Calum

That seemed like a cruelly difficult trial for one person. Aitch did well to get those 7 stars I like that we've had two very entertaining trials so far but they're actually getting the job done too and not being insufferable Dean types.

Honestly I would have had Catrin go (and about f***ing time too!) because what the f*** was that makeover? IMO quite possibly one of the worst things I've seen on that main stage. Poor Diane looked a state. Bonnie's wasn't much better but at least she tried something bold. Re. Catrin in the lip-sync too I really cannot when queens don't know the words and just look like they're trying to click their jaw back into place the whole time. Just crown Bones already at this point please.

Riding the struggle bus here too but will find something by the deadline!

My opinion on Ruby has completely changed she's been amazing entertainment in this episode (alongside Ginge).

I really don't enjoy this whole idea of chopping apart the classic stories to turn them into 'blockbusters' and from what I've seen of the other edits it really doesn't make much of a difference either besides condensing the story. Really hope that's something they put a stop to soon.

Just caught up and kinda really enjoyed Ginge. Ruby was the one I found pretty annoying despite going into it thinking she'd be a hoot.

Don't really get the hate for the twins but I was a bit confused by the one that almost decided to switch to the other team in Catch (both that and Chutes and Ladders were great additions!). That guy deciding to go with 432 to share the disadvantage with immediately after 431 was eliminated kinda pissed me off, like he was already down so what's the point? Overall I don't really feel like this is as good a final few as season 1 or that we've been on a journey with any of them. Probably rooting for Dajah to win at this point. If the bald millionaire wins I'll riot (something in the air with the bald guys because that New York police officer was SO infuriating too).

Gentle bump for visibility (see also Joseph's thread in Forum News & Help). Still a lot of incorrectly tagged threads.
