Is anyone else watching? 👀

I'm LOVING it. It's basically a Love Is Blind meets Popstars: The Rivals type format with about 50 contestants in individual pods and they can hear each other perform, phone each other and build their own bands based on chemistry. Each band has to have between 3-5 members and the first 6 bands to be formed move on to the next stage. The series features AJ McLean as host and Nicole Scherzinger as main mentor to the groups. Kelly Rowland and Liam Payne (RIP ) also appear as judges in the latter stages.

*SPOILERS AHEAD ABOUT EPISODES 1 - 7*

My ranking of the final 6 bands:

1. Soulidified. - 100% the alpha boyband. Landon alone will have the gays and girls assembling let's be real. Their chemistry seems so natural and they all seem like decent guys. Big potential

2. SZN 4. - really have potential to become a vocal powerhouse quartet. I love their unconventional dynamic. Like it shouldn't work but it does.

3. 3QUENCY. - love the fact two of the girls met each other as kids, have to admit I wasn't super excited by them at first but their showcase performance got me on board! Dark horses!

4. SWEET SEDUCTION. - very on the fence! I love the bratty, give-zero-****s vibe they are going for and their vocals are insane both individually and together BUT the group cohesion just isn't there atm. And as funny as Alison can be, she's too self-serving to be in a group and I feel sorry for the other two girls at this point. I wish the girl hitting all the big notes actually joined the other two girls Alison turned down to form the final group.

5. SIREN SOCIETY. - I like them! I don't think I've actively rooted for any of the members yet unlike the other girl groups but their performance of Don't Cha made me pay attention.

6. MIDNIGHT 'TIL MORNING. - sorry I don't like the little guy who's trying too hard to be a rockstar. It comes off arrogant and entitled. The band have zero chemistry also.

Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out and if any of them can go on to have success after the show!

I've been watching this! I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would but it does feel over produced, I don't believe a lot of these bands came together naturally. I'm sad bc Elise is my favourite vocalist but the worst thing she could have done was join Alison's band and well.... She has such a strong and unique voice but she's not going to get the chance to showcase that, she's definitely front woman material. Alison has no interest in actually being in a band, it's so clear she's just using it as a stepping stone to launch a solo career thinking she's the next Beyonce. Her voice isn't even that special, she just sounds like an Ariana wannabe. I really like Brianna's voice as well but I hate Nori in that lineup, they definitely should have taken Bri on instead or made a 4 piece with her. I like Midnight Til Morning except for Connor, they'd be stronger as a trio imo. I like Soulidified but they definitely feel the most produced and I think they're gearing up for them to win. It will come down to them vs SZN4 I'm sure of it, the latter is really good but I just can't picture them as their own band doing their own music, I get cover band vibes.

this show was going great until they picked the wrong group for the finale and then topped it off with the wrong group winning. The second place band was the best group by far every episode. I won't watch another season if there is one. After this result, I hope it doesn't come back.

I'm happy with that result, REALLY unexpected but that's who I was rooting for!! They really brought it in their last two performances, I feel like they're the most likeable as well and you can see what sort of career they'll have going forward whereas the other bands just didn't have the same edge really and I couldn't really the same future for them

Really enjoyed this and so happy with the winning band, totally unexpected! Something really likeable about them!

Although the other "final" band (no spoilers) were great - I couldn't see how that would work. And I found one of the singers mildly irritating 🙃

I've binged this over the last few days, loved the format, found it really refreshing! Fantastic winner too, not who I was initially backing but they pulled ahead in the "live" show performances.
