October 22, 20195 yr I love Megan and believe it’s her dream but when you do things like that before you have a singing career when you want to start it it’s hard to be taken seriously. Had she had a singing career to start with and then went down the reality route it wouldn’t have been as difficult but that’s just my opinion. She’d be better off starting a career in another country where she hasn’t been on TV before and there’s less pre conceptions of her. Plus my main dislike this week really was what was the point of auditions or judges houses depending on what they called it lol usually it is to whittle down contestants. So far we’ve had three eliminations where ones been brought back and then someone else is joining the lives too. Amazing job of getting the contestants down :lol: :lol: I bet Jenny’s exit was completely staged though. I mean, she did top the Itunes chart, and whilst it’s not the beast it once was surely some people must be taking her a little serious? I don’t think reality TV is as damaging as it once was either, and if the music is good she’ll be fine.
October 22, 20195 yr Hopefully they have guest performers on the live shows, always nice ot see some promo slots! :angel: If they do I’d guess at James Arthur being one this week as he’s just released his third album.
October 22, 20195 yr I think Megan probably has the best chance of anyone to do well out of this tbh, maybe just in a Radio 2 esque album kind of way but still. That's better than you'd get off the main show in most cases :lol: I think a good bunch of them have commercial potential and whilst the show isn't the juggernaut it once was, and I don't expect they will find a star on the level of Little Mix, 1D or Leona (I mean Dalton hasn't even RELEASED yet), I can't see why it's impossible that they will do anything. Just two years ago Rak-Su got a big hit with Dimelo off the back of the show, and I know Megan had some tantrums on CBB but people have come back from so much worse. I think this strikes the balance just right, all of them seem to be there to either take music seriously or at least have a go and explore that side of things to see what happens, but it's not taking itself TOO seriously. I like the little bits and pieces of them talking and the VTs are just enough to get to know everyone without making everything a sob story or dragging them out with their entire life story. I feel like if it was for charity, it'd veer more into embarrassing as I think bigger names would do it, but at the expense of talent, so it'd just end up like the infamous first celebrity series.
October 22, 20195 yr To win 5/2 Meghan McKenna 9/2 Max and Harvey 8/1 Vinnie Jones 10/1 Try Star 10/1 V5 10/1 Victoria Ekanoye 12/1 Jenny Ryan 12/1 Jonny Labey 16/1 Kevin McHale 28/1 Olivia Olson 40/1 Love Islanders 40/1 Martin Bashir 66/1 Ricki Lake Vinnie being third fave :drama:
October 22, 20195 yr Vinnie's donating his proceeds from a record deal to hospitals who treated his wife, he is so winning this

People have come back from much worse than Megan but the awful thing is she’s a young woman. Had she been a male reality star whod been violent or someone like Ben whod cheated on his wife nobody would bat an eyelid though but girls always have it harder to come back from things for some reason. I mean look at the main chart people like Chris Brown can score hits pretty easily after what he did but Jessie Js commercial career died and she did much less controversial things.
October 22, 20195 yr I’d say Jonny has the best shot to win the whole thing tbh. Vinnie I could see reaching third perhaps. Megan will probably finish top 5 too but I can’t see her winning :( Victoria will be the what we call shock exit.
October 24, 20195 yr Hopefully they have guest performers on the live shows, always nice ot see some promo slots! They only have 1 hour and 50 minutes for 13 candidates and results as we lose the result show on Sunday, so I don’t think we get a guest performer this week.

I expect they'll be adding each week one at a time going forward.

Oh, I thought they normally have all the dates up at once like every year. I guess we will see by how many people get sent home this weekend!
