How is Sammie calming Jan ‘my queen’ any better than Ella calling her momma bear?

Georgina is an absolute moron, and to turn on people such as Ella and to an extent Tim who were meant to be her ‘geez’ questions how genuine she’s been, as much as the others. James is a riot too, and comes across as not quite right but at least it’s spicing it up a bit - I just can’t get passed Georgina’s reaction.

you just know georgina is going to play along though - she said as much at the beginning about ella no longer being the glue that holds them all together or WTTE.

Just out of curiosity, what was it that you were expecting? The X Factor, to put it plainly is people battling it out for a recording contract and that was made clear that it wasn’t going to change for the celebrity version. In terms of the shows tag they had said the stars aren’t primarily known for their singing - this is a reach as some obviously have a level of singing background (although not mainly known for it i wouldn’t say) but i thought it was better sacrificing that for a good show of mainly competent singers instead of the comedy element. I get people are fed up of X Factor but I think they freshened it up where they could.

I really enjoyed this and it felt more fresh than before - it’s the X Factor though so you know roughly what you’re going to get but I did enjoy it! For me, TryStar were standouts but Jenny was great too!

DNA - Going Nowhere 🙈 SALUTE - These Four Walls GET WEIRD - Seceret Love Song Part II GLORY DAYS - Dear Lover LM5 - Forget You Not/Wasabi

They are constantly teasing things on insta - I wonder if they’re maybe doing XF All stars?

Just got last minute tickets to Glasgow! Decent seats as well, I’m so excited!

I think Ellis is quite witty, and we’ve seen some good conversations between her and Woody/Sammy and Tim. Although you like Brooke, even her wariness of her has been interesting. I don’t think it shown her to be horrible, as everyone being overly nice on a group chat when they’re there to play a game is a bit cringe! I really like Brooke as a person and if she was on Big Brother she’d probably be good, but I don’t think she’s playing the game well. We do only see her when she is initiating the Scholar Squad chat and even then it tends to be the same conversation as you barely see her interact with others. It could be the edit I guess, but she doesn’t seem to add much in terms of gameplay or potential story.

I really hope Brooke goes - we don’t seem to see anything of her unless it’s in that squalor squad chat!

I know, I just don’t get the love at all - he seems so contrived and false.

I’m currently at: 1. Ella 2. Woody 3. Georgina 4. Brooke 5. Katy/Jay 6. James/Sammie 7. Tim

Couldn’t find a thread for Inner Monologue PII, but the tour starts tomorrow - is anyone else going?

The UK media are all over Jesy today following the admission that she attempted suicide in 2013 - scary that we’d never have known :(

I know we don't have much concrete news as of yet, but she's been in the studio quite a bit over the past few months which is something!

I'm in love with this album so much - Death By a Thousand Cuts & The Man are definitely the ones atm, although I can't be alone in bopping to London Boy surely?

London Boy is the best song on the album 🙈🙈

I keep seeing so much negativity for Taylor on other forums and just can’t understand why - for me this album is up there with 1989 and Reputation!

I love this - I didn't hate Me but this is definitely more instant.

I feel like this is the era that should have followed Teenage Dream - The last album was very generic but this is unmistakably Katy and I LOVE it

I've loved all their output until this song 😭 I think the girl who sings @ the beginnings voice is really grating - I still think they have tons of potential though and I'm here for any future releases!

I’m genuinely praying that Diana Vickers does this.

i’m Buzzing at the ‘gorgeous’ love - it’s one of my fav Taylor songs!

I don’t understand the hate for it - the verses kind of remind me of Blank Space a little, The middle eight isn’t great, but I think it doesn’t help that the video was released at the same time as the song. I really like this though
