‘The Masked Singer’ Spoilers: Could Rhino Be Country Singer Sam Hunt?
On Wednesday night, The Masked Singer introduced viewers to six more contestants — Night Angel, Bear, Rhino, Astronaut, T-Rex, and Swan.
One masked celebrity that has a lot of people talking is Rhino, who has a familiar voice. They appear to be a male singer with great vocals, one who has likely been heard on the radio before. For their debut performance, they sang “Have A Little Faith In Me” By John Hiatt and nailed it. Panelist Nicole Scherzinger was touched by Rhino’s first performance and the crowd cheered them on.
For their first clue package, they explained that they have appeared on many magazine covers and had been the “toast of the town every week.” They became addicted to being on top of everything before they “crashed and burned.” Rhino pushed people close to them away, has a connection to Nashville, the famed Grand Ole Opry, and potentially rides a motorcycle.
According to Good Housekeeping, the judges believe Rhino is a professional athlete. However, fans of the show have come up with other guesses that are not related to sports.
Some believe John Travolta could be Rhino, given that he can act, dance, and sing. Rhino appears to be very tall and Travolta is 6-feet-2-inches.
Another guess among viewers is country singer Sam Hunt, who is 6-feet-3-inches, per Celeb Heights. The “Break Up in a Small Town” hitmaker has performed at the Grand Ole Opry and rides a motorcycle in his music video for his song “Downtown’s Dead,” which links to one of the clues in the package. The “crashed and burned” reference could be in relation to Hunt getting arrested last year for DUI, per The Tennessean.
On social media, Hunt seems to be a popular choice.
“I’m going to go with Sam Hunt for the Rhino @MaskedSingerFOX. He’s 6’3. He used to play sports and tried to go professional. He also had some recent troubles,” one user wrote.
“I am convinced the #MaskedSinger Rhino is Sam Hunt,” another shared.
“I think it’s Sam Hunt. Voice is identical, he’s 6’3 and was arrested last year for DUI,” remarked a third fan.
“#RhinoMask I think is Sam Hunt #TheMaskedSinger,” a fourth account tweeted.
Rhino remains in the competition, which means viewers will have to keep watching to find out if the “Body Like a Back Road” singer is really underneath the costume.
At the end of the last episode, the Bear was eliminated and unmasked. The panelists failed to guess their identity correctly and were just as shocked as the audience and Nick Cannon when it was revealed to be former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
