Masked Singer Suomi is a Finnish reality singing competition television series adapted from the international Masked Singer franchise, in which celebrities perform in disguise as masked characters while a panel and audience attempt to guess their identities based on clues and performances.[1] The show premiered on MTV3 on 14 March 2020 and has become a staple of Finnish television, with contestants competing weekly until unmasked or eliminated, culminating in a winner who claims the golden mask.[2] As of November 2025, seven seasons have premiered, with the seventh currently ongoing; seasons typically feature around 12 contestants and air from spring or autumn to late in the year.[2] Hosted by comedian Ilkka Uusivuori since its debut, the program includes a recurring panel of judges who provide insights and guesses, with current panelists for season 7 consisting of Janne Kataja, Jenni Poikelus, and Benjamin Peltonen.[1] A notable element is the on-set "bodyguard" Glendon Stewart, who escorts the masked performers and adds to the show's theatrical flair.[1] The format emphasizes elaborate costumes, voice-altering masks, and riddle-like hints revealed before each performance, drawing from a variety of musical genres performed in Finnish and international hits.[3] Season 7, which began on 6 September 2025, features 13 episodes and continues to air weekly on Saturdays at 19:30 EET.[2] Past winners have included notable Finnish celebrities from music, acting, and sports, highlighting the show's appeal in unmasking familiar figures in unexpected ways.[4] Produced by FremantleMedia Finland, Masked Singer Suomi streams episodes on the MTV Katsomo platform, maintaining high viewership through its blend of mystery, music, and celebrity reveals.[5]

Format

Rules and gameplay

In Masked Singer Suomi, a group of well-known Finnish celebrities are selected as contestants, with their identities concealed through elaborate full-body costumes and masks that also alter their voices during performances. These participants, drawn from diverse fields such as music, entertainment, and sports, perform songs anonymously under fictional character names, aiming to showcase their singing abilities while maintaining secrecy.[6] The gameplay revolves around weekly studio-recorded episodes where all remaining contestants perform individually, typically singing popular songs in a studio setting. Clues about each contestant's identity—delivered through videos, packages, or visual hints—are presented before and after performances to aid guessing, though the primary focus is on vocal talent. In early episodes, performances may include group elements or themed rounds, but the core structure emphasizes solo showcases as the competition progresses.[6] Voting occurs immediately after the performances, combining input from the live studio audience and home viewers via phone, app, or online platforms, with the combined tally determining results. The contestant receiving the fewest votes each week is eliminated and must unmask to reveal their identity, while the others advance. In some episodes, the panel of experts may unanimously activate a special button to force an early unmasking of a suspected contestant before the full vote, adding a strategic element.[7] The competition progresses through successive elimination rounds, narrowing the field over 10 to 13 episodes per season until reaching the semifinals and a grand final featuring the top three or four performers. In the finale, contestants deliver final performances, and the winner is decided by a decisive public vote, crowned as the season's champion without needing to unmask until the end.[7] Across seasons, minor variations have been introduced, such as increasing the number of contestants from 12 in early seasons to 14 or 16 in later ones, and incorporating "clue songs"—original compositions hinting at identities—in select episodes starting from Season 6 (e.g., the Clue Songs themed week in Week 7 of Season 6). In Season 7, a new 'Poista maski' button allows the panel to unanimously force an early unmasking; a wrong guess grants the contestant immunity for that episode.[8]

Costumes and clues

In Masked Singer Suomi, contestants perform in elaborate full-body costumes that represent fictional characters, animals, or objects, designed to completely conceal their identities while allowing for dynamic stage movement. The production team, led by costume designer Merja Thil for the first five seasons, collaborates closely with participants during initial meetings to incorporate artist input and ensure the disguises align with the show's secretive format. These costumes are crafted over 2–3 weeks each, involving custom tailoring, padding to alter body shapes (such as adding stomach padding for taller celebrities up to 190 cm), and rigorous testing for durability and comfort during choreography. Thil, a seasoned tailor with experience from institutions like the Finnish National Theatre, emphasizes functionality, noting the physical demands of the process as a "hate-love relationship" with the characters.[9] Clues are delivered primarily through pre-recorded video packages aired before each performance, featuring riddles, symbolic imagery, and distorted voiceovers that hint at the celebrity's career, personal life, or achievements without direct revelation. These packages, produced by the show's team, integrate visual metaphors and narrative elements tailored to the Finnish context, maintaining the international franchise's emphasis on misdirection. Voice distortion technology is applied to all audio clues and live singing to further obscure identities, ensuring guesses rely on interpretation rather than recognition. In later seasons, such as Season 6 onward, additional on-stage elements have been introduced, including performances with altered song lyrics or props that provide subtle hints during the act itself.[3][10] The post-unmasking reveal occurs immediately after elimination or in the finale, where the losing or final contestant removes their mask on stage amid host narration and panel reactions, confirming their identity to the audience. The celebrity typically shares a brief reaction, reflecting on the experience and verifying how clues tied to their life, often expressing surprise at the disguise's effectiveness—such as the annual shock from the internal heat despite warnings. This moment culminates in applause and sometimes a short unmasked performance, reinforcing the reveal's celebratory tone.[3][10] Over the seasons, costume quality has evolved from foundational designs in Season 1 (premiering in spring 2020) to increasingly intricate and thematic creations by Season 7 (airing in late 2025), with Thil handling solo efforts initially before Katja Rautajoki joined for Season 6 amid Thil's health challenges and partial retirement. Early costumes focused on basic concealment and mobility, while later iterations incorporated more advanced padding and reflect growing production expertise. Clue complexity has similarly progressed, shifting from straightforward riddles to multifaceted packages with layered symbolism, and incorporating on-stage integrations in recent years to heighten viewer engagement without compromising the core mystery.[9][11]

