It's not terrible.

The theme is very "korean gameshow" with the competitive highlighting of performances and acts, where it shouldn't be so boisterous. I get why, it just seems to be pegged onto a mystery. The "reveal" is often cringe-inducing, as is the frequent Clue segments designed to draw pre-teens and bored people into the drama.

The better part is the high budget performances, the lackluster part is the comperes, the skits which introduce the "mystery" of who the masked performer is supposed to be, and the setup of the show, i.e. "Have I met this person?" while they play elevator music over the sting and credits while the performance is being evaluated.

The staff aren't great, they aren't terrible. Having Lindsay Lohan, Dannii Minogue, Dave Hughes, Jackie O and the flamboyant Osher Günsberg as the talking head is adequate. Lohan's responses are on par with her being completely out of the joke. which is fine. She's the token guest and it's actually compelling to see how she responds, given her unfamiliarity with the whole setup.

Having Danni, Dave and Jackie alone would be typical Sunday Night filler TV. Lindsay fits in as well as Dave does, so it's all equally cringey.

The majority of the show is the half-assed guessing game, while the modern twitter audience has long gone into collective consensus gathering, which ends up taking away from the mystery aspect. If you're a fan, you'll enjoy the drama and speculation game. If not, it's tolerable.
