Who is Gumball on The Masked Singer season 11? Show clues

What do the clues reveal about Gumball's identity? Here's a roundup of all the clues revealed so far:

The Wizard of Oz Night

Clue: Tin Man's heart-shaped clock. "Deep down, at the end of the day, Tin Man had the heart of a superhero. And I might too."

Voiceover Clue: "Just like the Tin Man, my heart took quite a beating. Because my yellow brick road to success came with zero directions. I knew I wanted to end up on the stage, but didn’t know how to make that happen. So, I did anything and everything to get an audience. I beatboxed on the streets. I performed at theme parks. And even got booed off the stage at a competition — for winning! I felt like nothing seemed to stick. And watched everyone else around me succeed, time and time again. But I refused to quit. Because no one was going to burst my bubble. And, like a lot of us in Hollywood, I needed a little timing and a lot of luck. But I’m proof that even if your road isn’t paved with gold, as long as your heart is, you’ll find your way."

Girl Group Night clues: 

Clue: Delivered by Carnie Wilson. "Don't you wish you could have starred with Channing Tatum like me?"

Voiceover clue: "You all got my heart beating last time with all of your love. And the last smackdown, that was wicked fun. It’s exciting to perform on girl group night because there’s actually one girl who’s been singing lead in my life for years. My wife. I still remember the night that I met her. An angel from across the room. I knew right then and there I’d spend the rest of my life with her. And everything was perfect. Until she was diagnosed with a disease that would impact her later in life. Suddenly, the forever that we were planning looked very different, and we had a decision to make. We could let what was on the horizon define us, or we could choose to be present each and every moment. To say yes more and explore all of the wide open spaces out there. Tonight, I’m singing one of her favorite songs, just for her."

Soundtrack of My Life Night clues:

Clue: "Ken, one of the funniest jobs that I've ever been a park of, you've been involved as well."

Voiceover clue: "I absolutely loved singing ‘Wide Open Spaces’ for my wife last time. The night before my first performance, I looked at her and said, I can’t do this. I know the immense talent that has hit this stage before, and I thought, maybe I just don’t belong here. I’ve always felt like I was pretending to be something else. My family moved around a lot as a kid, and as the perpetual new guy, I would do anything to make friends. Even when I started performing on stage, I always felt out of place. I have no formal training, no education. Despite some major successes, I still get those feelings to this day. But luckily, I have people around me to tell me to dig deep and carry on. And that’s why I’m singing ‘Carry On Wayward Son.’ It’s about not giving up and after making it to the Group B finale, I’m glad I listened to my wife. It’s the tears from the crowd that’s making the kid inside me believe that maybe I belong here."

The Masked Singer season 11 airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox and streams the following day on Hulu.
