2. The Masked Singer

🎭 “The Masked Singer” has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, but that does not excuse its ridiculousness. The show is basically a game of “guess who” with celebrities dressed in ridiculous costumes. It’s a cheap gimmick that seems to have worked out well for the network, but for anyone with actual taste in entertainment, it’s just a terrible show.
