Masked Singer: Victor Oladipo Wants to Date Judge Nicole Scherzinger
The former contestant on The Masked Singer, Victor Oladipo - also known as Thingamajig - asked judge Nicole Scherzinger on a date after his unmasking and has plans to get her on a date. The two have had a whole season of flirting and smiles that even caught the attention of the rest of the judges and audience.
Season 2 of The Masked Singer has quickly taken over Wednesday nights as a fan must-see. The show is a top-secret singing competition where celebrities from all walks of life face off against one another while performing in elaborate costumes and masks that conceal their identity. In the past weeks of the competition, some stars have been revealed to fans such as Kelly Osbourne, Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child, and Paul Shaffer. The audience and judges vote for their favorite singer of the night which means the character with the least number of votes must be sent home each week.
As part of the semi-final's double elimination, Thingamajig was shown to be Victor Oladipo from the Indiana Pacers. Throughout the NBA player's stint on the show, he had been serenading the judges and the audience with his smooth John Legend-esque vocals. He and judge, Nicole Scherzinger, seemed to hit it off effortlessly and began flirting with her while in the Thingamajig costume. He even started to include her in his set packages. After a solid performance and his dismissal from the show, Oladipo told host, Nick Cannon, that he would be happy to go on a date with the Pussycat Doll singer saying, he'd be happy to, "anywhere, any time, any place."
On Thursday, Oladipo spoke with People about his experience singing undercover, saying that he hopes to snag a date with the cute judge. When asked about a date with the beauty, he said, "If I actually do, hopefully, it’s in the near future if the moment or opportunity presents itself,” he said of taking Scherzinger on a date." He also noted that the date would be centered around getting to know each other away from the hit show. The date would be all about his crush, taking her to the places she would enjoy, saying, "If I did, I would just take her to wherever she wants to go because it would be all about her and me getting to know her."
The basketball player has had a rough year as he suffered from a knee injury. For Oladipo being able to perform on stage and bring joy to others was a blessing and comfort he desperately needed. To find himself away from the game and sport was a vacation he needed to get his head back on right. Oladipo was not alone in the demasking as the leopard was also sent home; revealing himself to be the iconic British singer, Seal. Fans are super excited for the season finale when the Flamingo, Fox, and Rottweiler go head to head in the season finale- but maybe Oladipo will end up being the real winner in this deal.
The Masked Singer finale airs next Wednesday at 8 pm EST on Fox.
