The Masked

TEN, 7.30pm

SINGER AUSTRALIA

It’s another singing competition, but there’s no other show with a party of lively crooning creatures. Set to inspire some feverish sleuthing, this season’s sprightly and bizarre characters include a hi-tech space fairy (pictured), a leather-jacketed crash-test dummy, a candy-coloured, pouty “cow” girl and a sparkling snow fox, with a crew of well-known celebrities hiding underneath these elaborate costumes. The avour of this over-the-top competition is delightfully ostentatious, with host Osher Günsberg and judges Abbie Chat eld, Mel B, Chrissie Swan and Dave

WEDNESDAY STARSTRUCK

ABC, 9.30pm

Dynamic Kiwi comedian Rose Matafeo’s (pictured) quirky rom-com has returned for its third season with an unexpected twist. After concluding on a heartwarming note between lovers Jessie (Matafeo) and Tom (Nikesh Patel), this spirited, funny story has fast-forwarded two years, and Jessie is now single. “It could have just been another year of Tom and Jessie going out and crazy pratfalls and that happened because he’s famous,” declares Matafeo. “I’d be bored by that… I want to get to the heavy stu .” As we ponder whether their spark can be reignited, Jessie distracts herself from news of Tom’s engagement by going on a date. Lively and refreshing, this new direction is seductive.
