Season 11 of The Masked Singer is coming to a close, and Rita Ora is still struggling to guess who is behind the Gumball costume. In a clip from the season finale on May 22, Ora, 33, reflects on the journey she has shared with Gumball. Gumball is one of the two remaining contestants, along with Goldfish, after Thelma Houston was revealed as Clock last week.
Ora starts off the clip by sharing her first encounter with Gumball. She recalls how he introduced himself as a superhero and mentioned being Southern. This made her think of actor Chace Crawford, who is also from Texas and plays a superhero on The Boys.
However, Ora quickly moves on to other thoughts and guesses.
She remembers thinking, "Who could be fun and play a significant role?" She even considered Jack Black but realized that it wouldn't work out.

Ora thought a football clue was pointing to Taylor Kitsch, known for his role as Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights. However, the clues about Gumball's family and kids do not match up with Kitsch's personal life.
Ora is feeling the pressure as she sees this as her final opportunity to guess the identity of the contestant. She decides to throw out a few more names in the hopes that one of them will be the correct answer. One of her suggestions is Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Although the clip cuts off before Ora's guess can be confirmed, fans will soon discover if she was right. Her fellow panelists, including Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke, and Jenny McCarthy, have also made their guesses. They believe that Gumball could possibly be Kevin Jonas, Jamie Dornan, Derek Hough, Taran Killam, James Marsden, Jason Sudeikis, or Zachary Levi.

Season 11 of the show has revealed some well-known celebrities, such as Jenifer Lewis, Corey Feldman, and a duo consisting of Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken.
In a recent interview, Aiken, aged 45, shared with Us that there was a significant gap between filming the show and its airdate, causing him to almost forget about his participation.
"We both forgot that our episode was airing, because it was filmed so long ago and we’re getting old,” Aiken joked. “I think I even texted it to you, Ruben, and said, ‘We sound good.’ And you said, ‘Huh?’ I said, ‘You don’t remember our show aired last night?’ And you’re like, ‘Oh, crap.’”
The Masked Singer airs on Fox Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