Cast

Host

Ilkka Uusivuori, a prominent Finnish television presenter born on August 26, 1980, has served as the sole host of Masked Singer Suomi since its premiere in spring 2020, continuing through Season 7 in autumn 2025.[1][12][13] His career includes hosting major programs such as X Factor Finland, Uutisvuoto, and the Eurovision national selections UMK, establishing him as a versatile figure in Finnish entertainment known for his engaging on-screen presence.[14][15][16] In his role, Uusivuori introduces the masked contestants, oversees their performances, announces panel and audience votes, leads the unmasking ceremonies, and conducts post-reveal interviews with the celebrities.[17][18] He also maintains the show's pace during clue presentations and guessing segments, ensuring smooth transitions in the live format.[19] Uusivuori's hosting style is characterized by humorous banter with the panelists and audience, often lightening tense reveal moments with witty commentary, as seen in his surprised reaction to unmasking his own wife in Season 2.[18][20] This approach has contributed to the show's family-friendly appeal, including during specials like the 2024 Pelastakaa Lasten Joulu charity episode, where he guided the festivities without guest hosts.[12][17] His occasional participation, such as singing in openings, further enhances the interactive and entertaining atmosphere.[20]

Panelists

The panel for Masked Singer Suomi consists of a core group of entertainment personalities tasked with dissecting performance clues, proposing celebrity identities, voting to eliminate one contestant per episode, and revealing their final guesses immediately after each unmasking. Their discussions often feature lively, humorous banter that highlights their collective expertise in Finnish music, television, and pop culture, contributing to the show's engaging atmosphere.[21][22] The inaugural season in spring 2020 featured three regular panelists: comedian and host Janne Kataja, actress and comedian Jenni Kokander, and journalist Maria Veitola.[23][24] For season 2 in autumn 2020, actor and comedian Christoffer Strandberg joined as the fourth permanent member, expanding the group to analyze an increased number of clues and performances.[25][21] This quartet—Kataja, Kokander, Veitola, and Strandberg—remained intact through seasons 3 and 4. Maria Veitola served as a panelist from seasons 1 through 6.[8] Significant shifts occurred starting with season 5 in 2023, when Kokander and Strandberg departed, replaced by actress Jenni Poikelus and singer Benjamin Peltonen; Kataja and Veitola continued, maintaining continuity while infusing new energy from theater and music backgrounds.[26] For season 7 in autumn 2025, Veitola stepped away due to production decisions, leaving a trio of Kataja, Poikelus, and Peltonen as the core panel, which has been noted for its streamlined yet dynamic interplay.[27][28] Across seasons, the panel's guessing accuracy has varied, with occasional spot-on predictions enhancing surprise unmaskings and frequent near-misses fueling ongoing speculation among viewers.[22] Occasional guest panelists appear in select episodes to offer specialized insights, such as musical analysis or celebrity connections, refreshing the regular group's perspectives. In season 1's finale, Apocalyptica cellist Eicca Toppinen joined, leveraging his rock expertise to dissect vocal styles.[23] Season 7 has featured guests like radio host Ville "Viki" Eerikkilä and podcaster Juuso "Köpi" Kallio, who contributed humorous pop culture references and audience-relatable guesses in early episodes.[29]

The narrative emphasized themes of surprise reveals and musical prowess, with wildcard elements adding unpredictability to eliminations.[57][58] Note: Wiki cited only for contestant count verification, but primary from news. Viewership for the season showed a decline in audience engagement compared to earlier outings, with the premiere episode drawing approximately 670,000 viewers, lower than the million-plus averages of prior seasons. Social media feedback highlighted peaks of interest in early reveals but overall declines, as many viewers described the season as lackluster and repetitive, criticizing the clue presentation and pacing. Despite this, the finale maintained solid interest among loyal fans, underscoring the show's enduring appeal in Finnish entertainment. Production elements included enhanced clue videos with more narrative depth, though no major technological overhauls were reported.[59][60]

Season 6 (2024)

The sixth season of Masked Singer Suomi premiered on MTV3 on 31 August 2024 and concluded with its finale on 16 November 2024, spanning 12 weeks of competition.[61] The season featured 12 initial masks, with additional wildcards like Metsäpeikko joining mid-season in week 5, adding unpredictability to the eliminations and allowing late entrants to influence the competition dynamics.[62] This structure heightened viewer engagement by introducing fresh narratives and performances as the field narrowed from group battles to semifinals.

