Who is Gumball in ‘The Masked Singer’ Season 11? Fans suspect it’s this ‘Friday Night Lights’ actor
The Masked Singer Season 11 Group B singers perform for the first time on “Wizard of Oz Night,” and fans can’t wait to see who stands out. The Group B singers include Afghan Hound, Gumball, Beets, and Miss Cleocatra, with Seal as the wild card.
An early preview shows Gumball singing “Heartbeat Song” by Kelly Clarkson. The singer has a rich, warm voice, and it’s clear he’s performed before. His performance includes elements of dance choreography with his backup dancers, and the song has the four panelists on their feet. At the end of the performance, the Gumball costume has a ball adorned with a heart coming out of the chute. Rita Ora takes it out of the costume and shows it to the camera.
So, who could be singing as Gumball this season? Fans think the clues point to Friday Night Lights actor Scott Porter.
“Just like The Tin Man, my heart took quite a beating, because my yellow brick road to success came with zero direction,” Gumball says in his clue package. He added that he did “anything and everything to get an audience, which once resulted in him getting booed off stage during a competition.
“Like a lot of us in Hollywood, I needed a little timing and a lot of luck, but look, I’m proof that even if your road isn’t paved with gold, as long as your heart is, you’ll find your way,” he continued.
Gumball likely goes very far in the competition
Fans suspect Gumball goes exceptionally far in The Masked Singer Season 11. He debuts his singing voice with the other Group B singers on “Wizard of Oz Night,” but he will likely move forward to the competition’s finals. Additionally, fans think that Fox accidentally leaked spoilers that suggest Gumball either wins or is the runner-up.
A user on Reddit posted a still from an early season promo that shows Nick Cannon removing Gumball’s mask. Confetti seems to surround Gumball, indicating that he’s the season’s winner or runner-up. Fans believe the other finalist with Gumball is Goldfish from the Group A singers.
‘Wizard of Oz Night’ features iconic costumes and LeAnn Rimes
The Masked Singer Season 11 Group B singers take the stage for “Wizard of Oz Night,” and the evening has plenty of other surprises aside from stellar performances and an unmasking. Country superstar LeAnn Rimes also takes the stage to sing “Over the Rainbow.” Rimes won season 4 of the series as the Sun.
The preview for the season shows all four panelists getting into character. Jenny McCarthy and Ken Jeong skip down the stage as Glinda the Good Witch and the Cowardly Lion, and newcomer Rita Ora is dressed as Dorothy.
“This season, the themes we have for you are magical,” Ora says. “Follow me down the yellow brick road to our Wizard of Oz theme night.”
The Masked Singer Season 11 airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
