A humor group with close family ties has been sweating inside the narrow innards of the Octopus under the season's progress. When the mask is removed, the three members of IJustWantToBeCool look almost relieved.
The risk of someone passing out during the recordings has indeed been considerable.
It's been near, you're sitting and spinning like this and then you feel "I'm about to faint", says Victor Beer and waves his arms.
Måns guessed right
The Octopus competed with Björn Skifs' old Melodifestival song "Michelangelo" and continued on the schlager track with Hasse Andersson's "Gold and Green Forests" when it became a "faceoff" against Scengångaren.
Early on, comedian Måns Möller, who replaced Måns Zelmerlöw in the jury for the evening, guessed that it was IJustWantToBeCool hiding behind the mask. And after the final battle, where Scengångaren went on to the semifinals, all jury members had IJustWantToBeCool as their first choice.
Sweden's most powerful
The brothers Victor Beer and Emil Ejdemo Beer and their cousin Joel Adolphson started uploading humor videos on YouTube as early as 2011. Now they also have children's books, a podcast and a TV series behind them – and have several times ended up on the list of Sweden's most powerful on social media.
Is being in "Masked Singer" like a receipt that we've become popular?
So popular that they hide us behind a mask, replies Emil Ejdemo Beer.
In the semifinals next week, the contestants will receive reinforcement from vocal artists. Then it will be duets with Sarah Dawn Finer, Lucianoz, Smash Into Pieces, Margaux Flavet, and Oscar Zia.