In the finale, wildcard Metsäpeikko emerged as the winner, securing the golden mask after a season that showcased diverse Finnish celebrity talent and creative staging.[62] The victory of a mid-season addition underscored the thematic impact, as it rewarded adaptability in themed challenges and surprised panelists who had favored early frontrunners. Production enhancements, including the first dedicated Halloween and Eurovision episodes, aimed to boost viewer immersion and seasonal relevance, contributing to sustained high engagement throughout the run. The season's ratings remained strong, averaging over 400,000 viewers per episode, with peaks during themed weeks that aligned with cultural holidays. A post-season holiday special in collaboration with Pelastakaa Lapset ry, featuring returning masks and new festive characters like Lumiukko, extended the momentum into December, tying into Christmas programming and amplifying overall impact through charitable tie-ins. This special drew additional viewership by blending competition nostalgia with holiday themes, reinforcing the format's seasonal appeal.[67]

The season introduces unique format tweaks, such as a one-time "remove mask" button for the panelists per season—correctly guessing a contestant's identity forces an immediate unmasking, while an incorrect guess advances that performer safely. Additionally, clue videos employ a hybrid of live-action and AI-generated animation, sparking debate over production choices but enhancing the whimsical storytelling. One contestant is a returning participant from a prior season, heightening intrigue among clues.[28][68] Viewership has remained robust, with episodes consistently topping weekly charts; for instance, recent broadcasts have drawn around 974,000 linear TV viewers, supplemented by strong streaming reach on MTV Katsomo totaling over 1.5 million unique viewers across the season so far.

Four masks took the stage for live performances, judged by a studio audience vote that determined advancement or elimination.

Shamaani, portraying a mystical shaman figure adorned with deer antlers and bones, was the first to be eliminated after receiving the lowest audience votes. The mask's performance of Vesala's upbeat track was praised for enthusiasm but critiqued for vocal inconsistencies. Upon unmasking, Shamaani was revealed as Pekka Pouta, a well-known Finnish meteorologist and television presenter, whose public persona as a weather expert contrasted with the singing challenge. Pouta later reflected on the experience as unexpectedly nerve-wracking, noting the physical discomfort of the costume but appreciating the opportunity to step outside his professional comfort zone. The episode drew strong viewership, averaging over 500,000 viewers, and sparked widespread social media discussion about the clues and guesses from the panel.

Week 2 (21 March)

The second episode of the first season of Masked Singer Suomi aired on 21 March 2020 on MTV3, featuring performances from additional masks including Leijona (Lion), Peacock, Pupu (Bunny), Kisu (Kitty), Söpö (Cutie), and Alien.[80] These performers presented elaborate costumes and voice-altered renditions of popular songs, accompanied by cryptic clues about their identities, such as Alien's hint at a multimedia career focused on love and fearlessness in extreme environments.[72] Notable performances included Peacock's dramatic take on "Amaranth" by Nightwish and Alien's energetic delivery of "Oi Beibi" by Raptori, which showcased the contestants' vocal ranges despite the disguises.[80][72] The judging panel, comprising regulars Janne Kataja, Jenni Kokander, and Maria Veitola alongside guest panelist Aki Linnanahde, offered guesses ranging from media personalities to musicians, with Veitola correctly suspecting Jungner for Alien based on the clues.[80][72] At the episode's conclusion, viewers voted via SMS to determine advancement, resulting in Alien receiving the lowest number of votes and facing elimination.[72] The unmasking revealed former politician and Social Democratic Party leader Mikael Jungner, a surprise to the panel and social media audiences, who praised his unexpected rapping skills as "harder than Cheek."[72] The broadcast attracted 1,021,000 viewers, solidifying the show's early popularity during the spring 2020 season.[81]

The unmasking revealed 2012 Miss Finland Sara Chafak, whose identity had been suspected by panelist Janne Kataja since the series premiere due to recognizable vocal traits and performance style. Chafak expressed surprise at the disguise's effectiveness in concealing her from close acquaintances. The episode attracted 1,025,000 viewers, marking strong continued interest in the format.[84][85][86]

Week 4 (4 April)

In the fourth episode of Masked Singer Suomi season 1, aired on 4 April 2020, the remaining nine contestants delivered live performances in elaborate costumes, with clues provided to hint at their identities. The studio audience voted after each set of performances, determining the contestant with the fewest votes for elimination and unmasking. The episode attracted 1.1 million viewers, marking it as the highest-rated program on MTV3 for the entire year according to audience measurement data from Finnpanel.[87] Notable performances included Leijona's charismatic take on Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," featuring dynamic hip movements that left the panelists—Janne Kataja, Jenni Kokander, Maria Veitola, and guest Jufo Peltomaa—visibly energized and commenting on the "hot" energy, with Veitola exclaiming about its impact on the audience's senses. Leijona also shared a clue: "Olen tottunut olemaan huomion keskipisteenä" (I am used to being the center of attention).[88] Peacock followed with a powerful rendition of "Titanium" by David Guetta featuring Sia, showcasing vocal range and stage presence.[89] Pupu, who had previously performed in earlier episodes, took the stage with Irwin Goodman's "Mikä on kun ei taidot riitä," incorporating humorous culinary-themed clues like dropped trays and clinking utensils that subtly nodded to a professional background in the kitchen.[90] The panel struggled throughout the episode to connect the clues, with guesses ranging widely but missing the mark on several identities. After voting, Pupu received the fewest votes and was eliminated. The unmasking revealed acclaimed chef Henri Alén, owner of the Helsinki restaurant Muru and known for his appearances on culinary shows. The panel was stunned, having failed to guess his identity despite clues like kitchen mishaps and a love for bold flavors; Alén later noted he had kept his participation secret even from his wife, finding the deception thrilling. He described the experience as nerve-wracking despite pre-recording songs in a studio after vocal lessons, and expressed interest in exploring singing further. Alén's reveal highlighted the show's ability to surprise with everyday celebrities outside typical entertainment circles.[74][91]

