A razor-sharp Buddy Vedder has caused astonishment among competitors Carlo Boszhard and Loretta Schrijver tonight by being the only one to guess which celebrity was hiding behind the costume of the mysterious Mummy in The Masked Singer. The man in the suit had hoped no one would guess right away, but Buddy outsmarted everyone.
In The Masked Singer Unrecognizable disguised celebrities perform who are usually not known to be able to sing. The teams of Gerard Joling and Vedder and of Boszhard and Schrijver have to guess who is hiding behind the outfits. They listen to the voice, but mainly rely on hints from proposal videos.
The panel knew one thing for sure during the performance: with such a nice voice, it was definitely a professional singer. In the video, Mummy said he was coming to “flavor” the competition, which immediately made Buddy and Gerard think they were dealing with a TV chef. Rudolph van Veen perhaps, or Hugo Kennis?
Mummy also said he was part of a duo, which brought Gerard to Ray Slijngaard, who was in 2 Unlimited with Anita Doth. Carlo just called Simon Keizer, half of Nick & Simon.
Or was it RTL Boulevardreporter Aran Bade, since Mummy stated he was making a comeback on the show? Bade was featured as a reporter at . last year The masked singer. And in Mummy’s video came a Boulevardmug in the picture. But when asked if he’s ever interviewed stars, he said no. Further hints were that he was born on an island, speaking is silver for him and silence is gold, a flag with Olympic rings and a compass pointing north.
Carlo eventually bet his money on Hugo Kennis, while Loretta suddenly thought she saw Dennis Weening under the mummy bandage just before the final guess. Gerard didn’t remember at all and randomly named Rob Kamphues.
It was all wrong. The celebrity in Mummy appeared to have formed a duo twice, on the radio, with Dionne Stax and Mischa Blok. He did indeed make a comeback because he was already a reporter on the program last year, but was not Aran Bade. The native island was not exotic, but Goeree-Overflakkee. The ‘speak is silver’ referred to the time the Dutch celebrity The traitors won and with it a pile of silver. The compass to the north was about Kamp Noord, where he stayed during his participation in Expedition Robinson. The Olympic flag is a great fit for him, because he reported on it so often.
And flavor that? You do that with pepper. Van Peperstraten. Toine van Peperstraten. Buddy had it all figured out and was the only one who guessed right. Carlo was visibly disappointed that he hadn’t been so smart himself, but gave all the credit to his colleague. ,,This is unbelievable,” exclaimed Loretta.
Toine himself was disappointed that he had already died in his first episode. ,,I am disappointed that I was not allowed to showcase more. I would have loved to continue,” he said after the unveiling. ,,I always had to practice in silence on my own. I’m not a singer, so it’s a bit of a search of: does it sound good? I was quite satisfied with the end result, I thought: I can use it on the tube. I secretly hoped that no one would recognize it.”
So that kite didn’t fly. Toine, who is normally known as a fairly serious sports reporter, loved being able to go wild on stage. In fact, he confessed: “It tastes like more.”
