Throughout the season, fans and judges speculated about the true identity of the singer behind the Gumball mask. In the finale, Gumball and Goldfish faced off for the trophy.

Despite losing, Porter took pride in his anonymity, feeling it was a "badge of honor" to have made it to the finale without being identified. He said, "At the end of the day, to make it all the way to the finale with them not having any idea of who I am, I think I’ll take that as a win."
Scott Porter reveals he identified Goldfish mask Vanessa Hudgens immediately
In the Season 11 finale of 'The Masked Singer', Scott Porter revealed that he immediately identified Vanessa Hudgens as the singer behind the Goldfish mask. This surprising revelation came after Hudgens was crowned the winner of the season.
Scott Porter, who was unmasked as Gumball, shared that recognizing Hudgens' voice was not difficult for him because of their past work together in the movie 'Bandslam'. He said, "As someone who had worked with her before, that voice was unmistakable." His familiarity with Hudgens' voice allowed him to pinpoint her identity right away.
During a commercial break, Porter even hinted at his recognition by walking up to Hudgens on stage and saying, "I know you. You have no idea who I am." Despite Porter's certainty, Hudgens was completely surprised by his identity. She admitted that she would make a terrible judge on the show because she had "absolutely no idea who anyone was."