Week 5 (11 April)

In the fifth episode of Masked Singer Suomi season 1, aired on 11 April 2020, four remaining contestants performed, with the lowest vote-getter facing elimination. The panel consisted of regulars Janne Kataja, Jenni Kokander, and Maria Veitola, joined by guest Krista Siegfrids. Host Ilkka Uusivuori presented clue packages for each mask, emphasizing themes like personal motivations and hidden talents.[75] The performances featured a mix of Finnish hits and international classics, showcasing vocal versatility. Heinäseiväs (Haystack) delivered a smooth rendition of Kasmir's "Vadelmavene," switching to Finnish lyrics for the first time and earning praise for its emotional depth from the panel. Kana (Chicken) performed Kaija Koo's "Tinakenkätyttö," a nostalgic classic that highlighted her interpretive range, with Siegfrids speculating it pointed to a veteran performer. Ampiainen (Wasp) stunned with a powerful cover of Nancy Sinatra's "Bang Bang," leaving the panel momentarily silent due to its intensity and stage presence. Hevonen (Horse) tackled Neljä Ruusua's "Juppihippipunkkari," a high-energy rock track that contrasted his prior non-rap choices, impressing with confident delivery despite earlier genre shifts.[92][93][94]

Following audience voting, Hevonen received the fewest votes by a single tally and was eliminated. The reveal shocked the panel, particularly Veitola, who revealed herself as a longtime friend, colleague, and former boss of the celebrity beneath. Hevonen was unmasked as rapper Paleface (Toni Viljanen), who expressed delight at deceiving the panel for three weeks, noting the show's "insanely crazy" concept allowed him to demonstrate singing beyond hip-hop. Paleface credited the experience with pushing his boundaries, having previously performed Oasis's "Don't Look Back in Anger" and Post Malone's "Rockstar" in earlier episodes. The episode drew 456,000 viewers, maintaining strong ratings for MTV3.[75][95][96]

Week 6 (18 April)

Peacock opened with a powerful rock-infused cover of Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know," showcasing vocal range and emotional intensity that impressed the panel.[99] Kisu followed with an emotive interpretation of Erin's "Vanha sydän," a Finnish ballad, highlighting smooth phrasing and heartfelt delivery that drew praise for its tenderness.[100] Leijona delivered a charismatic rendition of Tom Jones's "Delilah," bringing dramatic flair and strong baritone tones to the classic hit.[101] Closing the performances, Söpö performed Antti Tuisku's upbeat "Rahan takii," incorporating playful energy despite the cumbersome costume, which featured a small 3 cm visibility slit.[76] Following the performances, viewer votes determined the results, with Söpö receiving the fewest and facing unmasking. The panel had speculated on Söpö's identity based on clues hinting at acting experience and vocal familiarity, but none correctly identified the contestant. Söpö was revealed to be Sami Uotila, a prominent Finnish actor best known for his long-running role as Aki Nikkinen in the soap opera Salatut elämät. Uotila later shared that performing in the restrictive costume was challenging, stating, "I focused only on not falling off the stage," and noted keeping his participation a secret from colleagues.[76] This elimination left seven contestants advancing to the next episode.

The returning masks also delivered fresh interpretations, contributing to the episode's diverse musical lineup.[205][211][212][213][214][215] Following the performances, viewer votes determined the elimination. Sammakko received the fewest votes and entered the unmasking round. The panel analyzed clues such as references to fashion and media, with Kataja, Kokander, Veitola, and Strandberg unanimously guessing the identity as fashion expert and journalist Sami Sykkö, known for his work as a TV personality and style commentator. Their prediction proved correct when Sykkö removed the mask, expressing disappointment at his early exit despite prior vocal training. Sykkö, a prominent figure in Finnish media, later noted the challenge of the disguise but appreciated the experience. The remaining 10 contestants advanced to the next episode.[215][216] The episode drew an average of 556,000 viewers, reaching a total audience of 835,000, according to official measurements for the 4+ demographic.

Timantti shone in a dramatic cover of "Let It Go" from the Disney film Frozen, performed by Idina Menzel, with sparkling visuals and clues about "glittering stages" and "voice acting" sparking guesses toward theater personalities. Fikkari closed the show with "Hei Rakas" by Behm, a contemporary Finnish pop track, but clues involving "directing lights" and "scripted surprises" failed to sway voters sufficiently.[218][219][220][221]

The panel's guesses varied widely, with Kataja suggesting Örkki might be musician Elias Kaskinen due to vocal timbre, while Veitola proposed Banaani as former ski jumper Janne Ahonen based on physicality clues— a prediction that proved prescient later in the season.

