Overview
- The Fox competition, which aired its finale Wednesday, resumed after a mid-episode presidential address on the East Coast and finished the broadcast the same night.
- The final four each performed in two rounds, and combined panel and audience votes set the final order and selected the champion.
- For the finale, producers removed the usual voice filter and invited famous friends to deliver last clues, adding a new twist to the reveal process.
- The winner received the Golden Mask trophy, and the show confirms there is no cash prize, though contestants are paid standard stipends during filming.
- Before the episode, betting markets had a different favorite, showing how oddsmaker picks can diverge from the live vote that decides the outcome.
