'I Can See Your Voice': Heather has big dreams about her wedding, will she win big in the game?
The November 18 episode of ‘I Can See Your Voice’ was a special one as it started with Ken Jeong taking the stage as he played piano and sang in his lovely voice. Unlike 'The Masked Singer', this show has some bad singers that will do good to the contestants by allowing them to win big. To describe in Ken’s own words as he says, “spotting terrible talent can make you really rich.”
With bad and good singers taking the stage, it is up to the contestant to figure out who can sing. With six rounds for them to understand their voices, the show offers $10,000 for the first five stages and a chance to win $100,000 in the sixth round. In this episode, the rules and the prize amount were changed a little. With each round, the contestant still gets a chance to win $10,000. For the fifth round, the contestant has a chance at “double-winning” for prize money of $20,000 if the singer they choose can actually sing and another $20,000 at the final round. It’s being speculated that the episode might have been actually shot as the pilot episode.
For this week's episode, we had contestant Heather from Los Angeles playing to win big to have a big wedding. Her fiance came to support her and sat with the audience. The starts on the judging seat were Adrienne Houghton (who would also be singing for the final round with the last person standing), Joel McHale, Deon Cole, Jeff Dye and Cheryl Hines. The singers and non-singers were under the disguise of Taekwondo instructor, Flower child, Wedding singer, Queen of Goth, Dr. Jazz and Tennis Champ.
After the first lipsync round amongst Taekwondo instructor, Flower child and Wedding singer, Heather decided to give the Wedding singer the chop after consulting with the judges. Turned out he was a good singer and she ended up losing $10,000. The second lipsync round was amongst Queen of Goth, Dr. Jazz and Tennis Champ. Going against the judges warning Heather decided to give Dr Jazz the chop. The risk paid off as he really was a bad singer and Heather won $10,000 for the first time in the game. Next she puts the Flower girl for the chop thinking she was faking she could sing by fake playing her banjo. Turns out she really couldn’t play the banjo but she could sing and heather lost another $10,000. She won her money back when she dumped the Taekwondo instructor with a terrible voice for the chop.
After an interrogation round with the Queen of Goth, Heather felt her story was not adding up and gave her the chop for the “double-winning” round. Had she been a bad singer, she could have won Heather $20,000. Unfortunately, she had an angel-like voice and Heather felt nervous that the Tennis Champ who she saved for the final round might be a bad singer.
As Adrianne got ready for the final performance along with the Tennis player she reminded Heather that she could take the money she won and have a beautiful wedding instead of risking it all. Heather decided to play anyway and once again her risk paid off as the Tennis champ turned out to be a phenomenal singer. Heather went home with a whooping $40,000 with her fiance.
'I Can See Your Voice' airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm ET on Fox.