Tensions rose during deliberations, with Strandberg exclaiming "This is a miscarriage of justice!" upon Fikkari's elimination.[218][222] In a shocking reveal, Fikkari was unmasked as actress, director, and screenwriter Niina Lahtinen, known for her work in Finnish theater and television, including directing episodes of popular series. Lahtinen expressed disappointment at leaving early, noting the costume's restrictive nature had amplified her performance anxiety, but she appreciated the "deep shame" theme mirroring her career risks. The elimination surprised one panelist who had not anticipated her involvement, underscoring the show's knack for unexpected celebrity participants. Prior unmaskings that season included Kaappikello as chef Kari "Kape" Aihinen in episode 1 and Sammakko as fashion expert Sami Sykkö in episode 2, setting a pattern of diverse professions.

Sarvikuono rounded out the show with an upbeat number fitting its sporty persona, further fueling speculation about athletic or media figures.[225] Following the votes, Ritari landed in the bottom spot and faced elimination. The unmasking revealed Finnish iskelmä legend Eino Grön, an 80-year-old singer whose career began in 1957 with hits like "Liian paljon rahaa" and who holds the record as the oldest participant unmasked in the show's history up to that point.[224][225] Panelists reacted with shock and admiration; Kataja and Strandberg had accurately predicted Grön based on vocal timbre and clues referencing Porvoo roots and international travels, while Kokander guessed Matti Rönkä and Veitola suggested Mikko Alatalo.

The panel speculated on Timantti's identity, with guesses ranging from singers to actors based on clues about "shining stages" and musical backgrounds.[229] Timantti was unmasked as singer Janina Fry, known for her work in Finnish music and collaborations. The reveal surprised the panel, though Kataja had suspected a musical celebrity.

The first episode of the sixth season of Masked Singer Suomi, titled "Arvausharhailua" (Guessing Stumbles), aired on 31 August 2024 on MTV3. Hosted by Ilkka Uusivuori, it featured the panel of investigators consisting of Janne Kataja, Maria Veitola, Benjamin Peltonen, and Jenni Poikelus. The episode introduced the first six of twelve contestants, each performing in elaborate costumes representing Finnish-inspired or whimsical characters, while providing initial clues about their identities through video packages and onstage banter. The format followed the show's tradition, with performances followed by panel discussions and audience voting via app to determine advancement. The episode drew 402,000 viewers, marking a solid premiere for the season.[262] The contestants debuted with high-energy performances across genres, showcasing vocal talents and dance routines. The six masks were Kalakukko (a hybrid fish-rooster figure rooted in Finnish culinary tradition), Toukka (a multi-limbed caterpillar party enthusiast), Pellet (a duo of clowns with acrobatic flair), Pesukarhu (a playful raccoon linked to a mysterious "Kari"), Yö ja Päivä (a dual-faced sun-and-moon entity), and Tikkari (a bold, candy-themed boss figure). Clues hinted at personal quirks, such as Toukka's love for transformation and partying, Pesukarhu's connection to urban mischief, and Yö ja Päivä's enigmatic duality suggesting possibly one or two performers. No golden mask saves were used, keeping the focus on initial impressions.

Following the performances, the audience vote determined that Pellet, the clown duo known for hand-walking antics and a clue about avoiding being the "horse's rear end," received the fewest votes and faced elimination. The panel speculated on their identities, with guesses including the comedy duo Jutta and Juha Larm or Keke Leppänen and Mika Saukkonen; Maria Veitola's suggestion drew particular attention for its inaccuracy. Upon unmasking, Pellet were revealed as the YouTube creators Lakko (Eric Savolainen) and Herbalisti (Juuso Karikuusi), a popular Finnish duo known for humorous sketches and gaming content. The reveal surprised the panel, who had not anticipated internet personalities, and Savolainen and Karikuusi expressed enjoyment of the experience despite the early exit. The remaining five advanced to the next episode, setting up further clue reveals for the second group of contestants.[264][265]

Week 2 (7 September)

The second episode of Masked Singer Suomi's sixth season, titled "Henkilökohtainen hyökkäys" (Personal Attack), aired on 7 September 2024 on MTV3, drawing an average of 456,000 viewers.[266] Hosted by Ilkka Uusivuori, the episode featured the permanent panel of comedians Janne Kataja and Jenni Poikelus alongside singer Benjamin Peltonen, who continued to speculate on the celebrities behind the masks based on clues and performances. Six of the 12 initial contestants performed original songs or covers, with new clues provided to deepen the mystery of their identities. The episode emphasized personal vulnerabilities, as one panelist became emotional over the difficulty of the guesses.[267] The performances showcased a mix of Finnish pop, rock, and international hits, highlighting the contestants' vocal ranges while tying into thematic clues about their "personal attacks" or hidden traits. Raasu, a ragdoll character, opened with a vulnerable rendition of Anna Puu's "Säännöt rakkaudelle," accompanied by clues portraying them as a "Monday piece" (a flawed item) seen by 50,000 people on stage and possessing a shy personality.[266] Huisku, depicted as a whisk, followed with Matti ja Teppo's humorous "Kaiken takana on nainen," suggesting a behind-the-scenes role in entertainment. Tähkä, a corn cob figure, delivered Zen Café's "Löikö mörkö sisään?," evoking a sense of unexpected intrusion into their life. Minttu, a mint leaf mask, performed Robin's "Lintu," with hints of fleeting fame and natural elements. Luuranko, the skeleton, brought energy with Pharrell Williams' "Happy," cluing a joyful yet bony (fragile) public persona. Finally, Kakka, the poop emoji-inspired character, closed with Sini Sabotage's "Levikset repee," incorporating playful, messy clues about breaking norms.[266]

