Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 10, Episode 3 of “The Masked Singer,” “NFL Night,” which aired Oct. 4 on Fox. “Vanderpump Rules” villain Tom Sandoval became perhaps the second-most hated person to be revealed in “The Masked Singer” history on Wednesday night. (The first, of course, will forever be American traitor and despicable human being Rudy Giuliani, who nearly destroyed “The Masked Singer” in Season 7.) Sandoval was unmasked as the Diver.
Ken Jeong got it right, for the second week in a row, with Tom Sandoval. Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg thought it was Sandoval as well. Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger both went with Pauly D.
Sandoval’s identity was probably the worst-kept secret of “The Masked Singer” Season 10, as fans of the show (and anti-fans of Sandoval) quickly sniffed out his participation. (Variety previously wrote about it here.) Sandoval as Diver sang “I Ain’t Worried,” by One Direction, for his performance. (Turns out, he should have been.) Here was his clue package voiceover: “Making my debut as the Diver last week was so rewarding.
It felt great to get all the love from the panel and the audience. Something, as you know, I haven’t gotten much of lately. As a kid, I always wanted to be famous.
I modeled, I acted and of course, sang. I was always waiting to become a household name. I just didn’t know it would be everyone hating me.
But I’m here to show the world that I’m more than my mistakes. Being here already feels like a healing experience. Getting to share my talent instead of my drama is exactly what I needed.
