Masked Singer Season 7 Promo Teases ‘Bombshell Moment’ In Episode 2

The Masked Singer has released a new teaser for season 7 episode 2, and fans are in for a “bombshell moment.” The show premiered its first episode of the season last week on FOX, and fans were introduced to Thingamabob, McTerrier, Cyclops, Firefly and Ram. The premiere was full of unexpected moments, with McTerrier’s mask falling off during his performance and Firefly choking during her song and having to be rushed off stage. Luckily, the contestant returned later and blew panelists and fans away with her rendition of “Ain’t Nobody” by Chaka Khan. Unfortunately, McTerrier was voted off the show and revealed himself to be pastry chef Duff Goldman.

After the premiere, some fans were confused as a rumored contestant was not eliminated as they expected. During filming for the first episode, news broke that former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani was revealed to be hiding behind one of the costumes. According to reports at the time, panelists Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke both stormed off stage in protest upon his reveal. After his involvement with Donald Trump’s attempts to overthrow the 2020 election, many fans were angry to hear that FOX would put such a controversial political figure on The Masked Singer. When he wasn’t revealed during the premiere episode, fans assumed the backlash had caused FOX to cut Rudy from the season. However, producers confirmed that the show doesn’t necessarily air episodes in the same order they were filmed, so the mayor will still be making an appearance, just in a different episode than expected.

Does that mean Rudy’s reveal is the “bombshell moment” teased in a promo for the second episode of The Masked Singer season 7? The teaser does not confirm either way, but it does suggest something happens that causes someone from the show to storm off. According to the promo, fans will see last week’s contestants return and an appearance from guest panelist Eric Stonestreet, who boldly proclaims he knows one of the performers. The teaser then tells fans, “Be there for the bombshell moment no one saw coming.” The video reveals Ken looking disappointed while host Nick Cannon slowly exits the stage. However, Jenny McCarthy stays put, announcing, “They just walked off the stage.“

The panelist’s comments fit with the rumors going around about Rudy’s appearance. According to reports, while Ken and Robin left the panelists’ table, Jenny and Nicole Scherzinger remained, conversing with the contestant until Ken and Robin returned. However, the promo confirms Eric’s guest appearance, and the rumors about Rudy did not mention the presence of a guest panelist during the reveal. The Masked Singer is known for tricking fans, so it’s also likely that the teaser could be referring to a different moment from the show.

One thing is for certain: fans are not excited about seeing the former mayor on The Masked Singer stage. As the show got fans excited about its premiere, many fans claimed they would be boycotting the season due to Rudy’s appearance. Luckily for FOX, the show has proven itself to be too addictive for anyone to look away from, and most fans still tuned in for the premiere. While fans speculate what the big moment from the new episode may be, those who disapprove of the mayor’s appearance may want to skip episode 2.

The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT on FOX.