Following the performances, the studio audience voted via the MTV Katsomo app, placing Raasu in the bottom group alongside two others not specified in reports; Raasu received the fewest votes and advanced to the unmasking round.[266] The panel offered final guesses: Jenni Poikelus correctly identified Ellen Jokikunnas, a television presenter known for hosting shows like Unelmia Italiasta and Suomen huippumalli haussa, while Benjamin Peltonen suggested Pehmoaino (a musician), Janne Kataja proposed Suvi Teräsniska (a singer), and earlier speculation included Paula Vesala. Upon unmasking, Jokikunnas revealed she rarely sings even karaoke, crediting singer Hanna Pakarinen for encouraging her participation and expressing pride in overcoming her shyness.[268] The elimination surprised many, as Raasu's performance was noted for its emotional sincerity, setting a tone of unpredictability for the season.[266] The remaining 11 masks—Huisku, Kakka, Kalakukko, Luuranko, Minttu, Pesukarhu, Tikkari, Toukka, Tähkä, and Yö ja Päivä—advanced to the next episode.

Week 3 (14 September)

The third episode of Masked Singer Suomi's sixth season, titled "Metaforien maailma" (World of Metaphors), aired on 14 September 2024 on MTV3 and drew an audience of 732,000 viewers.[269] Hosted by Ilkka Uusivuori, the episode featured performances from five masked contestants, each delivering a song while providing clues about their identities through elaborate costumes, videos, and on-stage hints. The panel of detectives—Janne Kataja, Jenni Poikelus, Maria Veitola, and Benjamin—offered guesses based on vocal styles, clue interpretations, and metaphorical themes emphasizing duality, transformation, and hidden depths. Unlike previous episodes, no new contestants were introduced, focusing instead on advancing the remaining field after the prior week's elimination. The episode opened with Pesukarhu (Raccoon), whose clue package highlighted a nocturnal, mischievous lifestyle involving urban exploration and a love for shiny objects, suggesting a performer comfortable in the spotlight yet elusive. Pesukarhu performed "Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO, delivering an energetic, dance-heavy rendition that showcased confident stage presence and playful charisma, earning safe passage to the next round. Kalakukko (Fish Pie), drawing from Finnish culinary traditions, presented clues about rural roots, family gatherings, and a passion for motorcycles, evoking a grounded yet adventurous spirit. Their operatic take on "Italian yössä" by Waltteri Torikka blended classical flair with folk elements, impressing the panel with vocal range and securing advancement. Yö ja Päivä (Night and Day), embodying contrasting lifestyles, shared hints of balancing high-energy nightlife with serene daytime routines, including references to music production and emotional versatility. They tackled "Lokin päällä lokki" by Apulanta with a dynamic rock delivery, alternating between soft introspection and powerful choruses, which the detectives praised for its emotional depth and advanced them safely. Toukka (Caterpillar) followed, with clues centering on transformation and creativity, mentioning design work, family influences, and a reluctance to rush personal growth—metaphors for emerging from a cocoon. Toukka's performance of "Haluun takas mun perhoset" by pehmoaino was a heartfelt pop ballad, highlighting vulnerable vocals and subtle emotional layering that resonated with the theme of change, allowing them to proceed. The episode's tension built to Tikkari (Lollipop), whose vibrant, candy-themed clues alluded to a sweet yet bold personality, multitasking in entertainment, and a history of competitive singing, with hints of youthful energy and viral moments. Tikkari brought high-octane fun to "Pump Up the Jam" by Technotronic, featuring synchronized dances and infectious enthusiasm that energized the audience but ultimately led to their elimination via public vote. In the unmasking, Tikkari removed their mask to reveal Finnish singer and television personality Emma Kimiläinen, known for her runner-up finish on The Voice of Finland in 2013 and subsequent hits like "Missä muruseni on." The panel had speculated names including pop artists and influencers, with Kataja suggesting a younger celebrity tied to social media fame, but none pinpointed Kimiläinen exactly; Veitola noted the voice's familiarity from reality TV. Kimiläinen expressed surprise at the early exit but enjoyment of the disguise's freedom in an post-reveal interview. The episode concluded with the remaining contestants advancing, setting up further metaphorical explorations in subsequent weeks.

