Week Clues
1 “Hey, y’all! I’m out of the water and ready to sing. It’s the superstar fish herself... Pufferfish! This fishy has swapped out the nice warm ocean for the blocks of the real world. Wow, I heard the Empire State was too good to miss out on! Don’t get me wrong, the Brits hold a special place in my heart, too. Back in the sea, I didn’t go to no Ivy League College. It was just a regular school for fish. And that is where I found my groove. Lucky for me, I’m a speedy learner, and it runs in the family, too. One thing I will never get used to up here is being so close to the sky... I just find myself constantly dazzled by all the stars.”
2 “It’s safe to say my first performance went swimmingly! The panel have “no-fin” on me just yet. And I’m puffed up with pride to have made it through. Man, I’m so excited to be here. I can’t believe the panel haven’t twigged yet. This puffer loves swimming in different water. I would say the Italian coast fills my gills with glee! I am no one-hit wonder. I have skimmed stones on various waters. Since I don’t live underwater anymore, not much has changed. Well, apart from the walking. I have worked with some fantastic fish in my time. They really know how to get my good side. Sometimes working with my g”glam squid” can be a battle, but there’s no bad blood here, we all have a chuckle. People tried to catch me out in the past, but good luck! I never take the bait.”
4 "This pufferfish is blown away to still be here, I have a feeling things are only gonna get stranger. Ay caramba! That was hard! Want a bit of advice? Never sleep on this fish. I often have to check myself in the mirror just to make sure the fit is just right. Saying that, I sometimes jest that I have “no-fin“ to wear. Don't worry, I'm not a wolf in fish clothing, gang. I'm just a pufferfish! What you see is what you get. As a fish, I'm used to being wet, but I find a coat always comes in handy. This fish must admit, I do love having my picture taken. I'm a sucker for staring straight down a lens and getting my pose on. Right, time to show you what I'm made of!"
5 “It’s so great to still be here, but I’m not off the hook just yet! After last week’s performance, I took a good hard look at myself in the mirror. Mirror will my dreams come true? It’s a miracle I’m still here, the Angelfish must be looking over me. You humans are obsessed with me, I get snappered so often. This fish gets FOMO, so it’s been hard to bridge a gap between the land and the sea but I’m having a ton of fun trying. The Masked Singer kingdom is just so magical, yes I’ve had many successes but it all boils down to good old-fashioned hard work. I believe I’m a born performer, I always destined to be in the spotlight, maybe next time I’ll be lucky as fingers crossed. It’s been a mission surviving this competition, so I’d better stop flapping and get on with it!“
6 “OMG! This Fish has scaled new heights and made it to the Semi-Final! Yes! Things got a bit tense last week, but I feel like the world is my oyster now. I’ve gotta remember to not stop believing in myself. Being a pop princess means my life is full of action, which is great as it’s never a drag. Though I’m usually splashing about solo, I like to mix things up with my performances. I don’t really share the stage with Fish, I like to jam with Crows in the garden too. This fishy may be here for only one more night, so I need to make it count!“
7 “It’s official! I’m in the Final, woohoo! I wanna be on that stage till the very end of this competition. I have escaped being unmasked so far. What’s taken the panel so long? I don’t mean to blow my own trumpet, but when I perform, I totally royally the roof off, so much so, it gets freezing on the stage. This small fishy has been lucky enough to learn from many big fish. I hope my performance can hold a festive candle to them. I have loved the competition, but it’s almost over now. Though it might surprise you, I’m not sad, as music stole my heart in the end. I have been dreaming of this moment since I was small fry, and I will do anything it takes to win! Will I be the Catfish that gets the cream tonight? Well I am ready to show this Pufferfish is the real deal!“
