Clues

Week	Clue
1	"I'm Mullet, just a knockabout bloke surprised to be here! I've spent years by the water and I’ve had my fair share of battles. Those night vision goggles belong to the army! I like the spotlight, but I've had more than a few sleepless nights. My answer is to take the show on the road. I’m not really into strict routines. I prefer to improvise. I know it’s not the way to make a big hit but beggars can't be choosers. I’ve never really been the boss but I have been known to take your breath away. That’s official. I’m the Mullet and I reckon I’ve got this singing thing nailed."
	"I'm just your average Mullet, but I’m okay if you’re okay. As someone once told me, if you like it you better put a ring on it. Sometimes you have your eye on something shiny….but it’s not as good as you hope. No matter how far you travel, you can’t leave the real you behind. I’m a jack-of-all-trades. I’ve even taken on the Chinese! Not as a comedian, but you could call me something close. I might be a mullet but don’t underestimate me. My intelligence isn’t artificial….and way better than 20! As a fish, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I’m the Mullet, and I’m beside myself with excitement!"
2	"I might be a Mullet but I’m not hard-headed like others I know. The night sky is so beautiful. But I prefer the sunshine. I love it like a sibling. I’m no superhero. Just a fish trying to eke out a living in a hostile environment. There’s no shame in that. I was number one once, y’know. But I wasn’t wearing flannelette at the time. Mullets go in and out of fashion. But lucky for me, I’ve got more than 1 string to me bow. I’m Mullet and I’ve got this competition hook, line and sinker!"
3	"I might be just a Mullet but I’m evolving. Do I need a lighthouse? Nah, it just keeps me awake. You know, I’ve done it all from Z to A, except D, maybe I need a new agent? I had plans, they didn’t always work out. And sometimes that’s a good thing! It’s not like I have satellite navigation. Watch out for the beach! A schoolyard game, this fish doesn’t like schools! I prefer herds. Look at that! At least it’s better than eight. I’m the Mullet and I’m going to rock this competition!"
	"I’m a Mullet, you wouldn’t expect me to sing… but you wouldn’t expect me to teach cats to talk proper neither. I wasn’t always going to be a mullet, you know. I was growing up to be a trumpetfish. But that’s okay. I really do like a surprise. There are no walls between us here. I’ve swum with the biggest sharks in the business. I survived. For $8 an hour plus tips. Now scatter. I’m Mullet royalty. A duke! Or maybe an ambassador. And I’m OK with that. I’ve been putting wins in the W column since I was born, isn’t that right Hughesy? And it’s going to be another W tonight!"
4	"I’m Mullet and tonight’s gonna be another 10 out of 10, I reckon. I don’t have ‘unearthly’ powers like the others, but I’m not here to make up the numbers. Bait is dangled often in front of me. I’ve learned to wait and watch. I’ve got a lot of tools on my belt. And in a former life, not just tools. But I’m more reliable now. Us Mullets don’t have a lot of secrets. And you can’t pull the wool over our eyes. We’re real strict about that. I’m Mullet and I’m gonna school the other Masked Singers tonight."
	"From the moment I became the Mullet I became the Mullet! How much of this performance is me and how much is the mask? I really don’t know. This outlandish but brave mask let me act out in ways most of us don’t anymore and a lot of us miss. Mullet isn’t just me mask, he’s me mate! I’d love a quiet chat with him after tonight is over, but Mullet is never quiet!"

Final Words
"I love to take risks, ever since I was a wee little Mullet. Although my risk-taking has got me into a bit of trouble in the past, I have matured and calmed down a little. I won’t lie, I still want to push boundaries. You see, no matter how I change, music is who I am at heart."