Week 4 (21 September)

In the fourth episode of Masked Singer Suomi's sixth season, aired on 21 September 2024, five masked contestants performed original songs while the detective panel—consisting of Maria Veitola, Benjamin Peltonen, Janne Kataja, and Jenni Poikelus—offered guesses based on clues and vocal styles. The episode, titled "Ernest Lawson," featured no overarching theme and drew 651,000 viewers, marking a solid performance for the series on MTV3.[270][271] The performances showcased a mix of Finnish pop, rock, and international hits, with contestants interpreting the songs through their elaborate costumes. Tähkä delivered a heartfelt rendition of "Kohti sydänpeltoja" by Vesterinen Yhtyeineen, emphasizing emotional depth in its folk-rock style. Minttu brought energy to "Pienen pojan elämää" by Klamydia, infusing the punky track with playful flair. Luuranko offered a smooth take on "Timanttei" by Mirella, highlighting vocal agility in the contemporary pop number. Huisku performed "Keinu" by Cheek, blending rap elements with melodic hooks for a dynamic stage presence. Kakka closed the set with a quirky cover of "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette, capturing the song's sarcastic tone through exaggerated gestures.[272]

Following the performances, the studio audience voted, placing Tähkä in the bottom and leading to its unmasking. The panel had speculated on Tähkä's identity with guesses including Robert Helenius (Veitola), Shawn Huff (Peltonen), and Sinuhe Wallinheimo (Kataja), but Poikelus correctly identified the performer as Marko Anttila, the 203 cm tall ice hockey legend known as "Mörkö," captain of the Finnish national team Leijonat, and a two-time world champion with an Olympic gold from 2022. Anttila, who had previously sung "Löikö mörkö sisään?" in an earlier episode, reflected post-reveal that the experience was fun despite not being a singer, noting the physical demands of the costume. This elimination left eight contestants advancing: Minttu, Luuranko, Huisku, Kakka, Pesukarhu, Kalakukko, Yö ja Päivä, and Toukka, following prior reveals of Pellet as Lakko and Herbalisti (a duo), Tikkari as Emma Kimiläinen, and Raasu as Ellen Jokikunnas.[272][273]

The contestants delivered a mix of classic and contemporary songs, showcasing their vocal abilities while incorporating thematic clues tied to their disguises. Notable performances included Yö ja Päivä's emotional rendition of "Maasta taivaaseen" by pehmoaino, which evoked themes of contrast and harmony aligning with the mask's duality; Luuranko's haunting cover of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, praised for its depth and emotional resonance; Kakka's powerful take on "All by Myself" by Eric Carmen, emphasizing isolation in a humorous yet poignant way; and Minttu's energetic performance of "Viva Las Vegas" by Elvis Presley, featuring Musta-Lammas on electric piano for a lively, nostalgic twist.

Yö ja Päivä sang "Tattoo" by Loreen, Sweden's 2023 Eurovision victor, in a dramatic and emotive style that highlighted the dual-sided mask's contrasting night and day elements. Pesukarhu took the stage with "Hard Rock Hallelujah" by Lordi, Finland's iconic 2006 winning track, featuring theatrical monster-themed staging and humorous clues referencing the mask's mischievous raccoon character. Kakka's performance rounded out the main segment, adhering to the Eurovision theme with a bold and entertaining delivery, though specific song details emphasized the contest's diverse musical legacy rather than individual metrics. The panel, consisting of host Ilkka Uusivuori, Janne Kataja, Maria Veitola, Jenni Poikelus, Benjamin Peltonen, and guest Silvennoinen, provided guesses based on vocal timbre, clues involving travel and performance history, and thematic ties to Eurovision events.[288][289] Following the performances, studio audience votes determined the elimination, with Pesukarhu receiving the fewest votes and advancing to the unmasking. The panel's guesses included Eppu Salminen (by Veitola and Peltonen), Mikael Forsby (by Silvennoinen and Kataja), and a correct prediction of Constantinos "Gogi" Mavromichalis by Poikelus. Pesukarhu was revealed as Mavromichalis, a Greek-Finnish television presenter known for hosting shows like Gogi's Kitchen. In post-reveal interviews, Mavromichalis described the experience as "one of the strangest things I've ever done" but ultimately liberating and enjoyable, noting the physical challenges of the costume and the thrill of anonymity. This elimination left four contestants—Metsäpeikko, Yö ja Päivä, Luuranko, and Kakka—advancing to the semifinals. The episode underscored the show's blend of mystery, music, and cultural nods to Eurovision, drawing strong viewer engagement with its thematic focus.[288][289]

Week 11 (9 November) – Duets

In the eleventh episode of Masked Singer Suomi season 6, aired on 9 November 2024, the remaining four contestants—Kakka, Luuranko, Metsäpeikko, and Yö ja Päivä—performed duets alongside celebrity guests, marking the semifinals. The episode introduced a special non-competing masked guest, Usko Dindulaatti, who dueted with panelist Benjamin Peltonen on "Paremmin ku kukaan muu" by Bess; the character's identity was revealed immediately afterward as actress Kiti Kokkonen.[290][291] The duets emphasized collaboration, with each contestant paired with a prominent Finnish artist or performer. The performances were as follows:

