Well, FOX certainly got as much mileage as it possibly could have from it’s Rudy Giuliani unmasking tonight on The Masked Singer.

They saved the controversial figure for the final elimination in the final heat of this Good, Bad, and Cuddily season.

And they maxed out viewer interest in what was a relatively tame unmasking.

Only Ken Jeung was visibly upset. Nicole and Jenny were dancing. Robin Thicke was disappointed but probably because he praised the “Jack in the Box” before the unmasking. He was not visible in the final shot of the episode (he was rumored to have also walked off).

Social media still had some very strong opinions.

Let’s go to the reactions…..

Thank you, @kenjeong You didn’t clap, you didn’t speak, you walked away from a tyrant. I love #themaskedsinger but I stand with you. Never should have had that man on the show. #belikeken

Good for Ken to walk off. Rudy is a Jack Hole in a box that has disgraced the legal process and democracy. Can’t believe Fox stooped this low for ratings#TheMaskedSinger

I don’t believe for a second that audience cheered for that man. I bet they used stock footage#TheMaskedSinger

Don’t care that he is lousy at making guesses-I have all the respect for Dr Ken-and none for Jenny and Nicole who kowtowed to traitorous Rudy Giuliani And then Robin clapping w/a big smile #TheMaskedSinger

Jenny McCarthy being a woo girl for Rudy Giuliani. Ken Jeong had the correct reaction. #TheMaskedSinger

So upsetting that Ken couldn’t be professional and had to bring his personal beliefs into it #TheMaskedSinger

Mannnn! @NickCannon @kenjeong & @robinthicke we’re pissed #TheMaskedSinger pic.twitter.com/ogg7XnPJQS

It’s likely that after this reaction and the continued success of the show, that we could have more unpopular singers in future seasons.

What did you think of the unmasking? Does having politicians like Giuliani and Sarah Palin affect your opinion of the show. Let us know in the comments.
