The Masked Singer’s Gumball may have come in second place, but many fans were convinced that he deserved to win the crown. The winner, revealed to be actress Vanessa Hudgens as the Goldfish, sparked controversy among viewers.
Gumball turned out to be actor Scott Porter, known for his roles in popular TV shows like Friday Night Lights, Ginny & Georgia, and Hart of Dixie. Despite dropping several hints throughout the season, the celebrity panel consisting of Rita Ora, Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, and Ken Jeong were unable to guess his identity.
Fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with many believing that Gumball was robbed of the victory. One fan wrote, “All I’m gonna say is that Gumball should have won.” Another disgruntled viewer added, “Gumball was robbed!”
During his final performance, Gumball opened up about his family’s musical background and shared that being on the show was a special experience for him. Porter admitted that he had no prior singing experience but was glad he took the chance to showcase his talent on The Masked Singer.
Throughout the season, Gumball dropped various clues about his identity, including references to his upbringing, work projects, and personal life. The judges made several guesses, with Rita Ora suggesting Chase Crawford or Aaron Taylor Johnson, while Robin Thicke threw out names like Kevin Jonas and Zachary Levi.