Following the performances, studio audience and panel votes determined the elimination, with Kakka receiving the fewest votes and becoming the eleventh unmasking of the season.[290] The panel, consisting of Janne Kataja, Maria Veitola, Benjamin Peltonen, and Jenni Poikelus, had speculated identities including Saara Aalto (guessed by multiple members, influenced by emoji clues suggesting a singer) and others like Tiina Forsby or Noora Karma; none anticipated the reveal.[296] Beneath the Kakka mask was 37-year-old ventriloquist and social media influencer Sari Aalto, known for her third-place finish on Talent Suomi in 2017 and her distinctive puppetry style, which had fueled misdirection throughout the competition.[297] Aalto expressed surprise at the elimination, noting the fun of performing in the unconventional costume.[296] The episode advanced Luuranko (blues guitarist Erja Lyytinen), Metsäpeikko (ballet dancer Atte Kilpinen), and Yö ja Päivä (singer Arja Koriseva) to the finale, setting up the season's conclusion.[61]

Week 12 (16 November) – Final

The final episode of the sixth season of Masked Singer Suomi aired on 16 November 2024 on MTV3, featuring the three remaining contestants competing for the title. The episode followed the standard format, with each finalist delivering performances to showcase their vocal abilities, after which the studio audience voted to determine the winner. Hosted by Ilkka Uusivuori, the panel consisted of Janne Kataja, Maria Veitola, Benjamin Peltonen, and Jenni Poikelus, who provided guesses based on clues accumulated throughout the season.[298] The finalists were Luuranko (Skeleton), Yö ja päivä (Night & Day), and Metsäpeikko (Forest Troll).[299] Each performed at least one song in the finale, with Metsäpeikko delivering a rendition of "Spooky Scary Skeletons" by Andrew Gold, adapted to fit the character's whimsical forest theme.[300] The performances emphasized emotional delivery and stage presence, building on the contestants' previous showings, though specific songs for the other finalists were not publicly detailed in episode recaps beyond their thematic alignment with the characters' identities.[301] Following the performances and voting, Luuranko was the first unmasked, revealed as blues guitarist and singer Erja Lyytinen, placing third. Yö ja päivä, unmasked next as veteran pop singer Arja Koriseva, finished as runner-up. Metsäpeikko was crowned the season's winner and unmasked last as Atte Kilpinen, a principal soloist dancer and choreographer with the Finnish National Ballet, marking the first time a non-singer from the performing arts background claimed victory in the show's history.[302] Kilpinen expressed surprise at the win, noting in post-show interviews that he never expected to succeed in a singing competition given his dance-focused career.[62] The finale drew 680,000 viewers, contributing to the season's strong ratings on MTV3. It concluded the main competition, though a Christmas special aired later on 23 November 2024 with additional reveals.

Specials

Masked Singer Suomi: Pelastakaa Lasten joulu (23 November 2024)

The Masked Singer Suomi: Pelastakaa Lasten joulu was a one-off charity special episode of the Finnish reality singing competition series, aired on 23 November 2024 at 19:30 EET on MTV3 and available on MTV Katsomo.[320] Produced in collaboration with the Finnish branch of Save the Children (Pelastakaa Lapset), the episode aimed to raise awareness and funds for underprivileged families during the holiday season, featuring real stories of supported children and families to highlight the charity's mission of preventing child poverty and exclusion.[321] Unlike the competitive format of the main series, this holiday-themed installment emphasized festive entertainment and philanthropy, with no permanent eliminations and all participants unmasked by the end.[17] Hosted by Ilkka "Ile" Uusivuori, the special retained the core panel of investigators: Janne Kataja, Maria Veitola, Jenni "Jenspa" Poikelus, and Benjamin Peltonen, who provided guesses based on performances and clues presented in video packages.[322] A unique twist involved three entirely new Christmas-inspired masks—Joulukuusi (Christmas Tree), Lumiukko (Snowman), and Poro (Reindeer)—portrayed by celebrity guests who performed holiday songs.[17] The episode incorporated light competition elements through viewer voting, crowning a winner without eliminations affecting the charity focus, and encouraged donations via on-screen prompts tied to the Pelastakaa Lasten joulukeräys (Christmas fundraiser).[321] In the first round, the masks performed original Christmas tracks with clues hinting at their identities through thematic visuals and personal anecdotes. Lumiukko sang "Talven ihmemaa" by Laila Kinnunen, Joulukuusi performed "Last Christmas" by Wham!, and Poro delivered "Walking in the Air" by Howard Blake in falsetto.[322] For the second round, Lumiukko returned with "Joulun kanssas jaan" by Paula Koivuniemi, while Poro offered a heavy metal rendition of the Finnish classic "Petteri Punakuono."[322] Joulukuusi was the first to unmask, revealing singer Alma Hätönen, followed by Lumiukko as singer Laura Voutilainen, who placed as runner-up.[322] The episode concluded with Poro unmasking as singer and radio host Olli Herman, who won the viewer vote and surprised the panel with his versatile performance style.[322] The special generated buzz for its joyful tone and charitable impact, supporting Save the Children's efforts to aid over 50,000 children annually in Finland.[323]
